MEERBAR Restaurant in Düsseldorf

Had a reservation on saturday for me and my 3 male friends. Upon arrival they told us they can’t seat 4 males. We came all the way from Amsterdam and thus wasn’t advertised everywhere. Will not visit again

Beautiful, atmospheric restaurant, friendly staff, delicious food, good music.

I'm very disappointed with this restaurant. I wanted to go there with my friends and even had a reservation, but we weren't allowed in. The doorman claimed the restaurant was closed, even though there were clearly still guests inside. The only noticeable difference between us and the other guests was that we were wearing headscarves. Unfortunately, this left us with the impression of discrimination. Such behavior is absolutely unacceptable to us and has nothing to do with hospitality or respect. Very disappointing and definitely not recommended.

The visit was generally okay. The very loud music made it feel like we were in a disco. We had to wait almost two hours for our food. Although we were a large group of 15 people, two hours is still too long in my opinion. There is ample parking in the "Neuer Zollhof" parking garage directly below the restaurant.

I can recommend it for all events.

Highly recommended. Would gladly come again anytime.

The worst service ever! Daniel, the oldest waiter there I think, has no service at all and didn’t even speak English. Worst ever. Overhyped. The restaurant is pretty, but the food is awful! No taste at all. Really not worth the money!! For all Dutch people, only go there for drinks, otherwise, absolutely not!

I recently visited this restaurant with a friend who was visiting from anther city. When I called ahead, I was assured that no reservation was needed for drinks. However, upon arrival, we were turned away with the excuse that they were full, even though it was clear that the place was not at capacity. It felt like we were unwelcome for reasons unknown. Overall, a disappointing experience and a lack of hospitality .

I had a delicious steak at Meerbar, cooked to perfection. The ambiance is appealing and creates a pleasant atmosphere. Overall, a highly recommended restaurant for a great evening.

We went to the Meerbar restaurant on a Monday evening for my sister's husband's birthday. The table had been reserved in advance. The restaurant's ambiance is very nice and pleasant, and it was quite quiet as only a few tables were occupied. Unfortunately, our visit was disappointing overall, especially due to the service and the food. The waiter who served us (a tall man with dark hair, a dark beard, and a mustache, who spoke with an accent) was very unfriendly and seemed annoyed from the start. Although we were always polite and didn't have any unusual requests, his manner was cold and dismissive. When it came time to pay, I wanted to pay my share separately and went to the waiter specifically to avoid involving the birthday boy. He reacted visibly irritated and insisted that the other person paying had to come immediately. When we paid by card, he stared very conspicuously at the display, especially when selecting the tip option. After no tip was selected, he turned around without a word and left. For dessert, we had specifically requested a candle for the birthday person (several times). It wasn't brought initially. After asking again, we waited another 20 minutes until the dessert finally arrived – unfortunately, accompanied by continued unfriendly service. It was also noticeable that other guests were given a very friendly send-off, while we were turned away without a word, even though we left the restaurant right behind them. The food was also disappointing: The truffle pasta, costing almost €30, was bland and not worth the price. The salmon was very tough. Overall, the meal was rather average. Conclusion: A nice atmosphere, but very disappointing service and unconvincing cuisine. Unfortunately, not recommended for a special occasion like a birthday.

Despite having a valid reservation and being accompanied by a woman, we were refused entry without any explanation. The bouncer was extremely arrogant and provocative. What was particularly irritating was his behavior as if he were the owner, when at the end of the day he was simply an employee. This behavior came across as an unnecessary display of power on principle, not a professional decision. Frankly, for someone earning around €2,000 net per month, this inflated ego is completely out of place. Such conduct damages the reputation of the entire establishment. Anyone who ignores reservations and treats guests disrespectfully shouldn't be surprised by negative feedback. We definitely won't be returning.

You'll get shot here!!!! Not just by the very unruly bouncers. Now they're shooting there too.

Poor service, arrogant bouncers and overpriced restaurants.

The restaurant had a superb, inviting atmosphere despite its size. The service was excellent – ​​friendly, competent, and quick. There's room for improvement with the side dishes for the meat dishes, but the quality was outstanding.

I'm sorry, I never give bad reviews to shops, but during my last visit I noticed quite a few things, and even the press is reporting on what's going on there.

Security Risk – Shots Fired Outside the Restaurant ⭐ (1/5 stars) "Unfortunately, I cannot currently recommend Meerbar. Our Christmas dinner yesterday ended with shots being fired outside, and we were unable to leave the building for security reasons. A traumatic experience that has absolutely no place in the restaurant industry. We are appalled by the escalation of violence."

My absolute go-to restaurant when I'm in Düsseldorf ♥️ The ambiance is beautiful, very cozy and stylish, and the food is simply delicious every time. Everything is just perfect here, I highly recommend it!

Great service, great atmosphere, very good food.

The price-performance ratio is unfortunately completely off. The food is okay, but not amazing. The service is rather poor, and given the prices, it's simply not up to par.

I was absolutely thrilled with my visit! The service was outstanding – friendly, attentive, yet pleasantly unobtrusive. The food was superb, freshly prepared, perfectly balanced in flavor, and beautifully presented. I was particularly impressed by the seamless transition from the restaurant to the bar. After dinner, you could easily move on without changing the atmosphere. The ambiance became increasingly lively, and the selection of drinks was first-rate. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable evening. I will definitely be back!

Great food and atmosphere but service a little slow when I visited.

For the price I would’ve expected a better service!

We had dinner here on November 13th at 19:30. The food was good, the staff polite, and the atmosphere nice. However, the billing issue at the end ruined the whole experience. We were two people and ordered one Schoko Pott to share. But the bill showed two Schoko Potts plus two Crème Brûlées, which we never ordered. We only noticed the mistake after paying, including an 8% tip based on the wrong total. When we pointed it out, the waitress said she accidentally charged items from another table. But to us, the mistake did not feel accidental. They refunded only the extra desserts, not the extra tip, which was also caused by their error. This was very disappointing, and under these circumstances we shouldn’t have been expected to leave any tip at all. We hope the restaurant takes this seriously and remains honest with customers in the future!!!

Today I ate here with three friends. What a terrible door policy! We arrived at the door first, just the two of us. We were immediately subjected to a dress code check. We weren't allowed to proceed because they wanted to know what our two friends were wearing, and apparently there was a dress code. However, no one had informed us about the dress code beforehand. We were dressed perfectly normally and neatly. Inside the restaurant, we then experienced the worst service imaginable. Everything was rushed. The food was expensive and tasteless. The meat wasn't cooked properly, even though we had asked for it to be medium. The only acceptable dish was the entrecote. Furthermore, the manager was anything but accommodating. Everything we said about the door policy was met with, "I don't know anything about that, I've never heard of it." Yet all the reviews here are full of complaints about this ridiculous door policy. In short: If you're looking for a nice evening out, definitely don't go here. The only friendly person was the Chinese waiter. Today I ate here with three friends What a bad door policy! At the door, we arrived first with just the two of us. We were immediately subjected to a clothing check. We were not allowed to proceed because they wanted to know what kind of clothing our two other friends were wearing, and because there was supposedly a dress code. However, no one had informed us about any clothing requirements beforehand. We were simply dressed normally and neatly. In the restaurant, we then had the worst service. Everything was rushed. The food was expensive and tasteless. The meat was not cooked properly, even though we asked for medium. The only thing that was acceptable was the entrecôte. Furthermore, the manager was also anything but empathetic. Everything we said about the door policy was met with his response: "I don't know anything about that, never heard of it before." Yet, all the reviews here are full of dissatisfaction with this stupid door policy. In short: if you are looking for a nice evening, do not come here. The only friendly staff member was the Chinese waiter.

A well-rounded lunch menu, and the price-performance ratio is absolutely appropriate for the Media Harbour area.

Good to very good food. High-priced, but the quality of the food is excellent. The service, however, was very poor. We received hardly any attention, and when we asked for help, the waiter was rude and arrogant. Very disappointing for a restaurant in this price range.

Great atmosphere, delicious food, but slow and inattentive service — still worth coming back MEERBAR has a truly wonderful atmosphere. It’s vibrant, stylish, and full of energy. Sometimes it gets so crowded that you literally have to squeeze your way between people to move around — but in a way, that’s part of its lively charm. The food is absolutely delicious, and the kitchen is really impressive. The downside is the service: the staff can be inattentive, slow, and often overwhelmed, especially during busy hours. This lack of attention does take away from the overall experience. But honestly, the food and the overall vibe are so good that none of this stops me from returning. I will definitely come back.

We had dinner here with a friend from England. Having already looked at the menu online, we were delighted to find that all our wishes could be fulfilled: every dish we ordered was exceptionally well-prepared and tasted delicious. Since we would have loved to find a dessert with ice cream, we were disappointed that it wasn't available. But... you have to adapt and try new things to get what you want. Our reservation was for 6 p.m., and the restaurant wasn't very busy. Most of the other guests didn't arrive until after 7 p.m. that Sunday evening, so we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the Meerbar restaurant until then.

I recently dined at Meerbar and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The service, in particular, was far below the standard one would expect in a restaurant of this caliber. We had eaten in the restaurant beforehand and afterwards wanted to enjoy a fresh mint tea on the leather couch in the front area. To our surprise, however, we were informed that no hot drinks were served after 10:00 p.m. I found this unusual and rather unfriendly for an upscale restaurant. In addition, we had to wait an unusually long time before we could even order drinks. When I finally ordered a small bottle of still water, the waiter brought a large bottle of sparkling water to the table. When I pointed this out, he replied that they didn't have any small bottles left – something I highly doubted, given my regular visits there. Furthermore, I was advised to ask at the bar myself. Which I did – and, of course, small bottles were readily available. The impression that the waiter was deliberately trying to increase sales instead of attending to the guests' needs has unfortunately been reinforced. I find such behavior disrespectful and unprofessional. The incident occurred in the front area on the leather couch. I don't know the waiter's name, otherwise I would mention it here. Overall, this visit left a very negative impression. I hope that management takes this feedback seriously and implements measures to ensure that the service meets the standards one expects from Meerbar in the future.

We went there for the first time because we thought we'd treat ourselves to a slightly more upscale meal. But we wouldn't come back. Yes, the food and cocktails are great, but this place is clearly designed for mass consumption. Zero privacy. The next guest feels like they're sitting in your lap, and you can't even have a conversation without them overhearing. It's so cramped you can't even move around properly, and at first, they practically left us standing in the hallway while they looked for our reserved table (?). It's all a lot of show and no substance, and there are definitely much better places out there. And frankly, you could do without most of the other guests.

We went to Meerbar in Düsseldorf for a date and were completely satisfied. The restaurant makes an impressive impression from the moment you walk in – very stylish, modern, and luxuriously furnished, without being ostentatious. The food was outstanding: top-notch in both taste and quality, and beautifully presented. The selection of drinks and wines was also excellent and perfectly complemented the overall experience. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable evening in an upscale setting – highly recommended for special occasions or a lovely night out for two.

Great atmosphere, very attentive service and very good food.

Great atmosphere. The service was very friendly and attentive, but they seemed quite stressed, and that was somewhat noticeable to us guests. The food was good, but the quality didn't match the price. I simply expected more flavor explosions. The cocktails, however, are fantastic :)

I'd go back anytime. Great food, good music, and excellent service.

I haven't seen such a bad place in Düsseldorf in a long time. If you're Black, a foreigner, or wear a headscarf, you definitely won't get in. Even with a reservation, they'll just send you home. (The bouncer doesn't speak German himself.)

All perfect! For me its one of the best places in Dusseldorf

It was a fantastic evening - thank you very much!

Very nice restaurant, delicious food

We were there on a Monday evening, and the place wasn't particularly busy, yet the service felt nonexistent. He also forgot something several times... The food was average, but the portions were rather small, especially the side dishes. All in all, it wasn't worth the price.

Food was delicious and the restaurant aesthetic is noteworthy, but the service was trash… we had a reservation at 8pm and the main course came over 1.5 hours after we ordered. Waitress looked like we were bothering her, but it’s fine, we didn’t tip her so we’re even.

The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and warm. We'd love to come back!

Food, service, ambiance, and prices 10/10 The Meerbar in Düsseldorf is always worth a visit! The food there is some of the best in North Rhine-Westphalia. The waiters are absolutely amazing; your every wish is completely fulfilled.

We waited far too long for food (45 minutes). We go there very often, even when the place was full, we didn't wait that long. The waitress was disrespectful and served the food as if it were a beer garden. It's a shame because it was always our favorite restaurant.

I went to this restaurant, but the hairless bouncer refused me entry without giving a clear reason. Very rude and disrespectful behavior! This is not how you treat guests. I will certainly never return and cannot recommend this place to anyone.

We had previously called to request a reservation and were told that there were plenty of seats available starting at 10 p.m. and that no reservation was necessary. When we arrived, the doorman still refused to let us in, even though guests were constantly leaving and new ones were being admitted. When asked, he simply told us to "come back tomorrow." He didn't give a plausible reason. We were smartly dressed, but it still seemed clear that our appearance, especially our wearing of a headscarf, was the reason we were turned away. Even on a weekday around 7 p.m., we were also refused entry, even though there was hardly any activity. Unfortunately, we hear similar stories from many others; apparently, this discriminatory behavior is not an exception. It's disrespectful treatment that is absolutely unworthy of a restaurant like this.

The doorman was very unfriendly and racially discriminatory. He would block me from entering because I was dressed casually. Luckily, we had a 15-person dining reservation so we were able to get in. After all, it was a large order.

Extremely rude – never again at the Meer Bar in Düsseldorf! I went there last night with my family to celebrate my birthday and enjoy a bottle of champagne. We didn't have a reservation, but just wanted a spontaneous, pleasant evening. Unfortunately, we were turned away at the entrance – on the grounds that we were "too casually dressed." Interestingly, on our last visit, we dressed the same way, ate, drank, and spent a considerable amount of money there – apparently, that wasn't a problem then. This time, however, we were turned away without any understanding or friendliness. I have rarely experienced such arrogant and condescending behavior in Düsseldorf. For a restaurant that calls itself "upscale," it clearly lacks the most important qualities: respect and hospitality. We will definitely not be returning!

The doorman was too arrogant and insulting and didn't let us in because we were dressed casually...

The place used to be good. Unfortunately, it's not anymore. It started when we were asked at the door if we wanted something to eat or were just there for a drink. We said we'd like to eat, but were seated at a bar table anyway. The waitress came over and asked what we wanted to drink. We said we'd like the menu. Then she looked at us strangely and said, "Here? Food?" We told her we said we were there to eat, and she turned around and left. After 15 minutes, she came back with the menu. I discussed what we wanted with my friend before ordering, but the waitress must have missed us and called an order. She came back with cutlery. When I asked her if we could order now, she said to me, "You just did." She ultimately misunderstood it and when I told her, "No, I wanted something else," she said, "I can't cancel it anymore." Well, the food arrived, but unfortunately, my girlfriend and I didn't like it at all. I mean, I wasn't making a fuss about getting something I didn't order, but then you can at least expect it to taste good. I told her this, and she said she needed to speak to the chef. After about 15 minutes, she came back and told me the chef had said that the dish had been ordered many times today, but no one had complained, and she couldn't cancel the meal again. FYI: my truffle pasta was very watery and the pasta was way too cooked. She finally took my plate and said they'd make it again. After another 40 minutes, she came back and told me that my meal had been canceled. I then asked her why it had been canceled now and that I was totally wrong. I find it rude because they've already made me wait over two hours, I'm still hungry, and I've been waiting the whole time for my food. If they'd told me earlier, I would have gone somewhere else to eat long ago. We paid, and I called the shift manager. She came, was really nice, and told us she needed two minutes to sort it out. In the end, she didn't come back even after 20 minutes, and we were fed up. The bottom line: the only competent people in the store are the men at the door and reception. Unfortunately, nothing more.

Hoping that by 2070 the management will be able to work out a solution to expect inrush of all the people from the trade show and provide adequate service. If waiting for over an hour for a drink or standing like sardines then you're at the right place.

The Meerbar is a very nice restaurant with a stylish ambiance, good food, delicious drinks, and professional staff. My expectations of an upscale restaurant are completely met there. Highly recommended.

A horrific restaurant, even though it was reserved the waiters claimed it was full because the guests were black and higjap! The food was too expensive and the staff were disgusting. Please stay far away from this restaurant!!!!!

I had a reservation here this evening for a special occasion. Unfortunately, upon arrival I was denied entry by the security staff in a very unprofessional and disrespectful manner, due to my work attire. There was no prior notification or mention of any dress code when I made the reservation, and I also noticed other guests wearing similar clothing being allowed inside without issue. What made the experience even worse was that this happened while it was raining, and instead of showing any courtesy, the staff refused entry in a very dismissive way. A restaurant should ensure that any dress code, if enforced, is communicated transparently in advance, applied fairly to all guests, and handled with basic professionalism and respect.

It's a disgrace to treat guests like this! Just because they're wearing headscarves!

It's incredibly disappointing that these days in Düsseldorf, one is still confronted with such superficial rules as a dress code. People shouldn't be sorted by their clothes, but by their behavior, respect, and demeanor. Clothing says nothing about a guest's personality, character, or intentions. A well-groomed, normal, everyday look is perfectly sufficient if you simply want to have a leisurely drink. No one goes to a bar to be judged on a catwalk. With such regulations, you artificially create an "exclusivity" based on the devaluation of others. This is not only unfashionable, but also excludes people who consciously dress casually or perhaps don't even have the financial means to buy "high-class" outfits for a bar visit. Instead of devaluing guests who are dressed with absolute respect and order, it would make much more sense to emphasize a pleasant atmosphere, good service, and hospitality. This is precisely what distinguishes a bar you'll want to return to time and time again from one that only stands out for its superficiality. Dress codes today are nothing more than a relic of a bygone era when clothing was supposed to determine worth and status. A modern Düsseldorf should be better than that. Ridiculous. Then we were also recommended a bar across the street. They can afford this bar... Looks so perfect from the outside, but inside. I don't even know which GTA Casino movie you're floating through.

The atmosphere was a bit of a letdown, as the music in the restaurant area was too loud for us. The food (starters and main courses), drinks, and service were impeccable.

The quality of the food is far from what you'd expect for the price. The risotto was a boring rice dish.

I couldn't get in despite having a reservation. I'm truly shocked!!!

We had the sushi platter and the chicken, and it was simply delicious. The ambiance was also a 10/10. Overall, we had a wonderful evening.

High-quality food, good wines and delicious cocktails

Pompous down to the last corner, and for me, just somewhere to go for a drink or sit outside with friends. The cocktails and drinks selection is very good, prices are normal for Düsseldorf and the place itself, and I'm thrilled that the bar survived the coronavirus pandemic. Meerbar – that pretty much tells you what "good" food you can get here. At least they now offer vegetarian options, but I haven't discovered anything truly vegan yet. So there's still room for improvement.

Beautiful place, good service, and delicious food. I'd gladly go back.

Looking for a place to spend your evening in Düsseldorf and eat good food with your friends or with your partner? This is a must visit! Elegant and delicious meals, amazing Bar with a high variety of alcoholic beverages. The prices are overall above the average but its worth it. Dont forget to book a table for dinner

Everything was fine until the waiter told us not to use the outside exit. He probably thought we'd just leave without paying. We came from a long way as tourists and already felt stupid. The waiter didn't get a tip. My friends and I won't be coming back. For these prices, the restrooms should smell better.

No service. Waiters stand inside, chatting, but no one comes to serve the customers.

Big praise to the waiter who served us on Tuesday evening at 6:00 p.m. We sat outside by the entrance on the left side with my girlfriend. The gentleman is from Tunisia; unfortunately, I can't remember his name, but I know he was back on his first day after a year off. He was friendly, quick, tidy, and very clean in his work. Thank you for your great service.

This is a very nice location with an excellent service and nice drinks. A food is over priced, but it is also fine.

I was there yesterday evening with a male companion. The food was okay, but I (male/female) found the service ignorant and arrogant. After dinner, we wanted dessert, but then only the male companion was handed the menu. I can't comment on the prices since I didn't pay.

Really nice environment near the Rhine. The interior looks cool as well. The food was delicous as well.

I visited this restaurant, and it was truly outstanding! The food was of the highest quality, very tasty, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere with the view of the Rhine is simply stunning and makes for a truly special experience. The staff was very friendly, attentive, and professional – you felt completely at home. Overall, a great place for good food in a beautiful location – highly recommended!

The service here was very bad – we had to wait far too long just to place an order, even though the restaurant was half empty. The food quality was disappointing; the truffle pasta in particular was terrible. For the high prices they charge, the experience is definitely not worth it. To make things worse, even the toilet smelled strongly of urine, which left a very bad impression. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant.

An evening we won't soon forget – unfortunately, in a negative sense. There were eight of us in the restaurant. We clearly paid far too much for what was offered. The positive: Maria and Fatma in the waiting area, as well as the security at the door (booked externally), were friendly, attentive, and very professional. Security held the door open for us whenever we wanted to leave and was extremely courteous. Without these three parties, the evening would have been completely unbearable. The negative – and it weighs heavily: • The restaurant was only at 15–20% capacity. It would have been easy for the chef or manager to come to the table. Instead, they completely hid and left the staff alone. Absolutely unprofessional. • The seafood platters were first incorrectly served as appetizers and later "kept warm." Oysters that arrive warm (instead of on ice, as they should be) are simply disgusting. After eating them, I had severe diarrhea and had to vomit. That's unacceptable. • My risotto contained zucchini, which wasn't listed on the menu – highly problematic for me because I'm allergic to zucchini. I couldn't eat the dish, but I was still charged the full price. The kitchen refused to listen, which is simply ridiculous. • Shrimp and other seafood were overcooked and inedible. • A magnum rosé wasn't served cold enough (at least it was later removed from the bill). A seafood platter was also only charged half price. Still: far too expensive for such abysmal quality. • Tuna steak: The menu didn't list any side dishes. It was served with sweet potato mash, which was not requested. The waiter correctly asked if the dish should be remade. But instead of preparing it fresh, the kitchen apparently just served it on a new plate. The steak was lukewarm and fell apart – a clear indication that it wasn't a new dish, but simply "re-decorated." An absolute no-go in a restaurant with these prices. And the icing on the cake: In a restaurant with this price point, they serve paper napkins instead of cloth ones. Combined with warm oysters and overcooked shrimp, it's simply outrageous. Conclusion: The service (Maria, Fatma, and the security at the door) tried really hard, but they had no chance against the kitchen and the ignorant management. The chef and management are a complete failure. Lousy food, incorrect dishes, warm oysters, health consequences, lukewarm "re-dressed" tuna steak, paper napkins (!), and no sense of responsibility from management. I worked in the restaurant industry for 16 years myself – and I can say it clearly: Disgusting, unprofessional, completely overpriced. Never again.

After almost 3 years I received a notification that my review was deleted because of slander of this place, but it is not slander, but the truth. High rating of this restaurant, because owners complain and delete negative comments. But I will post my review again, now with a rating of 1 instead of 2.

We sat outside and ordered food. As it got colder, we asked to be served inside. The waiter told us it was no problem, but he had to collect our bill first. So far, so good; when we sat inside, another waiter was in charge who no longer seemed interested in us. We weren't asked if we wanted anything else to drink, and our empty plates weren't cleared away. The first, younger waiter was very friendly, but the older waiter with glasses seemed dissatisfied that he couldn't collect our bill and just took over our table. Very rude.

The Meerbar is perfectly located in the Media Harbour. Both indoor and outdoor seating offer a pleasant ambiance. The menu offers something for everyone, with a high level of quality. The taste and quality of the food is top-notch, but competition in the surrounding area is also fierce.

Since the first Google review was deleted, I'd still like to comment. So, let me say it again. The ambiance/location impresses with its style and attention to detail. A huge compliment. Unfortunately, the food falls well short of expectations. I'd like to elaborate, but I can't... It's fundamentally questionable when constructive criticism is handled in this way.

Very nice people, good food, and delicious cocktails. Especially from bartender Daniel; he always makes a masterpiece. I enjoy being there and don't feel left out.

The restaurant looks really impressive but unfortunately we waited an hour for our food which was then served cold and unfortunately didn't taste particularly good. In addition, the music was so loud that it was difficult to understand the person opposite and the price was a bit overpriced.

I couldn't get in because of his black hair and full beard. Despite having a reservation, of course.

This restaurant is racist and has repeatedly banned people from entering based solely on their skin color or religion. Anyone who knowingly supports this is part of the problem!

Never again. On July 23, 2025, I went out to eat with two friends. The service was absolutely terrible, simply the worst.

Quality of the food and service not matching the high price. We were disappointed and believe this could be much better

It's shocking what's going viral about this restaurant. Exclusion and racism should have no place in our society.

I can only recommend it! The service is top-notch and the food and drinks are great. The place is very nice. I'll be back.❤️

We had a lovely evening at the Meerbar. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We also enjoyed the atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

Always love going there. Great service, friendly and helpful staff. Not a wide variety lunch menu I’m my opinion but dinner is always amazing.

It was recommended to us and exceeded all expectations. A very beautiful location right by the water and the crooked houses. We only had cocktails, but they were sensational.

The food was very good quality, although the portions could be a bit larger. The service was very friendly and attentive. The interior and exterior areas were tastefully decorated. I would be happy to come back.

Cozy atmosphere – but the food is a complete disappointment The location and atmosphere truly deserve high praise: lovingly designed, cozy, and furnished with a keen sense of style and detail. You immediately feel at home and invited to enjoy the evening. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to this first impression at all. While the dishes looked attractively presented, the taste fell far short of expectations. The dip was completely bland, and the shrimp were overcooked twice – dry, overcooked, and simply left in the pan for too long. The risotto we ordered turned out to be more like ordinary rice with sauce – no trace of the "sloppiness" typical of risotto. Overall, the food was a stark contrast to the excellent location. A real shame, because the ambiance would have deserved a thoroughly successful evening.

Delightful place by the river. Loved the outdoor seating, the sun and the ambiance. The food is great and the service

We had a reservation for a birthday party with 10 people, but as we were about to enter, the two doormen refused to let us in, arguing that we looked "young and foreign." They only let us in once after one of us spoke German. The service was terrible, abysmal. We ordered two bottles of wine, which took 40 minutes to bring and serve. They also served uneven glasses and spilled wine on one of the diners. Overall, we had to call them several times to get our attention. They brought one of the dishes, and the next nine came 15 minutes later, not to mention they forgot one. They also didn't replace the cutlery for those who had ordered meat. The food was good, although the price-performance ratio leaves something to be desired. At least the place was nice and the atmosphere was great.

High-Society-Bar, top Ambiente, top Lage, top Service

Beautiful location Lovely ambiance The food was excellent

Even though we had a reservation, we weren't allowed in – on the grounds that our attire was "too casual." This is absolutely incomprehensible: I was wearing an elegant dress, my cousin a skirt with a stylish blouse. Our attire was definitely appropriate. At the same time, guests wearing shorts and sandals were allowed in without any problems. How can such a contradictory and discriminatory decision be justified? It was my cousin's birthday – such disrespectful treatment is completely unacceptable.

It's deeply disappointing to see an exclusive location and charming ambiance vanish into thin air when objective criticism is dismissed as "defamation" and reported simply to maintain a flawless record. Such behavior speaks volumes about the true attitude of management: Instead of seeing legitimate criticism as a valuable opportunity for improvement, more energy is apparently devoted to silencing unwelcome voices. It's a paradox, though: Especially in a business that thrives on customer satisfaction, constructive feedback should be viewed as a gift. It points out deficiencies that could be addressed and offers the opportunity to optimize the experience for every guest. Censoring criticism instead of taking it seriously sends a fatal signal. It shows that the well-being of guests and the quality of the service matter less than the superficial appearance of a perfect review. True hospitality means being open to suggestions and constantly striving to improve. Investing time and effort in addressing deficiencies would pay off far more in the long run than any well-intentioned complaint about unwelcome opinions. Because at the end of the day, it's the guests' honest experiences that count – and their willingness to learn from them.

Used to be okay for drinks, now unsuitable for dining We used to go to the Meerbar quite often – it was fine for 1-2 drinks before going out. However, in my opinion, the location is unsuitable for a relaxed dinner. The music is extremely loud, making normal conversation almost impossible. The tables are very close together, which creates additional unrest and a lack of privacy. Although rain was only forecast, we had reservations, and it stayed dry, we weren't allowed to sit outside despite our large umbrellas. Instead, we were seated in an uninviting spot between the bar and the kitchen, directly opposite the restrooms. Our baby – who was very quiet that evening – didn't seem particularly welcome. The crowd seemed fake – lots of very stylish groups, an artificial "posh" atmosphere. If you like that, you might feel comfortable – we found it rather unpleasant. After 30 minutes, we left and had a relaxed and very good meal elsewhere. The Meerbar may still be okay for drinks before going out – but for a relaxed evening, it's definitely not our first choice.

Not recommended!!! Very unfriendly treatment. I felt clearly racist because of a derogatory remark. This kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable.

The restaurant should really consider whether it wants to continue this way and risk a series of lawsuits. Doormen screening at the door is a regular violation of the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). And yes, a restaurant has the right to claim the house, but it still has to comply with applicable law.

As a dark-skinned person, I wasn't allowed to eat there.

Pleasant atmosphere, well-dressed guests and a beautiful view. Service could be improved, I have an idea there are not enough waiters. Otherwise, it is a beautiful dining experience.
