                                            I appreciated that I could order schnitzel Gluten free - no breading - but it was a little dry. Presentation was lovely but place could use some updating.

                                            The Wiener Schnitzel was excellently prepared. It was flavorful and not dry. Best I’ve eaten in the US.
