The menu even made reference to eluded it was similar but when we saw the sauce on the steak we knew without tasting it, it was not the same. We ate it, it was fine but the steak was tough even though it was cooked fairly rare ( per our request) and thinly sliced. The sauce was salty; not my favorite. Despite my experience, I was surprised to see it was fairly busy for a Monday night; seemed to be popular with the after work crowd. It was my second steak dinner in Berlin and both were a bit disappointing and maybe I'm just spoiled with my steaks as I'm not used to eating a tough piece of meat as I prefer a marbled high quality steak such as a ribeye or tomahawk cut I will stick to braised meat in Germany going forward. If you go, try something other than steak.

Came here for brunch about a month ago when the bf and I were in Berlin on vacation. We decided to…read morecome here because of its high ratings on Yelp. We got in just before noon, and we were glad we did because the place got completely full soon after we got seated. The menus were a little confusing as we don't speak any German and the menus had some English pages mixed in with the German pages (the little footnotes were what really confused me, but then I realized that they were using them as markers for different types of allergens). However, it didn't seem that hard to figure out as most of the offerings for brunch offered either cold cuts, cheese, vegetarian spreads, etc. with pastries and such. I opted for their normal sized vegetarian offering (you can ask for a vegan one also) along with coffee and a 20 mL cup of red currant juice. The bf got an order of their scrambled eggs with bacon, along with a 40 mL cup of orange juice. The vegetarian offering I got was amazing. There were a few different slices of cheese, 2 different types of savory spreads (one yogurt based, and the other was some sort of curried spread), and a bunch of fresh fruits. We got a very generous sized basket of bread to share, and it was just a perfect and somewhat light meal. The bf's eggs were delicious, and our juices were fresh and tasy as well. We could easily see why this place was so popular with the locals. Would definitely come back here if I ever happened to find myself in Berlin again.

While in Berlin, I stumbled across this place called Bastard through browsing reviews on Yelp, I…read moredecided to call in here not only because of the good reviews but the fact the place is called Bastard, which is a name which probably wouldn't be allowed in my home-country of the United Kingdom. This place is located in quite a rough area of Berlin, as I recall it was on the 248 bus route, yet buses in Berlin is a system I've struggled with mainly down to having so many stops without any proper signage for example one bus might go from one stop, another from another. This place isn't in a great location as I said, you can even find some graphiti on the walls as you go in to the small inside seating area. The menu was quite restrictive and authoritarian in the sense you couldn't personalise your dishes or tweak them, despite it being fresh food which was a shame and alongside the location, the major flaw of this place. For example, they had a meal with Fried eggs and other things which I didn't want, and they refused to just do fried eggs. I ordered Scrambled Eggs with Bacon, this was quite good quality and a much better breakfast than I could have had at my Hilton hotel in Berlin, but still I found the side dishes to go with it such as beans and the choice of that to be poor, they only had "fresh" bread, gluten bread, which didn't taste too great. I also was impressed with the range of fresh juices which were quite cheap at 2.40 euros each for 0.2L, I ordered a mixed juice as I recall it contained pumpkin and apple and a few other things, and I enjoyed it, albeit my first choice being a pear juice was sold out. The waitress seemed friendly enough but it was frustrating they had run out of products such as the pear juice and couldn't slightly amend their dishes and they didn't have gluten free bread. The place inside was small and really busy, it had an old-fashioned theme to it, it wasn't the nicest place in terms of décor, it is probably something one would expect to find in Manchester's Northern Quarter for example, which is my home town. The food and beverage mentioned was good quality, but the location and inability to slightly personalise your dish and the selection overall was quite poor. Was the food worth the wait to get a table and my trip to find it? I'd guess so, but still due to the major flaws I still feel Bastard doesn't deserve anything other a three star rating.

Overall, this restaurant is relying on its name and history instead of food, quality and service…read more Food: we tried the venison goulash and the roasted goose. The goose was so overcooked it was like goose jerky. The venison goulash was decent, but by no means exceptional. Service: rather mechanical and simply checking boxes instead of actually paying attention to customers. For example, we told her waiter we were ready to order. But instead of taking our order, he said wait I must first bring you bread. He disappeared, brought us bread, and then allowed us to order. Ambience: classy ands classic.

Our waiter was struggling to keep up. Drinks: ordered a beer because I don't like wine Food: we wanted to order but told wait till we get bread. Okay. I asked the waiter goose or wiener and before I finished the word, he said the goose for sure. I ordered the goose. The plate was lovely to look at. The goose was overcooked and so dry that it was so tough to cut it and eat, thank goodness for the sauce or it would have been inedible. The cabbage was the best part of the dish. The kale was overcooked mush. The puff of dough was interesting texture to the topping. Worse goose I have ever eaten. Bathroom: downstairs. Cool staircase. Clean until you went into the stall. The stall had toilet paper all over the floor. Restaurant: very clean

Simple and beautiful. This is a perfect setting for a date that you want impress with simple elegance. Don't miss the detail of the unique bee hive chandelier. I won't tell you but you'll be impressed again. The Food! Wow wow wow. Fish in coconut sauce, potatoes, vegan spazel w a Jamaican twist, fried mac and cheese!!!, jerk chicken thats hotttttt! but melts in your mouth, and cornbread! The fish was seasoned with somebodies Jamaican mamas cupboard. It was sort of mashed into a almost chunky soup. But a must try! So delicious the way the sauce and soup made this flavorful party in your mouth. Salty and creamy. The fried mac and cheese.... damn. Nuff said. Be careful with the jerk it's spppppiiceyyy! But the chicken melts in your mouth. Omg a perfect jerk recipe!!! The potatoes were my favorite!! Yummy crispy but chewy well seasoned golding potatoes. Exquisite. Everything was excellent! Service to the food. The owner was gracious and walked around with a genuine smile taking care of the place and guest. Ill pay another visit before I leave LA. Dont doubt this. Just go see for yourself.

They have been closed for rennovations and just opened again recently, so I'm glad I got to stop by here while on vacation. The restaurant was pretty packed on a Saturday evening, but we were able to grab the other end of a long table to eat at. They currently don't have any menus in English, but the waitress was happy to explain dishes we couldn't understand. The menu is filled with some starters, tapas, burgers, and desserts. We decided to share a variety of items and got 3 tapas (fried chicken, pulled pork, and bao bun) and the triple cheeseburger with bacon. Out of the 3 tapas, I enjoyed the fried chicken the most. It was moist, fried nicely, and not oily. The coleslaw that accompanied it was also good. The pulled pork was also tasty, but I wasn't a huge fan of pairing it with humus. My least favorite was the bao bun. I thought the bun was way too thick...so thick I actually thought it was 2 buns stuck together. The pork however was cooked well and very tender. I enjoyed the triple cheeseburger with bacon. I liked how the burger came out medium rare on a sizzling pan. We left it on there a few minutes and enjoyed eating it medium-medium well. The bacon, guacamole, lettuce, and tomatoes were also on the side, so you can add as much or as little to your burger as you liked. It was definitely customizable! I washed my food down with a mojito, which was just okay. A little too much mint for my liking. I probably should have just ordered from their beer menu! Service was great, with our two waitresses being rather attentive throughout our meal. They happy gave C some paper and crayons/colored pens when he asked for them.
