"This inexpensive, neighborhood restaurant/pub is just a couple of blocks away from an area with many restaurants that have higher prices and less exciting food. We were drawn into the place when we walked by as an older couple were walking out with a dog on a leash. Inside, nearly every table was filled with families or groups of friends who seemed to be on a first name basis with the staff. A super friendly waitress kept circulating with a carrier holding traditional, narrow glasses of beer which she dropped off for patrons as needed.We were too late to order pork chops; they had sold out earlier. So, I ordered a steak and my companion ordered pork cutlets. Both dishes were served with an excellent green salad lightly dressed with a delightful homemade vinaigrette. The main dishes included incredibly tasty caramelized onions and the best tasting potatoes I've ever had. I've cut way back on carbs and had only planned to have a taste of the huge pile of potatoes, but I ended up eating all of them because they were so wonderful. My steak, although a bit chewy, was cooked perfectly and tasted great.I travel frequently and I'm always on the lookout for good, simple, local food. This place is the real deal. I'm pretty sure we were the only people in the restaurant who were not from the neighborhood. For business travelers, it's within a short walk of Koelnmesse and the Hotel Dorint. I'll certainly be back again, perhaps this evening."
