Service was not very good, although truthfully, I don't expect stellar service around here. The…read morefood was OK, but the portions criminal.
After waiting five minutes before being recognized, we ordered all at once and received our food quickly.
The E21.50 Fischteller contained just one small whitefish (dorado), three calamaris, and one butterfly shrimp. It was a very underwhelming portion.
The E23.80 warm-kalt appetizer platter was also disappointing. It contained 3 dips, cheese-stuffed roasted red pepper,
fried feta, fried zucchini, spanicoppita, and couscous salad. While the portion size was fine and the items all good, we thought it a lame assortment. Not one meat/fish sample in sight. Might I suggest that the selection be spelled out, so we know what we're getting.
Our food gripes would be substantially mitigated if the food were outstanding or original but really, the quality, flavor, and presentation were average.
Add to that, no bread came for the dips. We had to ask twice and then received sliced French-style bread, not the pita bread
one would expect (and really, that is required for the appetizer platter). And we never received the water we asked for.
Sadly, the tone was set when my .5L beer came out 1cm too low--a rare and unfortunate oversight.
When it came time for me to round a 56.90 bill to 57 Euros, the server didn't thank us, chuckled, muttered something and walked off.
That we were well-dressed, polite, sat inside, ordered and ate quickly, and spoke exclusively in German means we did nothing to deserve what ended as an unpleasant experience. I really hope that our American accents and our not being one of the "sceney" people outside did not tempt the staff away from giving us a sub-standard experience. It's a thought that may not be founded in anything but experience and intuition. However, I can't help but come away with a bad feeling about this place.
