We called on a Friday night for the 4 of us and she told us the they do not have space inside but…read moreif we are ok they would serve us in the Biergarten. Temperatures were not that bad so we decided to stay outside. Luckily not that many smokers because you have to expect those outside. Took a little to get the drinks but she apologized as soon as she came out to explain the beer leg needed to be switched out. I will come back any time I'm in Berlin.

Great place to stop for an afternoon beer. After a day of sightseeing, my friend and I came here…read moreand I ordered a pilsner and some french fries. Imagine my disappointment when I found out their deep fryer was broken! However, the quick thinking waitress recommended the pan fried potatoes with scallions and bacon. Being a laid back, easy going American who likes to go with the flow, I said "Sure, let's try it" and I'm glad I did. Those potatoes were so good! Much better than fries would have been. It was nice to sit at the sidewalk table and relax and talk over a beer. Very nice place!

Very filling! Day two we enjoyed the breakfast for two which consisted of three German pancakes with a yummy cream to put on top, various croissants and rolls with butter and preserves, and the tiered presentation of scrambled eggs, various cheeses, fruit, olives, prosciutto, turkey, salmon, and a nice horseradish sauce. Both of us enjoyed the freshness and just the right amount.

I've been coming to April for years now and have never had a bad meal: breakfast, enchiladas,…read moreschnitzel, salads -- all well-flavored and with appropriate and sometimes generous portions. The main courses, etc. are a few euros more than I would expect to pay. As others have said, it's a warm and chic little local restaurant, with nice outdoor seating options in the summertime. The only drawback -- and it seems that others have not had this experience -- is consistently mediocre service. Almost every time I've been there, they are short, slightly rude, snobbish, and impatient. The service is consistently perfunctory in my experience -- the only real downside to this restaurant.

Wonderful experience. Last night in Berlin and we saved the best for last with April's. We were…read moregreeted by all smiles at the front door. The food was awesome. The family- owned business makes this a definite must. Make sure you ask for Helen to wait on you. She is the BEST. she goes by Michigan as her nickname. call her that and you will get all smiles and top notch service. Cheers.

This restaurant is located inside the Best Western Hotel am Borsigturm and is advertised by the…read morehotel as one of the best restaurants in town. Unfortunately it is NOT. The people at the hotel front desk even told me I needed to reserve a table in advance just to get in, because it would be so crowded, so I reserved 7:30pm. When I came into the small restaurant sporting only a few tables, it was less than half full. There were maybe only three or four parties in the whole restaurant. First, the waiter told me that four or five items on the already very small menu were unavailable. How this could be at 7:30pm when the restaurant was only half full is a great mystery to me. It speaks of horrible planning by the owner, or simple false advertising. After placing my order within 3 minutes for the simplest entree on the menu (breaded chicken with salad), I proceeded to wait 45 minutes... NOTHING came. I stood up went over to the waiter and asked him what was the status of my order. He said it was coming right out. I waited another five minutes, nothing came, nothing was coming. I went over and asked to speak to the manager. There was no manager. The waiter ignored me, did not even apologize, and puttered about like a complete jerk. I then went to the front desk of the hotel and asked to speak to the manager, and of course there was no manager on duty. I told the clerk I wanted to speak to the manager, and she said he would get back to me tomorrow. I explained that there should ALWAYS be a manager on duty, and that I would be back home in the USA tomorrow. The level of indifference, arrogance, and disregard for the customer was truly astounding. At that point, I went back to my room, put on my coat to go out, and stopped back at the restaurant one more time asking to speak to the chef. The same arrogant, incompetent waiter told me to wait outside in reception, at which point I told him no thank you, and that I wanted to speak to the chef. The restaurant has an open kitchen and I could see two cooks there, but I didn't know which one was the chef. The waiter continued in his arrogant dismissive manner, and I insisted upon speaking with the chef. Eventually, he told me that he was the chef, which he obviously was NOT. He was simply the incompetent, arrogant, and ill-mannered waiter. At that point, I left, went across the street to McDonalds, and had a very tasty set of chicken wings. Do NOT waste your time or money on this place. It is a joke.

Omg!! This place is amazing. I went here for dinner on a Monday extremely hungry and was definitely…read morepleased with the size of the portions. I basically was given a whole cow and pig to feast on. Felt like I was in game of thrones and almost didn't use my knife and fork. All the food was well seasoned and cooked well. I spent €17 for 2 people. It included 2 entrees, 1 huge ass bier which we split and 1 dessert. Also the service is very friendly and make you feel welcome. I recommend the vanilla ice cream with cherry liquor for dessert. You will get drunk! Eat here if you want to try typical German dishes for a great price with friendly service!

The service is fast and very friendly. Special wishes like an additional sauce was not a problem and caused no extra charges. Here you get real local dishes. I had the schnitzel with "Ragout Fin" which I do not get in other German regions. The portion is perfect and the taste excellent. When I asked for Worchester sauce it came in just minutes. If you are looking for something special and off the beaten path come here. I will definitely come back to try the other dishes.
