I go here once a week. This week I dined on fries and then a steak. They were awesome to give me a different potatoe than more fries!
I sat next to a couple that was incredibly picky. The woman was newly pregnant (yes, I overhear stuff) and didn't want unpasteruized goat milk. The gentleman said that he always had an upset stomach after eating at Bier Markt. I don't know what is wrong with his stomach - cause the food is great.
It may be pricey - but it isn't risky. And when you go out with picky eaters or my friend, the biggest lover of poutine ever, you need more options.
George is a funny waiter. He didn't remember us for the longest time and then finally he comes by and asks us, "where is the party at?" This made my dinner companion very happy.
Overall - it is a winner because it is consistently good. I would rather pay 10 bucks more for dinner here than any of the other pubs in my King West hood.
