We ordered the charcuterie plate with has a minimum order for 3 people and they will have a hawk eye on your table to make sure that no one who ordered touched anything on the platter as they would have to charge another $20 for someone to touch something that they didn't pay for.

Whoever knows how French people how they celebrate "cuisine" (!) well understands my comment. This has nothing to do with French cuisine!!! As an example we had onion soup which was: sour vinegar & undefined vegetables(!) and nothing else(!) simply terrible, then we were waiting over one hour for "Tatar Steak"... scary. All things inside except what you could expect Tatar Steak !! Plus simply not acceptable problem : raw egg (according to the law, obliged to be announced and we found it in our meat...). The waitress doesn't understand anything being just a poor little student helper, and the chef looks bewildered when one asks for French mustard #Dijon... nothing French about this place. And whenever I pass around there is no French person in 100 square meters. For a very good reason. This is anything, but not French!! stay away.

The menu even made reference to eluded it was similar but when we saw the sauce on the steak we knew without tasting it, it was not the same. We ate it, it was fine but the steak was tough even though it was cooked fairly rare ( per our request) and thinly sliced. The sauce was salty; not my favorite. Despite my experience, I was surprised to see it was fairly busy for a Monday night; seemed to be popular with the after work crowd. It was my second steak dinner in Berlin and both were a bit disappointing and maybe I'm just spoiled with my steaks as I'm not used to eating a tough piece of meat as I prefer a marbled high quality steak such as a ribeye or tomahawk cut I will stick to braised meat in Germany going forward. If you go, try something other than steak.

Let's start with the raclette cheese: it's ridiculously overpriced! And don't expect any fancy add-ons or decent accompaniments,just the most basic, uninspired spread imaginable. The service, however, was even worse. Our server was rude, inattentive, and somehow managed to disappear every time we needed something. It took forever just to get something, and by the time our food finally arrived, we'd lost our appetite. For the price they charge, I'd expect at least a hint of professionalism, but unfortunately, this place offers none. Save your money and your time, there are much better places to eat out there.

The ambiance of the place is really nice and the service was good, but they gave us a weird vibe when we asked for water. I hate that. If I want water, I want water.

Tourists be aware! DO NOT PAY CASH…read more We had an absolutely great meal here, but how they handled the check was absolutely rude, awkward and pissed me off enormously. We had to pay 64 euros. I put down 70 and the waiter took the money, very awkwardly said something along the lines of "enjoy the rest of your stay in Berlin", walked away with even offering us change or coming back with the change. I'm well aware you tip in restaurants, but just grabbing it like you deserve it, how incredibly rude and pretentious. I have never seen this happening anywhere in the world.
