 This neighborhood favorite has been serving classic, old-style continental, French and German cuisine since chef Wolfgang Gropp founded it in 1974. The kitchen now is managed by son Anthony Gropp, while another son, Michael, handles the front of the house. The low-energy, quiet space is decorated in rococo style with chandeliers, gilded mirrors and an abundance of reds and blacks, lending an elegant-yet-comfortable feel. The menu takes you back to the 1960s with such continental mainstays as Châteaubriand (for two), individual filet of beef Wellington, and filet mignon with two sauces, bordelaise and béarnaise. The well-accomplished coquille St-Jacques, house-made pâté and escargots represent French classics, while an arrangement of wursts and roast pork with sauerkraut and spicy mustard is a standout among the German dishes. For dessert, consider the strawberries Romanoff, long the restaurant's signature sweet. The wine list is well chosen and visits many parts of the wine-producing world, but we wish the German wines were more amply represented. Smooth, professional service matches the crisp white table settings and lovely tableware. Many of the staff, some of whom wear tuxedos at dinner, have been here for more than two decades.
