Fisherman's Restaurant
Style:
Guess what? It's a fish restaurant!
More:
Reviews:
The Berlin City Blog (in German) claims that this place is a "must" for fish lovers (they mean those who love fish on their plates). The location on the Tegel lake (Tegelsee) is ideal, and the chef is innovative.

Facil
Style:
Chef Restaurant, Fusion/International
More: At the fifth floor of The Mandala Hotel in Potsdamer Platz , well designed; 1 Michelin Star, 17 Gaullt Millau points.
Reviews:
Location Site adds: "opened in 2001, definitely has a place in the ranks of Berlin's finest dining locations. It is located on the fifth floor of the Mandala hotel on Potsdamer Platz. As one of the prime restaurants of Berlin, it offers both an outstanding international cuisine and a wonderfully relaxed, zen-like atmosphere. Elegant natural materials such as mahogany and marble were used to create the charming design of the restaurant, the glass roof allows to dine with a view of the sky. Chef de cuisine Michael Kempf regularly delivers inspiring menues that are light and perfectly prepared, his seafood creations are always worth a try. A recommendation not just for guests of the hotel!"
Fodor's, too, recommends this restaurant and calls it "one of Germany's top restaurants".

German cuisine and wine house

Reviews:
Eric Asimov, the wine critic for the New York Times, writes: "Another night, at the restaurant Florian, I had an even better bottle, a 2006 trocken Bürgstädter Centgrafenberg from the Franken producer Rudolf Fürst. This wine, too, was unusually light-colored and lively with an aroma of fresh berries, and with my roasted duck it was light and lithe, an excellent match."

Weinerei
Style:
Wine cellar/restaurant/cafe
More:
The Weinerei is a unique place, working on an honour system. You pay 1 EUR to be a member of the Weinerei Association for that night. For that, you get a glass and can start eating and drinking - at the end, you're expected to pay fairly, in the amount you think they deserve for what you ate and drank - please don't be a bastard and ruin it for the others.
The four branches vary: the Perlin has a theatre (experimental) and every Sunday has movie + wine tasting; the "Loch", the original Weinerei, is all about wine tasting; the Forum (which is sometimes closed for events) is also mostly for wine tasting with some small dishes; the Fra Rosa is a "real" restaurant in the evening, with cafe-fare during the day and is the place to come to if you want to try the Weinerei system for a light lunch.
Reviews:
The Weinerei is all the rage and has been mentioned in countless reviews, that would probably eventually appear here.

First Floor
Style:
Chef styled, exquisite, high-class
More:
First Floor is a high quality chef restaurant with one Michelin stars and 18/20 Gault Millau points.
Reviews:
Simon Kingsley, Variety, Jan 25 2008.
Fodor's: "Few hotel-restaurants become a sensation, but this award-winning one is outstanding, even if it doesn't shake the hotel-restaurant look with its carpeting and heavy drapes. Chef Matthias Buchholz prepares French cuisine like a native. Occasionally the menu turns to German roots, with Müritzlammrücken in Olivenkruste mit Bohnenmelange (Müritz lamb back in olive crust, served with green beans). The four-course menu costs EUR 71. If you're a wine connoisseur, ask sommelier Herr Tietz for a look at the wine list, which holds more than 800 red wines."

The luxurious food - think sauté of rabbit, snails and gambas with artichokes and tarragon jus - is served in sumptuous historic surroundings of the Regent Berlin hotel."
