Strike 1: Location. Very awkward, hard-to-reach parking lot bordered by two VERY busy one-way streets. Strike 2: Service. Visited around 2:00 p.m. on a weekday; very few customers. We were our waiter's only table and he was extremely inattentive. One waiter stupidly stared at me as I exited the restroom, and as I made my way back to my table, he arose from a stool near the bar and crossed right in front of my path, pretending to not notice me. I called him on that immediately. Strike 3: Food. Mediocre, and the rye bread was quite stale. Limited authentic German menu; the "American" side of the menu is almost as large as the "German" side! Strike 4: Cleanliness. The ceiling is disgustingly dirty, with dust-bunnies hanging from the air vents and black dirt surrounding them. Highly unpleasant. I'm third-generation Bavarian, and I wasn't amused or impressed with Gerst Haus. I may not bother returning. less
