Here & There Column 3-20-12



Danke Schoen & Thank You Too


Now you've got to like traditional German food to even consider going into a Brauhaus.
Shirley and I on our travels to the Section 9 boys basketball finals at SUNY New Paltz were attracted to the Mountain Brauhaus Restaurant on Route 44/55 and 299 as we turned off of 44-55 to travel on 299 into New Paltz.
We both agreed that this would be our stop on the way back home after the game was over.
With a little Omp pa spirits in our mind and heart following the Livingston Manor Central School Wildcats win we headed for the Brauhaus.
One can generally tells if a restaurant is serving good food by the number of cars in the parking lot but many cars did not deter us and as we entered the door and was greeted by the hostess she politely informed us that there was a 45-minute wait.
We looked at each other and said we'll wait.
A little over a half-hour went by and we were visiting with some of the guests waiting for their table when we were notified of an open table. Everyone we talked to said the wait would be worth it.
A Brauhaus would not be a Brauhaus with the traditional separate bar room with many flavors or German brew on tap.
The restaurant has the look and feel of a traditional Brauhaus and when you order your rouladen, sauerbraten , kassler ripchen, knackwurst, bratwurst and bockwurst and schnitzel platters brimming over with red cabbage, sauerkraut and spaetzle you'll know your eating the best.
Try some of the pumpernickel and a glass of wheat beer and there is no way you are leaving hungry.
Fraulein Emma, dressed in traditional German garb served us some of the most delicious sauerbraten I have ever tasted......wow the flavor was outstanding.
For a culinary adventure you will never forget stop in at the Mountain Brauhaus Restaurant.
