I like the old atmosphere better but I still love the place, food and people. I have gone when ever I want that type of food for years when I have the time but its always well worth it to me! Yes I would recommend this place and have done so over the years too! :D
Service and Food below my expectations, placed my order and waiting for over 1/2 food. Should have brought my own drinks the staff is so slow do not go
Went for a team breakfast - worse place ever!!!! Lipstick marks on four glasses out of six, Leftover eggs on forks, big fat spiders in bathroom, and waitress was horrible!!! It took one and a half hours to get our food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awful place!!!!!!!!!!
For our first time we brought 2 Germans with us to experience Sauter's Inn. They were not that impressed and were unfamiliar with many of the spins that Sauter's takes on "authentic" German cuisine. My expectations were low on authenticity but I always expect, nay demand certain standards from any restaurant which were barely met at Sauter's Inn. Food was under-seasoned and some entrees were coolish in temperature. The homefries seemed an odd choice for a sidedish and proved to be pedestrian. The sort of homefries you eat at any greasy spoon breakfast diner. The spaetzle was bland and underwhelming. The apple strudel was chewy and way too hot inside from heating in a microwave. I wanted layers of flaky crust, instead I couldn't cut it with the side of my fork and nearly burnt the roof of my mouth on the filling. The service was adequate, speedy and personable enough but not exceptional or notable in anyway. The atmosphere is, in my humble opinion, dreadful. I get it, it's Bavarian, but does it need to be so tacky, dark and dirty. The place needs a really good cleaning at the very least. They need new lighting, new seating and could get rid of 95% of the dusty old kitsch that looms over you as you eat. The dirty plastic flower in a cheap vase on the middle of our table, in all of it's depressing dinginess captured the general feeling of the atmosphere.
Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful staff and absolutely the best dinner. This restaurant, is a must try if you go once you will be back. An amazing experience.
