Compliment
bbd (05-03-2008)
I regret to say that I stay just round the corner from this place whenever I am in Berlin, and I heartily recommend that you take your money elsewhere because that's all this place wants to do: take your money. The decor is modern, with a yuppy-ish lounge upstairs, but the seats are uncomfortable if you stay a little too long. The food is not pricey but expensive for what it is. The wines are generally awful, and I recognised a few New World bottles which were selling for 8-10 times the price in the local wine shop. (A normal restaurant's markup is 3-4 times retail normally). Service is haphazard. The first round of drinks can take 10 mins but the next round can be 30 mins. The food always arrives lukewarm at best and is sugary and spiced from tins and packets.
The staff reflects the nature of this unapologetic tourist trap. They are all young and inexperienced and nobody stays for long. I tried to like the place as it is so convenient for me, but I gave up in the end. It's a pity as the location is great, just under the beautiful "umbrella" in the Sony Center, but I would avoid this restaurant like the plague.
