| - Years ago, I came here quite a bit. Lots of fun, good food and the service was fine. That was years ago. The original owners have, from what I've been told, turned the place over to their sons, and the differences are appalling. The food has gone sharply downhill, aside from the fish sandwiches, which still are a major draw during the lenten season. Food is often cold, improperly prepared, or simply wrong. Different servers almost every time you visit ( high turnover is never a good sign for a restaurant), and an interesting phenomenon: at least one urinal in the men's room is almost always out of order. The bar is another matter. Many of the bar staff I was familiar with are gone, replaced with younger, less experienced bartenders who are more interested in socializing with customers than serving them. Additionally, how does any bar worth visiting run out of any major brand of alcohol on a Friday night??? This happened on at least two of my most recent visits. I always try to give a local place the benefit of the doubt, but I've run out of patience. Maybe the sons will sell the place (another rumor I've heard recently), and give someone who might care a chance. Either way, I'll miss the old Kretzler's.
