Rhein Haus

Rhein Haus

Denver, CO

My process when writing a blog entry is to investigate. I look at who the Chef's are, and what their mission statement is for their business. I blame the idiot box a.k.a television for leading me to this place. I watch it too much. I need to get busy with my future goals so I won't have time to watch so much t.v., but right now I am like the other millions of zombies glued in front of our flat screens. I blame the show Top Chef on Bravo network. This season they are in my state of Colorado, so I was a zombie times 10 just letting what's left of my brains ooze into nothingness. Well, as the season episodes go on, they wind up at Rhein Haus to learn how German food is prepared. Of course they had to interpret it in their own way, but the fact this restaurant was the launching pad for creative genius, I had to check it out. 

I wasn't impressed with the meal or experience. I tried to look up anything about who is cooking at Rhein Haus, but I have to send a e-mail to their PR. I was so not impressed I had no intentions to write about this place. Then something happened. I was going through my notes in my iPhone because I keep a lot of my food and menu ideas on there. I came across a entry dated 1/15/18. I open it and below is exactly what I wrote, it's like a poem, but not. I am so happy I wrote something because this place was Forgettable!

The woodwork is intense
Bocce ball in the middle
White people
1 Black server (we locked eyes) get out
I need to go to the bathroom
It’s happy hour
Full menu (need to come for dinner)
Don’t have ipa on draft -limit beers on draft
Didn’t ask for my id!
Bartenders are not personal and do not try to make eye contact or conversation. Very dry attitudes oblivious to the customer and do not say goodbye or thank you when customers leave. Didn’t ask how my food tasted and didn’t check to ask if I was doing alright. Asked for silverware and she points to the stein like I’m dumb, didn’t mention that is where their silverware is. Weird
Anti social vibe
1 is talking to waitress and the other is cleaning. No human presence at the bar. The 1 guy keeps walking past me never looking at me once and never asks me if I’m ok. Not busy at all. My bartender is leaving now and that’s that. But I got a water refill without asking from the 1 no eye contact guy.
I would hate being a bartender but I hate being the customer of someone else who also hates being a bartender even more.
I pushed my half eaten food in front of me with napkins and my wallet out, not once did he ask if I liked the food, or take this cold ass food away from me. I need my check ASAP
The most anti MLK day ever
