Stopped in for dinner before seeing a play. It's a short walk to Playhouse square. 5:45 on a Thursday. The inside was ear splitting loud - no way to talk in there so we opted to sit outside. The hostess sat us in a field of gravel in the still bright sun. There were two umbrellas but no effort to sit people near them - just weird. We sat in the bright sunshine - fortunately it was spring and not blazing hot. Eventually a young man came and took our drink orders. Then we waited. Eventually a manager say us and asked if we had been waited on. We said yes. He sent a different waitress to take our order again. She brought drinks. 5 minutes later the first guy showed up with drinks. It was a cluster. Food was mediocre. So if you like moronic characters dressed in "German" clothing acting like whatever stereotype of Germans you have this is your place. Cleveland has such great restaurants why would anyone go to a train wreck like Haufbrau House? We won't again.
