It was our first day of German Saturday School, and my mind was swirling with hundreds of familiar words that reminded me of Austria. We drove to St Anne's to catch the farmer's market, and ran into this restaurant on foot from the parking lot. We ordered Wiener and spätzle, and the Hunter's schnitzel with spätzle.
We had fast service and a splendid view on the balcony on one of the last summer days of the year. Unfortunately the food was disappointing, but the reminders of open terraces in Vienna, and spätzle on the balcony in Salzburg, and the enjoyment of my daughter after a morning of extra school that only served to increase her interest in the language of my mom's grandparents were enough to overcome the food reality.
