We decided to try a little German fine dining tonight and here is how it went

James - I am always willing to try new types of cuisine and I think this experience definitely gives creedence to that philosophy.

Food - The food at this particular establishment was exceptionally delicious, I enjoyed it very much. To start out with, I had a goulash soup dish and we shared an appetizer of baked brie cheese. For my entree  I had the Jaegerbraten, a very delicious pork dish that was served with a gravy, potato noodles, red cabbage and a garnish of tomato and lettuce. The gravy went very well with the pork and the noodles and cabbage topped it off very nicely. This may have been one of the best dishes that I have ever had.

Food overall rating - 5

Service - The service I recieved at this restaurant wasn't at all what I expected. He was very brief and too the point. Although he did do nearly everything that would be called of a waiter; He opened and handed us our menus, took our drink, appetizer, and entree orders at the right time, but talked to us very little. I thought the service we recieved her should have been a little better.

Service overall rating - 4

Comfort - The first thing I noticed when we entered this restaurant was how nice and comforting the decor was. I felt very comfortable and was astonished by how large the decor made the very small restaurant seem. The restaurant had awnings pertruding from the walls that made it feel like a sidewalk cafe which I liked very much. They had a live pianist which was also  very pleasing. I can't say anything other than I loved how comfortable this restaurant was.

Overall comfort rating - 5

Price - The food was very good and in this insance, actually justified the high check price. This restaurant is not for those with a small wallet, our ticket ended up being over seventy dollars with the tip added on. Although the food justified it, I was a little turned off by the high price.

Price overall rating - 3

Overall - I enjoyed this restaurant very much and felt that I will certainly returning here.

Overall rating - 8.5

Alan - I'm always open-minded to try new kinds of food, and I'd never had German before so I was interested in giving it a try

Environment - One of the first things I noticed upon entering was the various plaques advertizing the many years they won "Best German food of the Year in Florida" awards, which immidiately assured me that this was a quality resturant, despite the seemingly small appearance. I was really impressed by the private piano player, who was quite talented and helped make my experience even more enjoyable. Jazz music was also played over the sound system on occasions. The lighting was not too bright, but it wasn't too dark, just perfect for creating a relaxed, calming, almost romantic environment.

Overall Environment Score - 5

Food - First, we ordered an entre called "Baked Brie" which consisted of breaded cheese with Rasberry. It was something I never had before, I found it very tasty. Next I had a beef soup, which was basically beef broth and fried noodles. Being a big soup eater I enjoyed it. My main course was called "Sauerbraten" which was a beef dish served with carrots, red cabbage, and mashed patatos, and basted in a sweet sauce. The cut of beef was very tender, I didn't even need a knife to cut it, and it was very filling.

Overall Food Satisfaction - 5

Service - In my oppinion, the service, although satisfactory was somewhat lacking. He took our orders, gave us our menus and came and checked on us when required, but didn't really interact with us all that much, he was very "in and out" I could understand if the resurant was busy, but they weren't.

Overall Service Satisfaction - 3

Price - As usual, the price is one of the main deciding factors, obviously with a place like this there isn't going to be fast food prices. The meal came to a total of around 80 dollars, which although justified, could have been a little less straining on the wallet.

Overall Price Ranking  - 3

Overall Experience  - Despite it's shortcomings and somewhat steep prices, I enjoyed my experience at Hiedelberg and would gladly dine there again.
