We started off with appetizers- which are really great for sharing- perogies for the Hubby and I had the liver dumpling soup- both were fantastic. Hubby had the German mixed salad with his meal, the special was sausage with both chicken and pork Schnitzel and potatoes, I had the sauerbraten with potatoes and we both had a side of the sauerkraut. We took a To-Go of the stuffed chicken breast with mozzarella and spinach and soup, with broccoli and an order of perogies. 2 Root beers, and he had the apple strudel and I ordered the Bienenstich. Our server was Karen- I want to give a huge thank you to her, she was an absolute delight, sweet, friendly and made sure our dinner was perfect, she is wonderful and next time we come for dinner, we hope she is our waitress. Food was incredible, I have not had "family" style German food in probably 13 years if not longer- I used to eat all the time at Alpine Village in Torrance Ca and at Phoenix Club in Brea Ca- both I was a long time foodie at, and never had a bad meal! It is so great to know that Sebastian's is our new place for delicious German food. Dinner for the 3 was roughly $180.00, but before you say "that's a lot", the food is delicious, the wait staff is amazing and both my husband and I gladly pay good money for fantastic food, like what we had here at Sebastian's.

Prices are fair, staff were hard working and efficient. Fried foods were not greasy, all tasty. They have the range of German beer on tap that one would hope for in any restaurant attempting to be authentic. It's nice to have the option of this cuisine - and Prost checks the box whether you want the food or just the beer hall experience.

She was on top of things, changed beer when it was close to the bottom and made money for the place. The lady on the evening shift decided to get her tips by getting half-naked and flirting with boys, which i would not mind if she would work and not only talk. My husband and I had zero attention for a solid 20 minutes. So, besides changing the music to some mumbling rap/r&b, she was a horrible bartender. I hope to come back for better service and classic rock music. Koodos to the food truck! He is fantastic and serves excellent bar food!

There's also an extensive menu so there's lots to try when I come back. We had the potato pancakes, the bratwurst sampler and my husband had a Porkchop dish with spatzle. Everything was delicious and the interior was very comfortable, with an indoor space as well as an enclosed garden and outdoor area/biergarten. We will definitely be back!

Continued wrong food at take out is one thing, but changing hours constantly without changing your website is just rude, and inconviences potential customers.

The food quality and serving size has continued to go down, while the prices go up. Do not patronize Village Lanterne, they really don't care.
