My husband usually gets wiener schnitzel with red cabbage and potato pancake, which is his favorite, and one of their German specialties. It's always good. Salmon was also tasty. Waitress was able to give extra vegetables instead of a starch, change the lettuce to all romaine. Salad dressing came on the side as requested. Service was very good-waitress pleasant, busboy filling up water timely and bread basket containing garlic bread and asst'd rolls were very tempting.
