I love to go to Schatzi, it is the best place here in Santa Monica. The food is always fresh, the meat super tender, even fruit taste different. The apple strudel is to die for. And I have lived in Austria for several years and know that is the real stuff, prepared exactly like they do there on the other side of the pond. The service is one of the best also. Promptly seated and if you dont like it and want to change... no problem; they treat you as if you are kings and queens visiting the place.
What I love the best is the quietness and closeness. I can actually whisper and be heard. Well, that would be over Brunch on Sunday mornings.... it can be pretty loud during happy hours, but I havent been to those. I enjoy the quietness and soothing atmosphere on weekends mornings.
