    Great ambiance and great food. A bit pricey but plenty of menu options and lots of German beers. A must for visitors to Milwaukee.

    Horrible service. Was half an hour before our waiter came over to take our order. Extremely inattentive. Didn’t even offer us dessert. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Food was bland. We had heard so many great things about this restaurant. Complete disappointment.

    The portion sizes are significantly smaller and the family size side dishes were a total joke.
