   Being German I felt like visiting home! All my favourite foods were on the menu, the portions were good and for London good value for money. I loved the place itself-we were sitting upstairs. Staff were very attentive and helpful and I was amazed to be able to get Schlenkerla smoked beer from Bamberg! I had booked specifically for the white asparagus specials period and was not disappointed! Will certainly come back and try out the a la carte dishes, or other seasonal specials.

   Always love eating here and I love the food and the ambience. However in the last few years I have noticed that the portions have gotten smaller and the prices have gone up. Not quite the value for money I'm used to.

   Great atmosphere and delicious food! Best wiener schnitzel I’ve ever tasted. Worth a visit.

   The food was exquisite. Staff very welcoming, tactful and behaves professional from the time of entering the building and during the whole service. The ambience has a a wonderful and prestigious design. The place is a historical heritage and has elevating design ceiling. Thank you all the team members for the inspiration, great choice of food and wonderful service.

   The food is delicious and the servers delivered by Mrs Alina was great. My sister and I love the table with beautiful vases and fresh flowers. Thanks

   My friend and I sat outside and had the schnitzels with a large portion size and good quality and flavour. There was only one French rose on the wine list which was very nice but not many choices. Good service and atmosphere.

   Absolutely shocking, we will never visit this venue again. We sat outside, it wasn’t actually that busy but there was no service and when anyone did arrive they clearly had no service training whatsoever, the management should be ashamed. Coffees took ages, food took forever and was very average with burnt mushrooms. One of the supervisors acknowledged us and then walked away doing nothing. One waiter was asked just for salt and pepper and it never arrived. This restaurant is at the heart of Kings Cross on a beautiful, sunny morning, the people on the table behind us had to fetch their food from the tray as they wanted warm food but no one was serving. So disappointing.

    Great German restaurant in Central London, serving double-pints of beer
