If you love food and are in the area, you should definitely book a table. We were there for lunch because there is usually a set menu at dinner and we wanted to choose our own dishes, but we will definitely be back for dinner next time we are in Berlin. The food is absolutely fantastic. Just look at the pictures. They are a work of art and absolutely delicious. Each dish has so much flavor and is unique in its own way. We especially enjoyed the desserts. The staff are of course also exceptional and very nice. When we were there, they made a small mistake with the cutlery, which we wouldn't have even noticed if they hadn't apologized to us. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: €100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Vegetarian offerings: Large vegetarian selection

The food was great, although the bonus course from the waiter 's mistake, the tomato made from gazpacho was average (not being gazpacho loves is why we didn 't order it). All of the other courses were fantastic and we must pass our compliments to the chef.

The only reason this restaurant doesn't get 5 stars is one fault in which one dish came out with live little bugs inside it. They replaced it of course, and it's rather understandable when the ingredients are so fresh but it's not something you'd expect from a restaurant like this, with this kind of price tag. All in all, I'll definitely come back!

The taste is relatively flat note across all courses and most of them are too salty, which may have covered other tastes the dish intended to bring. Also the truffle oil taste was also dominate in all sauces so the dishes taste very similar throughout. I voiced my concern on the saltiness to the waiter but there was no change at all made to the remaining courses. I guess because the “taste menu” was all pre-fixed so customization or changes were impossible. The waiter also made excuses that it’s because the menu is designed for European taste palete so as an Asian I might not be accustomed to it. I expected more customer sensitivity for a 2 star designation.

I can’t even pick which was the best dish but their wagyu and guinea fowl was definitely the best I ever had. Very speechless with all the food and not to mention the good service and ambiance. Can’t wait to come back!!
