A handful of family and friends recommended BlockHouse so I took the family there on my recent trip to Germany. As a party of 5, 4 had steaks and 1 had Salmon. I ordered the standard Filet Mignon dinner which came with a small dinner salad and baked potato. I also had a side of French Onion Soup. The soup was extremely salty. Hoping it was an anomaly, my salad was simple, with Iceberg lettuce and typical salad ingredients that had slight fennel flavor mixed in. The "American" dressing was good, also having a sweet fennel undertone. Baked potato was typical, fine.

BUT, my Filet was Not Good. Yes, the "hero" on the plate was truly disappointing. I'm not sure it was a Filet as the grain of the meat was oddly sideways rather than up and down like typical Filet would be. I had to use a lot of effort just to cut my Med Rare cut. It was disappointing to say the least because I don't eat beef that often. So, to be let down by a Steakhouse was truly disappointing. Service was friendly and good but the servers could clearly see me fighting with my steak knife, just to "carve" pieces of meat to chew and chew I did. And no offer to make another steak was offered even though they could see the trouble I was having. Filets are classically tender. This was NOT a Filet Mignon and because of that, I cannot recommend this restaurant, even though my counterparts were mostly happy with their meals. Truth be told, if this happened in a nicer restaurant in the states, I would have been quickly offered a replacement steak and so it seems that in this case, German-run eateries would rather have me leave unhappy rather than throw a 5 dollar/euro replacement (their cost) on the grill to keep a happy customer for future visits. Overall this is a nice enough place to eat but I really wish I could have reported differently about MY experience. Go but be aware that if your good is not right, you will have to really speak up and hopefully get satisfaction...
