Tips & Advice
- Call ahead to book a table, because Rolf's only takes reservations by telephone and you can't reserve online.
- Look up once you're seated, because ornaments and icicles are strung throughout the room, ceiling included, along with porcelain dolls, wreaths and garlands.
- Order one of the holiday cocktails, such as the Christmas Smoothie or the Rolf's Holiday Martini, if you want something seasonal instead of the German beers on tap.
- Come hungry for a Bavarian meal, since the menu includes Wiener Schnitzel, Sauerbraten, potato pancakes and apple strudel to go with the decorations.
- Rolf's closes earlier on Sundays than on the other days of the week, so allow for that if you're planning a Sunday dinner visit.
