noch besser wäre, wenn man die Gerichte normal vom Teller bekommen und essen könnte. Wir sind doch keine Hunde, die alles aus dem "Napf" fressen müssen.

We visited Rive & Fish in Hamburg on a Sunday for a quick lunch, drawn by its appealing location and waterfront views. While the atmosphere was pleasant and we were warmly welcomed with a nice table by the window, the overall experience was disappointing. One of the first things we noticed was that the floor wasn’t very clean, which detracted from the otherwise inviting ambiance. The service started off fine but quickly showed signs of carelessness. The menu handed to us had breadcrumbs inside, which didn’t leave a great first impression. For starters, we ordered the bouillabaisse with sauce rouille. Unfortunately, the soup was watery and lacked the aromatic depth we expected, and the rouille sauce was essentially a red-tinted mayonnaise with no hint of saffron or garlic. When we shared our feedback, the server simply shrugged it off, saying it was a matter of taste and how they prepare it. We hoped the main courses would redeem the meal, but they only made matters worse. After waiting almost 45 minutes, we were served dishes that didn’t match the descriptions on the menu. The salmon was served with gnocchi instead of tortellini, and the codfish came with potato purée, bacon, sauerkraut, and grapes—completely different from the saffron brandade and other ingredients listed. To make matters worse, the service didn’t inform us of these changes beforehand. By that point, we were too hungry and annoyed to complain further and just wanted to eat and leave. Sadly, the food didn’t justify the long wait or the high price, as it was lacking in both flavor and creativity. Overall, the beautiful view was the only redeeming quality of this visit. The combination of inattentive service, poorly executed dishes, and unreasonably high prices made for a frustrating experience. We won’t be returning.

Seit Jahren eine meiner Lieblings Locations, Frische geschmackvolle ambitionierte Küche zu realistischen Preisen. Das freundliche langjährige Personal verbreitet ein wenig Italien Feeling an der Elbe.

We’ve dined at this restaurant several times, and the food is truly delicious! I really enjoy the atmosphere here, especially before the New Year—the Christmas tree fits perfectly into the interior. However, the service this time could have been better, as it seemed like we were served by a waiter who had just started working there 😑
