We have very much enjoyed our dinner at ‘Am Kai’. With a beautiful summer evening and outside heating provided later in the evening, this modern, trendy and chic restaurant provided a great atmosphere. The terrace is viewing the river Elbe and the harbor of Hamburg. Food was absolutely delicious! Style and taste are modern, surprising and every moment pleasing. We ordered (family style) swordfish ceviche and beef tartar followed by ravioli topped with truffle. As a main we shared the seafood platter with some sides. We loved their wine and champagne recommendation. Service was outstandingly friendly, a nice touch of a personal note included with all recommendations hitting our taste. All in all, this trendy chic location, quality of seafood and fish combined with the lovely service, it is now one of our top favorite restaurants in Hamburg!

It was an absolute highlight. Location is beautiful. Service outstanding and the food a fine experience of different flavors. My favorites “pulp carpaccio” and the dessert “blueberry cheesecake” it is way more than you expect.

Great foods and great suggestion of wines and liquors. Espresso martini and gin are really good. Foods are also good. We had tartar beef and yellowfin as starters and fried whole fish and deep fried prawns. The only thing I cannot give 5 stars is waiting time for food.

Great location on elbe River, pretty fancy location replicating the container area and with a nice view on the maritime station. The food is nice with great presentation in spite the taste might be a little bit upgraded to be really super top, I assume of they would make it they might get something lore than a mention in the michelin guide. The service is good, precise and kind in spite might be consistent overall the whole evening. If you want to impress someone than this might be your place.
