Schilo's has certainly earned its ambience: this German restaurant has been around since 1917 and looks the part, down to the wooden booths and the elaborate pattern of the hexagonal floor tiles. Specialties include wonderful split-pea soup, baked goods, fresh pumpernickel bread, German beer and homemade root beer.
