After a dinner at Grunauer, you'll want to climb the Austrian Alps singing, just like Fraulein Maria in The Sound of Music.We gathered at the Austrian/German restaurant for our October outing, and I'm so glad we did. The food, service and setting were all terrific.
I enjoyed the Schwammerl (m). It was unlike anything I've ever had and very tasty. And since our dinner club shares everything we order, I got to try everyone elses' entrees: the sauerkraut was the best I've ever tasted (and I've been eating it since birth); the red cabbage was incredible (slightly cinnamon apply but still savory); the rye bread to start was delicious, as were the sausages. I would like to comment on the German beer but sadly I couldn't try any.
The restaurant is in an old rail/freight building with lots of dark wood and mirrors. It's classier than a German beer hall, with low light and 40s-style music that makes it a perfect setting for a romantic dinner (hint, hint, husband).
My only regret (aside from a beer-free meal) was not trying the dessert, which was impossible after such a large meal. A trip back for a cup of coffee and a strudel or two is a must.
My ranking for this restaurant: 4.9 out of 5 stars. Pretty darn impressive. So Danke schön, Grunauer. Just like Austrian Arnold Schwarzenegger would say, "I'll be back."
