This place seems great for larger gatherings and the energyvibe was perfect for it. Mostly...simple dishes offered here and its more about the beverages offered than anything else but even with its simplicity, the food was done just right. Nothing super fancy, but well enough for a fine fun evening

Suggest always to make a reservations as it mostly booked out. I come here with family, friend and...also have business partner join me here for lunch or dinner. The recommendation is the currywurst, the cesar salad and the original flammkuchen. The drinks are great and for happy hours it is worth to order a cocktail ! Deficit is that it is often very loud when the restaurant it full and it is almost impossible to get a parking spot even in surrounding streets

Nex waiter who binds without the starter to eat will be loud when reliant on hitting the starter. from the order. they wait for the bill again. flame cake was good, even the ribs; therefore still staring

So I was worried, but it was surprisingly quiet that evening and we got a very nice room to ourselves with room for many more than our single tag along guest. We were fortunate. But such popularity comes at a cost. I don't remember the prices being so high and the portion sizes so small for dishes which are relatively simple to prepare. €3.50 for a side of Bratkartoffeln. It couldn't have been more than 1 potato. (See photo) The service was excellent, as I expected it would be. Very observant waiters with a sense of humor. Although if you have a problem with your food (my friend didn't like the Pulled Pork Burger not enough BBQ flavor, which I agree with) they will look at you surprised and defend it and discuss it and deny it until finally they offer something to compensate. But that's typical of every Hamburg restaurant I've been to in the last 6 years. Even the foreign restaurants adopt this local attitude that nothing can ever be wrong with their food. But I have to reduce my review to 4 stars because, while the food is generally good and the service great (by German standards), they appear to be positioning themselves as something exclusive and gourmet by serving more porcelain than food and then charging an arm and a leg for it which would only be justifiable if the dishes were delicacies.
