Was craving a warm, comforting German Pub style meal on this cold November Sunday and Dutch Garden delivered on all of my expectations! Delicious house made bratwurst sausage with German potato salad and sauerkraut, hit the spot!! Generous portions, so much so that I brought honey leftovers! My partner had their schnitzel…thin cut pork cuts, battered and fried to buttery perfection! Highly recommend if you’re ever in the area! I know I’ll be back to try the giant pretzel 🥨 with beer cheese!! 🤤

Came here with some friends for Fathers Day. My friend is from Austria and he said the schnitzel and käsekrainer are as authentic as you can get! It was lovely to sit outside. Serviced was good, even on a busy Sunday. Would recommend coming here!

Food is absolutely on point. Have to order the potato dumplings, Weiner schnitzel, and pretzel. Chefs kiss. Mom and pop shop so don’t expect it to come fast, but the staff make up for it with the homestyle customer experience. The view of the mountains from the patio at sunset was enjoyed by all. A special gem

Tonight was our first time at Dutch Garden. We had tasted their food at a community event and figured we ought to go in for the whole shabang. From the cute hofbrau-esque, alpine inspired interior to the homey, European style tables, and crudite, it was a fabulous treat that transported us. Great beer (in a very cute glass) wonderful homemade bratwurst and a GIANT pretzel. More than any of the food, the staff was so wonderful and attentive. They even gave us a treat to take home. We will definitely be back. I can’t say enough good things about the whole experience!

★★★★★ 5.0 Drew Cuddy · Feb 2025

Honestly one of the best restaurants in the central coast. Certainly the best authentic German cuisine anywhere I’ve tried, including a lot of restaurants in Germany! Everything here is honest, intentional, classic, and perfectly executed. And it’s so friendly and casual. Cannot beat The Dutch.
