Gonna write two reviews because ate here once for breakfast and once for dinner..
Breakfast - 5 stars
Breakfast is amazing! Well-priced, simple and fresh. Had poached eggs with salad, toast and bacon. My friend had the granola pancakes which were decadent and delicious. Coffee is good too!
I will definitely come back for breakfast. But onto dinner...
Dinner - 0-1 stars
Cannot believe how different this place is at night! Went on a weeknight with hardly anyone in the restaurant and the service was unbelievably slow. Took the server 30 minutes to even take our order, another 20 minutes after that to serve some bread. 20 minutes after this we received two starters - a gazpacho (which to be fair was good) and a spargelsalat (nice, but 16 euros for 3 small stalks with a few parmesan shavings on top?).
I'm not expecting immediate service, and I normally enjoy lengthy dinners - but this was extreme.
When the food finally showed up 90 minutes after arriving (one hour after placing the order), it wasn't good. Only one dish was decent - the rib eye - good portion size, nice meat and veg. The next dish was scallops - they were small and served on 'parsley mashed potatoes' (actually, a few spoonfuls of watery, salty potato pulp). The last dish was awful - it was supposed to be pork belly with shrimp, served with broccoli, avocado and fresh coriander. The dish was missing the shrimp, and it was a long, tough piece of pork belly (how pork belly can be tough I don't even know...). Two cold pieces of broccoli, a few tiny bits of avocado, and then a cook came out and said "here, please enjoy some shrimp on the house, it's the chef's birthday". The shrimp that was meant to be in the dish in the first place?
The waitress was not accommodating at all - classic Berlin service wüste which I expect. Not mad at her or the restaurant, but for the extreme prices and subpar food and service quality, I won't ever come back here for dinner again.
