   Absolutely disgraceful. We arrived only to be told that the restaurant no longer existed and had been closed for 3 weeks even though the booking had been confirmed by email and phone the day before.

   After reserving a table online we were placed in a corner at the kitchen door when there were booths available. Service was slow & the food was poor

   The service was excellent. We were attended to immediately. The waiter was very friendly and the place was quiet yet had an atmosphere.

   We arrived at 5 to 9 and our booking was for 9 and the kitchen was closed! We didn’t get our food and were turned away! Very disappointed

   Really good night. Music was really good but a little loud. Great service from the staff.

   We book a table here and end up not even staying for food. The food eatting area is at the back but for some reason they had us seated right in the middle of bar with no one else eatting all drinking with backpacks and the table they reserved didn't even have a chair they had to get one. Very disappointed and unorganized as when booking I stated standard not bar.

   I love this wee bar staff are very friendly. Booked a table on the 21/12/18 for 3 friends the place was buzzing. We got sorted wihout a problem. Took us to our table and drinks flowed from there. We had a fantastic night.

   Arrived to the Berliner having booked a table via their Facebook page as earlier that day when ringing the establishment we were put on hold and they never returned to the phone, we thought “that’s fine they’ve forgot to return to the phone, they’re probably very busy”. So we arrived at 5pm our booking time and the bar was crowded, nothing unusual, but we managed to find our table with my name reserved on top by squeezing through the crowds of people, we were not greeted by a member of staff upon arrival, nor brought to our table, we found it ourselves and sat down, waited a few minutes for any staff to walk by to call them and let them know we’d shown ourselves to our table and that we needed menus but no staff was in sight, my partner then went up to the bar to ask for food menus as we had a show to go see at 6:30pm as we needed to order more or less straight away, there were 2 bar men on and none of them were able to even hear my partner call on them for food menus, whilst this was happening I was waiting at our table when a young couple and 2 older men stood at our table with their drinks and talked and socialised when we were essentially trying to have a nice dinner date before the show, there was no privacy at all, thank god it wasn’t our first date! Needless to say we got up and left without any member of staff knowing we had even showed up to our booking, we managed to get a table round the corner at Northern Whig, my first time there and it was lovely, and we made it in time for our show, so yes I’m sure the food at the Berliner is lovely but wouldn’t know as the service was absolutely shocking, and on a last note, yes I tried to contact the Berliner afterwards to give them this information but again I couldn’t even get in contact with them to make a complaint, unfortunately I won’t be trying again anytime soon!

   Lovely meal on the busiest day of the social calendar. Had two small children with us and staff were very helpful. Not all food arrived on time but may just be because of the busyness of the day. Very vibrant and cozy with good location to shopping.

    The decor is very nice but otherwise we were disappointed. Sat by the toilet door, the smell spoiled our dinner. Live music was on, good singer but much much too loud, we could not converse around the table. As well the menu is quite small - 2 of the main dishes were not available, reducing the offer. Food was good, wine as well. Probably a nice place for a pint watching a match, but not the gastro pub we had in mind. On a positive note, the staff was friendly and helpful.
