The Bavarian Haus

The greeting and service were attentive and friendly. But the food was just mediocre. And the atmosphere was less than friendly even before coming inside (see photos). I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the place was entirely empty when I came in (and there was still only one other customer there when I left). I didn’t hate it, but I can’t recommend it either.

Everyone was nice. The white bratwurst and spaetzle was very good. The red cabbage and Hunterschnitzel were pretty good. I have never had cold German potato salad before but it was OK. The Pretzel was very hard.

This is a well worn restaurant. It is like a pair of comfortable old sneakers! We eat there every time we visit Mt. Dora. If you like authentic German food this is you place. Today we had Bratwurst with hot German potato salad and pork with dark gravy, sauerkraut and spaeztle! Delicious. It is off the main drag and generally quiet. Give it a try.

We had a fabulous German dinner that rivaled my German mother’s cooking! My brother lives out of state and can’t wait to come back. He had the Wiener Schnitzel and my sister-in-law and I had the Sauerbraten. The portions were generous and were freshly prepared. With a little updating inside, this could be the German hot spot! The chef Sarah was trained by the Bavarian owner and she has nailed Bavarian cuisine! The server La was excellent! We were too full for dessert but took a piece of Black Forest torte home and wished we had purchased 3! It is exquisite. As a Bavarian born and American raised foodie, I highly recon this restaurant!

Food is great. Better than hollerbach over at Sanford. Everything was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Some issues I had was the space was small, food to a long time to come out, and there's a share plate charge. What that means is that if you have people who are not really eating but just snacking off of your plate then they will charge you 10 per person for them to be there. I'm told it's on the menu but I think it would be great if the server mentioned it was well. Would've just bought food for them as good as the food was.
