| - I'm settling on three stars, because the experience really was pretty fun. The place is a cavernous vault with soaring ceilings that reflect the loud, raucous vibe, the German music, and the clank of beer steins on tables. Pretty cool. I am not above enjoying a kitschy appeal to every German stereotype, and I'm definitely not above the beer choices.
I think I might have just had the bad luck to go there when the waitress I got was having a bad day, because her negativity was so pronounced that I whispered to my dinner companion, "Did I do something offensive? Why does she hate me?" Hard not to have a bit of a pall settle over the experience when you're wondering if your server is spitting in your food for reasons you can't figure out.
Everyone else was great, though, so maybe that was just an anomaly. The hostess was super cheerful, the musical entertainment was outrageous and fantastic, and it's basically a great place to go to if you're in the mood for a loud, cheerful time.
The one other challenge I experienced is that there's no nearby parking, so having someone with limited mobility in the party is tricky.
