I had the 200g Filet Mignon, boiled medium rare, with only butter on the side (I have none of the other sauces offered, I prefer to taste my steak, not the sauce in which it can drown). I had it accompanied by sweet potatories and sauteed spinach. The steak was cooked *perfectly*, and it was not a joke melt in your mouth delicious. Frankly, I was stunned how good it was. Previously, my experience with 'Steak' in Germany was the almost universal 'rumpsteak', which was found on the most typical German restaurant menus translation: lack of fun. The cut makes a difference, but the cook knows what he does on the grill. The sweet potato fries were another pleasant surprise, insofar as I have never seen them on a German restaurant menu. This is probably the result of being located in a hotel (the Marriott), which serves American business travelers. The sauteed spinach was good, but needed a bit of drainage, or to serve in a way that does not allow it to sit at the end in own juices. I had a glass of decent Rioja from the too short and too many German choices wine card. Overall, the meal was very good, although a little expensive. Given the other elections in the immediate vicinity, this was a good choice for me.
