I have read the previous posts about these restaurants..but still do not know which one to pick!
We are staying only one night in Berlin and we want the dinner to be memorable, but don%26#39;t want the food to be horrible. We are leaning towards the TV tower because the views and food seem to be a little better---is this true?
Can you skip the queue at the TV tower with reservations like at the Reichstag?

I can%26#39;t really give a balanced view as I haven%26#39;t eaten at the Reichstag, but I have eaten at the TV Tower (twice) and can recommend it.
The first time was in December and we arrived at about 7pm with no queue. The food was great and I felt it was very good value.
We ate there again two weeks ago with our two children (11 and 7) and again, had a fantastic evening.
The second time we had to wait about 15 mins so it might be worth booking - 030 242 3333.
Each table is arranged in a circle around the central bar and it moves very slowly to give an impressive view of Berlin. The food was great - we missed the starters as they are large and went for a main course and dessert. I ate stuffed pork roulade and it came accompanied by generous portions of vegetables.
Dessert was ice-cream or delicious cakes. For the four of us (children ate adult meals) it was close to 100 euros with a bottle of delicious Riesling.
The service was efficient and friendly and we make a point of eating there as I don%26#39;t think you can beat the views and the ambience.
Whatever you decide, enjoy!

Dinner at the Reichstag is a lot pricier, which is why we opted for lunch when we went (group celebration). Even lunch is dearer than TV Tower although I think you have to pay entrance to TV tower even if eating there. Perhaps Jane can confirm this?. I also think you have to queue with everyone else to get in (only one lift).
I%26#39;ve only had a drink at the bar (a decision we made once we were up there). From what I%26#39;ve seen more variety on TV Tower menu than Reichstag. Food was OK in Reichstag but nothing amazing; setting was special but I think TV Tower is too because the views are wonderful.

Yes, you have to pay the entrance fee on top of the meal price.
When we were there two weeks ago it was 8.50 euros for adults and 4.00 euros for children.
Unless you have booked a table, you may have to wait at the bottom of the stairs until one becomes free, but the staff are very good and the views while you wait are spectacular.
