The interior is similarly impressive. The restaurant had a special New Year menu and even though it was...completely full the quality of the food was great and the service excellent. A lovely place to spend New Year's eve

We had dinner on a Thursday night and the place wasn't full. The hall is spacious with a nice ambiance. They have a...daily menu not on the website which you can order either as a prixfix great value or alacarte just like in the regular menu. Food is a bit hard to define, I would call it creativeEuropean with with a clear Asian influence. Everything we tried was very good. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Service is a bit stiff but efficient. I wouldn't travel here specially from the other side of town, but if you're in the neighborhood, and you're looking for a bit more upscale experience without breaking the bank, this is a good choice

I have to say that we were not disappointed by the choice we made. Having...been lucky enough to visit a few Michelin starred restaurants in the past, I can honestly say that this is up there with them. The service was first class, the setting itself beautiful, with a lovely art deco exterior and opulent but not flashy interior and as for the food, well that was absolutely wonderful. Stand out dishes for me were the carpaccio of veal and the trio of pork, but everything on the menu looked fabulous. Unfortunately we missed puddings as we were too full, but will definitely be sampling next time. Another nice feature was the wine list, dominated by German wines which made a change from the usual offerings we get at home. The waiter recommended a lovely red, that normally I would have never chosen. If you are in Berlin and want really high quality dining in wonderful surroundings, I would put this place top of my list. Cannot wait until our next visit

The food was good, a bit over-the-top; a little more down-to-earth approach would have been nice. The wine was very good. read more The food was good, a bit over-the-top; a little more down-to-earth approach would have been nice. The wine was very good.
