Has been a favourite of mine for many years. I did not mind the "higher than average" prices as food and service used to be better than at most places in the area. Saturday I returned for the first time since the pandemic and since I have stopped eating meat. Both of these life altering events might make me reconsider my lil Austrian fling: For the first time neither service nor food convinced. The Schnitzel was really good, says the hubby, but my cauliflour just didn't not live up to the expectations that came with the hefty price tag of 23€. It tasted way better than it looked, but still was too expensive. Also the service lacked. We waited almost an hour for our food, appetizers, one of which was just bread, took 40 minutes and the apperitif was forgotten. All of this can happen, the waitress was super busy. But I missed a friendly word or any type of acknowledgement that things just weren't as good as should have been. That attitude is what makes me not want to go back. I am from Berlin. I am not bothered by lack of enthusiasm in service. But still, it was a truly disappointing experience. Also, on a different note, nobody checked if we complied with the 3Gs. Something that made us feel a bit uncomfortable as well.
Two of the three stars are for the sake of good old times at Schneeweiß. It is still a good choice for Schnitzel, but that just does not cut it for me anymore. For a bill over 100€ for two I am expecting better.
