Chef Brother competed on Top Chef. I've been to his restaurant at least five times now and each time was incredible. I highly recommend the four-course tasting menu. After living and traveling all over, I'm amazed at what you get for the cost of the four-course meal. Brother's food is impeccable and has been enjoyed by three generations of my family.

This German place is a little out of the way but so, so good! It's a small place with a small menu but everything is delicious. And if you want to grab lunch on a Friday, I strongly recommend making a reservation because they have a large group of regulars.
