Charming old world atmosphere with small table lamps. The service was good, accurate, excellent with changing out plates and cutlery between courses. A tad tentative when interacting with the customers, but they're still new.
Absolutely mo complaints about the food. The starter bread was great. The soup of the day was a garlic soup - creamy garlicky flavor with chili oil swirl, and pretzel bits for crunch. I'd never had something like this. It was fabulous, silky smooth.
The entrées were all good. We had Kraut Rouladen, Jager Schnitzel and a pork classic Wienerschnitzel. Spätzle was served as a side. Super good. Meats were all tender and flavorful. Tiny suggestion (that I informed the owner about) - because the serving plates are thin, the temperature of the thin schnitzels cooled down a little too fast. So maybe heating the plates ahead of serving would be a good idea, to help keep the meats warm.
We finished with the Salzburger Nockerl - wow! Light and puffy soufflé with ice cream and blueberries.
One of our group is German heritage and she said the food was better than some she'd had back in Austria. High praise!
Excellent addition to the downtown Pleasanton...

The manger and owner came by to make sure everything was ok. It was a great meal and beautiful environment. The drink menu was extensive and delicious. I would recommend the Barrel aged old fashion. The apple strudel was Devine. We will definitely...
Read moreWe loved our whole dinner, from drinks to our meal everything was great. Both managers working were friendly and checked in, and even after assuring them I wasn’t bothered with the sun being on me in my seat they did everything they could to block it for the short time before it went down. I wished I ordered a salad because I saw one go by and it looked great. The decor is fun and the staff went above and beyond I could tell they were still getting used to a busy service, but have no doubt they will be operating very...
