Good place to eat with a good price and nice food. Very crowded when I was there and it takes sometime to be served.

Delicious German food! This place was recommended by locals while we were in town for business. We arrived a little after 6 and were able to get a table for without a reservation. Out waitress offered us English menus and we had excellent service. My coworkers declared this the best food they had during our trip

In Hamburg for business but got to try quite few traditional local restaurants and had a lot of great meals. On our last night here, we found this place as it was close to our hotel and had good reviews.
We were super impressed with the food. We had the schnitzel. It was very delicately crisp and we'll seasoned. Also had a duck with orange gravy. The duck was just cooked right with a perfect crisp. The orange gravy was an awesome compliment just enough of a hint of orange but it made it so delicious you wanted more gravy to seek that hint.
Overall I have to agree with the other reviewer (which was responsible for me chosing this restaurant). This was my favorite place in Hamburg.
We did get English menus for the food but they didn't have one for drinks. No matter, with Google camera translate app, it gets you sufficient understanding!
The wait staff was nice and tried to accommodate us. If you expect north american type service you might find it's a bit cold but after a week here, we realize this is just normal so in light of that, I'd say the staff was great.
Our waitress tried to explain the dishes despite the language gap, so we were very appreciative.
I say this place is a must go. It was Saturday night and pretty full, but well worth the detour from the beaten path.

Great place. Great food. Great service. But please change your name. I really thought that playing chess in a „chess café“ would be a thing. ???????? Maybe I should read reviews first. But for me the name was quite clear.

Absolutely lovely experience. We came late went upstairs and just lounged and we're able to be comfortable and it was just the greatest. The woman who waited on us Conny, is phenominal.
