Except for one of the five courses, all were delicious (and the other was certainly not a disaster ;) just a little pedestrian, easily doable at home). They have a good selection of wines under 40€ too; our waiter actually recommended us to go with bottles rather than their carefree wines, water, coffee offer, and I think she was right. good times were had! :)

However, I thoroughly recommend it as lunchtime business venue or evening romantic spot. Situated on the busy Bei den Muhren, overlooking the water, we were able to watch the usual Hamburg weather (bright sunshine then aggressive winds and then torrential rain) rush past in the space of a relaxing 1.5 hours The restaurant itself is large and spacious with an open and modern design. Window tables such as we had I think will be much more pleasant than the inner tables. The 3 course daily lunch menu was excellent and very decent value for this quality of food: A lovely and delicate / frothy asparagus soup, tuna steak on a tomato risotto and a delicate fruit tart with ice-cream. Only minor quibble would be the speed of service - fine for a leisurely evening meal, but perhaps a little slow for a lunchtime off the set menu. But overall a really good discovery. I will be back.

Huge thanks to my team for finding a vegetarian friendly menu in Hamburg! If you know German food,…read morethere is a lot of meat involved. Kleinhuis has a great selection of German favorites including a cauliflower steak for our vegetarian friends. Honestly, so hard to pick when so many things look good. I decided on the venison meatballs since they were circled in red. So glad I did. They were so moist and delicious. The meatballs are placed over cheesy potatoes with pickles and fruit. The combination is on point! Our waiter was funny and friendly. The only downside was service was slower. I don't know if it's because I'm an American and I don't know how to enjoy my meals or service was truly slow. Not a deal breaker since it allowed our table to talk and connect more.

I don't know if it was because we ate there late on Valentine's Day and the chef was just fed up or…read moresomething, but we had a *terrible* experience here. The restaurant was freezing cold. The food took a very long time to come out, despite it being a menu fixe. Every dish was overcooked except the dessert, which was completely uninspired. The food was pretty expensive for what it was. The decor was unimpressive and there is no decent view, which is too bad for a restaurant so close to the water. I really cannot recommend it.

Three types of fish pan fried with potatoes. Sooo good. Service was a little slow and had a bit of a language barrier - but one of the staff stepped in (thank you!!) and was very welcoming and friendly. 100% recommend! Also a heads up - not sure if it's true but I read (somewhere) that it is a cash only place.
