The Scene – At Handke's, you'll dine in a vaulted rathskeller, the basement of the old Schlee Brewery that was established in the 19th century and flourished until World War I. The massive stone walls are dramatic, set against Handke's elegant interior. Also an on-air pitchman for Meier's Stores grocery department, German Hartmut Handke is one of only 68 officially designated "master chefs" in the world, which is reflected in the level of skill he applies to every plate. – – The Food – Herb-crusted rack of lamb is handled carefully and served with rosemary-mint jus.…
Great food

I went to this restaurant on valentines day so they had a preplanned menu. All of our dishes were excellent and our service was good. It is quite expensive but it is worth treating youself to
VERY OVER RATED

Very overpriced, our meal for 2 came to $160 and we didn't order drinks. Waited several minutes to be seated even though the restaurant was empty and we had a reservation. Food was mediocre at best. It was like they were trying too hard to be gourmet, but really the dishes were not very creative or tasty. Many better restaurants around C-bus that serve more delicious food at a fraction of the price.
- Pros: Famous name
- Cons: expensive, food is average
Average!!

I had heard some great things about this place. The atmosphere is great the place was packed on a Saturday. Our reservations were for 9:45 pm and it was still packed. Great waitstaff but not overly impressed with the food. I expected much more. Thats not to say the food was bad it was very good, I guess with all the hype my expectations were higher.
