There's something charming about just the existence of a German restaurant in Mountain View. West Berlin opened about four months ago, and on the inside, it still has that new restaurant feel -- it's nicely done up and a little sparse. The walls are a deep mauve color and hung with historic photos of Berlin. The partially frosted windows give the dining room a feeling of both brightness and privacy.
The menu at West Berlin is short -- printed out on a single piece of paper -- but we quickly found what we were looking for: sausage, sauerkraut and schnitzel, schnitzel, schnitzel. Five variations on schnitzel, in fact.
