We have eatten at Biergarten twice and will be back in Sept, both times we sat with very nice ppl. First an elderly couple who were retired from WDW and were there for the afternoon, very interesting conversation. Second time a young asian man who ordered a huge beer and really enjoyed himself very quite but smiled alot and a father with two children, my two kids and I were celebrating my bday and when the waitress brought me out a cake I shared it with everyone at the table and it was really nice. To the ppl who avoid Biergarten b/c you will sit with strangers does that also keep you from going to Japanesse steaks houses? I think the chances of having a bad experience are slim, I have had worse experiences at Coral Reef ( I still LOVE It) by kids pushing their way to the tank when our tables there or kids at Ohana (Also LOVE It) pushing their way to the windows inbetween our tables during Wishes.
