Why the sour reviews? They all reflect some kind of ambivalent emotional response- vindictive even…read more We have been coming here since they opened, and frequented his prior establishment at the Silk Mill. Nowt a bad experience. The menu is appropriate to the wine. This is a Wine Bar- that is the focus. Jason, the proprietor knows his trade very well, and is not bashful to discuss it, his passion for it, and his history in said trade. Said passion runs thoroughly deep, and his wealth of knowledge may even supersede this. The monthly Wine Dinners showcase his unending search for lesser known, and often hard to find wines within the contiguous United States- Jason being an ex-pat Aussie. I've come to expect a bit of a story and charade with each dinner- and experience. I like that the sampled wines are all generally for sale. The food is usually paired very well, and executed as such. There do seem to be a regularly rotating staff, but that's irrelevant to the experiences. It's his show. Sometimes the portions can be a bit too large at the dinners, and that says a lot for the price- very fair. As for the restaurant proper, the portions are fine. His curated charcuterie board is spectacular, and local. The Bavarian aspect is appreciated quite well. I miss Zum Stammtisch in NY- now, that does not mean this is a German Restaurant, but there are enough influences and pop-up fare that ist es wunderbar! His schnitzels are always thin as paper, crispy as seashells, and delightfully tasty. We always have the German Fare when it's available, as it so often it. For a state populated by/with so many Germans, this is THE ONLY good true German food around. The overall decor is a bit dim (lighting) and old world European- this is not negative- I prefer this to modern settings. There is a 'secret' Narnia room which is reserved for parties of 12 or more. I quite like the concept- though have not used it- had the tour. Again, the wine list is incredibly extensive, and you can always find what you want. Ask. Then, visit the curated wine shop next door! Truly one of a kind. That's another review. Book the specialty dinners weeks in advance as they generally sell out, but pop on a standard night, as there are usually a few tables open. Sit at the bar and chat with the staff about the wines- it's an adventure.

Very quaint spot located in Easton. We stopped in on a Sunday evening about an hour before closing,…read moreand the restaurant was fairly quiet. Camille, our server, was excellent. While the food wasn't personally my favorite, a few dishes stood out--especially the Roman-style grilled artichoke, which had the perfect crispness, along with the lobster ravioli and the German apple cake, which was nicely balanced and not overly sweet. The flavors overall leaned earthy, which may just not be my personal preference, as my parents love this place and are regulars. I would definitely come back for wine and appetizers. The restaurant offers authentic German cuisine and is truly unique, with nothing else quite like it in the Lehigh Valley.

I would go here for a casual dinner or lunch... or a night out pregame/pre dinner to going out. Tried the apps: calamari, Sundried Tomato Tartare, & Croquettes. Calamari was average 6/10... nothing super unique; Croquettes were at 4/10 (I do not recommended these very bland); Sundried Tomato Tartare 10/10... best thing we ate all night... this Tartare is a MUST TRY! The Pizza: The Bushwick without Speck... 7/10... I would order this again... super simple and cheese pizza with jalpeño & hot honey. The crust was just perfect not overdone or burnt! I would want to try other pizzas as well. I will definitely be recommending this to friends & family to try... and I will be back again!

The fun part is that they are also a tap room with some beers on tap that are pretty rare and hard to come by. You can belly-up to the bar, or sit at one of the dozen or so cafe tables. You'll also find a couple of sleepy St. Bernards lying next to your table, or under the baby grand in the center of the room. There's occasionally some live music, and they schedule beer brewing classes every so often. I live just across the bridge in PA, where the laws and taxes relating to beer are utterly ridiculous, so I am always happy to wander over the bridge for some beersanity. Even on blustery nights.

From a service perspective, they made everyone in the building feel special & comfortable. The food: filling but somehow leaves you wanting more. Easy, fun, trendy, and delicious.

This spot is a must.

Even so, my girlfriend and I were able to find dishes we enjoyed. Overall, the service is great. However, the timing with dishes can be a bit too far apart. The food is really solid. If you love entrees on the sweet side, it is ideal, but dishes with less sugar would be welcomed. Their Brussel sprouts are amazing as is their stellar baked brie. (The latter is sweet but the balance is spot-on.) My girlfriend loved her thick and tender pork chop. I tried it as well and it was fantastic. I recommend their melt-in-your-mouth braised ribs and their chocolate peanut butter pie is so outrageous, it should be illegal. We are surprised this restaurant is not packed but this may be due to the service since they are usually understaffed.

They specialize in wood-fired pizza we but decided to order entrees instead. A waiter brought water right after we were seated and then ordered drinks. A waitress came with our drinks and took our food order. She was very nice. We both ordered the Baby Greens salad and Filet Mignons. The salads were very fresh and had candied walnuts, blueberries and mandarin oranges in them. These were really delicious. The Filets came with potato gratin and vegetable sides. The steaks were cooked perfectly, juicy and flavorful. I also enjoyed the potato side, but not so much the vegetables. Overall the food was fantastic and the service just as good. I will definitely be coming back.
