My in-laws went to go there a week or so ago to celebrate their anniversary& found the place closed with no note on the door at the time. Sad that so many wonderful places have gone only to be replaced by fast food joints.

We immigrated to Queens from Germany in 1985 and have eaten there since we discovered it. We talked to the owners whenever we were in there and always had great food and it really saddens me to see it go. Wish the owner the best of luck!
