Not just any German restaurant, Marjellchen serves traditional dishes from the formerly German territories of Eastern Prussia, now part of Poland, Lithuania and Russia. Expect delicious Slavic-influenced dishes. Try the bartsch soup, followed by Köningsberger Klopse. Possibly the best thing about Marjellchen is the old-world feel; dark walls are hung with darker paintings, a record player crackles yesterday's tunes and the owners stand at the bar.
The service is excellent, with a German woman who appears to truly appreciate a "thank you" or "that was wonderful" when picking up the dishes after a meal. (In English or German, BTW, she has an excellent command of English.) This is a very friendly, cozy neighborhood restaurant that appears to get a lot of tourist diners, and with good reason. A dinner menu from yesteryear, and from a world that no longer exists, so lots of nostalgia. Go early or make a reservation, as I was there on a Monday evening, and they were full by 7:30PM. Worth it for the old world menu, the portion sizes, the atmosphere and friendly service.
