Cypress Nook, Pompano Beach

For more than three decades, Cypress Nook Restaurant's owners Isle Wenttengel and Michael Gerike haven't changed much. Adhering to old-world traditions (apparent everywhere from lacy curtains to plates of frankfurters), they maintain their restaurant inside an old stucco house with a menu of rustic Bavarian cuisine. During evenings, the dinner menu catalogs handcrafted spaetzle, knockwurst with German potato salad and kraut, and slices of homemade key lime pie.
