" Had dinner here with a group of friends and had a great time! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a winter night. The schnitzel was divine and the portions were generous, leaving everyone satisfied. We tried several appetizers, and they did not disappoint! I particularly loved the croquetas; they had an amazing filling. The service could have been a bit more polished, but it did not put a damper on our fun evening. I'll definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Alpenrausch based on recommendations, but my recent visit fell flat. The venison I ordered was overcooked and fairly bland. My companions seemed to enjoy their meals more than I, particularly the fondue, which looked delicious. The atmosphere was warm and charming, but unfortunately, the service was somewhat lackluster. I expected more enthusiasm when asking about the menu items. While I appreciate the authenticity in their offerings, I think another visit might be necessary to give it a fair shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Alpenrausch on a whim and ended up being pleasantly surprised by the delightful ambiance and rich flavors on the menu. The pork was tender and paired beautifully with their house-made mustard. The service left a bit to be desired as one of the servers seemed overwhelmed, but the rest did a great job at keeping spirits high. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for authentic alpine cuisine or just a cozy night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Alpenrausch wasn’t what I expected. The ambiance was nice, but I thought the food would be a highlight—it was just okay. The pork chop was on the dry side, and I was disappointed with the lack of flavor. My friend loved the fondue, however, so it appears the dishes vary in quality. The service was professional but felt a bit distant. I think with some adjustments, Alpenrausch could become a real gem in the Portland dining scene. " (*Curated Review*)

" Going to Alpenrausch was a unique experience! The atmosphere was incredibly inviting, and the decor made it clear they were aiming for authenticity. We ordered several starters, and while the spaetzle was delightful, I found the smoked trout a bit underwhelming. The main dishes were where things improved significantly; I really enjoyed the roast with a side of wonderful local veggies. Service was attentive but somewhat rushed, which made the meal a bit less enjoyable. Overall, a solid choice for German and Swiss cuisine in Portland! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for an authentic alpine dining experience, Alpenrausch should be on your list! The cozy atmosphere made us feel right at home, and I thoroughly enjoyed the raclette service. Watching the cheese melt beautifully was a treat, and the pairing options were well thought out. Honestly, the only downside was that they had a limited dessert menu. I feel like that's something they can definitely improve on. Overall, a delightful experience; I would recommend this spot for cozy gatherings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an exquisite dining experience! The fondue was, without a doubt, the best I've had on this side of the Atlantic. Perfectly melted with delightful variety for dipping. The staff was incredibly friendly and eager to provide a great service. We also tried the venison – such rich flavor! The atmosphere contributed to a cozy vibe; you can tell they carefully crafted it to reflect alpine aesthetics. I left feeling so satisfied. Alpenrausch is definitely worth frequent visits!
