Yet another superior meal wonderfully served by the co-owner of the restaurant. Three of us sat in our fabulous Airbnb talking about having a nice meal together. The fourth in our party was happy to let us decide on where. So, we rejected LOTS of Dubuque's most highly rated restaurants in our quest for a special meal. We read the reviews, especially the low ratings to see where exactly restaurants have stumbled. There are plenty of dining options in La Crosse, which feels really different from the more limited choices in Dubuque last night The negative reviews of the Black Forest Bistro are all because people developed expectations about the experience based on its location in a Food Court of an ordinary mall. We arrived around 4:40, which is slightly before the mall closes at 5pm. The co-owner was also at the counter and was the waiter. He was super friendly and helped confirm that it was a full service restaurant if that's what we wanted. We had 4 different German food dishes, including an amazing pork shank cooked for 6 hours in a special gravy sauce and the Jaeger Pork Roast and a chicken Jaeger sandwich. We traded lots of bites from both the four entrees and the sides. I had a couple of German dark beers and my girlfriend had a glass of wine. This was a really good experience. We had fun with the co-owner talking about the confusion over the location and learned more about the life of someone selling fine German food out of an awkward location. They are talking about moving to another location, which I strongly support, though I live in Washington, so am unlikely to return. All of us agreed that this was one of the best meals we've had on this trip, though the super high end restaurant in Saint Louis was impossible to beat... But comparing the Black Forest Bistro fare to a meal that cost over $200 a person is clearly unfair. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Pork Roast, Pork Jaeger Schnitzel, Bread Dumpling, Gravy, German Potato Salad Vegetarian offerings: Not sure Vegetarian options: I think that they would likely try very hard to meet your needs, but many of the dishes are pretty meat focused. I would look elsewhere if I was trying to care for a vegetarian that I loved. Dietary restrictions: The co-owner was very helpful in addressing my party's special food needs. They are really nice, helpful people who are working hard to do a great job.
