The interior is quite interesting, and the menu seemed ok though rather expensive for Berlin (the only other people in there when we arrived were the types of West Germans whose arrival in town in the last couple years has destroyed Berlin). They made suggestions for what on the menu would be kid friendly, then proceeded to bring the kids food so hot they couldn't eat it. When the kids finished their drinks quickly to subdue the fire in their mouths we asked them for water for the kids and they refused to serve it to them--so we just gave them their water bottles.The food sounded interesting on the menu but was really small and not particularly tasty, horribly overpriced for what it was; in even a more expensive city like New York the food would have been much higher quality if similarly priced.Service was arrogant and slow, and any restaurant that won't give kids water on a bill well over 100 Euros is beyond the pale. Since no one goes there we can expect that even with the rather expensive interior it will follow so many others in the neighborhood and be quickly out of business--let's hope something better follows!
