J.A.S. — Restaurant in Berlin

Absolutely excellent. It is not often that you are greeted by the owner and chef at the front door. Not that I expect they do this for every dinner 😀. The interior is eclectic. Not in that same way some chains try to fake it. Genuine bits and bobs that you could tell we're bought with thought by the owners. For instance they were able to tell me where the 'Bonnie Prince Charlie' that adorns the bar came from. I in turn educated them on the cultural and historical significance of the individual. They were very gracious☺. Onto the food and drink. The bar was well stocked, and had a good selection of spirits & beers. For a small restaurant in E. Berlin the selection of Whisky was impressive. Again lesson on regions & tasting notes was carefully noted and taken down (well they did ask! 😂) there was a good selection of German and European dishes. All with a slight twist. I would have to admit when the food arrived in what seemed like a very short period of time I was sceptical. But, after the first mouthful my fears vanished. It was lovely. Unfortunately God granted me the memory of a Swiss cheese, so I cannot tell you what we had, and I am no (professional) critic. I had a sour, beef thing, my Wife had a rib dish of some sort, and my pre-teen Son had one of Schitsells (pardon my spelling). All three dishes were beautifully prepared and presented. More over they were actually a proper plate full. We got chatting about Whisky (as mentioned earlier) so we did not manage dessert. So I cannot comment. So, if you are looking for good food in a nice friendly restaurant run by, passionate about what they do people, get your arse out of the city centre and head...

When I arrived to the place. I was asked if I could order food. I was informed that the cook will come to explain which dishes were available. I waited for half an hour and nobody came. I asked the waitress if I could order food, and I got the same answer. The the cook came out and in a confrontation mood told me there is still food available, that I need to wait until the other dishes are prepared. To be patient. Half an hour later, he took my order.

Originally, I wrote a bad review because of what I explained above. But I decided to erase the review, something I usually don't do. However, even though my first review was not existing any longer, the cook, who looks like is the owner or manager, received the notification of my review and red it. He immediately confronted me, asking me if I wrote the review, coincidentally, he did that when he served my dessert 🤔.

I was planning to leave a good review because the food was good, the atmosphere was nice and the beer was good too. However, the confronting attitude of the cook/owner, made me to give this bad review. Customers should be treated with respect, and not being confronted in the way he...

Das Wichtigste vorweg, hier schmeckt es hervorragend und man wird mit der sprichwörtlichen Berliner Herzlichkeit empfangen! Kodderschnauze mit ganz viel Herz.

Wir haben hier mit 30 Personen Hochzeit gefeiert. Inhaber Sven, Koch David und die Servicekraft haben uns und alle unsere Gäste absolut professionell und charmant betreut. Von Anfang an wurden wir in allen Vorgesprächen super beraten, konnten unsere eigenen Ideen einbringen und wurden mit kreativen Koch-Ideen begleitet. Zum Gästeempfang wurde alles wunderbar her gerichtet und liebevoll dekoriert. Ausgefallen waren der Sektempfang vom Oldtimer-Pritschenwagen und der super Limousinen-Service, top!!! Das Essen war spitze! Alle Gänge waren wohlschmeckend. Wir haben den ganzen Abend über und Tage danach nur Lob für die super Küche bekommen. Außerdem sind alle Mitarbeiter im Laden engagiert, freundlich und immer zu einem Plausch aufgelegt.

Fazit: Wer in Berlin mal eine Feier in charmantem Ambiente mit lecker Essen plant, kommt am JAS...
