Bistrobar Berlin

Made a reservation, noted gluten and dairy as dietary restrictions. The reservation i made was for inside of the restaurant, instead we were placed right next to the street, so every car and bus passing, was inches from us and our food. Okay, fine. As we were seated, the server brought a menu in Dutch with notations, things that are non-compliant marked with an X, things that can be made to accommodate marked with an A, and things without a mark that are compliant. And the same menu in English. Great start. We made the selections, i specifically reiterated to the server one of the things I'm ordering needs to be altered to accommodate the restrictions. After some wait, the food arrived. Placed in front of me was, from what i could tell, the original dish. I asked if there's gluten in these crackers, the server didn't know. Go ask please. Sure enough, the crackers had gluten in them. When we ask you to accommodate dietary restrictions, do you think we're playing?!?! Do we think we do this for fun?!?! I don't know if the server didn't relay this to the kitchen or the kitchen didn't care but that's just reckless and dangerous. This is a Michelin recommended restaurant. The food was meh. The spare ribs were okay but the sauces that went with them my dining partner didn't like very much. I ordered the razor clam salad which was tiny, which i can forgive, but all you could taste was garlic. And then there were the mashed baby potatoes. Not mashed, just 4 or 5 of them, tiny, cooked and cut in half, with some lettuce added, some egg white, some i assume canned olives and then drowned in a sauce that was essentially mayonnaise. So every bit was a spoonful of mayonnaise. Just no. It wasn't cheap either but I'll gladly pay for a good meal. This was not that. Food was borderline atrocious and the service was just plain bad. What a letdown.
