I am way behind on posting this but here goes. Last month's Resturant of the Month club's destination was The Black Forest in West Chester. Its a bit far to travel for German food, but the atmosphere is very quaint, the service was excellent and the food was good. Angela had the Spatzel Alpina which had a wonderful flavor. I'd go back just to try that again. I had the King Ludwig II Schnitzel which was pretty good too (but I really crave is more of Angela's dish). In addition to the food, the resturant offer Liters of several different German beers and had a small band playing traditional German favorites. They were a fun lot and even indulged my request for "Sweet Home Bavaria". There was a dance floor as well where most of our (large) party took advantage of.
On the service angle, they deftly handled our very large party and even gave us seperate checks without us asking. That is a wonderful thing in my book. They even offered us free shots of Apple Schnapps. Lastly, if you are looking for something different, they do offer a table side preperation of Cherries Jubliee. I didn't try it but it is always fun to see food lit on fire.
All and in all, it was a good trip.
