JJ the person who takes orders and periodically checks in for any needs is one of the best assets of this establishment. My friend absolutely loved the Valentine’s Day experience that I hoped would have been the result when selecting this restaurant. I am not exactly carnivorous and would have preferred that I ordered what I did minus the meat however that is my issue as I was not feeling meat at the moment however my friend ordered the same and was happy to take mine home( minus the veggies and mashed potatoes which were perfectly cooked. Highly recommended and sit at a table where you will meet JJ. He made everything better than it would have been otherwise.

It is a delight to have an authentic German bistro here in San Carlos. The experience transported me back to Stuttgart with its friendly welcome, warm pretzels, savory schnitzel, frankfurters, and of course, the beer and wine. We will undoubtedly return with friends and family to enjoy another special trip to Germany on Laurel Street.

The beer selection was pretty good, service good, the food was ok but had better German food and a bit over priced compared to other German places we go. Very nice and friendly staff.
