"tastefully ordered. good acoustics. most of our foods were exquisite. the personal was efficient and knowledgeable about the foods./ tuna tartar was beautiful with its pink and green thema. coarsely minced thunfisch and avocado in a yuzu wasabi dressing. some may consider it a bit salty, but not for my taste. perfect temperature, not served too cold. pretty garnishes of thin cut, slightly pickled gurken and radishes. some scarves of deep roasted rice paper, sprinkled with beet-root powder, added crunch and color./Lachs-Sushi-Burger were two small cakes of compressed deep roasted rice, which formed a bungalow. in between was a good puppet player of tasty salmon star. new, but beautiful. served with a selection of pickles. müll, beet, radishes and cucumber.Aubergine in miso was beautiful. Firm bites of peeled aubergine dripping with a sweet mists sauce and scattered with mandelflakes roasted to a quite aggressive shade of brown. the slightly bitter edge was a beautiful contrast to the sweet of the sauce. another fine balance of aromen and textures./ the only dish that was not great was the tempura soba. I prefer this dish served with the tempura on the side to dip into the broth and noodles. I would recommend ordering it that way. No matter how brilliant the tempura is when it sits on a bowl of suppe, the texture is finally soggy and incessant. large selection of luxury birds in tempoura. fine haricot vert, spargel, enoki mushrooms and sweet potato. vegetarian consisted of kombu, mirin and soy was a little boring. I would have preferred a classic dashi with Bonito flakes, but that would not have made the court vegetarian./ I will be back in any case, but will give the suppening a misunderstanding as our server told us that they are all made with the same vegetarian broth."

"it's not my favorite atmosphere. music is quite loud, and the acoustic is uncompromising due to a lot of hard surfaces (stone on the walls, polished concrete and mosaic tile on the floor.) better suited for lunch, or a rough night with colleagues than an evening dinner date. but it was really good to eat. for the meat we had portions from the thin liquid piece menu. I had a black and a lamb cut. my companion had sirloin steak and the lamb T bone. all well carved on a very hot wood charcoal grill. they do not ask how they want to do their flesh, and lamb and bark are rarely served what suits me. if they are squealous about it (like my companion) they should indicate that they want the meat made medium. we had the green sauce that was similar to a chimchurri or salsa verde. the nice sides were all excellent. fantastic bark drops chips. incredibly crispy on the outside and tasty inside. large dive in Chili-Hollandaise, which was more like a very rich chili-chomo (not warm as a real hollandaise.) the chips were so great that we asked for a second order. the other veggies were grilled courgette, chicory with stylton as well as grilled baby precious stones with screw drops. definitiw a thema of vegetables with olive oil doused, cut edges over hot coals darkened and then sprinkled with a little salty. a good idea, and I will try both dishes at home on the grill pan. the house red at £23 for a 700 ml carafe was an excellent tempranillo. a real cut over most house wines. wein was on the house because I booked with the softlaunchfail offer for subscribers in their mailing list that did not manage to get a table during the reduced soft start. our price-performance fee with service was £38."
