It kind of feels like you are walking into a school cafeteria, but I don't mind it. I guess that's an aspect of German restaurants. I came here in December so no one was sitting outside but it looks like there is plenty of seating outside for the warmer months. I like that the waitresses are in costume. It helps authenticate the experience, as much as you can in Ohio... Menu items are a little pricey but they have good deals on beer. A large stein was about $5. Soft pretzels are a must! Parking is tricky. You either have to park at a metered spot on the street or valet, as with most places downtown.
