Terific meal. Went there with 3 friends. I had the Turducken, other dishes ordered were Chicken Marsala and Filet Mignon. The Filet Mignon was described by the person who ordered it as the best he ever had. The Chicken Marsala had a rich, dark gravy full of mushrooms and the portion was very generous. The Turducken was a nice Thanksgiving type dinner with mashed potatos, a spinich side dish (excellent) and homemade cranberrry sauce. 3 desserts were ordered: cherry cobbler, bread pudding and apple strudel. The cherry cobbler was by far the best of the three. It was superb and probably the other cobblers on the menu, including peach, were excellent as well. The bread pudding was far above average with a great texture and full rich cinnamon taste. The apple strudel struck me as average even though it is homemade with rum soaked raisins. My opinion is that the apple strudel really suffered without the traditional vanilla sauce which was not offered. Perhaps I was ruined by a recent trip to Austria. This restaurant is combined with a meat market which offered excellent looking dry aged steaks for $12.99 a pound, truly a great deal. These folks really know their meat dishes, especially the german ones such as sauerbraten and schnitzle in addition to the steaks.
