Regrettably, the restaurant commented one of the 2 reviews saying that one would have been enough. We disagree with this, as being 5 people, each of us shall have the right to express their own opinion. We took a 5 course menu for five people and a wine paring for everybody (wine paring 21€ each). The wine paring consisted of one white wine, which was paired with the first 3 courses, and one red wine which was paired with the 4th course. The white wine was decent and we judged it adequate for the 1st course, though we would have expected different wines to be paired with the 2nd and 3rd course (what is a wine paring otherwise The red wine was so bad that we didn't drink any of it. A quick google search showed us that it was a 6€/bottle wine. All in all, we paid 21x5=105€ for: 2 bottles of decent white wine, 1 bottle of undrinkable red wine (completely left there), 1 bottle of water, 5 bad espressos (average/low quality of espresso in Germany). To our complaints, the staff only expressed concerns on whether we would still pay the bill (which of course we did). The food was great though, it's a shame that the wine, but most of all the carelessness of the staff, caused the rating to be so low.

Having been invited by friends I was surprised to find good quality food and wine at fair prices. It may have been...a one off but the meat seems to better suit the chef than the fish.

Instead it is most of the times a cacophony of conflicting, overlapping tastes. In addition the most important ingredients of the dish...(octopus and shrimps in our case) were only of low-medium level. Service again would want to be high level, but if you do not leave the bottle of wine on the table, you must be sure to refill the customer glass as soon as it is empty, not 10 minutes later.
