We enjoyed a table for three at the door, where we had a splendid view of the restaurant’s bar and two large rooms, as well as the energetic owner managing a well-trained and...experienced staff and stopping by to chat with neighborhood regulars. The food was amazing. From the seasonal menu, “Ragout von der Hirschkeule mit Wildpreiselbeeren in der Williamsbirne und Semmelknödel” (Ragout of deer with wild cranberries in a pear and bread dumpling) was hearty and excellent for a chilly January evening. “Filetspitzen Stroganoff mit hausgemachten, gebratenen Spätzle” (Beef Stroganoff with homemade, roasted spaetzle) was scrumptious and it would have been great to have a few more spaetzle to absorb the rich sauce. “Zanderfilet in Rosmarin-Olivenöl gebraten, dazu Vogerlsalat mit geriebenem Schafskäse, gerösteten Kürbiskernen und steirischem Kürbiskernöl” (Crispy filet of pike perch fried in rosemary-olive oil with salad of lambs-lettuce in pumpkin seed dressing and grated feta cheese” was a lighter and perfectly cooked choice. The house red wine went well with all dishes. For dessert, we were tempted by the “Österreichischer Kaiserschmarrn mit Rumrosinen und Zwetschkenröster”, a celebrated “Kaiserschmarrn” cut up and caramelized pancake with rum raisins, served with plump compote. It was a bread pudding that took nearly an hour to arrive. We ate every crumb. Despite the high ceilings and two large groups, table conversation was pretty easy. The restaurant takes foreign credit cards.

A very cozy restaurant with an exiting a la carte menu and a good wine cart. Dont forget to buy the home made...apple juice for the kids, but also for your selves. Our only regret is that we did not book for more than one evening, and book your table in good advance. This place is popular by Berliners. We will defently be back, when we are in Berlin.

Don’t get me wrong the place is cosy, decorated in classic style, with good service and dishes to choose from, cooked well. Nonetheless,...It’s not a of a “Michelin” quality. We ordered: Asparagus soup, Lambs lettuce salad, Goat cheese salad with grit confit, Mum’s braised beef roll in red wine with potato dumplings, Roasted spinach dumplings with sage butter and matures Austrian mountain cheese. Pretty tasty, simple, fatty dishes Viennese cuisine as it is. The salad soup phase was all good, no complains, but the main dish one could have been a slightl more sophisticated( and healthier). Pretty inexpensive. Hovever, for the ones feeling less picky or just in mood for heavy and tasty Viennese food the place is for you. Kind of in mixed feelings. Probably you should give it a shot.

My caramelized goat's cheese starter was clever but let down by over oily, over dressed lettuce salad. My wife's Stroganoff and spaetzli just adequate but my schnitzel was...a disgrace. A bit of background here...lam Viennese by birth, raised and fed by a mother that would berate our butcher if the veal she was presented with wasn't top quality and wasn't perfectly cut. I also appreciate that at the price point of this restaurant expecting premium milk veal too big an ask. The meat being used however, though veal at some (distant) time in the past was grey, tough stringy and flavourless. Meat to breading ratio (in flavour of the breading) completely wrong with no cohesion between the two making it difficult and unpleasant to eat. The accompanying potato salad wasn't lukewarm as advertised but was mushy, too wet with a slimy mouthfeel. Also no cucumber salad to be seen. Have eaten better schnitzel at chain restaurants where often pork is offered in lieu of veal just because quality pork is a cost effective alternative to the always more expensive quality veal. Finally, if my schnitzel on the day had been fried in lard as it ought to be, l would eat my proverbial hat. Good wine and drink list and adequate, though rushed and inattentive service with used glasses and bottles remaining uncleared. Michelin needs to re visit and reassess.
