    We went to the Princess Brunch with Cinderella and Belle and my daughter had the best time. It was great to sit and have a brunch cocktail and some good food, while she danced with other little princesses and got to meet two of her favorite princesses all at one location!

    The burger was not seasoned properly. The avocado toast was pretty bland and the eggs over easy were not appealing to the eye. The portions are enormous.

    The food was good. I ordered the short rib grilled cheese with garlic mashed potatoes. It was so good. My husband got the pimento burger. It was messy but worth it. Overall it was a good place to eat!

    Our service was great. The food was great. We were put on a 90 minute shot clock to "enjoy our experience" because of local events. We didn't need more time because it was so loud (they cranked the music about 15 minutes in- on top of the crowd noise) but I wish they would have told me when they called to confirm the reservation. We would have gone somewhere else for dinner and "enjoyed our experience" another time. I love the ML and go often, so will go back, but it was an odd experience.
    Moerlein Lager HouseResponded 7 days ago
    Hello, Amy. With Shane Gillis visiting just a block away, we did attempt to accommodate all of our guests and ensure everyone got a great meal prior to the show. We do apologize, as hindering an experience is something we never aim for. We're happy to see you visit us often and hope to have you back again soon!
