Great late night spot. Spirited late night crowd. schnitzel and all the salads and dressings they offer is on point. (I like schnitzel baguette scooped, lots of green charif and pickled jalapeones, purple slaw, fried onions, and some garlic mayo). Food feels super fresh. Aaron the late night manager makes it all come together. He did an excellent job all around. This place is a must try daytime or night time.
