Der neue Platzhirsch — Restaurant in Berlin

A terrible experience. We sat at the table and waited 10 minutes for someone to come and hand us a menu card. No one did so I went to look for a waitress to ask if we should order at the bar but she said she'd come and she did but only after another 5 minutes.
