Rolf's German Restaurant on Third Avenue has run since 1968 and is best known for the year-round Christmas decorations that fill the room with ornaments and lights. The schnitzel and the holiday season anchor the calendar; the room becomes a tourist destination from November through January.
Rolf's takes phone reservations only and not on a public platform. The holiday season is the hardest stretch by a wide margin; the off-season is meaningfully easier. The bar accepts walk-ins for a shorter menu when a seat opens.
