acht&dreissig — Restaurant in Berlin

Despite the high cost of the meals, the lack of a pleasant ambiance, especially given our early reservation, left us dissatisfied. It's crucial for establishments to recognize that atmosphere contributes significantly to the enjoyment of exquisite food. Our concerns were communicated to the waitress and through email, but unfortunately, no resolution was provided. This serves as a reference for those seeking a more considerate dining...
