There was a few issues with a booking I made. My sister in the UK had made a €50 gift certificate for my Canadian relative visiting me in Berlin so she could try schnitzel. They didn't have the booking in the book. I had to show the email. The hostess really did her best but of course it meant we had a bad aisle table by the door with lots of disturbance. Not ideal for a special occasion. The server had low training. She couldn't answer questions on the menu. Be warned the vegan schnitzel was sold out by our sitting at 20.00. She didn't know how to handle the gift certificate. She asked in a strange way for the table back at closing, I did 7 years in service 'can I bring you the cheque ladies?' is adequate compared to 'we close. You must leave. So go' at precisely 22.00. Strange phrasing... Top marks for an alcohol free champagne, to my knowledge the only one in Berlin where a drinker can prost together with a dry version. A lovely male runner took our picture at the disco ball. I've been for other people's celebrations before it was a little sad to spend €50 on Flammkuchen we'd gone for the schnitzel and mentioned that on the booking. Please please please prep more schnitzel for schnitzeltag 20.00 isn't so late. If you know 20.00 is too late and the booking comes for schnitzel perhaps you could recommend the guest an earlier time slot? Total €76

The Outdoor garden is beautiful to sit and we had a nice dinner and a couple of drinks. The pizza was really tasty at a fair prize. The garden can be really packed and people are queuing up to get seated. However, even though it is packed, shouldn’t result in getting a bad service. I had to get the menus by myself as nobody took care of our table. Then, we had to find a waiter who would take our order who came 10 minutes after and wanted to double check if he got the order correctly. At the next table, the restaurant manager had a huge argument with guests that sat on a table without getting seated. Fair enough, as it’s not the best Männer to just grab a seat, but why would you start a loud argument in front of all people saying “I can do what I want I am the restaurant manager“. Only taking this behavior into account t this would not even be worth giving one star. All guests would really appreciate you have such arguments subtle and show why you are restaurant manager.

This bar dates back to 1913 and is proudly an old fashioned but established venue in Berlin. The focus is on dance (it is a ballroom for a reason!) with salsa on Monday, tango on Tuesday, swing on Wednesday, chacha and waltz on Thursday and Sunday afternoon, and a live band on Friday and Saturday. We visited on a Saturday at around 11pm and paid €5 entry. The crowd appeared to be predominantly local with an average age of mid-late 30’s. It felt like we were at a German wedding / birthday party with the live band and DJ playing in between. And do you know what – we bloody loved it! Drinks are averagely priced with a beer and wine around €10.

Claerchens is certainly a 'hit or miss' experience. I feel that the wait staff must be poorly paid, because they always seem under staffed and super grumpy....but it can be positive, though depends on the staffs mood. Claerchens has a wonderful charm. Berlin history, swing dancing, food and drinks. We have been to a number of events in the Spiegelsaal, which were lovely. Unfortunately, I tend to steer clear of Claerchens generally as I have had some very negative experiences with a certain wait staff. Perhaps I have been unfortunate enough to get the same guy each time...

Been loads here, always great to take non-Berliners here in summer! Lots of classic German food. Usually seasonal food, I always like to come for Asparagus season. Stunning location, one of few remaining ballrooms in Germany. Great exterior, lots of nature, with the beautiful old facade of the building and some lights toward the evening. And worthy to mention: the service had always been very kind and proper (traditional in the most positive way) restaurant service. Always gives me a bit of a holiday vibe, contrasting the try-hard leger Mitte area around.
