Would we go there again: Yes

Great German food, a nice atmosphere, and the staff is friendly and top-notch. Prices are not especially cheap, but not especially expensive, either. If you live in Vancouver, WA, this would be a nice place to take out-of-town visitors, or just for a nice family dinner.

Tim's Comments: I'm a total sucker for German food, plus my good friend Brian Elmore was working here (no, that's not him pictured above), so I convinced my family to come with us to Gustav's. The food definitely did not let me down, and the overall experience was quite pleasant. And I'm not just saying that for you, Brian. If this place were here in Seattle, we would definitely go more often. At least I would. :^)

Jeni's Comments: I had no idea what to expect, not ever having had German food. I was really impressed with the service, and the food.
