I had to think for a bit before rating this place and finally, I decided to give it 4 stars. I would have given it 5 stars, had it not been for the prices they charge here. It's Michelin star prices without the added fringe benefits :-) For me, the the most disappointing part of the meal, was the price of the steak, which was way higher than normal, compared to like steakhouses in town.
The ambience is chic, elegant, modern and comfortable. 5 stars for ambience and looks. The service here is also excellent and the waitress we had was really good. I would give 5 stars for service and attention to detail. She was very attentive, spoke great English and very friendly. The food here is great and I loved every bite.
The menu is quite varied and I think it's because, it is in an area with a few hotels. They have a nice selection of snacks, starters, middle courses and mains. It's more European / American in style than French, in my opinion. The drinks menu is also extensive with a good selection of wine. The prices are high for the wine. They also have a nice cocktail list and I must admit, I did not like the drinking soldier I had. It was lacking in flavour and punch for me.
We decided to have some "snacks" to start. The pimientos we ordered for snack was really nice as was the sandwich. The ribeye steak main for two was cooked to perfection. The mash potato side we ordered with the steak was superb and, the veggies intense in flavour. The presentation was also excellent however, the price of the steak was way too high for what it was :-(
Desserts from the menu can be ordered or you can select smaller desserts from the cart. We decided to try a selection from the cart. Creme brûlée was superb as was the chocolate / banana tart. The wine we had with the main was quite ok and had an attractive name "bad boy". A good marketing trick but, not worth the money in my opinion.
You can order the daily three or four course menu and the prices for that are quite ok. It's a restaurant that is not so easy to get to and tons of construction in the area at the moment. I am sure it will fit in once the construction is complete. It's a fairly new place and been open since April.
I would come back here again for sure. I love the atmosphere and the quality of the service but, would select what I eat. I certainly would not order the steak off menu without checking prices first. I did not like the fact that it was 30% more than what the waitress told us it would be :-(( I hate that about restaurants and they simply don't correct their own mistakes. That results in a star deduction for me. I never think twice about paying for great food but in this case, felt a bit let down :-((
I really hope this place survives. It's located in an unusual place and, it's expensive. Places like this come and go out of style in Munich and, I really hope, this one does not. The quality of food is high but, they are making us pay for the huge investment in the restaurant. A great addition to the area albeit, a bit out of the way. read more
