When I went by there, I've decided to make a reservation for Friday evening. I wanted a specific table, which I told the waiter, to which I received an interesting reply: Good evening, I would like to reserve this table for tomorrow evening. I don't know if the table is available tomorrow evening. But I can ask, but I have to go to the reception. If you would be so kind. Will you wait? Yes, I can wait for you. I've clarified that the table is free, but I cannot promise you. What do you mean? I can't promise you 100%, but I can promise you 90%. Have I heard you correctly, you promise me a table at 90%, althour it's free? You know, tomorrow is Friday and you want a table at the most intense time. So what? But don't worry, if it doesn't work out with the table you want, I'll find you another table. In a restaurant where the minimum bill for two people is 200 euros, you can probably afford this kind of table assignment. So it's time to find a new atmosphere love, and Berlin is a mecca of atmospheres. Berlin, 14.07.2022

Restaurant began filling up quickly approaching 7pm, so would suggest reserving a table. Excellent food and wine menu with friendly and efficient staff. Some complaints regarding slow service, but we were very happy with the pace of the evening. Minestrone soup was fabulous and the Chateau Briand was excellent, served with fresh grilled vegetables. Highly recommended for business or pleasure!

The music was far too loud which even after multiple requests to lower it, did not change, just got louder. Our Main course, after 2 hours of waiting and asking, was forgotten, which was their explanation. They were kind about it and sent a free dessert, however a little too late. It is a great restaurant, but the service is in great need of improvement!!!!

When I went there, were a few wines in the list that were out of stock. The food was great well prepared and cooked. The vegetables fresh and tasty. The attention by the staff marvellous. The desert selection was succulent. Recommend this place to keep on your list.

Tasty food and a cosy atmosphere with pictures of actors hanging allover the place. The potato soup was excellent and the service very friendly. read more Tasty food and a cosy atmosphere with pictures of actors hanging allover the place. The potato soup was excellent and the service very friendly.
