Wolf Kohler's Crescent City Brewhouse is not German in its cooking, but Wolf himself is. He comes from a line of six generations of German brewmasters, and makes all his own beer in this busy, fun restaurant on the riverfront in the French Quarter. That's all reason enough for a celebration of Oktoberfest at the Brewhouse.
Here's the three-course dinner menu for the first week. It ranges between $27 and $29 for the whole package.
House Cured Salmon
Chilled marinated potatoes, shaved fennel, olives and capers
~~~~~
Veal Schnitzel
Breaded and fried veal, French fries, asparagus and lemon
~or~
Slow Roasted Duck
Slow cooked duck quarter with bacon and beer braised red cabbage, crispy crushed fingerling potatoes with Red Stallion vinegar pickled onions
~or~
Grilled Louisiana Redfish
Napa cabbage and crawfish, roasted potatoes and a warm bacon and black eyed pea vinaigrette
~~~~~
Black Forest Cake
Chocolate cake layered with cherries and chocolate ganache finished with caramel and raspberry sauces and whipped cream

The menu changes every week. Live music every night, too. The place looks touristy, but all tourists should eat and quaff as well as they (and we locals, too) do here. One more thing: the special Oktoberfest beer is ready for you to try. It's a copper-colored brew with a light hoppiness.
