Our first visit to Two Goblets (since the move) last night. The location is super convenient for us since we live downtown; people coming in from the suburbs or Waterloo need to find parking but there are quite a few lots within two blocks of the new location, plus some street parking.
The new location is pretty compact, with room for maybe 20-25 people. It's been a while since I was at the old location, but wasn't it bigger? The new one is functional but definitely not plush. The soup and salad bar feels a bit cafeteria-style (but both the beef soup and the cucumber salad were very good).
We had a Franz Josef schnitzel and cabbage rolls for dinner. Both were very good indeed, the cabbage roll filling was quite tasty. I'll further single out the sauerkraut as being especially good (if it's from a can, I want to know which brand!). The meal size is very substantial; given the soup and salad, we walked home with a fair bit of leftover food. The beer selection is decent, and I was happy to find Erdinger on the list.
The prices are somewhat higher than at the Metro, but I think the quality of the food justifies the extra cost. We'll be back sooner this time, given how convenient it is now. Need to check out the goulash next time!
