  My trip to Germany: The Gastronomic experience at Lutter & Wegner such a deception

  This is the kind of places that makes you sad when travelling. And it is so because normally people create expectations about specific places they want to visit. I created my own about Lutter & Wegner and it was such a deception. Everything started when I called to make the reservation. The person on the phone was extremely rude, but I naïvely thought it was because of my poor German. The dreamed day arrived and finally there I was at Lutter & Wegner. The waitress was not gentile at all when she showed me the table and gave me the menu. But again I convinced myself that everything was going to be better when the food and the wine were in my table. It was the biggest deception ever in my gastronomic experience around the world. The food was cold, the wine was tasteless and the service was horrible. Everything was overpriced and latter I discovered better places in Berlin, less pretentious and more delicious.

  Lutter & Wegner Review

  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.

  Understaffed and rushed

  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.
