" What can I say? Himmel's exceeded my expectations! We had the pork knuckle, which was amazing—crispy skin and juicy meat, just like I remember from my visits to Bavaria. Service was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance was spot on for a German eatery. I savored every bite, and I’ll definitely be back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" On my recent visit to Himmel's, I tried the chicken schnitzel and loved every bit of it! The atmosphere felt authentic, with rustic decorations that added to the dining experience. The only downside was the service, which was a bit slow to take our order, but they were very friendly when they were there. Overall, it's a great restaurant if you're looking for a cozy place to enjoy some German classics. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! We decided to do a casual dinner at Himmel's based on recommendations. The service was absolutely fantastic, and the food was rich in flavors. I particularly enjoyed the Sauerbraten, and the portions left no room for dessert, which is a shame because I've heard the desserts are also good. I will definitely return with a bigger group next time and perhaps save room for dessert! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Himmel's! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with genuine smiles and seated us right away. I ordered the Sauerbraten, which was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. The portions are generous—definitely worth the price! We enjoyed the live music throughout our meal, which really added to the ambiance. I can't wait to come back and try their pizza, which I hear is also delicious. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a real taste of Germany! " (*Curated Review*)

" Though we faced a long wait for our food, it was totally worth it! Each dish, including the pork knuckle and traditional dumplings, showed off the chef's attention to detail. The true highlight was the homemade pretzel bread that everyone raves about—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfect for dipping in mustard. It felt so authentic, reminding me of my visits to German beer gardens. Overall, a highly enjoyable experience despite a bit of a delay. " (*Curated Review*)

" The moment I stepped inside Himmel's, I was enveloped in the delightful aromas of freshly baked pretzels and simmering sausages. The cozy decor made me feel as if I was right in a quaint Bavarian village. I ordered the jägerschnitzel, which was perfectly cooked and served with a side of spätzle that had just the right amount of fluffiness. The service was warm and welcoming, with our server recommending the apple strudel, which did not disappoint. I'm definitely coming back here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Himmel's with my family for dinner, and we had a fantastic time. The beer selection was impressive, and we started with a delicious cheese platter. The standout was the pork shank; it was tender and flavorful, and we all loved it. Service was friendly, though they were a bit busy, which made the wait for our food longer than anticipated. All in all, it was a positive experience, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxed dining option. " (*Curated Review*)
