    Fantastic food as always but whenever we eat here we are disappointed with the service , I am happy to pay a service charge if I get service but always struggle to get the waiters attention and a smile would be nice!

    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

    Nice place with German food specialties. Space here is not an issue. Better dining experience in the balcony.
