I love everything about this restaurant. It has a very unique atmosphere, just like you were in Germany. I ordered the Sauerbraten: Sliced marinated beef brisket topped with a rich sour cream gravy. Includes red cabbage. The food is uniquely delicious. A must try experience.

What a fun dining experience! Be sure to order a full liter of bier as it is very much a part of the experience in visiting East Side. The appetizers are spot on and the meals are German with a hint of America thrown in - you can find something to make your picky eaters happy. You can also enjoy a taste of Bavaria.

This restaurant is so authentic You would think you are in Germany! From the theming, to the extremely elaborate German menu, the accordion player playing German music, The lederhosen the men are wearing and the dresses the women are wearing. The owner and staff are so nice, everybody greeted me with a smile and a hello sir. It took me 20 minutes to decide what I wanted to order as there was so many amazing choices that I had growing up. The moment I sat down they brought a nice German salad a
