We enjoyed our appetizers, entrees, dessert and service! I mean, we enjoyed it so much that after being in Germany for a week, we decided to come back here on night 8 for our last dinner before getting on a plane the next morning (and I've heard numerous times I'm hard to please, by multiple people, so twice rather than continuing to explore new restaurants IS saying something)!
The restaurant was cute and cozy, clean and inviting! We made reservations on Open Table and and had no issues with being seated right away when we arrived. I was so happy to see this place recommended in a blog from someone who moved to Germany and landed in Hamburg that I actually reached out to see if she had any other recommendations that we'd possibly love as much, and after checking them and the types of food out, I knew I had to come back here rather than taking the other recommendations. She noted that when she has visitors fly in to visit, this is an experience and she takes them here! I totally understand and get it, and this is the type of place I'd want to be taken to if I were visiting someone that lives in another state or country!
The menu wasn't in English, so we did have to ask some questions to clarify after trying the app on our phones or having google translate the menu from their site to English, and we did well! The pulpo (octopus) appetizer was amazing, I mean so good my mom said she may just order two for dinner if we went back! The shrimp appetizer was also delish, and my fiancé ordered it again the second time we went back as well!
I ordered the same wine, appetizer, salmon entree, and Luftige Mascarpone Creme dessert on both visits! I mean, it was pure perfection and I didn't want to risk ordering anything I didn't love as much as my first visit here! The dessert had chocolate on top, a delectable berry sorbet or gelato (can't recall which), basil, biscotti, I mean it was heavenly and I'd be in trouble with my health goals if I could get my hands on this daily or weekly (as in I'm glad this restaurant is not down the street from my home, LOL).
I truly can't say enough good things about this place and the food. The lemon foam that came with the salmon was delicious and the perfect hint of lemon flavor for the dish. Our server, Alice, was helpful and attentive. Go, if you're close enough to get here, or traveling to Hamburg, do not miss this place! If you do, you should regret it!
Oh, the last night we went my fiancé switched from seafood which he ordered the first night, to their steak, and it was also amazing! Tender, seasoned well and cooked perfectly (medium rare). I mean, if we had another week I'd have gone back and ordered the steak! It was so flavorful and I'm so grateful I got to taste a bite of it! read more
