Claims to be a German restaurant, but there are only Mediterranean dishes on the menu.

While they have a pretty large menu, their food is not the greatest. We had the pretzel (good), chicken wings (ok), sauerbraten (ok but weirdly dry even with gravy), doner (eh, bland), and leberkase (ok but weirdly thin slices). However…. stay away from the potatoes. Their idea of potato dumplings is not knödel, but some sort of fried, browned mashed potato round that tasted old and stale. It was so bad I could only eat one of three and my German husband thought I was nuts at that. I love potatoes but these were awful.
Also my husband’s sandwich came with fries which tasted like they were battered and stale. How can you mess up french fries?
The strawberry lemonade was great and the beers were as expected, which is great. So go for the drinks but maybe eat elsewhere. Or at least don’t get things with potatoes.

We go there regularly ( almost every week ). It became like our family tradition. Awesome people, food and atmosphere.
On lucky days you might catch some street artists' performance ( live music )
Dietary restrictions: Great option for those who eat halal. Meat is halal out there.

We’ve hosted several Motorcycle Events there and will continue to come back. The owner and staff are so nice and accommodating. The food is great. Such a great beer garden vibe in the Bay Area!
Took the grandkids for a hot dog lunch. They loved it. The staff was so kind.

I am giving this three stars because I think it was not well thought out for a group of 34 persons, mainly seniors who aren't that mobile. Our group was seated outside on a wood chip ground which made it difficult for wheelchairs and cane users. Besides that, we were given wood benches to sit on which made it even harder to get into your seat - four to a wooden bench sharing one table with another bench of four persons. We had to be careful when getting into and out of our seats because the benches would tip as well as the tables tipping onto you. You can imagine - bunched up seniors trying not to tip over and holding onto our plates/cups when one person moves. There really wasn't room except to sit because they stored all the outdoor heating lamps and extra chairs in that area. I have no idea what their logic was because there were ample outdoor seating on the concrete floor with tables that had induvial chairs with arms. It would have been the same size as to where we were sitting. It was Sunday and the restaurant wasn't crowed.
If it wasn't for the food, it would probable be one star. The chicken schnitzel and spaetzle were excellent. Portions were ample; schnitzel crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; accompanied by fresh cranberries; speaetzle could have used more seasoning; mushroom gravy added more flavor and the squeezed lemon slices from the ice tea gave the meal a zest. Yummy delicious.
Burger and fries were disappointing. the burger was just the patty and bun - no lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, etc. It was rather dry.
Beef bratwurst, fries and sauerkraut - I would like to have the fries a little browner and crisper. Bratwurst and sauerkraut were okay.
Pretzels and Cheese Appetizer - pretzels were not the best and the cheese looked like it was store bought. The pretzel tasted better with a combo of the mustard and cheese.
The Greek pastries looked appealing and inviting. I could not decide on what to get, so I got one of each. The savory ones I never had before so I cannot compare. Would I purchase it again - no. It was not to my liking. The sweet ones I was familiar with. It could have been much crispier. I prefer the walnut over the pistachio. The walnut had more flavor. It was not soggy so that's a sign that it wasn't sitting that long. I was told they make their own Greek pastries, that's why I bought one each. I am a fan of baklava.
If I am in that area again, I definitely would return for the chicken schnitzel and spaetzle.
