Lutter & Wegner

For Germans, this restaurant has special significance because the odd word "Sekt" for sparkling wine had been invented here out of a joke. The restaurant still has a cozy, historic atmosphere which has, however, been spoilt since it has become overrun by tourists.
The food is mostly Austrian and pretty mediocre. There are many restaurants in Berlin which serve a better Wienerschnitzel.

While the food here is good, our second visit (after a rushed but fairly pleasant first visit) was a disaster. We had just received our aperitif and taken a sip when our food arrived. Although we had ordered a bottle of wine we were given two classes of wine. When we ordered a second glass, one person brought two more classes and the waiter anther two glasses. When we told him we didn't want the third glass he had a bit of a hissy fit. When we finished, we waited about 15 minutes for the waiter to take our dessert order. We ordered one of their specials and then waited another 20 minutes before giving up and getting the check. A very unpleasant evening. Never again.
