Truth be told, i've come to dread joints that advertise themselves as "real" biergartens the way that loreley does on the ballpoint pen i used to sign my credit card receipt. "real" usually means a humiliated staff dusting off their two semesters of Deutsch while dressed in either a dirndl or lederhosen or a wool trenker hat and dancing the schuhplattler between shifts. happily, there was none of that at loreley. the servers, in street clothes, appeared well-trained on the authentic cuisine of renowned German chef torsten Zeibold - even reminding me that Wiener schnitzel is thinly pounded pork, and would go well with my choice of draught beer.
