   Superb food well cared for from a service perspective ambience lacking as we were sent upstairs when it was empty and not given thee choice of being downstairs but it livened up quickly and we enjoyed ourselves

   Nice ambience appreciated by our party of five. We were accommodated downstairs having been told that the upper floors were not serving lunch (no reason given) The food was as expected - well cooked and authentically German, but without real gourmet flair, large portions, served quickly, nice deserts. A good place to lunch with friends in an excellent location. Also, the building itself is remarkable.

   As ever the food was of the highest standard. The braised ox cheek was sublime.

   Absolutely delicious food from Starter to Dessert. The only thing that I don’t like is the time limit… your booking is for 1 1/2 hrs only… so once you finish with dessert the waiter will remind you that they need the table back which did not sit well with us as we were having a great after dinner conversation and had to abruptly stop and leave.

   Despite booking was given a table forb2 beside a noisy group, in a walkway next to the toilets. “The enchanted grotto” or what? However after asking to be moved had a great table in a more spacious and quieter part. Why we weren’t out there first who knows? The food and service however made up for that issue as Borge were very good

    We experienced quite a long wait before anyone took our order or offered us water. When the waiter finally came to us, they seemed to be in a rush. Unfortunately, we weren’t informed that there was a cut-off time for food orders, so we were unable to enjoy any dessert. Our table was quite cramped, and it wasn’t until we asked that anyone came to clear the empty plates, which would have given us more room to eat. The most prompt service we received was when the bill was presented to us, even though we hadn’t requested it.
