    Always a nice atmosphere, and good food. Sat next to a table of people that thought everyone should hear their conversation. Other than that, I always enjoy our meal, and our group had a very nice dinner ranging from octopus to catfish, and Brussel sprouts to beet salad.

    We had a lovely evening at Grünauer with our German exchange daughter. She was pleasantly pleased that the food was authentically German instead of German-American food. And what made it more delightful was our waitress who spoke German (to those who could understand it) and English (to those of us who could not understand German)! The ambiance was perfect, celebrating a wonderful year together. The taste of the food was spectacular!
