Made the mistake of coming during Octoberfest. Put my name on the list with an expected wait time of 1 1/2 hours. Bought 2 beers and waited and waited and waited. At the 90 minute mark, I asked the hostess as to how much longer. She said there were 8 table ahead of me. Waited another 30 minutes and the same hostess said there were 6 tables ahead of us. I then walked through the restaurant and counted 14 tables that were empty. Apparently they were extremely understaffed. How could they not expect large crowds during their busiest time of the year?! Since I dropped $25 at th bar, Iasked for passes to the tent, which I was told no as I didn't buy an entree. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!
