This was an interesting experience for us. This was the first English review for this place and I…read morenow see why. There was not very much English spoken at this restaurant. This was a very nicely decorated restaurant. I could tell that it was upscale and a local favorite. We did show up without reservations. I couldn't nail down if the staff was hesitant or gracious to seat us. There were mixed signals. We were told immediately before we sat down that they do not take credit cards. It was a very, very, very long wait before someone waited on us, but the tables around us were getting great service. I don't know what was going on here and don't want to jump to speculations. We were given hand written menus that were written in German, but laminated. A very friendly older gentleman came to take our order. For simplicity reasons, I told him I wanted fish and for him to choose my meal for the evening. The chef sent out an appetizer of some sort as a gift which was very nice. I think they were some variety of beans, capers or something and thinly sliced cheese(maybe). We were quickly brought the shrimp scampi and the egg dishes as appetizers. The egg dish was a sunny side up fried egg on potatoes or polenta with some type of brown-black shavings. The taste was average. The scampi was great and the egg dish was puzzling, but not horribly bad. Several minutes went by before our entrees arrived. I watched one of the tables near us get what I thought was desert on toothpicks (or maybe something to cleanse their pallet). This was followed by what HAD to be desert. The group almost licked the plates. It was entertaining to watch. This was followed by a plate of little assorted candies. Our entrees finally arrived, Spaghetti Carolina and a flakey fish with assorted vegetables. The fish was served with a small salad and pan fried potatoes. All of this was great! Everything was well seasoned, not over-seasoned or overwhelming. At one point they stated playing really great loud music in the other room, but it was just one song. Afterward they continued to play soft music in our room. Very Strange. We finished our entrees and I just couldn't wait until we received some of that plate-licking desert or some of that toothpick stuff or those little candies. None of this happened. One of the younger waiters told us, "The desert menu is lengthy and confusing if you can't speak the language." I asked him to bring us what he considered was a good desert. He brought us what looked like lemon meringue pie without the crust. It was a nice desert. Overall we were charged 100 euros with no alcohol which included and a "must" 19% gratuity. The meal was good, but the service was inconsistent. I didn't feel like a welcomed guest. I left there feeling unsettled about the bill as well. I don't think I would visit again, nor recommend it to any of my friends.

Nice little cafe + *…read moreLocation: Perfect to sit for a drink/snack w a couple of friends, especially on a warm afternoon, you can just have a seat on a bench outside and watch the people walk by. * Food: I have tried only a dish, plenty of Spanish specialties, savory as well as sweet The "tortilla mit gemuse" which should be a vegetable pie is actually only a potatoe pie...not exactly what I expect from a veggie pie, my fault I should have asked... Should the opportunity arise again, I will try something else

The most of the menu undergoes a change on a regular base. It all sounds so tasteful and partly unusual that it's hard to select something. I'd say everybody will leave pleased as the chef and boss himself offers tasty meals for fans of meat, fish or veggie food. Your selection (coming in exactly the right sizes) gets prepared right in front of you while loads of herbs and cool spices are used. Surprisingly interesting and creative cuisine- especially for these fair prices. So far I haven't been let down at all and neither have my company. It's a shame that I cannot go there more often.
