   Stopped in during Restaurant Week for the first time because of the unique menu we're quite impressed by the atmosphere, service and tastiness of the food. It's like the Rainforest Cafe meets Bavaria. Casual German faire in the heart of Old Town.

   Got there five minutes before our reservation was told by the hostess that our table had been given away, then was seated at a large communal table and sit there for 20 minutes without being served or asked our drink order while watching other people that came in after us having their drink order taken, we finally had enough and went to the Irish pub across the street

   Super fun NYE night out! Great sausages, amazing pretzel and quite possibly the best sauerkraut ever. Totally recommend for your fix of German fair. Wasn’t a fan of the spaetzel, a bit bland. But otherwise, we had a great night with good service.

   The atmosphere at Alexandria Bier Garden is nice. I question the decor is they are trying to emulate a German Bier Garden. Our waitress was adorable and was attentive. The food was good but a few issues. The jagerschnitzel was okay. Came out hot but the mushroom gravy that came with it needed to be gravy. It was quite gelatinous which should not be the case. It should be smooth and able to pour on the schnitzel. That was not the case. The fries were a little undercooked. Not everything was okay. Some things were great. The beer, the potato pancakes and the sauerkraut were awesome. Would I recommend? Yes. Could have been an off night.

   Cute decor. Should carpet the floor under the games on the stage. It's really loud when Jenga falls or someone unloads the Connect Four. Middle of October - out of Oktoberfest beer and out of Debreziner sausage. German restaurant - hard to find the German food on the menu. Why are there tacos, empanadas, skewers with tzatziki? Is this a German restaurant or international? I had to search the entire menu to find this German food listed - Spaetzle!

    We had the more traditional German food. Chicken Schnitzel, Jaegerschnitzel, and Bratwurst. The beer selection was good. The food is good but it seemed the oil had not been changed. The potato pancakes tasted good but were almost black. The schnitzels were also good, but just a little greasy. The atmosphere was good and so was the serivce. Overall it was an good experience, I just wished there was a little more attention paid to the food.
