Definitely a 'date night' experience. Private parking lot is on a hill and a staircase leads up to the entrance. An exterior elevator is to the right of the staircase for wheelchair users. The restaurant has a number of dining rooms each with it's own charm. Restrooms are clean and updated, with a diaper station. Pleasant staff. Very nice ambiance with soft jazz in the background. We started with a mixed salad from their specials menu to share. A small portion each of potato salad, beet salad and cucumber salad with mixed greens and cherry tomato. I did inform our waiter I have a pork allergy and potato salad has pork in it but that salad was not seperated from the others. Out of an abundance of caution (because I get *really* sick!) I ate one beet from the top, three cucumber slices and lettuce. The pickled cucumber is tangy, the pickled beet very nicely done-firm with a bit of a vinegar bite, not over done. The dressing on the lettuce is a bit sweet, complimenting the vinegar in the other elements. I selected an elk entree from the specials menu. Just a bit of gaminess, the meat was cooked well. The cream mushroom sauce has nice size mushroom slices and countered the dryer texture of elk very well. The red cabbage side has a little bit of sweetness to it and the portion size was good. Our meal lasted about two hours from start to finish. There is one small dining room with one large table making for a more private dining experience. This space was occupied by a family group. Side note: on this warm summer evening it was quite cool inside. So cool, I went back to my car for a sweater. We made reservations through their website.

This was, sadly, not a good meal and based on expectations easily one of the most disappointing experiences I've had in recent memory. I came here yesterday with my top-tier chum from the Kingdom of Sussex, along with my #1 Honorary Young Pup Chum, fresh off a 20-mile walk down the Sussex Branch Rail Trail - so a bit tired and very hungry. Black Forest got me (and my appetite) in the best situation for them, in theory. Unfortunately it stayed just a theory. The atmosphere in here by far is the biggest selling point. I love a good taxidermy situation, and this place had it in droves. We were seated near a bear, and had eyes on numerous other wildlife, preserved for eternity. The stained glass throughout the restaurant is also pretty wild - it feels like you decided to go to church in a European hunting lodge. It's also deceptively large in there, which I discovered later as I tried to locate the bathroom (there is no signage for that) and wandered into two or three different dining rooms. Just wild and really does set this place apart from virtually any other restaurant in the area (maybe the far superior Walpack Inn can lay a claim?). I was intrigued by the Potato Pancakes w/ Applesauce on the appetizer menu, which ended up being the best item I ate. As you can see in the attached photo, they're basically big hash browns. They were good, and the applesauce made for an interesting palate combo. In what ended up being a bizarre theme throughout the meal, the accompanying applesauce came in a small plastic container that you had to open. This to me is one of the more egregious self-inflicted wounds I've seen from a restaurant, but also pretty fixable. This wasn't a crab shack at the beach or a taqueria in Newton - this is a restaurant with white tablecloths. Why aren't you serving the accompanying sides in a nicer dish, like a ramekin? What makes it more mystifying is that they HAD ramekins or something similar - they served the wrapped butter for the stale dinner rolls in it. I genuinely don't have a clue what the thought process was, but it honestly cheapened the optics and is something they should stop doing immediately. For my entree, I went classic German with the veal wienerschnitzel and a side of spatzle. The wienerschnitzel itself was fine - I've honestly had better from a food truck in Jersey City called Mordi's (I just checked and sadly they've closed), but it had no sauce or anything so it was super dry and overall not that tasty as a result. It would have even been an upgrade to get one of their infamous plastic containers of basically any condiment. The spatzle was honestly terrible; I had an excellent version of this at an Austrian restaurant in FiDI called Schilling (which has now converted to a French restaurant, apparently; I can't with these closures. Lord.), and this was just utterly tasteless. My chum likened it to "brain noodles," meaning the noodles you'd use in a blindfold game around Halloween. Fair, but even some of those probably had some flavor to them. Huge miss. I'm not sure why I kept going at this point but I decided to end this situation with the Black Forest Cake. It was a little stale (maybe it's kept in the same area as the dinner rolls?), but it was okay. Could have been worse, so I'm taking that as a victory of sorts. The chocolate mousse within it got positive remarks from my other dining companions in the context of their items, so that's probably the play if you're hitting up the dessert menu. The service was mediocre. Our waitress was very nice when she came to our table, which was infrequent. It seemed like she was waiting for food to come out (which took a while) as the context for a visit, rather than taking initiative to check on us. The Young Pup Chum waited close to 15 minutes for a second soda, which shouldn't have happened, especially given that we were there at a VERY slow time (just before 4pm). And the price point was honestly close to insulting. Neither of us are opposed to plunking down some Jacksons for a nice meal, but getting a bill for $200 (plus tip!) for not great food was not a fun feeling to close out our afternoon. I hate to end this on a dark note, but given that my two recommendations for German food in the area have both closed, you might not have much of a choice but to come here if you're hankering for schnitzel.

The appetizer for two included fried mozzarella sticks, mushrooms, zucchini, and chicken tenders. Overall the fried vegetables and chicken were pretty oily, especially the zucchini which were basically oil filled pockets. However, the dish was filling and the oily-ness not unexpected considering the appetizer is fried. The mozzarella sticks had a different type of coating on it which made it more bland and oily than the rest of the appetizer, unfortunately. The pickup experience was quick and easy. Overall, I would order again due to the restaurant's convenience, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way.
