This was the one German restaurant we ate at while in Berlin. Let me state the good. The place is quaint and nice inside. The owner is extremely nice and friendly. And, I'm sure for people who love German food, this is a highlight. I, however, can now say unequivocally that I am not a fan of German cuisine. Therefore, my review will be far less positive than others, but please keep my distaste for their flavor profiles in mind as you might not feel at all the way I did. So here is my review. The best thing I had was the potato soup. It was very tasty, though there was a bit of a sour tinge to it. That sourness was something we would unfortunately find in all the other food that night. I don't know why. We googled it when we were back at the hotel and supposedly German food relies on fermentation a lot because historically Germany didn't have access to many spices. I don't know if this is true, but it would explain a lot. I had the best dish - the filets of pork and beef with bernaise sauce. The problem with my dish was the meat wasn't even seasoned with salt and pepper and the bernaise sauce was extremely sour and bizarre. I couldn't use it. I asked for a side of Spatzle, thinking it would be Kase Spatzle (cheese spatzle) but it turned out to be a side dish of boiled spatzle with absolutely no seasoning. Completely plain. Couldn't eat that. Luckily my kid did cause he hated the duck he ordered. We like our meat well done and the crispy duck is served that way, which is nice. However, the sauce is a bizarre overly sweet and tastes like some kind of melted cinnamon candy. It wasn't used and the duck was just bland without anything. It wasn't enjoyed. Finally we had the German meatballs which are just weird. Once again, a super sour sauce that is not to our tastes at all. I would give German food as a whole 1 star. The second star is for the incredibly friendly owner and how pleasant he was. Otherwise, it was a waste of money, and as soon as we got back to the hotel I unbookmarked all the German food restaurants I had found on Yelp! Only go if you know you love German food. This place isn't expensive, but it ain't cheap. read more
