Accordion players and singing servers weave through the dining room at venerable and festive Rheinlander German Restaurant, open since 1963, where families love to dine, and huge steins of German beer abound. Arrive for the bargain early-dinner specials that range from traditional German fare to more Northwestern-inspired entrées, all of which come with Swiss cheese fondue with bread cubes and
pflaumenmus (plum butter) and your choice of soup or salad. Try the sampler platter of sauerbraten,
hühnerbrust Viennese, bratwurst and rotisserie pork. On the dinner menu, there are entrées such as grilled roasted garlic polenta with diced roasted red pepper and Asiago cheese served with eggplant and red pepper, or a platter of five potato pancakes with sour cream and applesauce. Choose from German sides such as spatzle, braised sweet-and-sour red cabbage, sauerkraut and charbroiled fennel. "Be forewarned: If you arrive without a reservation, a lengthy wait is
guaranteed. Kids like the singing waiters and strolling accordion
players and the fact that all dinners include gooey Swiss cheese
fondue."
