Patrick Walker
A nice, updated take on the typical schnitzel and sausage fare you typically find in German restaurants. The brat trio was delicately flavored and nicely sauced. Preferable to the seafood risotto dish, which was competently executed, but nothing beyond what you’d find in another good local restaurant. The Painted Table dessert was remarkable in sweet flavors and in flame-illuminated presentation. Truly unique.

The service was excellent and the staff was really awesome and attentive. We thought the tasting menu itself was pretty average for the price. Everything tasted fresh but kind of lackluster, especially the apps and dessert and the Black Forest cake didn’t really have the layer of cherries like it’s supposed to. Still happy to try the place out with my hubby for my birthday dinner. We spent around $150 and left very full and satisfied.

I would give this restaurant 100 stars. The food is excellent. The Jager Schnitzel was crispy and the meat was tender. The duck breast was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the morels and white asparagus. On top of truly wonderful cuisine, the service was outstanding.

The restaurant is quaint with an edge. Service was stellar from the moment we walked and the food exceeded expectations. I’m gluten free due to allergy and there’s plenty of choices. The menu is filled with interesting and delicious options. The cocktails were amazing as well. #Affare is worth checking out.

The place was amazing. Nothing overly goddy, the decoration, but still sets the mood for a German-style restaurant I would say the food would be traditional German fair done, fine dining with a tinge of American flavor. our server was friendly and very knowledgeable about the wines.

The tartar was very yummy though a bit too salty. The veal schnitzel was dry, overdone, and a bit bland and the condiments and cucumber salad too sour. The beef roulade was like fancy meat loaf and tasted okay. The cabbage was delicious, but, again, a bit on the sour side considering it took up the majority of the plate. The drinks, vibe, and service were fantastic. I would have rated this a 4/5 but one of our party had stomach issues after eating the beef roulade and cabbage. I may give this place another try, but probably not for a while.

We walked in for a late dinner and were able to find a seat at the bar, but reservations are recommended, as there is limited seating in the dining room. The dining room is dimly lit with plenty of space between tables to create an intimate atmosphere. For those looking for a drink, there is an impressive selection of beer, wine, and spirits. If you arrive hungry, I recommend ordering an appetizer or salad, as the entrees can take time to come out of the kitchen. The food is excellent, and if you are in the mood for a special experience, ordering a wine pairing or dessert will add an exclamation point to your evening.

I’ve been to many restaurants in the Kansas City area, but this is the first restaurant to ever warrant me taking my time to write a review. The atmosphere is beautiful from the elegant decor including paintings to the well-adorned bar. The service is top-tier. Chase was our waiter and had more knowledge about the menu and source of the food than anywhere I’ve been. It is clear the place takes great care in choosing the source of their ingredients down to the last detail. This perfectionism is definitely worth it as the food is nothing short of art. Both times I have went have been some of my favorite meals of all time.

So many flavors in the venison dish! And there appears to be no upper limit on the size of the beer steins. Can’t go wrong.
