Amanda KellyFebruary 18, 2015- Joe DAugust 3, 2016The emmentaler sausage is a Weiner injected with cheese. What an invention; what science.
Byrne HobartJune 13, 2011Don't say no to the asparagus menu. But try to squeeze in a sausage sampler plate--best pork belly I've ever tasted. Bring lots of friends, and share.
Medusa KrakatoaSeptember 6, 2013Erwin Cooks! A new cooking show by the owner/chef of Cafe Katja, Erwin Schröttner.- The only place to be in NYC, when it’s snowing! Gemütlichkeit! ❄️⛄️❄️☃️❄️🍺❄️🍻❄️🥨❄️
Veronica PicciafuocoFebruary 11, 2012This place is always packed but the owner is SO nice (and the food so amazing) that I never mind waiting.
Elevine BergeJune 5, 2014Hurry there now for the white asparagus season! An own dedicated 'Spargel' menu 🙌
Food RepublicJune 4, 2012Emmentalerwurst has cheese INSIDE. INSIDE!!! Also, exceptional quark dumplings. Great with a stein.
Brian SchechterApril 4, 2011Come hungry. Sit at the bar. Get the spatzle, the dumplings, the kale and beer.
Come for German food, stay once you realize it's Austrian.

Ask for the boot at the bar, fill it up w Stiegel and get drunk.
Robert JamesApril 5, 2010I eat here at least twice a week. I recommend the Beef Goulash and Austrian Meatball. SO GOOD! Read more
Katerina AnnaNovember 10, 2015The food is not good therefore it's very expensive for what it is. Nice space, maybe for a drink?

"Loved: first white on menu, oysters, pretzel, cod. Brady had the lobster. Phenomenal food and service. We also had the (sp?) spatzel which had an alfredo like sauce."

"Pricey place, but it's Upper East, after all! Nice dining room and good waiters. Cake was excellent (I tried the Adele). Coffee also good. Eggs on creamed spinach w potatoes tasty lighter option."
