Found this place by accident and were very glad we did. Lunch prices were very reasonable and food was very good. Service was a little slow but very friendly and polite.

Actually stumbled on this place. We both love German food and this place was up to any expectations we have for German. I ordered Wiener schnitzel and it was crisp and good. The Spatzle had a brown gravy on it which was good & different. I've only ever had it with butter. The sauerkraut was way better than authentic German... More

This restaurant was wonderful. They had excellent German food and beer, that was reasonably priced. The service was excellent. There was a wait for a table, so we waited in the lounge and actually ate there instead while watching the basketball game.

hHad really looked forward to dining at this "German" restaurant for quite a while....had heard good reports. Suppose to have the best Rueben in the Blue Ridge Mountains/Asheville, North Carolina area. I think a Rueben should come on old fashioned rye bread..preferably seeded and Jewish if available....NOT marble rye which reminds of regular loaf bread. Not too much meat...don't know... More

This is the best! Our special night go-to! We're planning a trip to Germany this summer, and went to get some beer tips. Our waiter spent a lot of time with us describing the German beers and making suggestions. German entrees are authentic and ginormous! Italian dishes are exquisite. Can't say enough about the restaurant.

This place is under the radar. Try the filet mignon. UNREAL! Melts in your mouth. The german food is also very good. The wait staff was very nice and attentive.

Had dinner here with the Family. It is a nice restaurant with German and Italian Cuisine, as well as other fare. Prices are good and the portions enormous. For the vino and beer drinkers, plenty of choices there too.

Although its address is Arden, this restaurant feels like it is on the far South side of Asheville, NC. It has seven dining rooms, including an elevated outdoor patio in front. It is quiet, with plenty of space, and the windows look out on mature trees. There is a very comprehensive wine and beer list. Draft beer comes in three... More
