Casual Austro-German bistro ("Blaue Gans" translates to "blue goose") with a long zinc dining bar and walls covered with vintage film and art posters.
"Foodwise, it's a rustic version of Wallsé at a discount-if a marginal one. Nothing seems the slightest bit overdone. That's especially true for entrées like backhendl, or 'Austrian fried chicken' -accompanied by vinegary potato salad and sweet lingonberry jam, a nice counterpoint to the crisp, salty batter."
