Week in Reviews

Seattle Times restaurant critic Providence Cicero takes a spin around the palatial Von Trapp's three days after Hanna Raskin panned the bierhall's food. The two reviews are pretty on par (come for the beer and bocce). Cicero rolls her eyes at both the "young" service and lackluster eats, noting, "The pretzel bun has the great texture and chew, but lacks a malty flavor through and through, as do the big, soft pretzels that are house-baked though not served hot."
