First things first: food is pretty good. We had the pork knuckle which was okay, the schnitzel was pretty good. We had a few beers, all in all good, at the end of the evening we asked for some tap water explicitly specifying tap water, our server returned with 2 glasses of water, mind you glasses, and not packaged bottles. Afterwards he brings us the bill and we have been charged 5+ euros for 2 glasses of water (mind you this is more than what 2 glasses of beer costed on the same bill) we were obviously disappointed but we decided not to say anything and just pay. While we were paying our server explicitly asked us for a tip, we normally would have but we already paid so much for the water, which was disappointing and not okay when explicitly asked for tap water, so we decided to forgo tipping, either way asking explicitly for a tip and putting your customer in an awkward spot is not cool. I think our server expected us to be American and unaware of tipping culture in Germany, which was not the case as we were visiting from NL where we only tip for good service and not for scammy behaviour. Left a bad taste in my mouth after a pretty decent meal.
