I have walked past this magnificent building for years never realising that it was a restaurant. What a find. Good German comfort food and great service, in an immense space. Will definitely be back. FANTASTISCH!

Whole experience with food and drink was very good, but after being promptly seated by the staff at the front door, our table was totally missed by the waiting staff and he we had to return to the front desk to organise someone to engage with us - very surprised at this as service is usually top notch

Lieu très agréable, en face de la gare St Pancras, sympa pour petit déjeuner à l’arrivée du train. Mais les plats étaient froids, le service moyen et le dressage des plats vraiment pas appétissant. Dommage.
