Das Bierhauz — Restaurant in Mountain View

I am giving this three stars because I think it was not well thought out for a group of 34 persons, mainly seniors who aren't that mobile. Our group was seated outside on a wood chip ground which made it difficult for wheelchairs and cane users. Besides that, we were given wood benches to sit on which made it even harder to get into your seat - four to a wooden bench sharing one table with another bench of four persons. We had to be careful when getting into and out of our seats because the benches would tip as well as the tables tipping onto you. You can imagine - bunched up seniors trying not to tip over and holding onto our plates/cups when one person moves. There really wasn't room except to sit because they stored all the outdoor heating lamps and extra chairs in that area. I have no idea what their logic was because there were ample outdoor seating on the concrete floor with tables that had induvial chairs with arms. It would have been the same size as to where we were sitting. It was Sunday and the restaurant wasn't crowed.

If it wasn't for the food, it would probable be one star. The chicken schnitzel and spaetzle were excellent. Portions were ample; schnitzel crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; accompanied by fresh cranberries; speaetzle could have used more seasoning; mushroom gravy added more flavor and the squeezed lemon slices from the ice tea gave the meal a zest. Yummy delicious.

Burger and fries were disappointing. the burger was just the patty and bun - no lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, etc. It was rather dry.

Beef bratwurst, fries and sauerkraut - I would like to have the fries a little browner and crisper. Bratwurst and sauerkraut were okay.

Pretzels and Cheese Appetizer - pretzels were not the best and the cheese looked like it was store bought. The pretzel tasted better with a combo of the mustard and cheese.

The Greek pastries looked appealing and inviting. I could not decide on what to get, so I got one of each. The savory ones I never had before so I cannot compare. Would I purchase it again - no. It was not to my liking. The sweet ones I was familiar with. It could have been much crispier. I prefer the walnut over the pistachio. The walnut had more flavor. It was not soggy so that's a sign that it wasn't sitting that long. I was told they make their own Greek pastries, that's why I bought one each. I am a fan of baklava.

If I am in that area again, I definitely would return for the chicken schnitzel...

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a delightful culinary journey at this charming German style restaurant/bar. The moment I stepped in, the live vibe and warm hospitality enveloped me, creating an inviting atmosphere. The friendly staff made me feel right at home.

Now, let's talk about the desserts! First, the slice of carrot cake was an absolute delight. Moist and flavorful, every bite was a perfect balance of sweetness and the distinct taste of carrots. The cream cheese frosting added a creamy, tangy element that complemented the cake beautifully. It was truly a slice of heaven.

Next up was the pistachio baklava, and oh boy, it was a revelation. The layers of flaky phyllo dough, generously filled with a delectable pistachio mixture, created a symphony of textures and flavors. The richness of the pistachios combined with the sweetness of the honey syrup was a match made in dessert heaven.

Last but not least, the slice of Tres Leche cake was a divine treat. Moist, decadent, and soaked in a luscious blend of three milks, each forkful melted in my mouth. The cake had a delicate sponginess that absorbed the creamy goodness, making it an absolute pleasure to savor.

Overall, my experience at this restaurant was exceptional. The live vibe and warm hospitality enhanced the enjoyment of these delightful desserts. I would highly recommend trying the carrot cake, pistachio baklava, and Tres Leche cake for an unforgettable...
