Great spot for a group dinner. Service was quick and the place felt cozy. I liked the burger without the bun&mdash;finally the patty gets the attention it deserves. Gets busy though, so book ahead.

The beer flight was a solid move&mdash;got to try several of their in-house brews and found a couple new favorites. Outdoor garden&#39;s nice for an afternoon pint, though service slows down a bit when it&#39;s packed.

Came here for a quick lunch, ordered the pho. Broth was clean and fresh, not too greasy. Portion size is generous for the price, honestly didn&#39;t expect that. Staff was friendly enough, got my food fast. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something simple.

Solid soft serve. Real East German style, creamy and light. Big topping selection, went with Kinder chocolate. Nostalgic spot, lived up to the hype.

Service was the best part&mdash;staff friendly and spoke English well. Food decent, but my steak came out more well-done than I asked for. Fine for the price though.

Had lunch here and honestly the seafood platter was the highlight. Lobster tail was fresh, and the Asian-style salmon had a nice kick to it. Price felt fair for what you get, especially with the water right there. Service was friendly too. Maybe a bit busy around noon, but that&#39;s fine.

Cozy spot, though the interior could use a refresh. Portions are massive&mdash;definitely come hungry. Book ahead, even on a Tuesday night.

Stopped by for lunch near the old river&mdash;nice cozy vibe. They let us bring our dogs in without any hassle, which was a big plus. Had the fish stew and camembert appetizer. Both were solid, though the stew could&rsquo;ve used a bit more seasoning. Friendly staff, decent prices. Fine for a casual stop if you&rsquo;re in the area.

Been coming here for a while now. The daily cake selection keeps me hooked, always fresh. Coffee&#39;s a bit weak but the breakfast makes up for it. Nice spot near the Old City.

The lighting in there is warm, almost dim, which made the whole breakfast feel slower and more relaxed. Food was solid, prices fair. Staff left us alone mostly, which I liked. Just a nice little pause in the day. Maybe not a destination, but I&rsquo;d sit by the window again.

The fish tasted like it was caught that morning. Sat by the window watching the river while eating &mdash; that alone made it worth booking ahead.

Been coming here for a while now. Staff still friendly, prices fair. Had dinner and breakfast again this time&mdash;both solid, nothing fancy. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something reliable.

Solid spot for a proper meal. Halibut with glazed carrots was well executed, fried potatoes were a nice touch. Service efficient, no hovering. Decent value for the quality.

Found this spot on Google Maps and honestly such a good pick. The schnitzel was crispy and the tomato soup hit the spot. Service was quick too, which I always appreciate. Place had a nice buzz, perfect for hanging out with friends after uni. Maybe a bit warm inside but whatever, I&#39;d come back. 😊

Decent breakfast buffet, not gonna lie. Good spread with fresh bread, cold cuts, eggs, pancakes. Fair price for what you get. Service was friendly enough. Place is easy to get to, which helps. Busy when I went, but that&#39;s a good sign I guess. Solid spot for a morning bite.

The vibe here is really chill, and I liked that the music wasn&rsquo;t blasting&mdash;could actually have a conversation without shouting. Felt like a safe space, which isn&rsquo;t always easy to find. Drinks were solid, nothing crazy, but the atmosphere alone makes me want to come back. Just wish they had a few more seating options near the bar.

Nice spot right on the water. Had the grilled fish with a glass of Riesling&mdash;solid pairing. Service was friendly enough, though it got a bit busy later. Good for a relaxed evening out.

The salmon nigiri was fresh and the price felt fair for what you got. Decent spot if you&#39;re craving sushi in the area.

The nautical decor really stands out&mdash;old coins and sailor stuff everywhere. Felt like stepping into an old harbor tavern. Cool spot if you&#39;re into that vibe.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Got the pasta, it was decent and filling. Place has that cozy Italian vibe, posters on the wall. Service was fast enough for my break. Portion was solid for the price. Not bad if you&#39;re in the area and need something quick.

The schnitzel was solid and didn&rsquo;t break the bank. Place has a nice relaxed vibe, easy to just sit and chat. Only thing, service gets a bit stretched when it&rsquo;s full. We waited a while for the bill, but no rush. I&rsquo;d go back for the atmosphere alone.

The broiler chicken here is consistently juicy and well-seasoned, with a crispy skin that&#39;s hard to beat. The fries and coleslaw are solid sides, and the service is quick even when it&#39;s busy.

The basement setting is a bit odd&mdash;no cell reception at all&mdash;but the food made up for it. I had the grilled octopus and it was cooked perfectly, tender with a nice char. Really liked the vibe down there too, felt cozy and hidden. Just don&rsquo;t plan on scrolling your phone while you wait.

Loved the fresh ingredients here&mdash;the salad tasted like it was picked that morning. Had the grilled fish, simple and light, just how I like it. Portion was decent for the price. Place was a bit busy around noon, but the food made up for it. Would come back.

Sushi was top notch, easily the best I&#39;ve had in Germany. The koi pond inside is a nice touch, makes the place feel calm. Bit pricey but worth it for the quality.

Stopped by for the strawberry shortcake. Solid. The homemade strawberry drink had a nice boozy kick too. Right by the cruise dock, so it&#39;s a quick walk. Place was busy but we got our stuff fast. Maybe a bit touristy, but the dessert was worth it.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Schnitzel with potato wedges hit the spot. Prices are fair for what you get. Place was chill, music was fine. Service was fast enough for a lunch break. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area and don&#39;t want to overthink it.

Tucked away on a quiet street. Spare ribs were solid, salmon fillet cooked well too. Staff even made our dog feel welcome. 👍

Stumbled in here on a rainy afternoon. Cake was homemade, really moist, not too sweet. Jazz playing low in the background fits the old-school interior. Staff got my order right and quick. Place is small but cozy. Bit hard to find a seat around 4pm though.

Stopped by for lunch on a whim &mdash; the fish soup was the highlight. Rich, hearty, and didn&rsquo;t break the bank. Sat outside on the Alter Strom, just watching boats and people pass by. Exactly the kind of casual meal I needed. Service was a bit slow, but honestly didn&rsquo;t mind it much.
