If you prefer your Fall celebrations to take place in a beautiful locale, and emphasize traditional seasonal cuisine (rather than oompah music), Shoreline Lake has you covered. From October 3rd through October 19th, the American Bistro will be celebrating Oktoberfest by offering the following specials:

• German Potato Salad $9

• Oktoberfest Fries (warm sauerkraut, bacon, toasted caraway seed & Oktobersauce) $10

• Beer Braised Bratwurst (on a crusty roll with sauerkraut, plus shoestring fries) $18

• Kraut und Corned Beef Sandwich (German seeded rye, corned beef, sauerkraut & Munich Magic sauce, plus shoestring fries) $19

• Schnitzel Sandwich (breaded veal on a soft bun with caper aioli, lettuce & tomato, plus shoestring fries) $19

• Oktoberfest Sliders (3 German spiced grilled Angus beef sliders with Gruyère cheese, toasted mustard seed sauerkraut, caramelized onions & German garlic sauce) $19

• Black Forest Cake (traditional decadent German chocolate cake with cherries, whipped cream & Kirschwasser) $9

And, of course, can't forget the beers:

• Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest Festbier

• Guinness

• Samuel Adams

No yodeling contests. (We promise!) Just a lovely, tranquil dining environment to enjoy classic Fall dishes and treats, as well as a cold one by the water. 

Also, if wanting to partake of these goodies during weekend Brunch, we recommend contacting the Bistro (bistro@shorelinelake.com and 650-965-1745) to make reservations, particularly for large groups.
