Dining at TV tower - window seat reservation?

I've been a few times and the window seat thing depends on which booking channel you use. If you're booking through the restaurant's own reservation system on Sphere's website, there's a notes field where you can request it, but the main TV Tower ticket page doesn't offer that option anymore.

My honest take is that the food has gone downhill since they changed the menu about a year ago. The breakfast buffet is actually a better deal than dinner, and you still get the full view without paying the evening premium. The 9am slot is much easier to book a window seat for too.

nah they didn't get rid of it, it's just a bit buried now. when you book the restaurant reservation you have to add a note in the special requests field asking for window seating, they usually honor it if you're early enough

tbh the food is fine but nothing special, I'd rather go to the bar level for a drink and just enjoy the view without committing to the whole overpriced meal. sunset slot is the only time worth booking a table imo

The window seat option is still there, just not as obvious during booking. You need to make the reservation through Sphere's website rather than the TV Tower site, and there's a specific checkbox for "window table" in the extras section. Costs about 8 euros extra per person.

I'd skip dinner honestly. The food is standard tourist fare at premium prices, and the rotation is so slow you'll see the same view three times before dessert. Grab a drink at the bar level instead, it's half the price and you can still get a window spot if you go during off peak hours like 3pm on a weekday.

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
