I was lured into this place by the quaint and inviting front patio. While I've never been inside the restaurant, I must admit, upon being seated, the ambiance of the lush trees and perfectly tailored garden, amongst the candle-lit tables, was so aesthetically pleasing, I thought it would compensate for any shortcomings in the food department.
Boy, was I wrong!
Now, I'm aware, especially for Reinickendorf, Berlin seems to have a lack of impressive restaurants; so I wasn't expecting anything great - but this, this was literally horrible.
My husband and I ordered escargot as an appetizer. While I know, if prepared poorly, it can taste pretty bad, I've never tasted escargot like this. It was so hard and chewy, almost impossible to chew, and tasted literally like a combination of dirt, grass, and lemon. I thought to my self, heck, they messed up the escargot, it happens. Who could possibly care with such gorgeous scenery.
After the whole escargot debacle, I was starving by the time our entrees arrived.
My husband and I both ordered a pizza each. When we received them we noticed they both were lacking sauce. The literally had almost no pizza sauce! I'd never seen such a thing. I was so hungry that I just cut into it and started eating, hoping for the best. About four bites in I just couldn't eat any more of it. It was just pizza dough, a tiny bit of cheese and salami. It tasted horrible. Both my husband and I were so let down by the place that we immediately asked for the bill and left.
Now, I don't know if it was just a bad night or what, but it was seriously the WORST food my husband and I have ever eaten at a restaurant. read more
