"One of the last handful of the original restaurants of Southampton's still thriving and operating in this town! And so happy it is! No clue what these negative nelly reviewers have to complain about. The food is solid and stick to your ribs good, the portions to price ratio is also very balanced plus the waitresses have been there 30-40 years and know their loyal based customer's usual orders over the phone just by hearing their voice. There are old pictures of what therestaurant looked like back in the early days and other fine memorabilia on the walls too. Menu is part German and part Americana but I'm not mad at that at all. Ordered the escargot stuffed into white mushroom caps with delicious generousdollops of toasted minced garlic and butter. The Bavarian combo platter was not too salty at the least bit, the wienerschnitzel a la Holstein came perfectly topped with a fried egg, lovely plump pan seared filets of anchovies and freshcapers. The mashed potatoes was super buttery, the creamed spinach was divine and the saukraut had just the right amount of vinegar fermented kick to keep you coming back for another bite. Loved their lentil and bean soup of the day and I'musually not a fan of blue cheese dressing at a restaurant but this one was worth licking the plate clean for. Wish I had more space for dessert but that just means we come back for about visit very soon!"

"My friend and I stopped by here on a Sunday night around 6:30 PM. The restaurant was fairly empty and we were allowed to choose where we wanted to sit. We decided to sit outside in the outdoor bar area. Service was attentive and efficient though it did lag a bit in the beginning because sometimes the server would come to help us with our order and sometimes the bartender would. However, after that everything else went smoothly. For dinner we ordered: FRENCH ONION SOUP: A nice soup with a good crust on the heavily cheesed top. The bread underneath possessed a nice fragrance and texture as well. The French onion soup's flavor was slightly too sweet side and a bit too watery but was still good. BEET SALAD: An interesting combination of goat cheese, beets, almonds, vinaigrette on top of a bed of lettuce but it worked. L'ESCARGOT: The snails were cooked perfectly and were drowning in butter. I wish it came with more than just one small dinner roll though since there was so much left over butter after eating the snails. MEDITERRANEAN SEAFOOD PASTA: Pasta flavor was great and went well with the seafood selection. Noodles were a bit too soft though and could have definitely been more Al dente. I was disappointed in the mussels, they were not cleaned well lots of sand still in it. JAMBALAYA: Flavor was great. A huge assortment of sausage, chicken and seafood. The dish was a bit too oily but still enjoyed it. However, again, the mussels were not cleaned well and had a lot of sand still in it. CREPES: Crepes were yummy. The crepes are absolutely stuffed with delicious vanilla ice cream and the berries and chocolate sauce really tie well together. All in all, though I enjoyed my hefty meal there are definitely points in most dishes that were not perfect. They also enjoy adding parsley to every dish which felt a bit unnecessary. Haha. However, if I am in the area again I would be interested in eating here again and trying out their other items!"
