Heidelberg Restaurant

I loved the atmosphere of the Heidelberg Restaurant. Not brightly and a variety of old paintings and pictures, wooden floors make this a wonderful 80+ year old restaurant. The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful.
There is a large menu of German dishes, beers, and wines. We particularly enjoyed the sausage platter for one and beef goulash. The apple strudel and black forest cake are excellent dessert choices

Absolutely loved this place! One of the best German restaurant in Manhattan imho. Food and drinks, service, personal, atmosphere - everything is outstanding. We’ve ordered wheel of the camembert that was a great starter. Sausage platter and jagerschnitzel was delicious! But the nicest surprise was at the end. We’ve been suggested to try Black Haus schnapse with cherry chocolate cake. This was just WOW! This is a perfect combo. I’ve never thought that dessert can be so “die for…”! So grateful to the person who recommended it!

Our server was great - but the cook ???!!! Took 35 minutes for 2 knackwurst. We almost finished our 1/2 liter beer before the wurst came out from the kitchen and we were not drinking fast. A party of 4 got their full meals before I got 2 hot dogs basically. This place is very expensive so be prepared for that !!!

i ordered their sausage platter for one which comes with three sausages: bratwurst, bauerwurst , and weisswirst. the dish also comes with potato salad, cabbage, and sauerkraut. i also ordered their gebackener camembert (breaded camembert cheese with sliced pear and cranberry sauce). i must begin by saying i’ve never been to a german restaurant and had simply stumbled upon this gem with a friend. everything tasted amazing. there is such a unique balance of flavors to every dish. the cheese was fragrant and delicious (not overly strong but a light creamy, milky flavor) that paired perfectly with the pear and cranberry giving the dish a creamy and sweet flavor profile. the sausages were all really good and paired perfectly with their potato salad, cabbage, and sauerkraut. each of the three sides gives a slightly different addition of flavor (salty, sweet, and sour/tartness). overall, i’d recommend coming here if you’re in the mood for german food (note: the meal overall was very filling and hearty)!

Food was really good. As a former waiter in Germany I can attest to it tasting authentic from the Potato Pancakes, the Jaeger Schnitzel, to the Schwartzwalder Kirsche Torte. Ciara as a server was very friendly and helpful.

Love this place! I just went there tonight and the service was great even though I came in so late, and the food was amazing and had huge portions yum. Felt bad I couldn’t finish it but takeout boxes were made for a reason. Would come here again, and the atmosphere is great too.

This one makes me sad. I was looking forward to having German food in the north but this did not match up. Food is mediocre. I walked in and thought it was a cute place. It was a little colder than what it should've been on a rainy/windy day or maybe it was bc they had the back door wide open for smokers or whatever. The server came by and I wasn't ready, it didn't take long before I was. 10/15 mins later, he comes back smelling like cigarettes (which I'm allergic to) so you know he didn't wash his hands. He threw the alcohol menu in my face and I said no..he still continues to push it after i tolld him I don't drink. I order.. food comes and it's ok... esp if servers keep trying to clear your table while you're still there and working on it. There was no way of finishing the meal with the bad service. I asked for a Togo container. Packed up.. server comes back and tries to push the desserts and I said no..he has the menu about 1.5/2 inches away from my face and apparently didn't like getting told "no". I understand upsetting bht, don't be pushy about it. He then brings the payment machine and I haven't even finished putting the food on the container. I asked "I pay now?" With a super confused look and he said said "yes". 😐 I didn't leave a tip.. I grabbed my jacket and get 1 arm in before he comes back and says "you didn't leave me a tip?" And I said "no"
He proceeds to ask me why.. I told him I didn't feel comfortable telling him. He goes tell front of house & he comes back which I tell him all of this. He offers a lava cake (I don't eat chocolate) and then he offered something else. I really didn't want it but he insisted. This dessert was also over soggy. I dont recommend it.

You want to travel to Germany but you can’t? Just have a dinner here !

Exterior, interior, and even staffs’ outfits, everything was very authentic (I’ve never visited Germany, sorry if you guys disagree with me ;)

Nevertheless, sausage was awesome. We ordered creamed spinach on the side and it was a good match with sausage. As many people already know, schnitzel was also good. I personally loved the big chunk of mushrooms in the cream sauce.

I am not a big fan of a beer, so the server recommended me a hot wine and hot apple cider. Both were tasty and perfect for cold weather, if you are not a beer fan just like me, try the wine or any drinks that staffs recommend. I think all of the staffs know the menus well, and plus they are super friendly.

Love the fact that this place is in my neighborhood and definitely my go-to place !
