My wife and I would both go back again. They have a great selection of European beers at reasonable prices (happy hour at the bar). We had steak tartare appetizer as recommended by our server. Interesting since we did not know what it was. My wife was turned off by it (raw ground meat) but tried a bit. I thought... more

One of the best meals I have had in NYC. I tried 3 different salads and each was amazing. I had the special fish of the night and it was cooked to perfection. The apple strudel was to die for. I also love the ambiance of the place. A little expensive and a bit out of the way but great... more

Excellent food and wonderful service. While the atmosphere and decor left a bit to be desired, the food made up for it! Don't miss the red cabbage salad -- outstandingly simple but very flavorful -- schnitzel and absolutely save room for dessert! I highly recommend the kaiserschmarrn w/ apple sauce -- it will melt in your mouth! more

We live in NYC and LOVE this place. Even before bringing out 6 month old baby here this week, Blaue Gans has always been wonderful! The service is warm, the food is delicious (try the blood sausage and Wiener Schnitzel and some Weiss Beer), and the decor is cool. This is a fun, friendly place ..... more

The kitchen is open until midnight, and there was no problem getting a table when we walked in at 10:30 pm. The first course we had was fine, but it became very difficult to enjoy (or even taste) the main course and the dessert because at the very next table there were people smoking. I was surprised that the otherwise-very-attentive... more

How hard can Weinerschnitzel be to make? It's breaded veal. Well, at Blaue Gans it's like eating cardboard. Don't order it. Get the fish, get anything else but just not the "signature" dish. The food here is unremarkable which is surprising given the chef/owners other great places like Wallse and Cafe Sabarsky. They also have a stupid "no-reservations" policy (why?... more
