We had a wonderful experience. Our host was every courteous, nothing was too much trouble and the schnitzels and sautéed potatoes were superb. The coffee and pretzel was great too. Unfortunately your Christmas menu kicks in now, we will be back for our schnitzels again in January.

Lovely, warm and cosy atmosphere, a little calm oasis. We had dinner before a show. Service was timely and very friendly. The food was delicious. Take me up taking me back to my time working in Germany. We had an accessibility need the staff make sure that we were accommodated appropriately. We will be going back!

What a great find! The terrace at the back of the building, which opens onto a lovely green square has to be one of the nicest in South Ken and beyond. The food and service were excellent, I could hardly move after pretzel, schnitzel and black forest gateaux (in a good way!). The beer was just the right accompaniment to the terrace and the food. We will definitely go again.

Nurnberger platter – wonderful
Brotkorb – very nice
Vogerlsalad with potatoes etc. – nice but, I was expecting something more like a typical German potato salad (plenty of potatoes well dressed with stock/vinaigrette, no mayo) and a few more salad leaves for the price. Lovely bacon/speck though!
But just sitting on the terrace with a Helles was a delight anyway...

Well located for visiting The Albert Hall, nicely presented restaurant, a warm welcome. Food was fine, personally I found the mini sausages lacking in flavour, the flammkutchen missing the bacon ordered as extra but quickly rectified. Would have ordered dessert just left us a touch too long to return to take our order so we had to go. London typical prices, given its location, fair enough.

PROS: Excellent venue and absolutely delicious food. Reserving tables for my 54th birthday was very easy, thanks to the manager.
CONS: Our waitress couldn’t understand us when we were giving the German names for the dishes; not enough staff on duty, which resulted in long waits; the waitress showed that she wasn’t pleased about our request to split the bill.

We very much enjoyed our meal at Stein's. The waiters were very friendly, and one member of staff made a special effort to find us a table away from the doors. Most of the food was extremely good, although I found the wild boar ragout a bit too salty, and the red cabbage, although good, was not warm as promised on the menu. The trout and the beef roulade were apparently very good. The plates had not been warmed (or at least not enough), so the food cooled down too quickly. The German red house wine was a bit overpriced for what is really quite a rough table wine (although I actually like that kind of wine with food, so I did enjoy it). We really liked the photos (presumably all from Germany?) on the wall on the way to the toilets. The lock to the cubicle in the men's toilets was broken.
So, overall, a really enjoyable experience, friendly service and great food, but a bit more attention to detail maybe needed in certain minor areas. We will come again!

An amazing place for everyone who likes German food and drinks. And the food and drinks are very, very good and authentic - and I can judge since I am German myself.
Service is ok but not very attentive, atmosphere nice but missing any German flavour expect the photo wall paper. Prices are expectedly on the higher side, the location and exclusivity has to be laid for. Overall, an enjoyable experience and we will come back

The food was sublime. Beer was perfect. Could not fault it.
The service was good, however slightly lacking in attention. We had to wait some time to be greeted and offered drinks once seated, and the same delay occurred when we wanted to leave, as we had a show to catch.
The communal bench seating however made it difficult for us to sit comfortably at the table, as the people on the bench behind us were rubbing backs and elbows with us throughout the meal, as there was no space. In fact, I had to sit side saddle with my knees sticking out into the aisle.
Instead of trying to cram as many people as possible, perhaps consider your guests comfort?

The restaurant was lovely. I was pleased to get a table of our own, as I don’t like the shared table concept.
The starter (a cold meat and cheese platter) was lovely. However, I was really disappointed with the main - Wiener schnitzel with Bratkartoffeln. The schnitzel was dry and quite tasteless and the potatoes were soggy and also quite tasteless. I was expecting better things really.
Service and value for money was fine.

Terrible table layout. We were first shown to a table with a hanging light over the centre - which i hit my head on if leaning forward to talk to my husband. It only needs to be raised- tied in a knot. Fortunately there was another table available or we would have left.

An enjoyable experience marred by the noise level -no curtains, carpets or tablecloths- and by the rather miserable Flammkuchen, not a patch on those served alongside the Spree. But we would return to find a quieter time (ours was 1700-1900hrs on a Sunday!)

Excellent food and ambiance, our only slight criticism on this occasion was that the service/delivery of food was slightly slow yesterday due to the restaurant being totally full. Overall, a great experience - thank you!

Lots of south-east German fare - the mixed sliced meats platter would satisfy any carnivore - accompanied by good and pleasant service. Sitting on a sunny terrace would have rounded off the experience were it not for the entirely unecessary and ambience-spoiling music. To loud to ignore, to soft to complain about, just entirely unecessary.

Our server had to have us point to the menu for every item that we ordered. He appeared to struggle using the handheld computer to input our order. Every question resulted in him leaving to go ask someone. Our food and drinks took a good while to come out. The atmosphere is very spartan with hard food benches for most of the seats. With that said the food was excellent. Based on my experience I would recommend sitting outside on their terrace although to my knowledge they don't take reservations for that small, nice outdoor area.

Staff struggled with English (and the German menu) a bit, but they were very attentive. The food is slightly overpriced, but very tasty and authentic. However, while everything was great overall, I must express my disappointment with the Obatzda. It was simply cream cheese, not following the original recipe and had too much seeds (caraway/fennel?) in it. Obatzda is not for everyone and it was clearly a version that would please more people but for someone who wanted ‘real’ Obatzda this would be a disappointment. Beer could be colder.

Stein is lovely with very attentive and friendly waiters. The food is good and the prices very reasonable indeed. A great find. And the terrace will be most enjoyable once the weather improves. I am looking forward to our next meal with you. I. Marsh

First time at Steins. I liked the decor and the ambience was nice. The jazzy show tunes were nice but I personally would have liked to hear some contemporary German music. Portion sizes were generous. The server who seated us was very informative about the lunch offer. However, I think it may have helped if the server who took the order had mentioned what they would recommend for a lunch or a evening meal. All the food looked great but the schnitzel portions were huge, so may have been better suited to the evening. It wasn't busy when we arrived and we had to wait a bit - about 20 mins for the food. May have been handy to suggest some nibbles to have kept us going. Overall, I did enjoy the food, so I would definitely be back.

My colleague and I had lunch at Stein's because it is very near to our office. The restaurant felt a little chilly (air con). Food was very good - the beef burger very juicy, with tasty potatoes, the Flammkuchen good as always. We didn't consume anything else.

Lovely venue, amazing food, tentative, well presented and personable staff. Venue still appears to be ‘new’ with chairs still in packaging in the main restaurant and there was no loo roll or replacement in either female toilet (yes, did inform and believe it was put in but felt the toilets should have been checked as we were one of the first bookings)

Very enjoyable supper before the Proms. From the items on the menu, it could just as easily be called "Munich" as "Berlin". Nice to have some Munich lager, but it was a little flat. The sauerkraut and the potato salad were very authentic!
