Spätzle in Shangrila

Each time I’ve visited Shangrila’s new wing, I’ve been tempted by Spätzle’s warm and inviting interior. Today I was presented with the perfect opportunity – a catch up lunch with one of my oldest friends.

Right away, I will tell you that I don’t know what you should order. I can tell you though, what NOT to order. I think I set my hopes too high because We were sorely let down by the food.

Our coolers were mediocre at best.

Don’t Order — My food, the homemade sausage with cheese spätzle was a sad, unappetizing dish. I should have listened to the waiter. He looked hesitant to recommend it to me, for good reason. The cheese spätzle itself (what the restaurant is named after) had zero taste. It also looked like little worms. Nothing about that is good. The sausage was okay. The sauce was bland also.

Salmon Rosti – decent but not spectacular. This needs a lot of sour cream and thinner potatoes. I would order this as a lesser of two evils.

The service is wonderful though. They are accommodating and friendly. Though this doesn’t make up for a disappointing meal.

Would I go back? I would wait until their soft opening is done and I would definitely order with caution. I suggest you do the same.
