Summary:

- Food Quality:
Overall very good;
~Wagyu was slightly chewy for grade 10,
~Duck - slightly poor cooking technique, insufficient resting time/pan temperature control (see photo, not bad, but the rare region lacked flavor),
+ otherwise nice diversity of textures and flavors

- Service:
Male Staff: Unfriendly, rushed, and dismissive.
Female Staff: Professional and friendly, albeit slightly robotic in dish recitation, very attentive

- Ambience: Good lighting and music, but overall lacks warmth by the staff, especially for a "Casual fine dining"

- Staff Interaction: Minimal; no engagement from sous chef or head chef.

- Handling of Reservation Error: Unprofessional response to birthday misunderstanding (unfriendly call hours before the confirmed reservation, followed by a detectable unfriendliness by waiter (male) and absence of any interaction with the kitchen. It's always a good insight into a restaurant how they handle minor errors/misunderstandings.

- Overall Impression: Heartless atmosphere with evident classism, undermining the quality of the truly good food.

In summary:
Despite the high standard of the food, the overall impression was marred by a palpable sense of heartlessness and an air of unapologetic classism. The lack of sincere hospitality, coupled with the staff's annoyance by a reservation misunderstanding (marked reservation as birthday as this was a birthday gift), resulted in an experience that was, regrettably, more alienating than enjoyable.

The price and food is indicative of a one star Michelin restaurant, the delivery and human element of the craftsmanship is a stain to the establishment.

Another note:
I heard you questioning/condescending another customers decaffeinated cappuccino order with the other staff in the kitchen, I understand it may not be the best option, but neither is your judgement, don't serve what you openly judge.

Ironically disgusted.

For sure one of the best places in Hannover. 5 dishes plus truffel upgrade. Pure taste and pleasure. Dessert to be slidely improved. But all over a dinner to be. Winelist is comprehensive but with some highlights for reasonable prices. Please continue...

Best dinner experience I've had so far. Excellent presentation, taste and variety. Staff is the friendliest and explained the dishes in the most convenient way. Price is well worth the experience and you do get several extra taste dishes on top of the 6 course meal.

Came hungry, left full, both in appetite and of joy.

Recommend to any foodie out there who has not tried it yet.

This place is exquisite! The plating is creative, innovative and imaginative. The combination of varying food groups and unique compositions make for a beautiful, memorable evening.
The staff are superb, delightful and well educated on the ingredients and wine pairings. They also gladly accommodate for people with dietary preferences and allergies.
The quality sits high above any usual "fine dining" found in the most parts of Germany, and as two foodies, we have long awaited an evening such as we had this evening. If you are familiar with Melbourne fine dining you will feel at home here.
And lastly, the interior designer did a fabulous job, the finished interior serves as a last compliment to all the above! It's contemporary and includes stylish and quirky artwork paired with comfortable seating and an open kitchen to watch the masters at work! Thank you so so much! You're all brilliant! :)
