    Libby our server was the best! The happy hour is a good deal. $5 wine, well drinks and 16 oz beers and $2 off all appetizers. We had the dry rubbed wings; the bison egg rolls and onion rings -all were very good and served quick and hot. We split the Reuben-delicious as were the parmesan fries. Again, served hot! Friends had the short rib grilled cheese and loved it.

    Restaurant was very loud. A lot of crying kids. It was difficult to hear the conversation at our table. Busser kept trying to take our plates away and we were not finished. Beautiful view.
    Moerlein Lager HouseResponded 6 days ago
    Hello. I'm sorry to hear we missed the mark during your experience. We are a very high volume restaurant which does unfortunately create quite an energetic environment. We will evaluate with our bussers to ensure they understand appropriate clearing of tables so that your next experience with us is top notch!
