Want more than Italian and French fare from your Euro cuisine? Step into chef and owner Kurt Gutenbrunner's Wallsé, named after his hometown, for solid, classic dishes in the great Austrian tradition. If you're wondering what that even means, here's a recommended menu of old school stand-bys; wiener schnitzel, which earns a heavy rep, is lightened with a potato-cucumber salad and lingonberries; wild striped bass gets some zing from thyme and a riesling sauerkraut; and of course, what Austro-German meal would be complete without strudel? Theirs is a sweet and savory apple- walnut variety. Entrees from $26, reservations recommended.
