am kai | restaurant. seafood. drinks. elbblick in Hamburg

Amazing food, drinks and views, great service.......

We had an after party there - it was very nice there, but too narrow/small for the number of people there

The most fantastic restaurant in Hamburg. Best service. Best food. Best value for money

Sorgfältigst zubereitetes schmackhaften Essen, serviert von sehr kompetentem und freundlichem Personal, ohne Schnockschnack oder gestelztem Verhalten in einer fancy Umgebung, drinnen wie draußen. Das alles hat seinen berechtigten Preis.

Danke für einen tollen Abend. Essen war toll, der Service auch und wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

Celebrated our wedding there. Beautiful place, amazing service, outstanding food and attention to detail. Thank you team am Kai.

Phantastisches Essen, geschmacklich und optisch. Vielfältig, überraschend, hochwertig. Personal ist kompetent und sympathisch. Insgesamt sehr teuer (260,- für 2 Personen). Cocktails waren nur okay. Blick auf die Elbe ist super.

Eine Touristen-Abzocke. Die Qualität vom Essen entspricht nicht im Weitesten dem Preis. Man zahlt für den Blick.

Great food with stunning views over Elbe. Can recommend this place.

Great location, attentive service. Went there yesterday for a kitchen party. I can only recommend it.

Great restaurant, cool ambience, sensational food… The service team was extremely warm, especially Jin, who was friendly, funny and competent throughout the evening. We'd love to come back!

Wunderschöne Abend mit Kuden auf der Terrasse gehabt. Essen: Fisch ist ganz klare Stärke, das war wirklich sensationell! Der Rest war gut und schmackhaft.

Basically my favorite restaurant in Hamburg. Great combination of inspired great food, good service, a relaxed but stylish atmosphere and a beautiful ambience with a great view.

Nice location on the Elbe. Terrace seating in the best weather was great. We took the sharing menu and really enjoyed it. Everything is very well crafted. Open wines were ok. Dedicated service team

A perfect evening. Wonderful ambience, great food and great service.

Good food, great location right on the Elbe

Prenotato su the fork arriviamo con una mezz'oretta di anticipo ma immediatamente ci portano al tavolo sulla terrazza con vista del porto di Amburgo. Ottima la preparazione alla cena con crostini e delicatessen dello chef. Piatti ben preparati e ben serviti. Spettacolare la bouillabaisse..i nostri 2 bambini trattati da principi con piccoli giochi da tavolo o gelato finale anche se non richiesto..ma molto gradito. Conto ai limiti superiori ma adeguato al servizio e al menu

Very nice restaurant with a great ambience, friendly service and wonderful food! We'll definitely be back!

We had a very relaxed evening with a great menu and Jin's service was sensational! Thank you and see you next time.

Leider völlig überteuert und ohne Inspiration vorbereitet, frittieren ist halt keine Kochkunst. Musik draußen zu laut. Etwas chaotischer Service, weil 2 MA Bestellungen abfragten. Fazit: Woanders ist besser.

Wir haben das Abend-Menü bestellt, eine leckere Weinbegleitung und waren damit sehr zufrieden. Der Service von "Jin" rundete den Abend komplett ab. Perfekt, vielen Dank

We celebrated our daughter's birthday here. Everything was just perfect. Fine food, friendly service,...thank you!

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!

Chic restaurant. Kitchen OK. The North Sole and Surf'n Turf weren't a challenge either. The fact that the waiter destroyed a third of the sole when it was served hurt me as much for the fish as the fact that the unspectacular ribeye was carved more than 5 minutes before serving. The way it is served, it can also be carved at the table. Not being able to get fish cutlery for a fish like northern sole borders on ignorance. Today, paying 8 euros for a carafe of tap water is called profit maximization. The SchickiMicki audience there doesn't notice. It was a lovely evening with the usual, and unexpected for the place, downlights of today's gastronomy.

We had a lovely evening with excellent food. Highly recommended!

Very good ambience and delicious food

Feine Küche in coolem Ambiente in einem Gewerbekomplex im alten Fischereihafen mit Sicht auf den Hafen und markante Architektur. Wir hatten das Sharing Menü in 4 Gängen mit jeweils mehreren Speisen. Es war insgesamt sehr gut, wenn auch von der Menge her eher ein bisschen zu viel. Dies auch, weil wir zu Beginn von der sehr guten Brotauswahl alle gekostet hatten…

Not only the increadible ambience and food but also the service accompanied by friendliness and generousity made this a wonderful night. thank you! always again.

Top fine dining with relaxed service and beautiful plates with lots of taste. Wine list could be improved, but that's just my taste. You're sure to find what you're looking for.

Es war wieder einmal super. Aromen und Gewürze gut eingesetzt. Was uns zum ersten Male nicht so gefallen hat, waren die verhältnismäßig kleinen Portionen. So hätte ich bei meinen Pulpo Arm für einige zig Euro eine wesentlich größere Portion erwartet. Auch andere Gäste bemängelten die kleinen Portionen. Das kannten wir bislang nicht so in diesem Restaurant. Wir werden mal überlegen, ob wir überhaupt dort wieder speisen. Im Moment gibt es aus diesem Grunde nur eine beschränkte Weiterempfehlung.

Really great cuisine and the best location with a view of the harbor and the large pots. Mediterranean flair and best service. One of my favorite places in Hamburg

Schöne Lage mit angenehmer Terrasse mit Ausblick. Essen seafood hervorragend, tolle kleine Auswahl, jederzeit weiterzuempfehlen!

Das Essen war traumhaft! Alles hat sehr gut geschmeckt und wurde top präsentiert; ein Erlebnis! Die Bedienung sehr nett und aufmerksam. Die Adresse ist auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen Danke für den tollen Abend:-)

We didn’t know what to expect but after reading the reviews we wanted to try this restaurant. The food was sensational- we opted for the sharing menu and it was wonderful. Thankfully we didn’t have lunch beforehand so we could saviour every morsel. The service was also outstanding. Would highly recommend a dining experience here if you’re in Hamburg. We will definitely return

Food that definitely doesn't do justice to the price. We were in Hamburg for a long weekend and can say that you can eat much better here for significantly less money! It was my son's birthday and he wanted to experience something nice and have a delicious meal. That was the opposite. My son and the gesture were very disappointed. Unfortunately, we can't recommend the restaurant at all and feel like we've been ripped off :(

Overall the restaurant is good, but the dishes have too much sauce, and they are also very cloying, it is difficult to understand how fresh the fish is. I didn't like the cappuccino. The dessert is not bad.

Everything just fits together very well here. Quality of the food, the service and the ambience. You rarely find that in Hamburg anymore.

Very nice restaurant with a great view of the Elbe. The meal was excellent. Great service. It was a great evening

The menu was amazing. The service was extremely attentive. Good cocktails and a nice bar manager. We can recommend it without reservation.

Wir haben uns das Sharing Menü gegönnt und haben jedem Gang genossen. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet, und die sehr nette und aufmerksame Bedienung hat ihrerseits dazu beigetragen, den Abend zu einem Rundum-Vergnügen für uns werden zu lassen.

Es war ein wunderschöner Abend, Service, Atmosphäre und Essen waren hervorragend. Wir kommen gerne wieder und empfehlen Au Kai mit Freude weiter. A bientôt

Richtig super, einfach nur zu empfehlen. Freuen uns auf das nächste mal. 😊

Beautiful view, courteous service, great food!

The food was excellent. There was blips in the service. The water we ordered was forgotten. He forgot to ask about wine/beer. The starters came in long before we were done with the apertifs. Most of all, my wife got the wrong starter - and it contained apple so she got a fairly bad allergic reaction. I believe I heard the waiter saying the dessert was in the house due to that incident, but it was on the bill. At that time we just paid and left. Would like to highlight the young waitress, she was excellent. She was showing real care!!!

Great service, vegetarian option available, delicious food and a great view.

It was our first time at Am Kai Restaurant. Our service for this evening was great and we received excellent advice about the food and drinks. It was just perfect, highly recommended. The 2 hour drive there was really worth it and it was an unforgettable evening. Thank you again.

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Abend mit ausgezeichnetem Essen und sehr, sehr angenehmen und ausgesprochen freundlichem Service. Hat alles fein zusammengepasst. Wir freuen uns jetzt schon auf ein nächstes Mal!

The staff was super attentive and friendly. The food - seafood was good, the scallops were really good. Homemade sauces went well with the fish.

Delicious and every bite is a new, exciting taste explosion. High prices reflect the quality of the ingredients and the preparation. Perfect, attentive service, fantastic view of the Elbe, highly recommended 👍

Wir waren sehr begeistert und werden ganz sicher wiederkommen. Der Service, die Qualität und Location… alles top

The restaurant is larger than expected, the terrace with a view of the container port and the still impressive dockland is outstanding, the food with a focus on seafood is impeccable, but not star-rated. The price-performance ratio is okay, €75 per person for the sundowner for 2 with a bottle of white wine, water and a seafood platter was reasonable. Rather upscale cuisine, unpretentious, solid and good without any great need for innovation or excessive creativity. Bien comestible, gladly again.

Only recommended! Incredibly good cuisine full of flavor explosions. The service, the ambience and the view are just great. No matter whether it is a company event or a dinner with friends, Am Kai can only be recommended.

Spektakuläre Lage an der Elbe, spektakulärer Seefood auf dem Teller.

we had the most amazing evening at am kai's. the food was indescribable and absolutely perfect from end to end. the dishes were visual perfection. in addition, we can only send the warmest praises to your service team who helped make our evening memorable. we send our absolute warmest recommendations to visit this place. we will come again.

I think it is easily one of the best restaurants I have been to in Hamburg. Excellent service, excellent food, excellent cocktails and a pleasant atmosphere. Big mention to Jin and Cristiano for the wonderful experience. 100% recommended

Nachdem wir (2 Personen) am 25.05.2024 da waren, uns es so sehr gefallen hat, waren wir (4 Personen) gestern 31.05.2024 erneut dort, excellent in jeder Hinsicht!

Jederzeit gerne wieder - und lieben Dank an Enzo und sein charmantes Team!

Super Abend ! Wirklich überraschend tolle Küche mit besonderen Geschmackserlebnissen ! Sehr aufmerksame fröhliche den Job liebende Bedienung mit guten Fachkenntnissen!

Tolle Kombination aus sehr guter Küche und exzellentem Service. Unsere "Bedienung" war äußerst kompetent - von Fisch bis Digestif.

Beste Aussicht, absolut super Service. Sehr feines leckeres Essen, wunderbar serviert und vorgestellt. Allgemein - Spitze.

Seafood Sundowner perfekt!

a must for fish lovers in Hamburg! Extremely friendly service, excellent food, fantastic atmosphere, overall 10/10

A really great evening with incredibly good food and extremely nice waiters. We will definitely come back.

Wie immer waren wir mehr als sehr zufrieden. Sehr gutes Essen und der beste Service in der Stadt!

Perfektes Dinner mit genialer Aussicht auf der Terrasse.

Very good restaurant with excellent cuisine at the port of Hamburg. The service is perfect, the food is delicious and the wine selection is great. We'd love to come back!

We drove from Bremen to Hamburg especially for the great location. A special kind of taste experience. Incredibly creative and sensational cuisine. I can only recommend the Küchenmeisterei to anyone who is in the area. We had a perfect evening. There was absolutely nothing to improve. We will be back!

I had an amazing experience at this place. The location is great for a beautiful view of the river. I can with colleagues after OMR on Tuesday early this week. Group of 8ppl approx. Only challenge is that i don’t eat any seafood. However, that shouldn’t put anyone away. I had probably one of the best steaks I’ve had in Hamburg - their Entrecôte in the menu. Tasty, just and great quality meat. Also the cauliflower to complement the meal. And a glass of Spanish wine. The service was superb, and they tried to accommodate and help with my restrictions. Highly recommend this place based on my experience experience. My colleagues talked very positively about the seafood, but that one i can’t say anything.

Thumbs up, great cinema! There's nothing wrong with it! Great location, fantastic food, top friendly professional service! We were thrilled and will definitely come back! Thank you for a wonderful evening! The price is reasonable for the overall package

WOW! That’s the only way I can describe this place. I’m living since long in Hamburg and this became my new favorite restaurant! The menu was delicious and all the little additional bites we got from the kitchen made it even better! Service, view, food all unbeatable! Definetly recommend

Great location with a wonderful view of the harbor. Unfortunately the music was a bit too loud, but otherwise everything was fine, i.e. highly recommended

Unglaublich toller Service gepaart mit fantastischen Essen und lokation!!! Vielen Dank für den tollen Abend!

Schon am Eingang stellte ich die Frage: ist das hier eine Disco oder ein Restaurant? - Das ist eigentlich das Wichtigste, was ich hier mitgeben möchte: es ist laut, quirlig, Unterhaltung so gut wie nicht möglich, die Musik passt vom Stil und der Lautstärke her überhaupt nicht zum Ambiente. - Ich habe eben auch noch einmal die Beschreibung des Restaurants durchgelesen, nicht, dass ich übersehen habe, dass hier gewollt Partystimmung herrscht … Nein, diesen Rückschluss konnte man nicht ziehen. Ich hätte sonst niemals dort reserviert. Unserer mehrfache geäußerten Bitte, die Musik von Lautstärke und oder Stil her zu ändern, wurde nicht nachgekommen, man bot uns lediglich an, den Platz zu wechseln. Mehrere Kellner haben übereinstimmend berichtet, dass das Teil des Konzeptes sei und gewollt. - Wie gesagt, dann sollte man das auch auf die Webseite schreiben. Den wenigen vom Restaurant für die Webseite selbst ausgewählten Bewertungen konnte ich das jedenfalls nicht entnehmen. Der wechselnde und hektische Service brachte zusätzlich Unruhe in unseren Besuch. (Immerhin gibt es ausreichend Personal, das ist heute ja auch nicht mehr selbstverständlich.) Das Essen war hervorragend, allerdings in sehr ungleich großen Portionen serviert. Wer eine Vorspeise als Hauptgericht essen möchte, sollte sich also ersteinmal die Nachbarteller anschauen.

We had dinner there last night and it was fantastic. We all had the menu with accompanied wines. Jin gave us all the information about the food and wine. You can tell in this restaurant that all the employees have fun and enjoy working there. The kitchen translates the passion for cooking. If you want to spend a great evening in Hamburg then go there. We will definitely come back. Thanks again to everyone for this great evening.

Very nice and courteous staff. Food was excellent - we would be happy to come back and highly recommend it.

Sehr gutes, modernes Essen. Tolle Location am Fischereihafen Altona. Sehr schöner Außenbereich mit effektiven Wärmestrahlern.

Ein tolles Erlebnis hier zu essen. Es war alles perfekt- vom Service über das Essen und den Wein bis zum Ambiente. Sehr zu empfehlen!!

The preparation of the food did not meet our expectations. In our opinion, the dishes are prepared with too much fat and are overpriced. That doesn't balance out the ambience either. When we left, the receptionist turned out to be not very customer-oriented, following the motto: Here is our cloakroom, pick out your jacket. It's a shame, a lot of money for a mediocre meal at best.

Very relaxed service, excellent food, good atmosphere - not overly homey, but with high-quality materials and a great view.

Großartiges Ambiente mit Blick auf den Hafen, exzellent und kreative Gerichte, frischer Fisch, perfekt abgestimmte Saucen und ansprechend präsentiert fürs Auge. Ein ganz besonderer Hamburger Abend!

If you first want to be yelled at by the maître when you arrive because you only want to drink drinks, aka cocktails, at 6 p.m. (insanely expensive, €15, and bad) and then just want to be looked at angrily and ignored by the service, then you're in the right place here. The restaurant wasn't even fully booked on a Saturday... If your restaurant doesn't want to serve drinks but only menus, you shouldn't write it in your tagline: restaurant.seafood.DRINKS!.elbblick. There is also no view of the Elbe, it is completely obscured by the terminal in front, you can only see the ships on the Elbe. We didn't eat, fortunately we had a later reservation in the fishing port restaurant, which is recommended without reservation You should avoid the quay and the unfriendly, fluffy maître as much as possible.

Food is great service is the best it is little pricey though

Ein absolutes Muss, wenn man in Hamburg ist. Service, Freundlichkeit und vor allem die Qualität des Essens, alles große Klasse. Belohnt wir man durch ein tolles Ambiente und einen Blick auf den Hafen. Vorspeise - Hummerravioli, ein Traum. Der Steinbutt übertrifft alles. Exzellente Weinkarte. Geht hin und genießt den Abend!

We made a perfect choice with the 7-course menu! Well staged and surprising interpretation of the classic! Each course was a small work of art and prepared with precision down to the last detail. A top choice for a 1st date or an anniversary. We were thrilled! A good-humored team made our evening even better...the view of the water and the musical scene were also wonderfully colorful. We will be back! 🤗

Ich habe kein Problem, gutes Geld für ein schönes Abendessen auszugeben. 270€ für zwei Personen (2x Aperitif, 1x Vor-, 2x Hauptspeise, 1x Flasche Wasser, 1x Riesling (68€) 2x Espresso) ist aber echt mal ne Hausnummer. Die Mixed Seafood Platte war zwar sehr lecker, aber für 140€ hätte ich zwei Platten erwartet. Es war alles genau 2x zum Verkosten, was auf der Karte stand. Also nichts zum Sattessen. Das war schade.

Fantastic! Atmosphere, view, service and dishes! Pampering!

Unfortunately we were only here for drinks - very friendly service, great location and great drinks! 🫶

Moin Folks, hajoooooo, hier ist alles was sich im Wasser bewegt, sehr frisch auf dem Tisch🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩. Der Service sehr am Gast, von der Begrüßung, via Begleitung zum Tisch, Speisekarte, Getränkekarte, Bestellung, Service am Tisch, Filetieren, das Fischfleisch vom Gerüstbau trennen, einfach Trompetengalaktisch 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Die Qualität der Wassergefährten absolut Highlevel, es junkt in den Sneakers, wann geht’s wieder hin, demnächst, nur noch ca. 10 Tage und der Rest dieser Nacht und herrlich, wieder einkehren und das geile „Sorglosrundumpaket“ genießen. Freude beim Schreiben macht sich im Gesicht sehr bemerkbar.

Great location. Ambience with a feel-good factor. Unfortunately the dishes, although attractively presented, were almost cold except for the oysters. Given the upscale prices, I actually expect Michelin-level perfection that this restaurant boasts. Unfortunately, tuna steak and dryaged steak arrived at the table cold. The side dish of fried potatoes was burnt. The waiter apologized and brought a new portion later. The new waiters almost lie on the plate when serving, which isn't really pleasant. So a few months ago the service was much more elegant. A pity. We look around. Am Kai is no longer at the top of our high list. 3 stars because the oysters and scallops were excellent. The rest definitely has room for improvement.

Warm service, fantastic food, nice location! Thank you Gin that our vegetarian also received an 8-course tasting menu. We recommend

Had a really nice evening there! Great food, almost star level! The service was simply great! You just felt comfortable.

The food was amazing. The service-I don’t know where to start.. It went wrong from the beginning. Ordered sparkling water and got still water. I noticed it when I drank from my glass. The waiter was kind and brought us sparkling water. He concluded that we should use our glasses and then poured the sparkling water on top of my glass with still water…so had to drink that. We ordered food. They forgot that we also needed something otter than water to drink. When we 5 minutes after asked if we could order something to drink. They god annoyed and the waiter rolled his eyes. We ordered a glass of wine. I also wanted a soda-gave up. They forgot to bring us bread. They remembered when we got the rest of our food. For dessert we also ordered coffee. They forgot the coffee. We told them, when we were finished with the dessert and almost ready to go. They billed us the coffee..this is perhaps 2 minutes after we just talked about it. We weren’t the only ones who experienced the poor service. A man needed to wave several minutes with his wine glass to get the waiters attention. Oh yeah and the last thing..a customer brought her dog, it loaded it’s water on the floor. No one noticed-not entirely the restaurants fault-but still… So if You want good food, You should go there if You have a good amount of patience, and not to high expectations.

Exzellenter Service, auch auf Sonderwünsche wurde eingegangen, essen war sehr gut, insbesondere die Vorspeisen. Sehr schönes Ambiente mit tollem Blick auf die Elbe.

Hat alles: cool, freundlich, innovativ und gute Kuche

The food was delicious, the service was attentive and the ambience was exceptional.✔️ But unfortunately one point also has to be viewed critically - the price of the food!🤨 It is well known that the catering industry as a whole is suffering from the increased prices. It is also not new that Am Kai is not in the middle of the range of Hamburg restaurants. But a three-digit 💸 total amount for everyone, that ultimately wasn't worth the visit for us - unfortunately! ✌️ 😎

I am very critical, in this case I can only say: 1000% recommended!!!!!

Insgesamt ein wunderbarer Abend mit unseren betagten Eltern!

Besuch am 17.2.2024: Das Heilbutt-Kotelett (ca. 42,-€) hatte wenig Fleisch und sehr viele Gräten. Eine der Garnelen auf dem Risotto war wahrscheinlich nicht ganz frisch (Erbrechen in der Nacht). Für den Fang des Tages "Seezunge" (laut Karte 12,50€ pro 100g) wurden 72,00€ (!!!) berechnet, wobei ca. nur 200g filetierte Seezunge letzlich auf dem Teller waren. Laut Restaurantchef wird immer der gesamte Fisch als Referenz genommen. Für den Kunden ist aber entscheidend, was letztlich bei ihm auf dem Teller ist. Fairerweiser müsste in der Karte ein Preis von ca. 35,-€ pro 100g stehen. Alles andere ist für den Kunden nicht nachvollziehbar. Nach Diskussion mit dem Restaurantchef wurde der Preis auf der Rechnung auf 36,-€ reduziert. Insgesamt waren wir sehr enttäuscht und können trotz freundlicher Bedienung und nettem Ambiente es nicht weiterempfehlen.

Super Küche mit asiatischen Einflüssen, aufmerksame internationale Bedienung mit guten Sprüchen und Superlaune! Wir kommen wieder.

Ganz besonders toller Service an einem schönen Ort - es war ein gelungenes Dinner und ein gelungener Abend 🙏🏼

Das beste Restaurant der Stadt. Danke Sebastian, dass du dich um uns gekümmert hast. LG, Daria Ishchenko
