| - i'm not a fan of the hype behind this place.
for the greater part of a year i have been trying to come to this location and stupid me coming two times when it wasn't open (i was trying to grab lunch) finally i was able to come out with a group of friends on a Saturday night when it was open and ready for business, we had a group of 12 people(big mistake) and no reservation(bigger mistake) when we got in, we were chastised for not making a reservation from a lady who seemingly had the business iPad attached to her hip, a lot of um's and uh's were expressed by her and "oh we have another dinner party showing up in 30 minutes who actually made a reservation" my retort was i understand that but we are here now. after about 15 minutes of back and forth we were finally sat down and amazingly together. as all of my friends conversed i couldn't help but notice the simplistic design of inside of this place, and also the weird light setting, not something i was a big fan of, looked at the menu and right away i was conflicted, i wanted a little bit of everything, so my eyes took me over to the platters and i settled on the Oktoberfest platter and my S.o. had the Rouladen with a salad to start. all of our orders was taken and we had a decent sized conversation while the app's started hitting the table, the smells right away were very infectious, leaving the rest of us who didn't order app's salivating at the mouth. i was very happy with the size of my platter by the time it hit my seat, as i didn't eat much during the day and had a 12 hour shift, so i was quite hangry by the time the app's hit, let alone my main course. i started to eat a little bit, until i realized that everyone at the table had food minus my S.o. in my selfishness of eating before her i asked if she knew what was going on with the food, and we had no idea. the waiter finally brought her food and it looked nothing like the description, to the point where we got the waiters attention to let him know that the beef was missing from the tray, he went to the kitchen with this information and came back and asked what the issue was again? seriously dude? so he went back to the kitchen and got an assistant manager to our table to tell us that this "roll of stuff that looked like mushrooms" was in fact the main course of the meal for that tray...um OK...how are you going to have a main course come out and the side of the main is actually bigger then the main...what was even funnier after the fact was that we had a friend who strictly ordered a side as a meal and the side was better proportioned/even then the main AND was cheaper? my "feast/platter" was OK the smell was fantastic, but the flavor was lackluster to say the least the best part of my dish and i can't even make this up was the sauerkraut, the sauerkraut was absolutely fantastic, and i completed my platter without any help whatsoever. we didn't stick around for any desserts but i was able to hit up the bathrooms before leaving and they are like nothing you have ever experienced. a big button starts up a sound system/lights/disco with glow in the dark messages/paintings on the wall, and its a really good time. whats funnier is that all four bathrooms have a different light set up/music/glow in the dark drawings.
in short
the service is terrible and full of attitude.
the food is lackluster with awkward sizes and portions
the bathrooms are the best part of this place.
would not go out of my way to come back here...period
