Matchball Uetersen in Uetersen

Brought food to go. Unfortunately very bad, the vegetables were raw and poorly seasoned.

Good pizza, but the pricing policy is unclear, which, in my opinion, leaves a bitter aftertaste! Our daughter wanted a "pizza with mushrooms." We were then charged the price of a prosciutto e funghi, which cost €15.50. The reason given was that if you leave something out, it still costs the same. A Margherita with mushrooms would have been cheaper, of course, but we should have ordered it that way anyway... aha. In my opinion, that's simply not acceptable. But if you want to scare customers away for €2.50, fine!

Great - we'll be happy to come back. Yesterday we were at "La Cave" for the first time. Due to its proximity to our favorite cinema, we'd often been drawn to this small, French "cellar restaurant" and finally made it there. To be clear: It won't be the last time - and yes: The long journey from Hamburg is definitely worth it! Hidden beneath the stairs of the main entrance is the entrance to the stylish, historic vaulted cellar, which gives the restaurant a wonderful ambiance that invites you to linger. Why only four stars? Well - the ambiance is "really cozy" - but the quality of the food and service clearly surpasses the ambiance and deserves a certain distance. The menu with Mediterranean/French dishes is short, especially for the main courses - supplemented by a seasonal menu (currently asparagus dishes). Connoisseurs rejoice and recognize the brevity of the menu not as a weakness, but rather as the hope of getting something truly exceptional here. Our expectations, thus heightened, were in no way disappointed: The food was superb! We opted for the rump steak in two completely different variations. The love in the selection of his meat was already evident when the chef praised his meat. And no: A "steak" is not simply a piece of meat that you throw on the grill or fry to death in a pan (those who like their steak "well done" will never know the difference and can certainly enjoy a mass-produced meat at Block House. It also tastes "somehow" - it won't satisfy the steak connoisseur). A perfect crust, the entire meat tender as butter, in full juices - magnificent. The side dishes complemented the dish perfectly and were also spot on (tip for anyone who wants to eat really GOOD asparagus!). When you listen to the very cultured and well-groomed chef talk about his food, you know why you'll find something truly fine and exquisite here: He loves what he does - and he enjoys it himself. And no: With a menu featuring 30 main courses to choose from, this will never be possible; in this league of quality, all ingredients must be carefully selected and fresh. We've all become somewhat accustomed to being able to have "everything, anywhere, anytime." Let us encourage you to let go of this notion and limit yourself to "select" indulgences for very special evenings. It's worth it! And: If you're looking for a change from Greek and pizzerias for the first time, you'll still feel very comfortable here: The ambiance and service aren't "pretentious"—but warm, down-to-earth, and inviting. We found the food quality to be on par with Jacobs in Nienstedten, Hamburg—in a relaxed and cozy atmosphere. The prices are more than fair, considering that you can easily pay double for such good dishes in comparably good restaurants in Hamburg. And if it's any consolation: The truly well-chosen, delicious wines are downright inexpensive for a restaurant of this caliber, as is a truly delightful mixed salad for under €5 (where else can you find something like that? And even a fairly large portion for a side dish/starter!). This makes for a romantic and culinary special evening for two, including starters and dessert, for under €100. We look forward to our next visit!

Always nice and you can see many people you know.

..wenn der DJ beim Tanz in den Mai nicht so einseitige Musik gespielt hätte. Ich mag Rock,aber man kann durchaus mal was aus dem Pop-Genere spielen und nicht jedes Stück muss mind. 30 Jahre alt sein. Schön wäre es auch ,wenn er mal die Akkustik vorab geprüft hätte. In dem schmalen langen Raum wird das je weiter man nach hinten geht zum Bass-Jam und hört sich furchtbar an. Ansonsten: Ambiente des Raumes finde ich gut und die Idee dort eine solche Veranstaltung zu machen super. Getränkeangebot und Preise sehr gut. War schade mit der Musik.
