Twice I've been here, twice I've been so thoroughly enchanted. Granted, the first time was for an…read moreevent and the second time was a private party. The occasions themselves were sparkling and happy already. But still, how the space grabbed me so from the very first moment. That said, I can't speak for a regular night out. They do close fairly often for private events, which perhaps speaks volumes to how beloved this gentle haunt is. Best to call ahead to make sure they are open.
It's beautiful. Lush and elegant, without feeling like a museum. Inviting...into an era long past but brought back to life, without feeling painfully forced and stiff or awkward. You feel like you're in someone's *really*spectacular* home, the meticulously and most lovingly designed living room of someone's abode, rooms that can be comfortably walked around and cherished. The first time there was a live band. I was in heaven. The second time, there were stacks of records piping out tunes. I was charmed. I don't know whether the record player was a touch provided by the private party, or whether that is a staple of the venue. So many questions...
I'm going to find an excuse to head back to try out their menu, experience a "normal" night out, and see if their service team is just as warm and friendly to the public. Because if so, it's bound to be another delightful evening. And Frankfurt is all the richer for a piece of poetry and throwback to the golden era as this. Proof that there are places with utter character and flair in Ffm.
