Came here on a friend's recommendation. After paying for (mandatory) valet parking, we went in and asked for a table for two. Hostess looks at me as if I am off my rocker for thinking that we could get seated for dinner (at 9 pm!) and says, \"We aren't taking names any more tonight, but if you want to wait about an hour, we switch to open seating.\"\n\nOpen seating, as she further explains, means that at that point, we will have to wander the restaurant looking for an empty table, fight our way to it, hope no one else grabs it before we can get there, and then wait to have a server notice us. \n\nWe took one glance at the frat-boys and already-drunk cougars and decided to try one of the other places near by. \n\nI don't care if they have the best German food on Earth (and looking at the priorities of the clientele, I'm guessing they don't) such lousy service is not going to win my business when there are so many other options in this town.
