Dinner for 2. Mini bar area at entrance, only 6 dining tables in main hall. Lounge (for drinks) and restrooms above.Not a big menu. Wine list was ok. Ordered a glass of Pouilly-Fume.Bread with herb butter. Nice.As “häppchen” (ie bite-sized appetizer) went for the David Herve Royale oysters. Server recommended taking a bite of the butter/chived bread to cleanse the palette beforehand. Oyster was premarinated with a raspberry vinaigrette which balanced the plump, meaty and sweet oyster flesh.Order

Bread with herb butter. Nice.

Ordered several starters to share.
Gazpacho (cold soup made of raw, blended vegetables) with focaccia crackers. Refreshing.
Salad with Belper Knolle cheese, shaved at the table. This cheese is infused with garlic and rolled in ground black pepper, with an intense cream-like flavor. Matched well with apricot and peppers.
Beef tartare with white onion and porcini mushroom. Quite a big portion. Came with 2 pieces of sour dough bread. Not bad.
3 pieces of pan fried scallops with cauliflower. Scallops tasted good on their own, we found the white sauce too salty.
From the bar: sausage with chips.
Decided to skip main course and proceeded straight to dessert: white peach yogurt sorbet with crumble. Refreshing but a bit too bland.
In summary: nice modern German cuisine. Friendly attentive service. Locally sourced produce. Better to go in a group to try more dishes.
