Nach knapp anderthalb Stunden waren die ersten mit Essen fertig und die letzten hatten noch nicht mal ihr Getränk. Dann wurde der Kellner pampig, weil er unfähig war, die Getränke tischweise zu servieren. Die Gäste waren Schuld, dass man das Gepiepse des Kellners beim Ausrufen nicht gehört hat. Teile der fehlenden Getränke waren nie in unserer Gruppe angekommen. Drei Essen wurden ganz vergessen, die anderen waren teilweise kalt oder nicht wie bestellt. Aus dem Burger ohne Zwiebeln gucken deutlich mehrere heraus. Steak Medium war totgebraten, Sauce zu den Pommes gab es nur manchmal. Auf Ansprache gab es nur Ausflüchte und die Schuld wurde auf die Kunden abgewälzt. Fazit. Über 50 Leute sagen Danke, dieses Lokal betreten wir nie wieder.

Park Cafe is a funny one in that I can't give it less than a good review, because it is a very good…read morelittle cafe-bar, but at the same time it's almost identical to the 4 or 5 bars surrounding it, and I never go to any of them. I guess the bars on Susannenstraße have found a good thing and are all sticking to it. Park Cafe is a cool, trendy little place. They have a limited food menu, do a good range of coffees and also cocktails. That's about it.

The Park Cafe was one of the first places in Hamburg which I hit at random to enjoy a social cup of…read morecoffee. When I arrived, it was packed, and it didn't take me long to figure out that one needs to find his or her "niche hour". Park sports a very unique menu - they are very strong with their cocktail offerings (the strongest I've seen outside of a bar or pub), along with traditional warm drinks and an interesting selection of cakes and soups. Their coconut soup seems to be a hit with the crowd, personally, I could find myself at park only for their blueberry muffins. Coffee at Park is a hit or miss. On some days, the coffee is too strong for my liking, on other days, it's distinctly weak. This I'm willing to forgive, however, since Park is and remains one of the best places to meet friends in the Schanze for some good conversation. I must admit, however, that due to the cafe's popular nature, the chances of me going there alone to drink coffee and read a book are extremely slim. The crowd at Park is very diverse and remains diverse throughout the day. Young folks and the older crowd meet at Park during the mornings, afternoons and evenings, and it's not uncommon to see parents sitting at the tables with their children. The "clubbing crowd" seems to mostly frequent Park on Friday nights, presumably to order from the cocktail menu.
