   We've booked the Stamrisch with food several times. Both the quality and quantity of the food were extremely disappointing this year. The food used to be hot and plentiful- platters of hot brats with sauerkraut, lots of potato pancakes with sour creme and apple sauce, cake for dessert, etc. There were always leftovers and no one left hungry. This year, the amount of food was ridiculously small. 4 3-inch potato pancakes, 4 thin slices each of a couple salamis and ham, 3 small, cold sausages cut in bites and scattered on a plate to try to make it look like more, two pieces rye bread cut in half to make 4 pieces. If this for 8, everyone gets 1/4 of a piece of bread, 1/2 a small potato pancake (2 bites), etc. We had a party of 5 and ate every crumb. The only thing there was enough of was pretzels. At $550 for the table it was absurdly overpriced for what we got. Never again. Very sad because this has been a favorite family tradition for a while.

   It would have been nice if there was a food package that was “hot chocolate” or geared toward non drinkers. Hot chocolate, pretzel, etc.

   A nice way to make sure a group of friends can enjoy Christkindlmarkt together, considering how crowded it has become. You can relax and have a few drinks before heading out to the stalls for shopping. Food & drink packages are fine for groups that want to eat & drink the same but if you have a group with varied food needs you will need to get your food from outside.

   Food and service was far less quality than in previous years and the price was much higher. Overall disappointing as we were glad this was back this year but it did not live up to previous experiences.

   This is a terrible experience! We did not get much food for the price! This was 500.00! The food was for 8 people! We only got 4 potato pancakes! Some cute up cheese sticks( maybe 3 sticks total ) There was no way we got $500 worth of food.

   We had a wonderful experience at Stammtisch. My 2 year old grandchild clapped with delight at being there. They played Christmas music and my granddaughter sang along. We had ample Bavarian snacks. Loved the cups to keep. The hot chocolate was very good. Potato pancakes with applesauce and big bread pretzel was the favorite. The service was great and all were polite and checked on us often. Lovely holiday family experience.

   Purchased the Bavarian Brotzeit package. Not worth the expense. The food is not from the outside vendor booths and unfortunately consists mostly of ham slices, hot dogs and string cheese. The potato pancakes weren’t bad, but they only provided 4 or 5, so you need to split them up. Next time we’ll only get the Glühwein package and bring in the authentic food from the booths.

    We watched six people about 30 minutes into our PAID reservation just come in and sit down. They were laughing at the fact that they were able to do this. I paid for a party of eight every though there was only four of us, because that was what required. Never once did anyone ask if we wanted a drink or anything.It was the WORST experience ever,, SO EXPENSIVE!!! Definitely not worth it!!!
