Take your money and go across the street for better food and service. At $18 for a meal, I'd rather fill myself up with sugary drinks from Starbucks. For what it's worth (which isn't much) the food is fine. Nothing special though. It feels like they went to the butcher across the street, bought some sausages, boiled them and then slathered a bunch of vinegar on it. You can make this at home. (The pretzel was also definitely under proofed, that dough was pilling) The main problem is that these people don't seem to know how to run a restaurant. The front is empty consistently, the food takes forever to come out, and there were lots of angry people waiting around for their to-go orders. Man, I was excited to try this spot out, but that was insanely disappointing.
Don't get the sandwiches. They literally buy the cheapest wheat bread you can find in a grocery store, the cheapest processed meat, and the cheapest processed cheese, with mediocre vegetables.
Always a pleasure to pop into Esther’s for a bite. We leave with an entire bread basket to savor at home for days.
Great food pretty authentic, good service too. Not many people sadly so the atmosphere is a little empty.
I love coming here on Sunday mornings for brunch and WhatsApp/Skype talks with those friends of mine for whom it is Sunday evening at that time. There is always enough space to sit, even though the place is popular. My favorite dish is Lovely Omelette. I also sometimes eat German omelette but ask to go low on bacon.
The potato pancakes are great. Currywurst was good, but the sauce was a bit too sweet. Wiener schnitzel was big and tasty. Great salad and spaetzle too.
