I, along with several collegues, made our way in rush hour traffic to enjoy some german food. It was a warm night for the season and I could see as I pulled in that the patio was filling up quickly. Thankfully there were still about three tables empty. I went inside and as I approched the receptionist, a waitress walked behind her and said, ""DO NOT put anyone else outside, I don't want anymore"". I'm thinking....here we go. So when the receptionist asked, I told her that the party wanted to sit outside. Now, I kept in mind that the weather was unexpected and staffing for outdoor seating would reflect that (longer wait). That was until I saw the dining room. There were 6, count em, 6 people in the dining room. That negates any lag in service. You would think that anyone working the dining room would jump at the chance for a table. Anyway, once the pregnant teenager finished cleaning her finger nails, she informed me that the patio was closed for a private party. I then asked, "" the entire patio is closed?"" Looking dumbfounded, she said ""yeah"" So I took a table inside. Then the waitress (another minor) brought over the menus and silverware and dropped them in a pile on the sticky table and left to join the chickens cackling at the receptionist's area.
Pros: still can't find one
Cons: Service, service, service
