I'm not fluent in German, just know enough. These ladies speak enough English so we can get things sorted. I think I messed the waitress up when I asked for gravy on my fries rather than mayo or ketchup! We had schnitzel with fries, curry brat with fries, house made ravioli and a chocolate soufflé. So take it from the redneck from Louisiana, Komm und iss!

Usually my expectations on service are low in Germany (usually not bad but not as customer oriented…read moreas I would like to see) but at Balke they really managed to be really horrible. We came here in a Saturday evening when it was at most half-full. We places our cocktail orders and then waited, after 10 minutes when others who ordered after us got their cocktails (we ordered slightly more complex ones so we only saw gin tonics and run and coke delivered) we asked the waitress- response was just "I know, wait". Another 10 minutes went by and we once again asked and now were told they forgot - no apology just stating they forgot and that they would be straight up. Still no apology and then another 10 minutes had gone and we could see more cocktails being delivered to guests arriving after us. When we asked again they had not even started making the cocktails - so 30 mins or so wasted and no cocktails. Clearly no structure and to be a place that pretends to be into cocktails they just make simple stuff (they where only serving glasses of gin or rum and let the guests mix it tonic or coke themselves). We told them we were leaving - again no apology. Would not come back even if paid to.

Fantastic views of Düsseldorf. The only bar worth visiting. We tried hotel Nikko, Intercontinental,…read moreHyatt ... Seriously Düsseldorf you don't know how to make a good bar in a top hotel.... They all felt like airport departure lounges But this Skylounge is the tops. And the prices are certainly not ridiculous... Good size helpings on the bar snacks. It's very quiet Sunday afternoons - crazy busy Friday and Saturday evenings and very pleasant Monday to Thursday for late evening drinks it proved.

So, you might want to make a reservation on those 2 nights. The view is indeed fantastic, so if you are looking for that - it is a great place to be. However, do note that the drinks are somewhat overpriced, e.g. a coffee costs 4.5€ which is clearly above Dusseldorf average in terms of price, but is nothing special in terms of quality. Overall: awesome design and lights, neat waiters, wonderful view, but drinks do not offer a good price-quality ratio. I have never eaten here.

While waitress service is still great the quality of the cocktails isn't state of the art anymore. Don't get me wrong, it's still a bit above average, just not perfect.

This place is over-rated on Yelp! We have yet to find a…read moregreat Mexican restaurant in Düsseldorf. We started with the guacamole and chips. The guac was actually not bad and made fresh. It could have used some diced tomatoes and jalapeño though. It was the best item the restaurant has to offer. The chips were lacking flavor. I ordered a chicken burrito. It was mostly shredded iceberg lettuce. It had some chicken, peppers and a few pieces of corn and pinto beans. Very ordinary but edible. My wife ordered tacos. Four of the smallest tacos I have seen were smothered with diced onions. She was also less than impressed. Casita Mexicana is just another average restaurant that tries their best, but just serves the typical "Euro-Mex" food. It just isn't the same as good Mexican food from the Southwestern U.S. (Or Mexico, of course). There were only two other couples in the restaurant, yet the girl sat us in the back, right next to the toilet. Didn't realize it until I was eating and started smelling it. Poor decision by the staff.
