This place is a pretty decent German restaurant. The food is fairly true to what German food is. It has some items that are more of a cross breed of American/Wisconsin and German. One of these are the Brat Stickers, think potstickers for Wisconsinites. They also have some family style specials that sounded great. All you can eat at a decent price is always nice.
They really have a good selection of German beers on tap, which is much better than the bottled versions you can find that have that aged funk to them. I sampled a fee and was very happy. With Madison becoming such a hot spot for craft beer and tap houses, the quality of beer was very welcome.
I did have an issue with their billing though. I had ordered a 17oz beer and the server told me that the keg was tapped. They were only able to offer me a partial pour, but she confirmed that the amount would be reflected in the price. The beer was $4.25 for 17oz. I was given an 8oz glass that was barely half full. The charge was $3.75. So they discounted it $0.50 for only receiving about 1/3 of a full glass.
Up until I saw the bill, I was enjoying my visit. Who doesn't love beer and cake? If that hadn't happened, I'd happily put this place at a solid 4 stars.
