Some of our reviews:Selene Latigo, Metro Santa Cruz ~ "Andrew's dish was the winner of the table. A thin slice of farmer's bread bore the weight of creamed spinach, slabs of juicy tomato, two poached eggs and ribbons of crisp bacon, all drenched in paprika-dusted hollandaise. The skillfully combined layers of color, flavor and texture won him over completely. Satiated and relaxed, we lingered for a bit before heading out the door into the sun-speckled woods. I treasure the Tyrolean Inn's magic and all that it offers: great German food, entertaining ambience and an altogether not-to-be missed dining experience." Ann Parker, Santa Cruz Sentinel ~ "What we found, however, was one of the most welcoming, entertaining restaurants I’ve visited in a long time. The decor is a charming, upbeat mix of authentic Tyrolean (German/ Austrian/Northern Italian) and kitsch: multiple cuckoo clocks and Alpine carvings, a massive beaten-copper fireplace hood, a chorus line of beersteins hanging jauntily on a central beam, our waiter’s Edelweiss-embroidered suspenders. My meal dispelled any concerns about stolid German food. This dish featured two tender pork cutlets, pounded to the thickness of a folded handkerchief, succulent and juicy under a blanket of creamy sauce enhanced with herbs and chunks of earthy mushrooms. Our Bayerische Creme ... was purely dreamy: Flavored with cherry Kirschwasser, this snow-white, firm mousse bordered a pool of Marionberry coulis dotted with whole berries and poufs of whipped cream. An engaging delicacy, mild and only slightly sweet, it made a perfect ending to our meal." Jessica G ~ "Bavarian restaurant way out in the forests of ben lomond. the winding, scenic highway 9 drive is half the fun. the other half is comprised of canned oompa music, old country knicknacks, waitresses in full-on dirndls, and hearty, hearty heapings of food. wienerschnitzel, beyrischer toast, and spaetzle, spaetzle, spaetzle!" Isra ~ "I've eaten there twice and each time it's been incredible. If you want rich food that's sublime, this is your best bet. The service was a little slow, but by the time I had my first bite I forgot all about it. Some dish with pork and peaches, then the 2nd time I had the goulash. The desserts are marvelous" Justin ~  Delicious!! try the Peppersteak! "Awesome food and service! One of the few shining lights in Ben Lomond!" Christina Waters, Good Times Magazine ~ "Tyrolean Inn knows how to provide a big, chalet-style welcome to its guests... Did I mention that we all loved absolutely everything on the table? Including the unusual spiced veal that tasted a bit like fresh ham. Tyrolean Inn is as comforting as a chalet in a snowstorm and deserves its local landmark status"
