    I was really excited to eat here but was sad about most of the food. The bread basket (which you have to pay for and was ok with) was 2 sad cold rolls and some basic white bread slices. My food was not hot. My meat was unacceptable to eat after I tasted but they did comp my drink to make up for that. The whipped potatoes and Blaukraut were delicious and so was the sauerkraut. The Spätzle was clumpy and not very tasty. Maybe I’m just used to my Oma’s cooking

    Edelweiss is the best German restaurant in the Chicagoland area. It’s authentic with an outstanding staff who serve you with kindness and professionalism. The food is the star. I had the roasted duck with orange sauce and it was superb. With spaetzel and red cabbage to round it out, it was magnificent.

    We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. However, while the majority of our party used a car service to get to the restaurant, one member drive themself and were unable to find a parking spot any where near the restaurant and actually ended up just driving home. Better parking options would be great.

    Made a reservation, however it wasn’t necessary as we arrived early and got seated without a problem. Ordered the pretzel as an appetizer and it was delicious. The service and our lunch meal was fantastic highly recommend
