Feyzi is awesome!!!! This dude is literally the absolute best. If every place had Feyzi, it’d be a hard choice - but since he’s here, it’s not even an option. Respectful, professional, and effective.

It’s super loud during brunch. The prices are through the roof lately and there’s a 15% service charge that “is not a tip” then a tip line on the close out screen. Pretzel plus entree came to $50 after tax/fees and 10% tip. I love that it’s dog friendly tho!Vegetarian options: The “warm glow bowl” is a great vegan option with a funny name

I have been to Dacha several times and the servers and bartenders have always been great! But our recent server Feyzi really did an amazing job! He was super attentive, helpful, and full of positive energy. He made sure to get my order correct. I have a dairy allergy which makes it difficult to eat outside the house but he was able to recommend the best dishes for me. Highly recommend Dacha for great food and top service!

Food in general is just OK. Omelette and coffee are okie. But the steak and egg sandwich is good to try. Staffs are super friendly and their smiles will boost up your morning ☺️

I don't like leaving negative reviews if I wasn't personally wronged, so I'll leave this more as a note. Their hours are not realistic to when they actually close. I've gone twice, and they start shooing people about an hour to thirty minutes ahead of their actual close. This isn't the type of place where you'd have to pull your drunken friend off the bar once close rolls around, so it seems weird to stop serving an hour ahead of close, flicker the lights 45 minutes and then 30 minutes ahead of close, and kick people out a half hour ahead of when close supposedly is. If you're going to tell people to leave around 11:30, then that's when you close. I've gone twice, once on a weeknight, with close being around 10, and then tonight, a Friday, with close at midnight. Both times, my friends and I were shooed away no less than a half hour ahead of their posted closing time.

Very underwhelming place. Good selection of beer. Server was excellent. Random policy that they charge 15 percent extra that they claim is NOT a tip. Is already overpriced. So take the 12 dollar beer and add 4-5 dollars to it for the fee and the tip. This place will go down fast with this type of management and service. Unfortunate that a beer garden supports such a bad atmosphere.

Great deals, great drinks! Food is solid but not the reason to go. The atmosphere would make a German-American feel at home!Wheelchair accessibility: No steps, a few slants/bumps to get around on the pavers.

I had some of the best beers and sours i think i've ever tasted. Super cool ambiance. The Bavarian pretzel is so good.Great service. Great place for a date or gathering with friends. And great people watching. What more can you ask for?!?!?

❗️Be aware❗️-15% service charge (tip) will be automatically charged.Beer, food location and atmosphere were all great.But I dont think Ill go back to this restaurant for these reasons though.1. I realized that I double tipped them after paying.They automatically charge you 15% tip (service charge).Is this legal even? Why would they charge me tip w/o my consent?They dont show you paper check (only portable register) before you pay (so you can not really see what you were charged for) also they dont inform you about that at all.So I was already charged 15% tip and I put extra 20% on top of it.I asked them paper receipt befoee I leave because the final check didnt seem right and Im glad I did. If I didnt check the receipt, I would never know. This is really shady.Paying servers isnt my job at all. But Im still trying to be nice by tipping servers everywhere I go but I feel like Im scammed by this restaurant though. This is really annoying. They better notify customers about tip before they check the customers out.2. I left this place earlier than I planned becase of our aggressive server. Our server asked us if we need to order anything else more than 15times(no joke) while we were staying (only about 2hrs). She kept coming back and asking us if we want to order more beer or food while beer and food that we ordered were still more than half left... almost like pushing us. we've ordered 2 food, 5 beers and wanted to stay longer but we decided to leave since she made us pretty uncomfortable. Are servers here getting paid by commission or something...?
