Fritz & Franz Bierhaus

After closing his short-lived venture into upscale food Da Capo (an odd Floribbean/Creole MediterrAustrian joint), chef/owner Harald Neuberg redesigned this large room to serve up the stuff for which he became beloved at the old Mozart Stube: traditional German and Austrian fare, in a convivial college sports bar ambiance. Schnitzels are superior. So are sausages, available as entrées or in smaller “Bavarian tapas” portions. There’s one special each night, and it’s worth going on a Wednesday for Haxen Abend, a roasted pork shank roughly the size of Everglades National Park. But dieters are also well served here, with a mixed salatteller of three salads. Choice is up to the diner, but a combo of gurken (cucumber), shredded karrotten (carrot), and kraut (white cabbage) is highly recommended, due to their balanced, not-too-vinegary marinades which allow the veggies’ individual flavors to come through. Naturally, there’s a good selection of hefty German beers to wash it all down.
