Now I didn't get a chance to eat or even get a drink so I can comment on that but I have never been treated so bad in a place (I call it place because I cant tell if its more bar or more restaurant.) To start be careful, the parking lot is very tiny. If you have the opportunity to park somewhere else I would take it, considering the only people coming out of this place have been drinking since 10am. We walk in the fount door, stand there a second and nothing happens. A group of people sit in a dimly lit room watching Sunday sports, no one acknowledges our presents especially any waiting staff. This is our first time here so we see a sign that ways something like patio and restaurant. We meander our way up a flight of stairs to a large patio area where many people are eating and drinking. Still no acknowledgment, waiters and waitress walking right by. I explore the patio myself to see that there is no seating, wait a little longer and decide to go back down stairs where there was seating. See this is when it gets good, we seat ourselves still with no service. I get up grab menus from the fount door at a station that looks like some type of hostess should be standing to great people coming in. We wait a little longer looking over the menu not knowing if they even serve food in this area of the bar. I decided to get up and ask the bar tender, an older germen woman, how we go about ordering food. She begins yelling at me about how shes busy and how she will get to me when shes got time. This was loud enough for my girlfriend to hear all the way on the other side of the room. We had enough and left at this point, maybe I'm just spoiled in America when I'm not accosted by the service staff at a restaurant. You know maybe its normal in Germany to order some schnitzel with a side of bruised ribs, toughens you up a bit.
Pros: none
Cons: everything else
