Has anyone been to Berlin (or lives there!) and can recommend a good German restaurant/gasthaus that serves a variety well-made, basic German food like schnitzel, wurstsalat, spaetzel, maultaschen, wurst, etc.? We are all going to be staying in or near central Berlin.
Thank you!

That's pretty standard cuisine that you will find at any restaurant (and it's super hard to screw up schnitzel) including most Italian restaurants. Did you check any of the travel websites?

We were in Berlin for a week. It’s a very international city with an impressive array of restaurant cuisines, and we never ran across a restaurant that billed itself as serving German food. But we didn’t stay in a tourist area. And we were visiting my student son, who seemed to be living on doners (Turkish).
My impression is that a lot of what I always thought of as “German” food is more specifically Bavarian. I researched the trip to include Munich and there was much more talk of German food there.
Try the Berlin forum on Trip Advisor (searching or asking the question). Have fun!

I'd look at tripadvisor.

You MUST go to the KaDeWe Department Store.
"Back to the 6th floor where the most popular food bar also is one of the best, I’m talking about the iconic oyster bar “Austernbar” where you can get a fairly large selection of raw oysters with a glass of champagne or sekt. Very straightforward stuff with a couple of different oyster varieties and a very limited and traditional selection of bubbly (borderline boring actually). The fish bar next to the Austernbar is also pretty decent. My favourite destination is the German sausage bar in the back though where a couple of polite gentlemen offer a wide repertoire of Germany’s finest sausages, which they gladly will fry or boil for you a la minute. Served with some of the best sauerkraut and potato salad you can get, this is truly one of the best places for a German sausage feast in Berlin."
