The Scene Impressive stained glass, quarter-sawn oak woodwork, and a historic, archival photography collection make for an ambience to be reckoned with. Opened in 1898 as a corner saloon, the restaurant enjoys the distinction of having received Chicago's first post-Prohibition liquor license. The Food Diehards love the sauerbraten, schnitzel and creamed spinach. The menu now includes lighter, Americanized dishes, a nod to the times. It brings to mind really good cafeteria food, which has its place, but you may want to stick with the German favorites.
Successful schnitzel is moist and flavorful, with a delightfully flaky crust.
