Haus to Pass on This One

Mr. Ref, this last month we went to Haus and it was not the best experience.  The meal started with a couple of appetizers and the appetizers were actually pretty good.  I believe we had the Pretzel Twists and the Bacon Wrapped Bockwurst Skewers and I think most everyone liked them.  I preferred the Bacon Wrapped Bockwurst Skewers.  The décor was not bad, it kind of looked like, what I would think, a German pub might look like, partly because the World Cup Soccer highlights were playing on the big screen TV's and we all know the European's like soccer.

Then the trouble started, it took awhile for our entire party to arrive, but once they did our orders were taken within a reasonable amount of time.  But it took too long for the orders to be delivered and a few were incorrect and most all of them were not even very warm, some were cool, and all were suppose to be hot or very warm when served.  I had the Sausage Dinner Plate which consisted of Bratwurst & Knackwurst served atop skillet red cabbage, with German potato salad and white wine pears.  I believe the Knackwurst seemed like it was pulled out of the package and served as is, and the Bratwurst seemed over cooked.  The red cabbage was good but I have had better and the German potato salad was also good.  Nothing was much to write home about.  I was really excited when I found out we were going to a German place because I really like that kind of food and I was disappointed with Haus.

As I mentioned earlier, we did have problems with the service after we ordered our meals and the issue continued until we left.  Towards the end we asked for the manager and she was no better that the waitress.  As a matter of fact she was worse, because she was the manager and should have tried to do everything in her power to make us as happy as she could, and the way she conducted herself was very unprofessional.   I would give it a 1 out of 5, only because the appetizers were pretty good.
