My wife and I staid at the Atlantic hotel for a week recently. This was our first trip to Germany…read moreand obviously to the Atlantic Hotel. Let me first say that the Hotel is beautiful which carries over to the Deck 8 restaurant situated on the first floor of the hotel. We ate lunch shortly after arriving from Hamburg. To our surprise and delight, everyone spoke fairly good English at the hotel. Ordering from the menu was a bit confusing, but we managed. I ordered the beef with potatoes and my wife had a salad. This isn't the type of place we would usually eat lunch, but we were very hungry and this seemed like a safe bet. It was definitely a bit pricier than I would normally pay, but certainly worth it. My beef was cooked perfectly and the vegetable and potato sides were delicious. My wife's salad was very good as well.
The strangest things about eating in Germany was the fact that they do not offer to bring you water. If you order water, it is bottled or sparkling water and is not cheap. I realize this is a cultural thing so I'm not holding it against them. Even though we did not have kids with us, I thought it was cool that they had a kids play area off to one side that was full of toys and puzzles. If I'm ever in Kiel again, I would recommend Deck 8.
