    Delightful experience for brunch! Delicious French toast and I loved the hibiscus and coffee syrups. Service was great. Will come back to try dinner next.

    Our first and only brunch was at The Slide Inn. It's a German spot run by a husband and wife combo. They have an extensive list of dishes that can be made gluten free. We dropped in on a surprisingly slow Saturday (around 12:30pm). There was only one other table that was dining in. The inside is funky with a fireplace (right at the front), an electic range of clock decor and a plethora of Keane paintings adorning the walls. Service was excellent and friendly. The breakfast menu consists of eggs, pfannkuchen and mehr, waffles, house made smoked sausages, burgers and pastas. Dishes are $10.00 USD to $18.00 USD. - Sausage scramble-house made turkey sausage, sautéed peppers with potato rosti and toast ($14.00 USD) - opted for the pumpernickel, which was nicely toasted, yet still soft. Everything on the dish was tasty. Turkey sausage was delicious and the potato rosti silky. Eggs were nicely done and had a good amount of red peppers mixed in. - Apfelschmarrn ($14.00 USD) - Austrian pancake (cut into small pieces) oven baked with an apple cinnamon compote. Smelled like apple pie. Warm, comforting and not too sweet. Cozy, comfort food at TSI.

    Gluten free schnitzel

    Gluten free mains, desserts and drinks??!! Yes, please! The owner served us and he was so kind and warm and informative. He even brought out the gluten free bread he baked himself that he uses on the schnitzel. I got the gluten free schnitzel and my friend got the regular schnitzel and we both loved them. The sauerkraut was really good. House made fermented ginger beer was delicious too! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is large and open and welcoming and pretty too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Had a wonderful breakfast here with my hubby this morning! You can't eat here unless you are vaxed (proof required), and I very much appreciate it. The place is small and intimate and has a lot of interesting decor. I got a veggie scramble. There were mushrooms, peppers, kale, and cauliflower in the eggs and some hashbrowns on the side. Dang, was it tasty!! My husband got some baked pancakes that had bacon in them. They brought over a tray of in-house syrups ( the caramel and the coffee flavors bring the two favorites).

    Austrian Pancakes and Plum, cinnamon compote

    E P I C - this is a one man show and *show he does! The food served here is German comfort food at its finest. Mr. Wonderful had the Austrian pancake with plum sauce, he enjoyed it, and I enjoyed the few bites that I swiped from his plate. I had the potato pancakes which were cooked to perfection and they were served with homemade applesauce - which was a memory triggering delight! You can taste the passion in this food! The interior is eclectic and cozy. I liken it to stepping back in time for a trip from the 50s through the 70s. It's quite charming! We are planning a return trip to Sellwood based around this restaurant. I must try the dinner offerings. Danke!

    Black mold at the bottom of the water bottle (about 1" glob.

    EAT HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK (read the quotes from their last health report on 2/1/2024). We left because it was so disgusting. I've attached photos of the mold at the bottom of the water bottle used to serve us water in. I'm fortunate as the only one in our party to not the drink water. I first noticed what I thought was ice at the bottom and thought that was weird, then moved the bottle to realize it was white and black mold. The utensils my partner received were dirty, the cups that they served tea in were sticky and gross. There was a layer of filthy film on the salt and pepper shakers. The server was wearing the most disgustingly filthy apron (later I realized he was also operating the kitchen). It's important that food is safe to eat. So many are immunocompromised, have liver or kidney problems. People shouldn't have to gamble in having a clean environment and safe food to eat. I filed a complaint with the health department and in the process learned this restaurant just had an inspection and barely passed with a 75 (below 70 is failing) and required corrective action. Here are actual quotes from the inspection done on 2/1/2024 by Multnomah County: "The person in charge has not demonstrated knowledge of foodborne illness disease prevention" "NO RUNNING HOT WATER AT DESIGNATED HANDWASHING SINKS (TWO)." "Food is unsafe, adulterated or not honestly presented, specifically: ***MANY FOODS IN THE WALK-IN EXHIBIT MOLD GROWTH.***" "Raw or ready-to eat food is not properly protected from cross contamination, specifically: ***FREEZERS OF RAW ANIMAL PROTEINS ARE IMPROPERLY STORED.***" "Raw or ready-to eat food is not properly covered or stored, specifically: ***ALL FOODS ARE UNCOVERED IN THE WALK-IN. CONTAINERS OF FOODS/TOPPINGS IN KITCHEN PREP AREAS ARE KEPT UNCOVERED. FREEZER STORING RE-PACKAGED RAW ANIMAL PROTEINS IN UNSEALED BAGS.***" "Food-contact surfaces are not clean, specifically: ***CUTTING BOARDS, UTENSILS, EQUIPMENT HAVE BUILD UP FOODS AND DEBRIS, NOT CLEAN.***" "Ready-to-eat food is not properly date-marked, specifically: ***NO DATE MARKING PRACTICED.***" Edit to the owners response - I'm curious what kind of black and white fuzzy food you serve that would get into a bottle? It was most definitely mold and it was disgusting. This was supposed to be a birthday gathering and people in our party were not in the mood for food after consuming some of the water that was poured from that bottle. And though you posted parts of the follow up inspection report done on 2/14/2024, I should point out that our visit was on 2/25/2024, 9 days after the follow up visit by the health department. Besides that, none of the issues in the original report should have happened in the first place. That is why restaurants are regulated and anyone who handles food has to be permitted to do so.

    Beef roulade
    Sabrina B.

    Casual dining in an eclectic dining room with an amazing authentic Bavarian menu. We went for my birthday dinner (I am gluten free and he's not) and it was like a food hug. After high school I worked at a Bavarian restaurant owned by a family from Munich, and Eugene's food was a taste of the past. The beef roulade was fork tender and full of flavor and my husband wanted to lick his stroganoff plate clean. We followed it with salted caramel pannacotta and gluten free apple fritter. All I can say is I am in a partial food coma writing this on my way home. But be patient because it is a one man band for the front and back of the house, but 10000% worth the wait.

They had a nice draft and bottle selection of German beer. The food was delicious. The pretzel was scrumptious with 3 dipping sauces that were all good. I ordered the Jägerschnitzel, prepared breaded and pan fried like a Wienerschnitzel. It was cooked perfectly with the pork tender and thin. The red cabbage was great too. The warm German potato salad was not traditional. It tasted more like seasoned fried potatoes, but they were still good. My only suggestion would have been a little more gravy. My husband got the Maultaschen, which we had never had. It was a pasta filled with sautéed leeks & cheese, topped with asparagus, & mushrooms in white wine sauce...delicious. Everything was great!!!

I needed protein but it's ALL ABOUT THE BRETZEL (with fermented beer cheese, spicy Dijon, and better-than-butter chicken FAT). It's chewy and toasty and crusted in very fine flake salt - DIVINE! Hausgemachte Wurst (x2 wurst) - Weisswurst was smooth & slightly smoked, excellent with curry ketchup. Bratwurst was shorter & grilled, perfectly herby, although Dijon adds heat - needed because it was a little dry. Add-on Spatzle is comforting, a little charred, probably better with a Bock or Pilz (or CHZ PLZ!). To make it all go down EZ - the very best kraut I've ever had anywhere - rich with slight fruit (ACV?), and smooth like butter. It's warming winter food but still tasty AF in the sunshine.

    Our dinner at Swiss Hibiscus was a truly special experience. Guy Fieri ate there! We stumbled upon…read morethe place by accident - I might have thought it was a coffee or dessert shop from the name, but that's on me. It's a cozy, comfortable space with a Swiss flag and one of those giant horns like in the Ricola ads. I ate with three people and we split up to tackle a good sampling of the menu. We had the Weinerschnitzel (chicken) and Jägerschnitzel (pork). The meal was well-paced. The salad dressing was unique but familiar, they serve it with hot, crusty bread and on the salad (cabbage and house) I could have drank the dressing. I shouldn't, but could have. The schnitzels were fantastic - both the brown butter and the brown gravy. Sides: Spätzle (the garlicky noodles) and the hash brown thing with the bacon. You guys, we ate EVERYTHING. We've never seen our 10 year old eat so much good food. (To be fair, the boy and I had only eaten Chex Mix that day while my wife was at the spa...but I digress.) We felt well taken care of. This was my first time visiting as an out-of-towner and I felt as welcome as visiting family for dinner. We finished the meal with the Lilikoi Cheesecake. My kid surprised me by saying "That's passionfruit!" (which he learned from the Kona Ice truck). Light and decadent. Great meal!

We ordered a rosti for an appetizer which doesn't disappoint, just like how I remember from Zurich. We both ordered dishes with spaetzle, schnitzel and goulash. I opt for a salad with the famous Martin's dressing while my wife gets a French onion soup she claims is the best she's ever had and that's saying something, because we've eaten 3 Michelin Star French onion soup so I try it and now I'm a believer. The chicken broth is so tasty, the onions and cheese are wonderful. It's the simple things really that can make one happy. After conversation and lots of eating, we soon find we've devoured our plates. It's been awhile since I had really good spaetzle so this was a treat. Service was attentive at every step. The dining experience like high end but in a more casual setting. Would go here again. Recommend reservations since seating is limited.
