Literally whatever you'd want after a night out, or if you're cruising through Charlottenburg and you need Verstärkung before hitting the clubs. The service is fast and friendly, very easy-going all around, smoker-friendly if you need it but also open air. Paella here is good, and try the Dateln in Speckmantel. :-)

As I recall from my meal, I did their ribeye ordered medium. First thing I had noticed was the interesting choice of dried spices it was topped off with, and while it cut pretty easy it definitely was on the chewy side and had this weird fishy after taste (almost as if they cooked a fish on the same pan they cooked my steak). For sides, a mac n cheese and a side of green beans all to share. Mac n cheese a bit on the soupy side... meh, nice try. Green beans... definitely not so fresh. Service... One dude manning the entire place it seemed. He was the one who greeted us and waited our table. While service at any dine in restaurant in Germany in general is pretty slow, for all I know it could've been our waiter cooking the steaks himself as he was literally the only person I noticed working in the entire establishment. Anyways, not sure I got much else for ya. They do have English menus available here, but prices are not up to date so you have to refer to the regular menu in German to try and figure it out. Can't say I would come back around for this one, thus the 2 star. 'Til next time. 219/365

I can only give four stars for now, as I didn't order what I should havethe filet steak…read more I got the Hüftsteak and it was pretty good, although more rare than medium, and had enough fat/tendons in it that there were pieces I couldn't chew. But I'm not a steak expert, and my husband found it very tender and easy to eat. I forget that steak is not really my thing unless it is a good (read: more expensive) cut. I should really stick to chicken or Schweinefilet unless I want to get the good stuff. The beilagen we orderedBratkartoffeln, Foliekartoffel, roasted onionwere very good. Plentiful, nicely spiced. The mushroom sauce I ordered was so-lala, not bad, but nothing to rave about. The salad was positively awfuldrenched in a not-nice dressing, the iceberg was limp even as it arrived at the table. But, how much can you complain for the price We went tonighta Fridayaround 7.30 and the place was not terribly busy, but they had enough to do. The staff were friendly and the food came out very quickly. I ordered a white wine which could have been colder, but who knows how long a white wine stays chilled at this temperature (around 30° I think) anyway. Service was prompt and efficient. At some point I was eating around the rawer bits in my steak and a servernot the one who'd been serving uscame and asked if I'd like it to be put back on the grill, which I declinedI was not hungry enough to finish it anyway. Next time, though, I will probably order the filet and probably medium well instead of medium. Not only for the price, but in general, a very angenehme experience. We will be back soon to try out different cuts of meat and for sure leave the salad (and possibly sauce) out of the picture. Two people, two 500 gram steaks, five sides and two drinks plus two sauces came out to just over EUR40. You get a better steak at Blockhouse, sure, but San Diego didn't seem to want to kick us out of our seats the second we were finished, unlike some more upscale places. The situation of the restaurant is also very scenic and relaxing. We were greeted as we entered and bid adieu as we left; we felt very welcome and comfortable there. Altogether a very nice experience. Will update here after our next visit.

The "pulpo a la gallega", crunchy octopus? it had a plastic texture and the portion was really small, with potatoes overheated on the grill. But the wine selection was really good as well as the Crema Catalana / panacotta desert. Maybe i will give them another chance but i will not spend again almost 100€ for 2 people with this quality. From other side, the service and the atmosphere where very nice.

Enjoyed the razor clams - rarely on menus - very simple with olive oil; amazing duck confit with carrots, celery; fantastic pulpo al gallego. Larger portions than usual Spanish tapas. Service was spotty - the waitress seemed out to lunch and when we ordered a bottle of wine she brought a different bottle already open explaining that the one we ordered was too warm. Fun to watch the chef clean up shirtless to techno music - sooooooo berlin! Will be back for more.

From the outside, the place doesn't look too promising - and might I mention, based on the interior…read moredecor, I was convinced the food would be nothing more than mediocre at best. I ordered a rib eye (medium-rare) with a baked potato because I figured if the steak was too bad to eat, I'd be safe with the baked potato; I mean who can mess up a baked potato after all, right?! Well, turns out I didn't even need the darn potato after all. The steak was cooked so well, and had so much flavor that I ate almost the entire steak! Now, I'm sure this isn't an award winning cut of steak, but it's way better than any place like Block House. Not to mention, really cheap for a steakhouse. Regardless as to how the place looks, the food and the service was impeccable for a quiet, casual dinner.

Maybe I need to try other items as well. The mushrooms were fried in batter and I wasn't too crazy about them. The goulash soup wasn't fresh but the steak was good.

I honestly don't understand why this place has such poor reviews…read more I came here this past weekend and had a really enjoyable experience. Firstly, they offer free chips and salsa! It's seldom when ANY restaurant offers anything free here, and while the chips and salsa we're a diet sized portion (literally, no exaggeration whatsoever), they were a pleasant surprise. I ordered the chicken fajitas, which wasn't authentic Mexican food, but probably the closest I've ever found to be Mexican here in Berlin, and it was actually really good. I also ordered a strawberry margarita. I drank about a quarter of it and while it tasted ok, I tasted literally no alcohol in it. When the waitress came around to check up on us, we mentioned the lack of alcohol in the margarita, she apologized and said she'd take it back to have more alcohol added to it. While it isn't really authentic Mexican, it is pretty good Mexican-ish food, and friendly, attentive waitresses. I will definitely come back.
