October, also known as Oktober, is upon us, signaling the passage of Oktoberfest and her many steins, sauerkrauts and suspenders. Lets take a moment to cheers the handful of restaurants that've jumped on the bandwagon this year. And hey, if you know of anything else along these lines, now's your chance to share the wealth.
SOMA - Anchor & Hope is hosting its first celebration of this blessed holiday on October 7th from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. German beer, curryweiss, oyster gratin and all manner of appropriate fare will be served as Bavarian dancers shake it and some attendees show up in lederhosen. If this is anything like the Mardi Gras shin dig at sister restaurant Town Hall, it shouldn't disappoint. Advance tickets are $40. [EaterWire]
HAYES VALLEY - Jardinière has been throwing out the special dinners like nobody's business lately. So of course Monday October 4th will see a German-themed prix fixe dinner: three courses with wine pairings for a recession-friendly $45. We're talking potato salad, sauerbraten and German apple cake, des-Jardins-style. Make a reso here. [EaterWire]
