Best. Schnitzel. Ever…read more This was my birthday dinner, and it was perfect. The restaurant is a bar and a room for roughly 24 people. No reservations. Waiting is standing room only. But it was worth it. Very much worth it. We both ordered the Schnitzel - since we did not want to share. Their wine selection is small but very good as well. I tried a few of their whites by the glass. Portions were perfect and the room was cheery and warm. Next time I will save room for dessert.

I walked the streets for over an hour finding this place and working up my appetite. Upon entering,…read moreI saw a bustling, too busy for words or greetings staff doing what needed to be done to satisfy the already packed house. But then... appeared in the doorway between the bar and the first small dining room, a middle aged man with herring bone rimmed glasses and a chef's stature, looking like he belonged. Our eyes met and I moved slowly closer to him to question if they were still serving. (fear set in that it was after nine on a Saturday night with a packed house they would tell me they are out of food). The gentleman introduced himself as Sven, the owner and chef and pointed to a small table they obviously squeezed in for single diners like myself. A woman server quickly set the table, seated me and handed me tonight's menu. Hand written (by Sven himself) in German, I struggled to grasp just one dish to be recognizable. NOT! When the server returned, I asked her what alphabet this menu was written in? She said the chef writes the menu every night in his own handwriting, and she proceeded to read and translate in English the offerings of the night. All sounded incredibly creative and amazing, so my reply was, "what is everyone raving about tonight?" She suggested the Pepper Steak on a bed of Navy, Lima and Green beans. And the Swordfish Carpaccio. I asked her to wine pair the best of what was 'by the glass' and that she did. An Italian Rosé with the Carpaccio and a Portuguese Cabernet Sauvignon with the Steak. A whole lot more action and another glass of wine occurred and wow, oh wow what an amazing culinary and night on the town with Sven unfolded. I could go on and on here... it was my last night in Hamburg which is why I opted to dine in the best I could find. Well it turned out to be Sven's last night as he was 'moving on' (not retiring) but just done with this chapter of his life. Upon finishing my main course, Sven politely joined me at my table and told me his story of how he started the restaurant 33 year's ago. He pulled a delightful older man close to him and began kissing his bald head and telling me how much he loved this man. The man had been with the restaurant for 28 years as the kitchen coordinator/dishwasher/busboy and all 'round go-to man behind the scenes. It was obviously an emotional moment for both these guys. Sven gestured to the bartender to pour me another glass of wine (on the house) and continued his story about how the German government offers a €100,000 tax deduction if you've started a business and sell it at age 55. Sven proceeded to invite me out on the town with him for a few more drinks in the St. George district where he knew all the local pubs and lots and lots of people. He even walked me to the train station to make sure I got on the right train back to my hotel. Anyway... so much more to this story... Bottom line... I'm sure the quality of food coming out of this kitchen will sustain because the staff obviously loved Sven and were sad to see him go. The understudies in the kitchen are apparently who bought the restaurant and planned on changing nothing. I hope I run into Sven again someday... maybe in Portugal or the Azores!

This place is hard to review. The vibe and the atmosphere weree 4.5 *'s - as other reviewers have…read moresaid, it's a pleasantly unpretentious place. The food was about 2 *'s and it's definitely a case of quality over quantity. I got currywurst - the curry sauce tasted bottled, and the sausage wasn't well cooked. My kids got schnitzel and they said it was "mid". Honestly I think German food kind of caps out at 4 *'s - there's only so much you can do with boiled potatoes and kraut and sausages.

That's probably the only downside for me as I am vegetarian and they lack a bit in that department but I always get the "Bauernfrühstück" without the ham. This is basically an Omelette with potatoes and pickled cucumbers on top and it taste just like I remember it from my childhood, so just for that I go there ... I am sure they even have more dishes that are vegetarian but I never tried. The most special thing will be their opening hours as their kitchen is open all night long which makes the place also popular among party people also there is a table reserved for cab drivers.

When I asked what's going on he told me it's the cooks fault, he's on the phone chatting with his friends and no following orders. Also, there are many other orders ahead of us. Very unprofessional behavior and inconsistent with what he told me earlier... Anyhow the food was not great. As an Austrian I know how to make a Schnitzel. It was way too thick and funnily it was very dry (we live across the street so it was out of the container within minutes). Either the oil was too cold or it wasn't swiveled enough - it did not blow up (soufflieren) The Kartoffelsalat was not authentic, maybe a German interpretation or perhaps from the store. Also, who serves a Schnitzel whitout lemon? The gulasch was not quite what I expected - it was not terrible, it was just not the Wiener Saftgulasch I would usually get. There was a very noticeable layer of fat floating in the top. The consistency was quite Gooey - must have been from the cheese in the Knödel. Its more like a stroganoff with old beef bits. Knödel we're okay. A bit heavy on the cheese - pretty much only cheese flavor.

We were lucky enough to snag a table this evening, considering that every time we passed by they were fully booked. It is a very nice "business casual" restaurant. If you want a good deal it is 39eur on Monday nights for a 3 course meal. The food was amazing! I ordered the oxtail tartare expecting it to be gamey, but it wasn't at all. The duck portion of my main me was small, but as I came to the end of my meal, I realized it was enough. If you are looking for a nice night out, I'd definitely recommend coming here.
