Hear from our valued guests
The food is delicious. It’s also the most authentic German food I’ve had since we lived in Freiburg. And they were so nice!
The food was AMAZING. it's light, and well seasoned, but still hearty. I forgot to take a picture of the yägerschnitzel before I ate but I got that, the Kolsch, and the spatzel 😋service is also great. I skipped dessert because I was so full, but I will have to try it next time.
Both of us got a blind tasting which was a fun way to try a flight of random wines! The food was fantastic. We immediately got hooked on the artichoke beignets and I wish we ordered about 5 more orders. The shrimp and lobster ravioli was the biggest surprise, it was incredible, and the perfect portion to share! The waiter brought us a tasting of his favorite Cabernet and it was incredible too!
The beef liver appetizer was outstanding, and the rest of the dishes were also very good. The staff were exceptionally attentive and friendly
Food was good, we especially enjoyed liver patties, and the wurst plate was delicious. Potato latkies were too oily, which is sad as I love latkies and was anticipating a treat. Service was really good, attentive and nice.
We were so excited to try this new restaurant because it's German, and until now we've had to track to Palo Alto for German food. I'm so glad we went here! We came here without a reservation for Friday night, but locked out and got a table. It was getting extremely crowded as we left! So definitely make reservation. The food was wonderful! Everything was lovely, but I think our favorite was the schnitzel. Can't wait to come here again. We are already talking about coming back! Very sad that we didn't leave room for dessert.
Excellent German restaurant with authentic and very flavorful food. Highly recommended for vegetarians. The vegetarian Schnitzel was phenomenal 🫶
Cozy restaurant serving German dishes. We visited during the San Carlos Night of Lights, and the restaurant was at full capacity. I was worried it'd take a while for our orders to arrive but our food came promptly and everyone in the family enjoyed their meal! Adults had the veal schnitzel, and kids had the chicken schnitzel and Bratwurst entrees which were quite good! We've had our fair share of schnitzels in Germany and Austria, and Bistro Mitte delivers a very good version. The sides were fine, albeit the red cabbage was a bit on the sweet side for me, and I generally prefer there to be German pickle bits added to a German potato salad , but overall we had a great experience and will be back!
My co-workers and I came here to avoid traffic back to Sacramento and we were so glad we did! All the food was so incredibly delicious. The trout was magnificent, so buttery and flaky.- - the schnitzel was crispy and thin with incredibly good sauce and the homemade sausage was amazing as well. The service was very good with an incredibly kind and friendly server. All in all, top reviews from all of us! If we're ever in San Carlos again, we're coming here.
Really good German food. We are big fans of German food. Excellent menu of appetizers and mains covering most of the spectrum of German dishes. Nice drinks menu too. We had the Jagerschnitzel and bratwurst with curry sauce. Both were with red cabbage (rotkohl) and sauerkraut and mashed potatoes for the sausage. Schnitzel was crispy outside moist inside and the sauce was great. The sausage was very nice. Portions were huge! We had the potato pancakes for appetizer, with apple sauce. Nice and crispy on the outside, moist inside; perfect. Service was snappy and friendly. All together a wonderful authentic German restaurant.
