I found the decor of the restaurant uninspiring (some sort of industrial style, no tablecloths, and uncomfortable chairs). The food was not very inspiring. Some of the dishes were good (the mackerel), others disappointing (the asparagus and lobster dishes were particularly lackluster). In general, the restaurant subscribes to the style of serving a menu consisting of many dishes (five to seven, though it used to be possible to have a 4-dish menu too), each of the size of a large bite, over the course of 3.5h circa. It feels very repetitious: a tiny dish, with a couple of emulsions on the side, and a reduced broth poured at service. It takes the joy out of eating. It's a pity, because the idea of revisiting Northern German classics had merit. If they just made a 3 course menu --- starter, main, dessert), with each dish of reasonable size for human consumption, around the 70-80 Euro mark, there would be some sense. Like this it's just a sterile showing off of the same skills and ideas repeated dish after dish. Overall, I found the food boring, the decor cold and impersonal, and the overall experience not worth its high price (about 180 Euro per person excluding wine).
