Should I write this review auf Deutsch? I probably couldn't. Â Maybe I could do an English-German hybrid :P
This place reminded me so much of a place I went to in Germany...(<a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/das-molkenhaus-bad-harzburg#hrid:SnQAIycyi84KknLW3Ajcow/src:self">http://www.yelp.com/biz/…</a>)  except when I was in Germany I had to walk like 6 miles to get to it in the mountains.  I only had to drive about 30 minutes to get here.  And I napped for part of it.
I absolutely love every minute of my experience here! Â We ended up sitting outside on the patio area in the back. Â Our server was super nice and friendly. Â I got the amber draft (the Oktoberfest) and it was yummy. Â We both started off with soup. Â I got the crab, and he got the goulash, which was good because we both wanted to try both and switched halfway though. I LOVE crab soup... but if I were to order one again I would probably order the goulash. Â It's filling though so be careful!
For entree I ordered a schnitzel (I don't remember what it's called and I don't see it listed on their menu online) Â It came with fries and the french fries (excuse me, pomme frittes) were SO GOOD!
I was absolutely full. Â It was so much food. Â But I had a taste of ice cream cake for dessert anyway. Â
I want to come back and have fried pickles!!! Â This place was fabulous and I want to return before the summer is over and sit outside and enjoy the wonderful food and drink again!
I can't believe I've lived here for 4 years and never heard of this place until friends from Rockville told me about it! Â I'm a disgrace to all Annapolitans! Â But if I can redeem myself with this review, I'll definitely give it a try. Â
First of all, the beer list is impressive, and the server was very knowledgable about the different brews, making some great recommendations. Â I started off with the "Tenth Tap", which I understand changes periodically. Â This time, it was as nice light Hefeweizen...yummy! Â I then switched and got the Spaten Optimator Dunkle "DK", which was a darker beer with a nice caramel flavor. Â Absolutely fabulous! Â
Then on to the food....we started with the fried pickles, which were served as spears rather than chips and came with a honey mustard sauce.  I'm normally not a fan of mustard, but this was the perfect complement to the pickles.  For my entree, I selected the  Jagerschnitzel, which had a Jager sauce with mushrooms and came with red cabbage and a side of Spatzle.  I was only able to eat about half of it, but the rest came home with me for lunch the next day.  We decided to pass on dessert this time, but I'll definitely be back to try some of the positively sinful sounding offerings. Â
I understand there was a fire a couple of years ago and they've completely rebuilt, and they've done a fantastic job. Â The decor is amazing, with some beautiful Bavarian light fixtures and lots of dark wood. Â When you add in the live music, complete with accordion, and the biergarten (can't wait to come back when it's a little warmer!), this place is a gem! Â
Yes, it's a little pricey ($140 for 3 of us), but you won't leave hungry or unhappy.
This place is kind of out of the way, but it seems to be the hot spot for the community. Â Lots of great German food options and a great selection of giant beers. Â Not to mention a little lady playing the accordion.
I especially like how there is a little of a Maryland flavor to the German menu. Â I got the Muenster and Crab soup, and it was really good!
I had heard about The Old Stein Inn multiple times from friends who used to visit every weekend. Now I see why. What a cool place. We sat inside at a big rustic table and we could see the the beer garden out of the window. It looked very cool! Partially covered, strings of lights and a dressed up band playing German music.
I ordered a Creamsicle from the specialty drink menu. She bought it out soon, but it looked and tasted just like a vodka/OJ, the cream was definitely missing. I told the waitress this and she said she'd check with the bartender.. she soon came back with a new drink, in a completely different (martini) glass with a completely different appearance. She was apologetic and said it would be on the house. Did she never see what the Creamsicle looked like before? A bit strange but whatever, at least I got the correct drink.
My boyfriend ordered a the sausage and cheese appetizer. I don't even like sausages (or just try not to eat them too often, lol) but they were GREAT. I would highly recommend ordering the sausage.
For my meal I ordered the Steak and Frites. It was DELICIOUS. Veggie sides are usually unappealing to me, as they're usually bland but these were some of the best I've ever eaten. The sauce was to die for. The fries were tasty but I would've ordered double veggies if I had known they were going to be so good. The steak was three small filets all cooked perfectly. No fat, no filler, wonderful meat. Yum. I ate everything on my place and the only complaint would be that I wanted more! The portion of my meal wasn't big but I was very satisfied. Â My boyfriend said his pork, though incredibly tender, was a little dry. Â
During our meal an accordion player and singer stood in the front area of the restaurant and played a couple songs. It wasn't particularly wonderful music but it was entertaining!
I really enjoyed my experience at The Old Stein Inn, mostly because I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I will be back soon when the weather gets a little nicer to sit outside and check out the beer garden! Glad to find that I dig German food!
What if I purchase a Stein from the Stein I get discounted refills on beer...say no more! The food is amazing German fair. What do I come here for? Well to put it simply...meat. The snitzel here is great, the traditional pork is my favorite. Best deep fried pickles...said everyone who has ever been here. The dill breading is what sets those off. When it comes to desserts, I have failed. I have been too full off the meal to ever make it that far. This place is a bit if a drive to find but I assure you it's width it.
Review Source:Great beer selection. Nice menu, but the food was below average for a American German restaurant. Chicken Cordon Bleu was overcooked and slightly burned. Jaeger Schnitzel was tough with not quite enough sauce. Had to pay $4.50 for more sauce. Spatzel was tasteless. Potato salad was more American than German.
Review Source:This wasn't the greatest German food I've ever had, but it was pretty good. Â The beer selection was great and varied. Â Wonderful, fast service... there was a group of 20 or so people ahead of us, and the waitress came back to explain that there would likely be a delay in our food. Â None whatsoever as far as we could tell, and our food came out immediately after the large groups--in a respectable 10-15 min.
Review Source:The only reason this place gets one star deducted is the cost. Â The quality of the food is great but it is "white table cloth expensive" Â when the place, and the food, is really not that fancy. Â If this place was just a little more reasonably priced it would be a regular hang out but as it is, it is too expensive to be more than a once in awhile place.
The food is great, the beer is better, the outside dining area is as good as it gets without being on the water. Â Service is good as well.
It's been a while since I've had German food, and for my military friends, this is good German cuisine. Â When we have a table with21 people, bills were spot on, drinks on time, food came out on time and hot, and the servers never lost their smile - it's a great night! Great beers (and I'm not a beer drinker), crispy and not greasy schnitzel with spaetzle - wonderful. Â Great value and good food!
Review Source:I love this place. Â There is nothing else like it around the DC area, let alone Edgewater. Â It's a true German restaurant with traditional food, a beautiful beer garden, great draught selection and all around nice atmosphere.
First, on the beer...it is the only place I can find Franz Dunkle on draught which is a fantastic beer. Â They have a full draught selection and even more in bottles. Â Every time I'm here, which isn't that often, I talk about spending my next visit in the bier garden for several hours. Â Sitting outside at the long picnic tables, socializing with friends and meeting new ones. Â It is a European atmosphere you can't find many places. Â A beautiful Fall tradition!
The food is authentic. Â On my last visit I tried some of the non-traditional fare which is a cross between local cuisine and German. Â The crab pretzel was incredible and the Muenster Cheese & Crab Suppe was some of the best bisque I've ever had. Â Worth a trip alone for a crock of this. Â When you get into the traditional German food, you won't be disappointed. Â I mean, it isn't going to blow your socks off (it's sausage, potatoes and kraut) but it is all very good.
My favorite dish is the Rinder Rolladen, which you can only get during Oktoberfest. Â I had it as part of a sampler once, and now if it's on the menu, I always order it by itself. Â Delicious!
The sandwiches are good, the salads are great, and the bar snacks can't be beat (try the potato pancakes! Â the best you've ever had).
While it's a great place to go and spend several hours, if you can only stop in for a quick bite and a beer, that'll work also.
Old Stein has been a long favorite but after its reopening, it sometimes seemed just too overwhelmed by the throngs trying to get in. Â Now I can safely say it's as good as I remember. Â Best place for great German food & beer. Â And they still have their cheesy crab soup & seafood Mac & cheese--these are real winners.
Review Source:Always crowded the Old Stein Inn is a country German resturant that sells an americanized version of German food. If you stick with basics you'll do OK - basicaly Brats and Beer. If you branch out into the more prepared foods then standby for overly cooked and overly sweet foods that would have most Germans standing outside with pitchforks demanding it be shut down. One especially irksome dish was their "Schweinshaxe." They prepared it by braising it, which is OK - it's for lazy chefs that won't take the time to do it properly which is to ROAST the pork knuckle, or at least roast the braised pork knuckle to crisp the skin.
Review Source:Love this place when in the mood for good hearty German food. i was not sure what to order, I ordered the Old Stein Sampler and was not disappointed. The  sampler included a kassler rippchen (smoked loin pork chop) , bratwurst, and mini pork schnitzel served with spätzle and red cabbage. All very good and portion was just right as I was not too full. German bier selection is very good with my favorite on tap,Spaten Optimator Dunkle "DK".
Make sure you get reservations for the BierGarten. Nice atmosphere and music.
Don't know what happened since they rebuilt it but, the food is not what it used to be. Â We ordered the sampler plater and jagerschnitzel. . . the bratwurst was great but the schnitzel fell short. . the breading was different and the meat didn't seem tenderized and tasted old and could tell it was frozen before
Review Source:A nice little german place with good food and a great beer selection.
Upon entering, the first thing I noticed was how incredibly loud it was. Â I thought the place was going to be packed and we wouldn't be able to get a seat... fortunately, that wasn't the case. Â The interior dining room was an intimate place, not meant to house a large crowd - and the small crowd it can fit is so confined that it makes hearing anything nearly impossible. Â The ambiance was a little dull - not much effort put into decor. Â The biergarten outside was pretty impressive, but it was closed the night we went so... :(
The food was very well made, authentic german cuisine. Â The fried pickles were PERFECT! Â Entrees were pretty large (as with most places now adays) and tasty, but the dessert was mediocre. Â
Overall, I had a really hard time justifying the 100$ that we spent on dinner for 2...
I've sat outside in the biergarten a couple of times but have never sat inside before because why would I when the weather was beautiful. The biergarten is definitely my favorite part and I cannot wait until it opens back up again after winter is over. This was my first visit back after the fire. The renovations inside are an improvement and I love how it seems brighter and more open.
I always end up at Old Stein Inn to meet friends and for some reason I never think that I like German food. But I do! That fresh warm Pretzel hits my mouth and it is heavenly. Thank goodness I always go with friends or I would be forced to devour the entire pretzel myself. If you've ever bought a pretzel at an Oktoberfest, you always wish it tasted like this pretzel. ah-ma-zing. It's the best pretzel I've ever had. I'm not exaggerating.
Then you have to have to order the Beef Goulash Soup. Sometimes I think restaurants season everything with way too much salt and this is on the salty side but really good. My mom would definitely have to order a cup of hot water to add to this. My friend and I split the bowl and they were kind enough to split it in the kitchen into to small bowls. It was still a lot and thankfully didn't kill me with the salt intake. Order it!
The Bavarian Bauernwurst/smoked pork sausages are definitely better than the Knockwurst/beef sausages. I like how you can mix and match and get two different types of wursts. I like to wash it all down with the Framboise Raspberry Lambic.
Das tut mir leid but I just didn't find the food all that great here. We were a group of seven. Two of us were born and raised in Germany, three of us had lived ten or more years there and two had visited with the past few years. We liked the chicken Schnitzel. Found the Old Stein Sauerbraten too sweet, the Bavarian Bratwurst not good, and the Kassler Rippchen good. We all found the Spätzle and Kartoffelsalat to be bland. The beer garden and the general atmosphere are great and for that reason only will I give it another try.
Review Source:I've been here a number of times and have always found it fantastic. The food is excellent, the portions generous, the vast majority of it is locally sourced and authentic, and the specials tend to be something you can't find anywhere else.
I've gorged my way through the metzger plate, the pretzels, the wursts, the obatzda, the spaetzle, and as much schnitzel as as could fit in my mouth. I've never found a thing to complain about with the food, and the biergarten atmosphere (in good weather) is pretty spot on. It's a genuine treat to sit out there, staring at the sky, watching the clouds roll past at the end of your meal.
Last time I was in, I got my hands on some Venison Carpaccio. I adore all things rare.. steak that passes the Med-Rare mark is a waste of meat in my view. This was superior to any carpaccio I've had. It was meat-sushi. Just a hint of olive oil and basalmic vinegar for the arugala greens, otherwise pure deery goodness. I paired it with a pork-flavored pea soup (hard to describe but excellent) because I wasn't starving, and I focused on the beer.
I'm a beer nerd. I've been brewing for over 8 years and I've done every style and method short of owning a malt factory. I have a deep-seated love of beer. I just wish the Old Stein saw what I saw. All ten taps are solid -- there are oktoberfests in September and there will presumably be marzens in March. But it's all the same stuff. It's all "german domestics", the bud lights and coors of Germany. Nothing adventurous. Nothing really unique. At christmas they had an AMAZING weihnachtsbier (14%, deep gold color, spicy and delightful) but I haven't seen anything out of the norm since then. Their website lists so many great styles of beer, but they don't actually have it on hand. When's the last time you tasted an Altbier? Do you remember what makes it unique? Berlinerweisse? Dortmunder?
I always end up with the same Doppelbock (Spaten's Optimator) because the German pilsners, as a style, lose a lot of character when they've been shipped a few thousand miles. Everything in the place seems to be Ayinger, Franziskaner/Spaten, or Paulaner. Maybe the distributor is calling the shots. Given the pretty wide bottle menu, they have the freedom to make the ten taps more interesting because they have all the cannons covered. Why not play?
Recommendations for broadening the lineup:
- Schneider Hopfen Weisse
- Einbecker Ur-Bock
- Gröninger Pils
- Berliner Kindl Weisse
- Pils Urquell
- Weihenstephan Pilsener
If I called the shots, I'd add in some American micros that conform to German styles like Victory's Prima Pils or Alaskan's Amber Alt.
You can't go wrong here with the food -- better schnitzel likely doesn't exist in Maryland. Now if  only they'd fix the beer menu...
After all the hoopla of the reopening of the Old Stein Inn,(and a new German chef ) we decided yet again, to try this place out. Â
The redesign gives them big marks - nice bar area with booths, and lots of wood. Â (Apparently the bar itself is quite the historic masterpiece being salvaged from Carmine's in NYC). Â Nice touch for sure. I still think they could do some tweaking on the bare walls, though. Â Maybe a tapestry or some Oktoberfest memorabilia. Â
The menu was pretty much the same. Â I had to go for my favorite Austrian/German specialty - the pork schnitzel, spaetzle, and red cabbage. Â A true delight when it is executed properly. Â My companion ordered the "special" sandwich, which was a smaller portion of schnitzel, on a pretzel roll with cheese and some other adornments.
OK so here comes the MAJOR complaint - our order came out minutes after we placed it. Â I was probably on my second sip of wine when our meals miraculously appeared. Â There is no way that they could have prepared the schnitzels that quick, which really surprised me as I think this would be one of the easiest things to cook to order. Â As a result, the pork seemed dry and the coating was not as crisp as it should have been. Â Also of note, the pork was quite thick, almost like a boneless chop rather than a pounded piece of meat. Â More indication that this was cooked ahead of time.
Unfortunately too, the meals suffered from the same pre-fire shortcoming - not enough salt. Â I ordered my pork with a mushroom cream sauce which I had asked to be put on the side. Â Cream, butter and shrooms, how can you go wrong? Â Once again, under seasoned and bland.
The spaetzel were better, lighter and fluffier, but still blah. Â A light toss in bacon grease or brown butter could remedy this. Â The cabbage, though soft, was much more sour than sweet. Â I prefer a better balance.
Companion thought his pretzel roll was completely devoid of flavor. Â It's too bad too, cause a good one can make an ordinary sandwich great. Â The fries had promise, but they were under done, limp and soggy. Â A longer stay in the fry basket would have yielded much better results.
We still enjoyed the evening and the new digs. Â The wandering accordion player added a nice authentic touch with her music and occasional bursts into song.
When we arrived home, I picked up our delivered "Capital"  newspaper and flipped through the entertainment section.  Lo and behold, Terra Walters, our local restaurant critic, just  reviewed, the Old Stein Inn.  I have stopped reading her articles since they make me CRINGE,  but I could not help myself this time.  Imagine this, she had nothing but the highest possible accolades about her experience here.  You would think it was a Michelin starred establishment.  Oh well, at least she was consistent.
been waiting a while to write this. Â It's really nice to see the Old Stein re-open after its fire. The space is really an upgrade! Nicer bar, more tables and I suppose a modern commercial kitchen., and even good accommodating bathrooms! I wish them well!
We stopped by on a recent Sunday evening, since Heidi and Helmut were playing in the biergarten and a friend was celebrating his retirement. Entertainment was, as always, and fully expected --- Â "ziggy zaggy, ziggy zaggy -- oy,oy, oy!" and so on.
Beer selections too, were and still are, simply first rate. Nothing more to say here --"Mein Gott im Himmel" --- it's a German joint! Is is not!!.
We shared a vorspeize of asst. wursts and cheese. Very good wurst! Uninspiring cheeses. The mate and I both ordered Weinerschnitzel, which was frankly, rather disappointing.  The meat was way overdone (leathery) , the crust mealy and soggy, like it had been cooked well ahead of time, kept in a steam tray and then microwaved.  The sides, red cabbage and spaetzle were up to snuff however.  We both agreed that the Weinerschnitzel that we ate at, of all things, a boat show, walk-up  concession stand in Dusseldorf, for a few Euros, was superior.
We have been fans of the OSI for years and have previously enjoyed the schnitzels there.Since we should be at the upcoming Yelp event, I hope our experience was an anomaly. Â I understand that our own, fellow Yelper, Â Jason is the chef. And I don't wish to influence the group on 10/23. But it's my 2 cents. I hope Heidi and Helmut are there and we have fine Oct weather for the biergarten. Â "ziggy zaggy, ziggy zaggy -- oy,oy, oy! Â -- ziggy zaggy, ziggy zaggy -- oy,oy, oy!-- ziggy zaggy, ziggy zaggy -- oy,oy, oy!" Â PROST!!! Â glug, glug glug.
Finally! I think I have found a German restaurant I can truly enjoy. It is a combination of new and old world. I've been through old school restaurants that served great food, but the place always smelled musty and old. It's unfortunate that there was a fire, but what a blessing in disguise. The place is new yet still honoring old world German.
I didn't realize that the Old Stein Inn would be this packed - you would think they were giving something away! We ended up waiting an hour, but we were able to make our way through the beers at the copper topped, dark wood bar. There was something for everyone in our group from Spaten to Bitburger. Yeah for Oktoberfest!
We ended up sitting in the biergarten (highly recommended) where it is open and warmed by space heaters. It is really casual and feels like a true biergarten. Our server was efficient and friendly, bringing us beers, appetizers and more. We started off with the fried dill pickles with mustard. Crunchy pickle and crispy coating won me over. Hooray for the potato pancakes with homemade applesauce. A dozen silver dollar pancakes flecked with dill were paired with a slightly sweet and tart sauce with apple chunks. Very nice touch!
The bratwurst was served with potato salad and sauerkraut. The brats were perfect sausages. The sauerkraut was not what we were expecting (traditional tart and sour), but this was a mellow, carmelized and mustardy sauerkraut. The best was the jaegerschnitzel. A breaded and fried veal cutlet topped with mushrooms and gravy. Heaven in my mouth. The schnitzel was served with buttery spaetzle and red cabbage. These are my 2 favorite German sides and I was not disappointed. Warning: Food portions are hefty, so come hungry.
The beers kept flowing and eventhough we were stuffed like brats, we ordered the Linzer Torte and Sacher Torte. The Linzer was more like a wedge of an almond cookie with raspberry filling. The Sacher Torte was rich, chocolatey and amazing.
They really thought through the details on the interior and the menu. I look forward to returning and trying more of the menu. I may have to make another day trek since it is a bit far out.
Yelp's own Jason H. (<a href="http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=7Iamt_nvYjPCtO2dZaNNeA">http://www.yelp.com/user…</a>) has taken over the Old Stein Inn as Executive Chef, and anyone who loves German food should be thanking their lucky stars and getting their butts down to Edgewater.
The restaurant is in the middle of nowhere. When we were driving there, we figured we must be lost, until voila! Like a beer beacon in the night, there it was, all lit up, with an entirely full parking lot. The place might have been closed for 9 months, but you'd never know it from the crowd that has been there for its reopening.
This place is as authentic as you can get state-side for a biergarden. Bench tables inside and out. The regulars were sitting behind us outside. Several beers on draught, and the waitstaff always has a suggestion for what schnapps to pair with everything. It was like being 16 again.
Now, I'm biased since Jason is a friend and I've had his cooking at home before. But it's not often that someone is a great chef in a personal kitchen and in a large restaurant environment, and he has it down. From the fried pickles to the jagerschnitzel and spatzle, I ate until I couldn't walk. The Goulash? Super awesome. House-made Sauerbrate? Om nom nom. Put it all in my face.
The deserts were brought in from a local bakery, and were very tasty, but I understand that they will be making their own goodies shortly. Of course this means we'll have to go back soon to see how those stack up.
Their grand opening is this weekend and they'll have Oktoberfest goings-on from now till the end of October. Check out their newly re-designed website for their current menu and go make Jason werk for the monay!
Awesome. Â While I live 1 mile to the east, I haven't been this close to Germany in years. Â I showed up at 5:45 and figured it would be a short wait at most. Â No, I had an one hour wait ahead of me and my daughter. Â This didn't seem like a problem since the bar was open and you could go out front with your beer for your wait. Â Did I mention that they have REAL German beer on tap? Â Yes, 9 standards and a random tenth. Â Awesome.
Now, the food. Â The rolladen I ate was on second best to my first wife's mother's food and my first wife was German. Â Everything was awesome. Â I only wished that I had called ahead and got in line for a seat outside in the Biergarten. Â They had a live polka band that my daughter begged me to see when we got done dinner. Â She loved it. Â I loved it. Â We will be back.
Hubby and I have been here twice. The first time was during the winter, we sat at the bar and had a couple beers and appetizers. I was very impressed with the quality of food, and beer selection.
We returned this past weekend to check out the beer garden. The garden was really nice. The location is convenient to Annapolis, so I can see us coming here with some regularity. But if I trekked her from B-more or DC, I might be a little disappointed.
The food is good, and I think prices are fair. But this is definitely more about the beer and big crowds (communal picnic tables) than the food. Expect the average body mass index to be on the high end, with both servers and patrons. This would be a great place to have a birthday party...if you didn't have to drive.
You'll forget you're in southern MD / Edgewater as you pull into the parking lot. Â OK, maybe you'll see some locals and then remember where u are, but once in the door you'll be in Germany, or at least what I think Germany might resemble.
Epic draft beer selection, including the special 10th tap seasonal. Â I think you'll be hard pressed to find some of these beers on draft here in the States.
Great atmosphere, brilliant beer garden, and wonderful, filling, tasty German food. Â My top restaurant in Edgewater and my top German restauran in the universe.
Get all the wursts you can! Â The pretzels are wonderful as well! Â Ugh!
Dinner here is always excellent! Â I have never had anything that is just okay.
The chef (Dirk) is a fine cuisine chef. Â He makes the BEST crabcakes I have ever had!
My friends love the schnitzel. Â We have had schnitzel in Germany that is not as good as Chef Dirk's!
Of course, the beer is amazing! Â I always get the Tenth Tap because I like to try new things.
You have to go for Oktoberfest! Â The biergarten is so much fun! Â
See you there!
I'm not a German food expert, even though I have been to Germany but I know what I like, and I like the Old Stein Inn. Â It's a heck of drive to get there. Â Definitely a destination location as opposed to someplace you may "catch on the way" somewhere. Â
With that said, the Old Stein is appropriately Bavarian in decor and while you may not find yourself transported to the Black Forest... It's close enough. Â The outdoor Bier Garten is charming and thankfully they have replaced the old plastic chairs (a la Safeway) Â with nice sturdy mesh and metal seats which are quite comfortable. Â Of course, you could also choose to sit at one of the long wooden tables and benches if you are of the mind. Â
They have a decent German Beer selection, 9 permanent varieties and a rotating 10th Beer selection of a seasonal nature. Â
For me, though, the food is where it's at. Â We stopped by this past weekend for the Fourth of July and truly enjoyed ourselves.
I had the Weisswurst ( a personal favorite) and the Bauerenwurst. Â Excellent quality sausages cooked perfectly and accompanied with a tangy German potato salad and sauerkraut. Â The kraut was laden with bacon, which I do love, but if I had a complaint for the meal, it was a bit greasy. Â
Others had the Weinerschnitzel and the Chicken Cordon Blue. Â It was not busy so when one of my dining companions asked if the Weinerschnitzel could be prepared with a fried egg, our server graciously complied. Â If you want to know, it's called A La Holstein, to have it that way. Â The schnitzel was top notch. Â Crisp exterior, tender veal with anchovies and lemon. Â The chicken Cordon Blue was equally delicious and came with red cabbage and oodles of buttery spaetzle, which I thought was delicious but others percieved as bland. Â
The place is a bit pricey, but the quality of the food is certainly there. Â Service was exemplary. Â I can't say enough good things about our waiter. Â He was pleasant, knowledgeable and efficient. Â
One last note, if you go... do yourself a favor and order the Apple Cheesecake pie for dessert. Â You'll thank me later.
Cozy German Biergarten... a bit of a trek from DC but well worth it.
We drank and dined outside, beneath the white lanterns, twinkle lights, and grape vines, on a most mild summer's dusk. Our conversation was not stifled by the German accordion player, instead it provided a nice upbeat accompaniment.
As a vegetarian I knew options would be limited..but still I was very pleased with the Vegetable Spaetzel. Â Everyone else seemed to really like their schitzel and wurst...so much I think we all developed stomach aches from overindulging. And anyway, German food is pretty heavy. There was also a great selection of German beers...I particularly enjoyed the Kirsch. Light...crisp...perfect for the Summer months.
Prosit!
