1st time going to Oktoberfest here. They offer 2 such events this month, starting at noon and…read moreending at 9. Went with the cheaper tickets for $10 at the gate. Parking is $15 via the adjacent Evergreen Cemetery. I arrived past 1 p.m. and there was a line of cars waiting to park. Probably took about 20-30 minutes to do so. Tried most of the food offerings and of course imbibed German golden brew. Nothing food wise was a wow, but the potato salad on the bratwurst platter and the Obatzda cheese for the pretzel are quite good. The schnitzel I got was a letdown. No desserts to be found, as far as I could see, for the peasantry (non-VIP). Prices not terrible, I suppose. Ended up raining heavily later on, so that might have cut down on the crowd a bit. Probably should have checked out the lineup of performances beforehand, which is available online. Didn't really catch much of that. It's not a huge area. Wish there were additional shopping options, perhaps more German goods. Nothing in that regard tickled my fancy. Suppose it's not really about that anyway. I was not enticed to stay more than a couple of hours, however. Friendly, good-natured crowd present. Enjoyable enough, but not in a hurry to return.

I love this place and their Oktoberfest is among the best. I eagerly joined the society as I am a…read morelover of all things German, well, most things anyway. I was one of the few younger members. Sadly, young people (and by young I mean anyone under sixty to the age of twenty one) don't want to belong to anything any more. They'd rather pretend their lives are glorious on social media. Meh The social events here are great and very affordable. The food is excellent--prepared by the members who obviously take pride. I always liked coming to the dances and seeing the oldsters get their groove on. They have fun and good on them. Leave it to the young party poopers to twiddle their fingers at home. If you volunteer to work Oktoberfest you get some coupons toward free beer and food but truly, it is fun to volunteer because most people you'll encounter there are fun and know how to act decent in public, even when on the lash! HA! The one thing I did not like (it's been a couple of years since I volunteered)--on two occasions I was assigned to work at the bar and sling beer. On both occasions I showed up, asked what to do and after some confusion I was put in those spots and after working them for a bit, someone showed up (not the same person) who was rather rude to me being there and sent me off like a misbehaved child to somewhere else. Um, I was doing what I was told to do and doing very well at it. When I worked the bar the gentleman in charge told the crabby coordinator that I was doing pretty good for a newbie and was happy to keep me on. I ended up slinging beer an hour or so later and that was fun and very busy, making the evening fly by. I really enjoyed it! Later that hat year they treated all the volunteers to a visit to the Dali museum and dinner at the Hofbrau Haus in St. Pete. We even had cocktails on the bus. It was a great time. The next year I was put on beer slinging and again, myself and another volunteer were chased away. I was sent to check IDs but they already had enough people and told me so. I had my tickets for free goodies and debating saying "to hell with this nonsense" and just bugging off to enjoy the festivities without working but I waited and observed and once one of the beer lines looked out of control I jumped in again and helped keep the line moving. This time no one interfered and the people I worked with told me there were happy for my help. (and now, you can't drink beer all day while you work) So yeah, there are members of this club who think they are elite and can treat volunteers like crap and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I joined after the first incident and stayed on but I suspect others do not return because of this attitude problem. And like any social club or fraternal organization, there are cliques and some are rather obnoxious. I made the mistake of falling in with one of them and then feeling heartbroken when I was bluntly informed that I didn't fit in with them after all (they were offended by a fart joke--insert eye roll) so I found a new place to sit at future events and found a nice crew who told the occasional fart joke or two themselves and had some great times with people who knew how to laugh and have fun. So join! You will enjoy it if you go in prepared. If you are part of the leadership of the German American Society you might want to think about how some of your coordinators treat volunteers. Instead of sneering at someone working at the bar perhaps consider saying "I'm so sorry. We're going to have to put you at a different location because of blah blah blah" or maybe just accept that another coordinator already beat you to assigning someone to the bar so your best buddy Hilda, to whom you promised the gig, will go have to work another station for a few hours.

It's fantastic and you'll leave feeling like you've gotten a real workout. This past Summer Camp was the second time we enrolled our little one and she was always excited to go. They watched out for all the kids in the pool and made sure all the kids are respectful of each other. We enrolled her in Volleyball just recently and so far, so good.

This is an overdue review! When my fiancé (and now wife) and I were planning our wedding I told her…read moreI wanted us to learn how to dance so we could do a little more than just sway, although there's nothing wrong with the classic sway. She, however, has never been a fan of the idea of dance lessons and just has a lot of anxiety related to dancing. As a gift for Valentine's Day, I believe, she surprised me with private dance lessons here at Marino. We both showed up not sure what to expect as we've never gone to a dance studio. I must say we were both very pleased. Cindie Marino, one of the owners, worked with our somewhat limited timeline, a couple of months, to create a dance that would look beautiful that we could also feel confident doing come wedding day. We had numerous sessions with Cindie and she made us both very comfortable while learning. There's something to be said about a place that welcomes you like family. If you're looking for private lessons or a group class atmosphere I would recommend Marino Dance Club. Cindie and Jose really love what they're doing here. Thank you Marino for the memories!

The specials were shrimp and grits, short rib w mashed potatoes, smoked brisket w Mac n cheese. I asked for the steak tips as an appetizer. My dad and I got the brisket w Mac and mom got the short rib. We also asked for two sides of broccolini because none of the dishes came with a vegetable. Wth. Everything came out at the same time, so I said wow I guess we missed the appetizer round. And the server was like yeah everything was ready at the same time. (yeah, it does that when you don't specify, and you submit the order that way. Duh. Don't do that.) My dad and I took our first bites and the food was completely lukewarm. I was upset and embarrassed. I apologized to my folks and I stood up and walked around to find our server. I told her our food is completely cold. She took our plates back and I'm sure they just microwaved everything. My dad said the brisket was now chewy, where it had been tender prior to them reheating our food. At least the Mac and cheese was better. The sauce was hot and creamy and actually edible now. I don't know how this happened. There was one other table of 8 and one dude at the bar. How did our food come out all together at once, and how on earth did it come out cold? Like what are you guys doing back there? I have NEVER had a bad experience here. This was so bad, I apologized to my folks and I told them we don't have to come here again. Of course they said they're fine and that this place usually is great. But I'm serious. Why are we paying these high sticker prices for cold food to be microwaved? I have one more reservation at this place for dinner next week. If they don't wow us, I'm not coming back.
