    We ate in the beer garden on a cold night, but they had it nicely heated so it was great. Food was great.

    Thank you, Stacy! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your experience with us. Stop by again this summer to enjoy our beer garden as a covered OUTDOOR patio! It's even more enjoyable to stay shaded while enjoying the outside air!

    Our server was amazing, friendly and attentive. The restaurant however put us at a table that should not even be placed there. It is a walk way making it impossible for servers to walk through with food. Annoying for the employees and us as guests. It was disappointing and even more so because I booked this months in advance.

    Great experience for my daughters birthday. We had a party of 7 and they sat us upstairs and out of the way to celebrate, which was really nice and we had a great view. Our server was attentive and friendly. The food was a bit slow but it everyone liked their meals and the ambiance made up for it. Will definitely go back and would recommend it.

    We love Moerlein and thought it would be a great delayed Vday lunch since we can’t get there too often. Love the food! We also sat by a window and was secluded. Very nice for our family of four.
