Booked this place on a bit of a whim while planning my trip to Berlin.
The food here is phenomenal. New, interesting combinations (Sprouts and banana, who knew!) that are beautifully cooked and the menu is compiled so all of your senses get a little go! The menu has some particularly high points, mainly the deer massaman and that soy sauce that comes with the pikeperch. Highlight for me was actually the extra little dishes between courses. We had an apricot sorbet with a mustard merangue. This was particularly stunning, blew my mind. Food is the reason for my 5 star review.
The service people expect is very much to personal preference. I personally found our waiter a little snooty and felt there was a 'hard sell' when it came to drinks and particularly bottled water. He offered/insisted more water at least 6 times, several times he topped our glasses up so they were almost overflowing just so he could empty the bottle and try and persuade us to have another. When we said we didn't want more, he responded with a rather patronising 'well if you're sure' type response. When we saw the bill, we then knew why. I know it's standard in this caliber of restaurant to be charged a crazy amount for water but it was noticeably forced upon us and we didn't like that. But ignore that, food makes everything right.
