| - Very disappointed, especially after all the positive reviews.
Avoid Sundays in October. If they've had a busy weekend, you may find, as we did, that their out of stock status is catastrophic. Our visit found no more lamb, draft German beers dry but for two brands, bratwurst all gone, German potato salad all et up, whatever German wine it was that my wife ordered, out. Hell, they may as well have closed.
If you order the liver dumpling soup, you'd better like liver! Very ...uh....flavorful, and way too salty. To say that the goulash soup reached Dinty Moore standards would be reaching. On the other hand, the Franconian wine soup was delicious!
Entrees were adequate to mediocre. No one in our party went beyond 'blah' in their assessments. Perhaps all the really good stuff was gone.
Service was adequate but amateurish. The waiter didn't seem too experienced. Nice guy, though; he certainly was trying hard, and was empathetic enough to seem embarrassed about the disasters in the kitchen and bar. Comp'd us a couple of desserts as compensation; decent of him, but that wasn't enough to make up for the shortcomings of the place.
The best thing about the Bayrischer Hof, if you're jonesing for German cuisine, is that the Haus Murphy isn't too terribly far away. It's much the better place.
