I owe this restaurant a review, we were there in March 2023, and I don't remember a time where there was such a focus on service. The young lady that was attending to our table, was constantly making sure we were topped up with wine and water, and that the food was expedited in a steady flow that suited our needs. I have put one star less for the Atmosphere, but that's only because we were seated at a larger table in a privat dining room with one other couple. We knew that when we booked, and it was no big deal, but it is slightly different than having your own table in the main dining room.

Went here with my wife for a course dinner. The restaurant has less than 10 tables inside, few tables outside and one big room for a group of up to 6 people. We picked to expand the menu with one more course, which made us very full in the end :) My wife decided to go with non-alcoholic pairing. I went for half wine pairing. Wine selection from the personal was great to complement the food: had two whites and one red from Germany and France. The house-made non-alcoholic drinks were quite interesting and surprising, for example, there was a drink that smelled like strawberry but tasted like tomato :) The buttermilk drink with herbs was quite nice! The dishes were of high quality and beautiful plating. Simple in ingredients and at the same time sophisticated in taste. Among the favorites were: the starter with lettuce, onion and buttermilk; the beetroot with cherry - cherry based sauce was yummy; the trout fish with radish and cucumber; and the transitional course after the main course to dessert with currant and soup vegetables - very refreshing. Main dishes with chicken were simple to our taste. We spent around 4.5 hours for the dining experience which is totally fine as we needed breaks in between the courses. The final bill was around 400€ which is okay for fine dining in Germany for two. We would come back here again in 1-2 years to check again how the restaurant would evolve.

Delisous food, great atmosphere, very balanced and creative menu. Very interesting vegetarian dishes. Awesome non-alcoholic pairing, every glass perfectly fits the food, and the drinks themselves are special and very tasty. We enjoyed a lot and highly recommend to visit this restaurant.
