El Garaje Foodie

Quite disappointing in the end with this place. It seems like a really cool concept and from what you see on social media, it looks great but the reality is much different. We went there for the Octoberfest themed event they were having. They had 5 Octoberfest themed food items to offer but only had 3 out of the 5. We were not there late in the evening so not sure how they ran out of preztels and apfelstrudel before 9pm, especially when they promote an octoberfest themed evenings for the whole week. They said it was due to the amount of people but the venue works based on reservations so not sure how you can miscalculate this. From the things that they did have, it all seemed to be prepared in large quantities and without anything special. The bratwurst came plain with sauce packets on the side. Later on we were told there was a sauce truck where you can go put sauces on. The owner said that the staff was new and not well trained. What they promote on instagram is VERY different from what you get at the place. Other guests received much more elaborate dishes that look like what they have online so not sure if that was a different food truck or not as nothing was really explained. We also ordered what we thought were "mini burgers" that just turned out to be a larger burger that was cut into 6 pieces with different toppings put on each one (See image). Considering the price you pay for this is practically double than a normal burger, I would have expected something different. We also received two orders of the same thing and when we spoke to the owner, he offered it to us for free but in the end when we got the bill, they tried to charge us for it! It is a shame that the service was also impersonal and very much focussed on a quick turn around rather than the quality of the experience and the food. Perhaps it would be different to go there on a normal evening, but given this experience, I wouldn't go back and neither recommend anyone to go as your money is better spent elsewhere. What a shame. Wouldn't recommend.
