Stopped by for dinner and a glass of red wine. Pizza was solid, really solid. The crust had that proper char, not too thick. Place has a nice buzz, feels like a real family operation. My wine pairing worked well with the margherita. Service was a bit stretched, but they were friendly about it. Would come back for the pizza alone.

Food&#39;s decent, service friendly, but prices are steep for the portions. Typical busy brauhaus vibe, just smoky when crowded.

Stopped by for a quick dinner and grabbed the burger. Portion was solid for the price, honestly didn&#39;t expect that much for under 15 euros. Place had a decent mix of people, not too loud. Staff seemed fine, no complaints. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stopped by for a late afternoon snack. The tapas platter did the job&mdash;good mix of stuff, nothing felt like an afterthought. Gin list is long, maybe too long if you ask me, but the bartender knew his stuff. Place was quiet when I was there, which I liked. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back for a proper dinner.

Solid traditional German food and beer. My sausages with mash and sauerkraut was a huge plate&mdash;could barely finish it. A wheat beer paired nicely with the mustard. Just a bit loud inside.

The pasta&#39;s still as good as the first time I came here. That lemon and saffron sauce is the one I keep thinking about. Portions are big enough to share, or just take half home.

The pork knuckle was spot on. Crispy skin, tender inside, proper amount of salt. Had it with the potato dumplings and sauerkraut. That combo just works. Portion was big enough that I skipped dessert. Been here a few times now, the kitchen stays consistent. That&#39;s mainly what I care about.

The sauerbraten was solid, venison too. Kids crushed their schnitzel without complaints. Service dragged a bit, place was packed. But honestly, the food saved it. Quick bite if you&#39;re in the area and don&#39;t mind waiting a little.

The Argentinian steak was cooked just right, really juicy and full of flavor. Our waitress was super friendly, made the whole evening feel easy. Only thing, the place got a bit loud later on, but that didn&#39;t bother us much. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the mood for a good cut of meat.

The pisco sour was solid and the ceviche pretty fresh. Place has a nice buzz to it, though service felt a bit all over the place. Fine for a casual catch-up, just don&#39;t expect a quiet evening.

Stopped by for dinner on a weekday. Sourdough with whipped butter was the standout&mdash;simple but done right. Service was quick and friendly, no fuss. Place was busy but not chaotic. Prices fair for what you get. Would come back if in the area.

Stopped by for a late lunch and grabbed a table near the window. The K&ouml;lsch was ice cold, just how it should be. Had the schnitzel with fries &mdash; decent portion, crispy enough. Place was busy but not chaotic. Old photos on the walls give it that proper local pub vibe. Service was friendly, though we waited a bit for the bill. Fine for a casual bite.

We came for dinner and I really liked how comfortable the seating was. The lamb shank was tender and had good flavor. Service was friendly but not hovering, which I appreciate. It&#39;s a nice spot if you want a relaxed evening without any fuss. Maybe a little pricey, but I left feeling satisfied.

The meat cannelloni was spot on, hot and tasty. Service dragged a bit though, big group that night probably didn&#39;t help.

Decent spot for a relaxed dinner. Had the tapas and a steak &ndash; both were fresh and flavorful. Staff were attentive but not hovering, which I appreciated. Place had a nice, easygoing vibe. Only minor thing: it got a bit noisy later in the evening. Still, pretty good overall for a casual meal.

The almond-stuffed dates with bacon were the highlight&mdash;really tasty. Portion sizes felt a bit small for what you pay, though. Cozy spot, but book ahead on weekends.

Great spot for our group of eleven, waiter kept everything running smoothly. Always consistent when I come back.

Landed hungry and grabbed a quick bite here before my flight. Chicken breast was actually juicy, not dry like most airport food. Service was fast enough that I didn&#39;t stress about boarding. Place was a bit busy but we found seats easily. Good spot if you&#39;re flying out and want something decent without the usual airport food gamble. 😊

Stopped by for a quick dinner and grabbed a few rolls. The spicy tuna one had a nice kick, sauce wasn&#39;t overpowering. Salad on the side was actually fresh, not the sad wilted stuff. Prices felt right for what you get. Would&#39;ve liked a sake option that wasn&#39;t too sweet, but the beer list covered me fine.

The view from up top is genuinely something else&mdash;whole city spread out, river curving through, cathedral right there. Spent way longer than planned just circling the platform. Good spot for photos if you catch a clear day. Only thing is the drink prices up there are steep, but you&#39;re paying for that panorama, I guess.

We came in after walking around all day, no reservation, just hungry. The tablet menu in English was a lifesaver, honestly. Staff pointed us to the pierogi and the bigos, both were solid. Portions are decent for the price, we left full without feeling ripped off. Place gets busy around 7, so go a bit earlier if you can.

Came here on a Tuesday night, place was busy but not packed. The tapas menu changes often, so I just asked the waiter what was good that day. Had the octopus and the pork belly &mdash; both solid, well seasoned. Portions are small, so order a few plates. Wine list is decent too. Nice spot for a relaxed dinner with friends.

The staff were really friendly and attentive, that always makes a difference. Pasta dishes were solid, I had the tagliatelle and it was cooked properly. Place was busy for a Tuesday, so service slowed down a bit towards the end. But nothing to complain about really. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Fresh ingredients, decent portions, and the build-your-own option works well. Staff got me through the line fast. Solid lunch spot if you&#39;re near the Dom.

The terrace view really is something else, and my cocktail was properly tasty. Only downside: the balcony got super smoky from other guests, so we couldn&#39;t chill there as long as I wanted. Still, a nice spot for a quick drink if you grab a good table.
