    Jack Pandl’s is a classic and I’m so happy it’s still around! The atmosphere is quite lovely and the place is super charming. The wait staff was very attentive, was well-versed in the menu and could make recommendations, and very pleasant. Food was good and portions were large enough that three out of four diners had leftovers. We treated ourselves to dessert, including the strawberry schaum torte, chocolate mousse pie, and apple strudel. The chocolate mousse was the best and I highly recommend. The others were good, but the mousse stood out. I thought the prices were reasonable for what we ordered and look forward to going back soon.

    I have eaten at Pandl's in Whitefish Bay for over twenty-five years. I live in the neighborhood and always looked forward to my visits. In the past, I would rate the restaurant 5/5. However, this last visit was a huge disappointment. I ordered schnitzel and chicken livers. The chicken livers were to die for. But the pork schnitzel was dry and tasteless. The soup was so-so, and I was not offered a dinner roll. My Old Fashioned was not 10/10 as it usually is. The restaurant only had a few tables occupied. Our young waitress was efficient and friendly. The host was a middle-aged male who dressed too casual for work in my opinion. Will I give the restaurant another try? Yes, of course. But at this point I am not enthusiastic.

    Ordered coffee, never came, but it was on the bill. Ordered a beer to share and it came when we were about done with dinner. It wasn't busy. Food is just ok.

    Food was excellent and our waitress was excellent. Felt like understaffed given the number of diners. But our waitress was really hustling and had a very positive attitude.

    It was overall a disappointing experience. The waiter was friendly but super rushed -- didn't even wait for us to order appetizers. Cocktails were not great, duck was almost non-edible ( sauce was similar to Panda Express), whitefish and prime rib were ok. The Reuben was the star of the evening, but the fries were lukewarm, not salted frozen. We had such high hopes for this place, and it was our first time. We definitely got the feeling that they're coasting on their reputation, but maybe we just had an off night.

    The food was delicious. The ambiance was nice and the service was very good but slow. There were only two servers. All in all it was a very nice meal.
