Next I ordered one of their house beers and it was much better. For dinner, my wife and I had one of their schnitzels and it was just ok. Our waitress was really rushing us and she spilled a half glass our beer on one of our coats. The only thing good about this evening was the atmosphere. We loved the cellar.

We ran from a rainstorm into the arms of the Brauberger. We were led into the cellar and given two…read morebig beers to warm up with. We ordered a traditional German dish with potatoes with cheese egg and bacon, and a turkey schnitzel with croquettes. Both are heavy meals and we might have been ok with one, but ended up eating most of both. We were on a biking tour and apparently needed the calories!! Haha. The service was excellent and beer good and simple, they only had one choice! But it can be mixed with a variety of juices or sodas for other options. The place was packed with plenty of Germans, so that has to be a good sign as well.

I expected more for the price. The service was very attentive, but almost to a fault. Every couple minutes we were interrupted. We sat upstairs, where there are four small tables crowded together in a tiny space. All the tables were occupied and we felt very observed, aware that everyone in the tiny room could hear our every word. It was uncomfortable. Our evening ended on a particularly sour note when we asked for the check and handed over our gift certificate. A few minutes later, we were smugly informed that the gift certificate -- which we received during COVID and did not include an expiration date -- had expired and the restaurant refused to accept it. Ugh. Needless to say, we will not be going back to Schlumachers.

I arrived in Hamburg and wanted to stay close to my hotel for dinner. I came across Opitz, a very…read morenice and what appears to be traditional German restaurant and gave it a try. The atmosphere is cozy traditional. It's down a few steps from the street level and you enter a somewhat dark, candle lit dining area. The tables and seating seem to be an eclectic collection that work well together. My server was prompt and I ordered a "Jever" pilsner beer to start. She brought over an English menu and made some suggestions. I took her suggestion for "Pork medallions with button mushrooms ala creme and fried potatoes". This was three thick slices of pork tenderloin. This and the potatoes were delicious and a very generous portion. Enough for two meals, but I ate it all anyway. :) I wanted a somewhat traditional German-style meal and I believe that I got it. :) Cheers.

The bowl portion came with an entire smoked sausage and was a large portion. The rump steak was as good as it can be. The beef remoulade was not rolled but thin sliced cold beef served with some onions and a mild horse radish sauce. My companion enjoyed the herring plate. Four types of herring. All served with fried potatoes family style.
