She and her partner are from Spain and recently added a new tapas menu to their offerings. We had a lovely experience and very good food. There is interior seating but we sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful day. The lentil soup was delicious and the cod with spinach was cooked to perfection. The tortilla was a little different than the ones we enjoyed in Spain but still very good. Spanish tapas in Germany are a nice break from the traditional German fare.

The servers and, I believe, the owners seemed to know everyone. We speak only rudimentary German and only one young woman spoke a bit of English. But we were still treated great. We muddled through the menu with what we knew and some guesses and a bit of help with Google translator. My wife went with the white asparagus risotto while I ordered one of the specials which we paired with a bottle of Riesling. Now to be fair I knew I was ordering a meat per the German word "fleisch". But I didn't recognize the type. Well "sülzfleisch" it turns out was a type of headcheese, home made, with a sauce on the side and baked potatoes. I was surprised but dug in. Both dishes were excellent! Great food and relaxed atmosphere. Worth stopping by.

This somewhat…read morehighly touted boutique restaurant is, in my humble and usually generous opinion, a bit of a fraud. The set three or four course menu when I dined there recently was almost from start to finish a hyperglicemic's worst nightmare, every course from the scallop starter to the miniscule (fortunately) serving of kohlrabi "souped" up with vanilla, mango and other sweets to the sweet reduction on the beef. Not to mention the beef was served with SWEET potatoes. The scallop course had chunks of sweetened miniature corn and was topped for who knows what reason with crushed corn nuts! Scallops are somewhat delicate and the corn nuts really did them in. To give them credit the wines were good from different regions of Germany and France. To top things off, between the second and main course I was served a cup of espresso. Well, I thought, here's something novel, an intermezzo surprise to cleanse the palate after all the cloying sweetness but the surprise was that it was mis-delivered to me instead of to another table. The restaurant is too precious for words but no value for the money. Did I mention I left before dessert?
