TRADITIONAL DISH

Spaetzle
I tried this - not too creamy, which was good; made with
filet trimmings, which was good; not too salty, which was
good; had cucumber slices in it, which was just plain weird
SPECIALS
Smoked salmon/cream cheese/capers
Steamed "goyza"
soy sauce/light dijon mustard dip
nicely done, but the "goyza" filling was an unidentifiable
mush
Vegetarian spring rolls
sweet chili sauce/soy sauce
Maryland crab cakes
ponzu and ginger dressing/lettuce
pretty tasty, but how Maryland they were I don't know;
also an overplus of filler
Bavarian "Leberkaese"
brezel/Dijon mustard/fresh horseradish
DESSERTS
DO & CO's Mousse au Chocolat
light in texture, color, and taste; very sweet
Homemade walnut-blueberry cake
Italian style espresso flan
Fresh fruit salad
DEMEL's apple strudel/vanilla sauce
Cream chocolate-banana mousse
there was also peanut butter in this, which our server
warned us about; she said it was very nice; I wasn't
overwhelmed - too many things going on in an unconvincing
way
Traditional "Kaiserschmarrn"/plum chutney
nice version of an intrinsically you-had-to-be-there dish
Selection of sorbets
Austrian style chocolate soufflee/vanilla ice cream
