| - Bier Markt on the Esplanade is a great restaurant for a guy who thinks he's ballin' to take a girl who doesn't know better. I can see how the facade might impress some, but let me break it down for you:
The beer list is great. Mammoth. I don't drink beer that much so I'll let the other reviewers speak to this, but I'm thinking if you love beer, this might be a good place to drink... at least for a few post-work pints.
The food is decent-ish, but the price is whack. Way too expensive for what you get.
We did Summerlicious here, so for a $35 3 course meal, I was more than happy, but I wouldn't have been if I'd paid regular price.
I got the T-Bone Burger, house salad, and lemon tart. Burger was good, the fries were yummy, but you can get better for cheaper. House salad was a house salad. Lemon tart was bangin'!
I agree with most of the other reviewers regarding the crowd. It wasn't an unpleasant experience, but not really my scene. And I was there on a Thursday eve... I can imagine how it goes into super-douche mode on weekends.
Our server was really nice/attentive, the manager stopped by to see how things were, and they were accomodating when we were a little late due to stupid Jays traffic and an absence of available cabs. They did, however, remind me 37 times that we only had the table 'til 7:30 (our reso was at 5:30).
