"I 've been through many cafés, bars and restaurants, and have through the years made a Top 5 list of both good and bad experiences. This sits comfortably in 5th place as an all-round shit experience. Spending christmas in Berlin, I set out to find a place to have a traditional german christmas-dinner; I 'm danish and a chef, so my interest is always peaked when abroad. It wasn 't easy, and we ended up cooking at the flat we stayed in, but still wanted some traditional german grub. Went in on a recommendation from a lady down the street, we walked in to this very old school and charming-looking dual restaurant-bar (one room is mostly dinning, the other more drinking and smoking is allowed . We were greated, sat down and offered menus by a pleasant woman that didn 't seem to understand any english, but fair enough. After the drinks arrived and the food from the pretty sparse menu had been ordered, things went a bit down hill : the waiter seemed to vanish for 20 mins at a time. Food arrived (late! my mom had some chicken (tiny pieces that wouldn 't make up for a full chickenbreast in a bland vegetable sauce/soup, I had the breaded veal schnitzel, a classic in the german kitchen, served with potatosalad . The chicken was dry! vegetables wet, overcooked and bland. My schnitzel had been flattened to around 1/2 cm in thickness, breaded with 2 cm of crumbs, potatosalad was limp, tasted like it came from a jar and there was no sauce. Greasy, soggy, shitty! Beer and wine was ok, but we paid 60€ for something I wouldn 't have paid 30€ for, and I wouldn 't have accepted, had we been back in Denmark (my dog wouldn 't have eaten it, and he eats dust! Stay away. Plain and simple, or go in for a beer at the bar, filthy as it were in there, the mood seemed cheerful."
