    We went to Bavarian to celebrate a birthday dinner but this was not a good choice. The restaurant was not very busy. After waiting 10 minutes to be acknowledged, we went to the hostess stand to see if we were placed at the correct table. The waiter then came over to us and very rudely stated that we were not the only ones in the restaurant. He then took our order and when he came back, he slammed the food down on the table not saying anything. He came back 5 minutes later and told us that we would have a different waitress. The new waitress was very nice and polite but the meal had already been ruined. Looking back, a manager should have been involved. We have never been treated so poorly at any restaurant.

    We had 2 servers because of shift change. Both were so sweet. I don’t recall if we got the first server’s name but the second was Alexa and she was great and very attentive!

    I’ve been going here every year since I was a kid and this was the most expensive and poorest quality experience I’ve ever had. Cold chicken and boring sides, the only green thing on the table was the decorative kale which tasted better than the squash. We won’t bother with family style again, maybe it’s time for a new tradition.
