The waitress clearly forgot how to smile! Not very friendly at all! Unfortunately there was a mouse running around the restaurant!

Fantástico almuerzo en Cigalon en su habitación privada. Impresionante entorno para un almuerzo de negocios para grupos pequeños. Personal atento, precios precios precios preciosos y bien equilibrado en proporción para un almuerzo. Sin duda en algún lugar que voy a reservar de nuevo.

I was a little apprehensive as I actually booked this place thinking it was something else, we went along with it anyway. We were sat downstairs which was fine, the tables are very close together though and feels a little uncomfortable. Could do with an update, some of the internals look like they are from the 80s… The server took our order and the starters were with us in minutes, slightly concerned with that but actually they were fantastic! And large portions. The plates were whipped away where completed, I thought we may have a moment to relax and chat but almost instantly the mains were with us. Again, the food was very very nice, lots of flavour and very fresh. As per another review it did feel extremely rushed and like a conveyor belt, we were in and out within 50 minutes. Which doesn’t feel very welcoming, plus the 12.5% service charge (London tax we call it) wasn’t really worth it. I know I could take it off but I normally leave a tip anyway. If you want a quick tasty meal then absolutely go here, if you want a relaxing meal with a chat and nice wine I would suggest going else where.

I've been to the Alchemist in Berlin several times and I have to say, the store looks impressive in Berlin. In London it looked more like a normal bar or pub. You have the option of coming without a reservation, but then you have to sit in a certain corner. What I found very inconvenient here was that you had to get your own drinks at the bar. This shop actually thrives on visual effects, such as bubbling or smoking drinks. For example, there is a cocktail where the liquid is in a kind of waffle ice cream cone and with the help of a “smoke gun” the ball of smoke is placed on top. Here in Berlin it is done at the table, you can take pictures, admire it and then let the ball burst into smoke. Here the whole thing will not survive the journey to the table. The shop was full, the glasses were very full and you always had to be careful not to spill anything. While in our case one cocktail bubbles for a long time, in London it felt like it was over after a few seconds. On the first visit we had the same cocktail only once with and once without alcohol. I asked three times which was which and in the end I got the wrong one, namely the one with alcohol. You pay directly at the bar, which I think is good, but the music is almost unbearably loud, you really have to scream at yourself. The tables aren't wiped down either, so if you do, it's better to go to the Alchemist in Berlin.
