"There's always a question (in my mind, anyway) as to Michelin's accuracy/usefulness outside of France. In the US, it's not very helpful at all and in Europe ex-France, I've found it hit and miss. Haerlin represented only my second stab at a two-star in Germany and the first meal (Heinz Winkler), while a thoroughly wonderful overall experience, felt like the second star might have been a stretch. Not so at Haerlin, this was a two-star meal that stands fork-to-fork with any I can remember.The food is stylized to within an inch of its life, but close to flawless in both conception and execution. Outside of a large selection of generally unremarkable breads and a luke-warm roasted onion broth added to an amuse at table side that probably should have been hotter, the meal was simply one perfect dish after another. Maybe the sorbet intermezzo was a little old school in such a fashion forward meal, but - hey - it was delicious! Keep it.The room is suitably formal, luxurious in a traditional style, and quite comfortable. The pace of service might be a little leisurely for some (I ate alone and the four-course menu (seven + courses, including amuses, etc) pushed it a bit, stretching just over three hours. However, the friendly and attentive staff kept an eye out the entire time and stopped by if the time between courses presented the opportunity.The somm, in particular, was a great diversion, visiting from time to time to discuss the varied and interesting wines on offer. He provided useful insight into the outstanding selection of trocken Rieslings on the list. He guided me to a 2001 Burklin-Wolf GG that, at Eu 150, was both a great bottle of mature white and a tremendous value for a wine of this quality in this type of restaurant. (Good luck finding a white burgundy of this quality at this price at any multi-star restaurant - or at retail, for that matter.) He also suggested a wonderful German Pinot Noir by the glass that worked perfectly with the meat course and wasn't terribly expensive. The list is extensive, but not the tome you see at some restaurants, but don't be fooled - wine service at Haerlin is both a major plus and represents notable value in the context of multi-star restaurants.I'm not going to argue two-star vs three-star because that distinction often seems to be kind of mysterious (and tangentially related to the food), but I will say that this place certainly deserves two stars. I had just a flat-out great meal. If you can work in a visit, Haerlin should be high on your list."

"I was with my friend and a friend of mine on a Saturday evening at themi eating. for me as a berliner it was a premiere and I went to the restaurant without prejudice. first of all: eating was great! it was authentic, fresh, delicious. I had typically a Gyros plate with tomato potatoes, salad and tzatziki. I would order it again and again...but to several points that have been missing me the laune: we had to wait for our first drink order as well as the main foods very long - for the main foods almost an hour. ok, the restaurant was almost booked but nevertheless. and since it was booked it was very tight, very tight. after we were sitting at our table, almost nobody came behind us. I can't understand that! for limited space and non-logical table distribution, guests cannot. the most annoyed me but the service: I was a bit healthily beaten and therefore only ordered a former. I got it with the words "here, your child beer". I find it disrespectful. something you can do if you know his guests and can estimate them accordingly. I also wanted to have a becker metaxasauce in addition to my Gyros plate. After I had expressed this wish at the order, I got a 10-minute submission, why it would be illogical, together you didn't taste it like that. 20 times I said, "ok, then they're putting it away from the order," I was tipped all night over from the waiter to the shoulder and asked if he should still bring me the sauce or if the decision was correct. completely annoying and superfluous!!!Factory: great eating, the rest has left me the laune - just a respectless staff, that has nothing to do with family or the like in my opinion."
