The food was really good again, and the owner being around definitely keeps things on point. Only thing&mdash;it gets pretty warm inside, so go light on layers. I was sweating a bit by the end.

Decent pub grub, burgers are solid&mdash;some of the better ones I&rsquo;ve had around here. Service dragged a bit on a busy evening, but nothing painful. Fine if you&rsquo;re nearby and don&rsquo;t want to overthink it.

We came here for a friend&#39;s birthday, group of 10, and they had a nice table ready for us. The cannelloni and tiramisu were really good, honestly everything we ordered hit the spot. Staff was friendly and checked in on us without being annoying. Only tiny thing&mdash;it got a bit loud as the evening went on, but we were a big group too, so fair enough 😄

The outdoor seating is lovely, and the wine list has some nice options. I went for the grilled vegetables with quinoa&mdash;fresh, not overcooked, exactly what I needed. Service was friendly, though it took a moment to get the bill. A decent spot to relax after work.

We stopped in after our train got delayed, and honestly the staff was so kind about it. They even helped us in English, which I really appreciated. The food was fresh and tasted homemade, not heavy at all. They brought us tea and a little dessert on the house, which felt thoughtful. Just a nice, calm place to land.

The moussaka was kinda bland, but the gyros with Metaxa sauce hit the spot. Window view of the old town is the real reason to come.

Came here on a quiet Tuesday night, place was half full. Had the venison goulash, sauce was rich and the meat fell apart. Ragout Fin was decent too, not too heavy. Kaiserschmarrn for dessert, fluffy and not overly sweet. Digestif selection is solid if you&#39;re into that. Service was fine, nothing fancy. Prices fair for what you get.

Dropped by for dinner and honestly the pasta with paprika and shrimp was the highlight. Light, not drowning in sauce. Bruschetta was decent too. Tiramisu to finish, pretty solid. Place was a bit busy but we got a table fine. Nothing fancy, just good food. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area.

Pizza came fast, hot, and the crust was actually decent. Staff didn&rsquo;t mess around, got me in and out in 20 minutes. That&rsquo;s all I needed for a quick lunch. Place was busy but they kept it moving. Solid stop if you&rsquo;re in a hurry and don&rsquo;t want to waste time.

Nice spot with a good wine list. Gabriella took care of us well. Seats were comfy enough to linger a bit longer than planned.

We had a great meal here! The food was delicious, the server was friendly, and the restaurant itself is beautifully designed. Highly recommend!

Cozy spot with a nice vibe. Staff were friendly, food was decent. Kitchen got a bit backed up when it got busy, but nothing crazy.

The homemade iced tea paired surprisingly well with the sushi&mdash;nice to see a place put thought into non-alcoholic drinks. Service was sharp too.

The interior really got me&mdash;cozy, warm, beautifully put together. Felt like a little escape from the outside. Just wish it wasn&#39;t so quiet, but that&#39;s on me.

Friendly staff, helped us find a spot with the stroller. Service was quick too. Nothing fancy but solid for a casual stop.

The spaghetti alle vongole was decent, but the carbonara felt too heavy on cream and eggs. I liked the room though &mdash; warm light, not too loud. Could sit there a while without being rushed. Maybe not the most authentic pasta, but fine for a casual evening.

The lunch special here is a solid deal&mdash;sushi was fresh and the rice tasted like what I had in Tokyo. Portion size was decent for the price.

We showed up with pretty basic German and the staff was super chill about it. Patient, friendly, didn&#39;t make us feel dumb. Food was solid too. Place felt welcoming, like they actually wanted us there. Not fancy or anything, but that was fine. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stopped by for a beer and a quick bite. The house kolsch is solid, worth ordering again. Food comes from the butcher shop next door&mdash;fresh, simple, does the job. Nothing fancy, but that&rsquo;s fine. Place has a good local vibe, easy to relax in. Service was straightforward, no complaints. Decent stop if you&rsquo;re in the area and want something unpretentious.

Lovely old building and the waiter was super friendly. Menu had plenty of options, which I always appreciate. Solid choice for a relaxed dinner.

The sushi here is made with real care, no doubt about it. Just don&#39;t come if you&#39;re in a hurry&mdash;slow pace, but worth it when you&#39;ve got time to chill.

The outdoor terrace is lovely for summer evenings, that&rsquo;s for sure. Peanut butter fans will be happy here, lots of options. We grabbed a table without waiting, but I imagine it gets busy later. Nice spot for a relaxed date, though I&rsquo;d book ahead if you&rsquo;re coming on a weekend. Just wish the seating was a bit more comfortable.

The koobideh was really soft and juicy, probably the best I&#39;ve had in Germany. Torshi and mast-o-khiar tasted properly homemade too.

The build-your-own-bowl thing is pretty fun &mdash; pick your sauce and watch them stir-fry it fresh. Loads of veggie options too. Just wish the line moved a bit faster.

Lunch came fast, like 15 minutes, and the packaging was solid. The curry had plenty of veggies and was really filling. Portion size is generous, I even had leftovers for later.
