This was the only place to ever go to if you wanted a really good steak…read more As an American after so many months and years here, you broke down and really wanted to get a good steak. This is where you had to go to get a decent stick in the cologne area. They know how to make steaks here, they're thick, fresh and juicy. I really know how to prepare the meat here, better than anywhere else. Every so often I would crave a steak after eating so much chicken and pork, prepared the German way. It's a little bit on the pricey side, but it's well worth it. If you're going to get any kind of steak in Germany, make sure it's at an Argentinian restaurant. Go to where you know they know properly prepare the meat and get the right cuts as well. A lot of German steak dishes, usually consist of behind her back side of the animal. Not always the best cut of the animal.

Food was okay once we switched our own steaks which were both cooked incorrectly, but service was…read moreterrible. Waiter and bartender care more about being on their phone than doing their actual job. Our experience was like a combination of previous reviews. Waited 25 minutes for a drink, measurements did not match what was stated on the menu and they charged double instead of correcting the problem. Not a friendly or welcoming atmosphere, would not recommend.

Everyone of us of course had steaks, with some potatoes and a bit of vegetables. The red wine was flowing, some of the best Argentinian wine of course. The inside is reminiscent of an old-school steakhouse. It's dimly lit and lots of wood and dark furnishings. There's shelves and walls of bottles and more bottles. Besides a great company and the good food, there was also bands serenading us through our dinner. Can't beat the abundance of entertainment at every corner of this dining room. The place felt so alive and vibrant. This is touted as one of the best steak houses in Cologne. There's a lot more competition today, but this one is still running strong.

I had the herring sample plate, don't remember the exact name, but it was something like Köln Sushi. In any case, it was herring served in a bout 6 different ways and I loved every one of them. This dish is for true lovers of those delightful little fish. They were smoked, marinated, raw, with beets in a salad, grilled, and so on. Everything was so fresh and tasty. I finished it all, something I seldom do. This was the best meal I had in Cologne, and I'd go back for more. That's saying a lot too, as I almost always prefer trying somewhere new. The riverside setting is great for people watching, and for us it was a great place to duck out of the rain for a Kölsch before we decided to stay and dine.

A rude person seriously ruins your day. Before my dinner here I enjoyed my exploration and loved…read morethe city vibe. The service was good, the waitress and an owner-looking guy were both responsive and polite. However after I paid my bill, an older owner-looking guy stopped me from heading out and asked me to take my bottle with me. I bought a bottle of still water earlier, and finished it during dinner so I left the empty bottlethere. I was embarrassed at first thinking I had to take care of the plates and trash, until the old guy speaking to me with a condescending tone: German people come to a restaurant, order food and drink, they don't drink from their own. You take it with you unless it isn't yours. I simply don't understand the logic that if I have my water already, why do I have to order the unnecessaries from you? Plus, if you can't handle the culture diversity probably you shouldn't do catering on the most international corner in Köln. I welcome any German friend to enlighten me on this. Food wise it was average, I ordered tapas which had no seafood, so probably that was not their specialty.

It was a Saturday and we did not have reservations, but were still able to get a table, which was great. The service ended up being very good. After expressing interest in a bottle of wine, we received a thorough presentation of different wines, and even got to taste a few. I ended up eating a filet, which I ordered medium-rare (Englisch). The meat was absolutely perfect! I was so impressed from the quality. My friend ordered the ostrich steak, which he said was also very delicious. My only critique would be that the atmosphere is only so-so. It looks like a very bland restaurant, not only from the outside, but also on the inside. But the food is to die for!
