Seaside in Lübeck

We enjoyed going there for years. But at some point, the quality of the food and, to some extent, the service changed noticeably. Unfortunately, this hasn't changed in the last four visits. Therefore, we've decided to go to a competitor in the future.

We went there for dinner on August 16, 2025. Friendly service and tasty food at fair prices.

Delicious food (we had the fish and the seafood, both fresh and perfectly prepared), very attentive and friendly service and nice location. Definitely recommend

The food was excellent, and the service was very good and friendly. Unfortunately, there were a lot of spiders at our table, which we didn't find particularly pleasant. However, it was a lovely spot by the water and we could watch the boats and paddlers. We'd be happy to come back, but not at this table.

We had a good meal, but a bit more staff would have been ideal, but that's just the way it is everywhere these days. We'll be back. Highly recommended.

We were disappointed. There's still a lot of room for improvement when it comes to Italian food.

Food was good and plentiful, staff was friendly and accommodating

We were recommended the Seaside restaurant. The food was terrible. I absolutely don't understand the reviews that describe the food as delicious. I've been a chef in 4- and 5-star hotels for over 30 years. The service was unfriendly, and the cleanliness could use a rag. There was no apology or offer of anything. Unprofessional. A real shame.

Delicious and perfectly fine. Prices were high, but the ambiance was not. Service was quick and attentive.

We were very satisfied with the ambiance, the food, and also with the service staff. Everyone was very friendly and polite. The only downside: We had to request payment twice and still wait... What a shame! Otherwise, it would have been perfect.

We've eaten there several times, but today the service was a disaster. My husband got a Coke shower—his shirt was wet, his jacket was stained. The waitress commented, "Should we pay for the cleaning?" What a question. She wasn't seen again that evening. When we asked, they said, "Well, then they'll send us the cleaning bill." That's not good service. When we asked for an ashtray, we were given a dirty one. It wasn't a pleasant evening for us. It was the last visit for us, and for our friends, too.

That was the worst evening I've ever experienced in this restaurant! You're not even noticed as an individual when you arrive and are treated like air. Other customers are offered tables first. You wait forever at the table to place an order. The drink arrives at the same time as the food, when you're almost dying of thirst. The mixed salad had way too much vinegar and oil and was just sour. The pasta with salmon was good. Twice they tried to bring me bread, but I never saw it. I couldn't eat until later because no cutlery was provided. Ordering another drink wasn't possible because no one else came. They cleared the table without asking how the food was. They probably already knew that only bad things would come. Paying at the table wasn't possible either, since no one else came. So I had to do it at the counter, WITHOUT a tip! All evening, cutlery was left behind on the first floor, guests were ignored, and no one asked how satisfied they were. Only glasses and dirty cutlery fell while clearing the table. Service was nonexistent, and they could have earned much more money from the guests.

Fresh fish. Attentive service. Poor bathroom facilities. It's actually a snack bar.

Very nice restaurant and very nice staff

Very poor service! We had to wait over 20 minutes for our order to be taken, and then another hour for the food to be served. When we pointed out that we had to wait a very long time, the response was, "You can see it's packed." Unfortunately, we couldn't enjoy the otherwise delicious meal because we had an appointment, and the two hours we had planned weren't enough time to dine comfortably. Guests who placed their orders after us had finished eating before we were served any food. A disappointing experience!

We had a fantastic company event and Michelle was a fantastic server. Thank you so much.

We simply love the ambience, the great service and the good food!

Delicious food and sweet and fast service. Large starter, but a bit small with vegetables and potatoes for the main course.

The Seaside attracted us with its shape and location. Unfortunately, the impractical and unsightly seating on the terrace prevented it from receiving a better rating. The lobster and spaghetti carbona were delicious. The service was slow to get going.

This ship is definitely worth a visit. There's no rough sea, but there are parking spaces in front of the berth. Beautiful view of Lübeck's towers and the harbor. The food isn't bad either. A few appetizers are enough for us today. The wine is also tasty, and a bottle is still affordable. We received friendly service. What more could you want?

Very tasty food and a varied menu. Unfortunately, there isn't a large selection for vegans, but there are vegan dishes, and the vegan portion of the group was also satisfied. Unfortunately, not all desserts were available at this late hour, which was only noticed when the food was served. Perhaps this could be improved, as otherwise an alternative would have been chosen.

"Hunger drives us in..." We just ate there and were quite disappointed. 1. The tablecloth was dirty from previous guests. It was only changed when we asked. The waiter had already laid out cutlery for us... Hello!!??? 2. My partner ordered a Duckstein. It was light and tasted sweet. When we asked, they "checked" and confirmed that it was a Duckstein!? All the other guests received bread. We didn't. Perhaps we weren't "appropriate"?? 3. Some of the food was cold and the pizza didn't have enough cheese. The crust was rock hard. 4. Some of the windows were very dirty from the outside, and there were lots of cobwebs. 5. We asked the waiter in charge twice for permission to pay. The third time, we asked a different waiter for the bill. We felt like second-class guests. That shouldn't happen in a restaurant. We certainly won't be coming back. Besides the cold food, what annoyed us most was the condescending way we were treated.

The location is great, thumbs up! Service is underwhelming, and the food is more provincial Italian. It's a shame. There's real potential.

I have never eaten pasta this good.

Very good value for money. Delicious food, beautiful ambiance. We'd be happy to come back.

Ideal place to celebrate. Great food! Superb service!

Nice place with a slightly more upscale ambience.

Very tasty food, I would love to come back

It was my daughter's 44th birthday which we celebrated in Lübeck Seaside.

Great location, delicious food.

We "only" had an Aperol Spritz outside on the back deck in the sun. It was delicious. The staff is extremely friendly! Next time we'll come for dinner, too!

Very good quality with all the food choices, and the drinks/ cocktails are top notch. Its ambiance is a bonus 👍🏼

The food was delicious, but there was far too little. I want to be full when I go out to eat. We waited a long time for the food and the bill. That wasn't service-oriented.

We had reservations for 25 people. Everything was coordinated, including the champagne toast. It didn't work out so well, but overall the staff made a great effort. I highly recommend it; other guests had different opinions. I will definitely eat there more often in the future.

A special ambience on the deck of the boat. The restaurant offers plenty of seating, so reservations make sense - especially when there are more visitors. The map is much more extensive than you can see on the website. The service was friendly and regularly asked if anything was missing.

The food (seafood pizza was well topped and the dough was crispy, Vitello Tonato had creamy dressing and the meat quality was very good, perhaps the tuna flavor could be emphasized a bit) was very tasty. The service staff are very nice, but could be a little quicker. The atmosphere outside on the Trave in sunny weather is very nice. The prices are great!

Really great restaurant, unique atmosphere on a ship. Food menu is extensive with strong and fast and friendly service!

Great service, good food and nice seating.

If you're lucky, you'll have it too super friendly, non-intrusive service. We prefer to sit downstairs as it is quite loud and restless. The food was great this time, there was nothing to complain about.

Nice Italian restaurant on a ship

We are very satisfied, always very tasty and everyone is very friendly.

Amazing food, friendly service, wonderful atmosphere on the river boat! Pizza with Parma salami is worth trying!

Right on the Trave River. You can sit comfortably in the 🌞.

Very tasty food and nice ambience 😊😊😊😊

Classic Italian, inexpensive, quick and tasty. The canneloni are particularly recommended. Update: it was quick. We went to Seaside yesterday and had to wait almost an hour for our food. The payment process also took a long time and unfortunately my drink was forgotten. The new waiter did a great job to start with. The food was again very good.

We stopped in spontaneously, were immediately assigned a nice table, and had a really good meal. The portions were presented with a lot of effort. The service was very attentive and friendly.

We arrived late due to a traffic jam on the highway, the extremely attentive staff made it possible for us to get to the theater on time and get our very tasty food quickly. Thanks for that

In der Gruppe gut zu besuchen, zentral gelegen,geräumig,vielfältiges Angebot,lecker gegessen,guter Service,gutes Preis.- Leistungsverhältnis

Great atmosphere with great food. Everything was very well maintained and clean. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Appropriate prices for this location. No wish is left unfulfilled here. Highly recommended.

We like to eat Italian here. It's nice to look out over the canal trave from the ship. Unfortunately, it is rather cold in this restaurant in winter, despite the heating being on. We got a free cappuccino after lunch. We'd love to come back.

Beautiful place on the ship and direct view to the water

After standing in a complete closure on the A1 for 2 hours (!!!) on the way to Lübeck today, we arrived in foggy and cold Lübeck quite annoyed. For our third visit to the Hanseatic city, I discovered the Seaside on Maps yesterday and wanted to surprise my husband with a visit there... so I guided him through the old town, a little annoyed. When we saw the ship from the outside our eyes brightened, and our mood became even better with the very friendly greeting from the waiter and the warm, friendly atmosphere inside the ship. Cappuccino to warm up, pizza salami and pizza spinaci pleased body and soul... nice thin, fresh pizza base, high quality and well topped. And for a really reasonable price in an exceptional atmosphere on a ship, the service is friendly, fast and attentive. The only small drawback were the stains of tomato sauce on the tablecloth. You saved our day today and we will definitely come back next time we are in Lübeck.

Very tasty food, friendly service and an exceptional ambience. We would be happy to come back if we were to be in Lübeck again.

We had reserved a table and were shown to a table that was not prepared and had a dirty tablecloth. Didn't feel welcome. Food great as always, I'm there often. Service not that attentive.

One of the best Italian restaurants in Lübeck that we know. Very tasty, excellently seasoned and fresh food as well as a wide selection. The staff is friendly, attentive and always customer-oriented. The condition of the restaurant is clean and well maintained. You have a great view over the harbor. The price/performance ratio is also positive, which is still okay here. It is highly recommended to reserve a table well in advance!

We have been here several times over the last 15 years and have never been disappointed. Be it at events or just for dinner. Always a good choice!

We arrived about 30 minutes before the reserved time and were kindly shown to our table. We were served very friendly. Our order was taken quickly. The only thing I can complain about is the time it took for our food to arrive. However, all dishes were very tasty. Overall, Seaside is definitely worth a visit.

The first and unfortunately probably the last time. Service was very friendly and accommodating but the food, yes, is a matter of taste but if I want pasta, I don't order lasagna, which is a shame. I know bruschetta to be a little different and spicier, which is a shame. The steaks, for the price, are not 180g, children's plates are more suitable, which is a shame. Unfortunately I didn't order the pizza, I would say it was upper average, so I would probably have done better with that. Drinks ok, espresso recommended, very great aroma and nice consistency. Unfortunately only a non-alcoholic type of beer. The ambience could have a bit more Italian flair, but that's personal taste. These are my very personal impressions, please try them for yourself.

Was here again for dinner after a long time. Service was friendly, but unfortunately the food took over an hour even though there wasn't that much going on. Also very small portion of the main course, bruschetta starter burnt black on the edge. It was the last time for me. It's a shame I can't recommend it.

We were invited here for a birthday party in the summer. Great view & ambience from above on the deck. Very friendly service. The various appetizers, pizzas and ice cream from the buffet were all very tasty. Highly recommended.

The restaurant has its own atmosphere... I recommend visiting it

Company event was good, staff very attentive, food very good!

Service was simply great and extremely personable and friendly... the food was extremely tasty and great quality... again and again and highly recommended... thank you very much for this lovely evening today!

Recommended Italian restaurant. Great atmosphere, very good service. We have been there many times and always like to come back...

Waited a long time for drinks, possibly understaffed

Gutes Essen, freundliche Bedienung. Wein relativ teuer. Wegen Umbausrbeiten geschlossen, voraussichtlich bis 28. 10.24, evtl länger

Unique dining experience! The ambience is unbeatable! The operation is simply super brilliant! The food is very high quality!

The "Seaside" is closed until October 28, 2024 for renovation work. Unfortunately it doesn't appear on the internet.

Rarely have I experienced such a good Italian restaurant; everything was perfect, from the ambience to the food to the super friendly service

Very tasty cuisine. I recommend it.

The staff is friendly and the food is very tasty. The ambience could be done better. Taste is different.

Great service and great ambience. Price performance is right for the food. Highly recommended

The food is really of a very high standard, but a good eater should order two portions and, above all, several drinks at the same time, reordering is very difficult and time-consuming! The ambience is extraordinary. The staff is really very friendly, but totally overwhelmed!!

Astrid, have you found a part-time job?

As always, everything was very tasty. The salads are great.

Very nice location. The food really tasted very good.

Unfortunately I can't report anything about the food. I arrived around lunchtime and left hungry and angry after waiting 1 1/2 hours for food. I still had to pay €5 for the drink. And the kicker is actually that it was sold to me as a “goodwill” that I didn’t have to pay for the meal. Not to be outdone in terms of cheekiness. The waiter was friendly, but clearly overwhelmed. (Wrong orders delivered to neighboring tables)

A restaurant that has been known for a long time and where we always enjoy meeting up. Always a very good pizza!

Highly recommended, has something

Great restaurant, great ambience! Very friendly service especially Dania.

Dania was the best that was with us! She was particularly friendly and provided perfect service! :)

Wonderful place to eat Great view. Very competent person and also super friendly. Food was excellent. Always very happy.

Food was excellent as always. Highly recommended.

A real Italian restaurant, we took carbonara, tenderloin in sauce and grilled sea bream with fries. Very tasty and fresh food. I recommend.

Delicious food directly on a ship. Service super friendly. You can eat inside as well as outside. The furnishings and seating options are a bit old, which disturbs the visual appearance. Otherwise you can recommend the Seaside.

Rump steak was ordered rare and was well done Ice cream was supposed to be vanilla, but we got caramel Pork was fried to death and loveless No, thank you never again There are better restaurants in Lübeck

The Seaside has been a highlight on special occasions for many years. Last night we had another special event to celebrate and this time the restaurant visit was a complete disaster. To keep it short: Waited a long time, forgot to eat, not the usual perfect service, but I don't want to go into it any further, BECAUSE: There was a bereavement in the crew and in the end we had such magical service that was originally... was not responsible for us. That made up for everything and, despite the initial annoyances, we went home happy, full, inspired and satisfied. We wish the crew all the best and would like to express our sincere condolences.

We were pleasantly surprised. We have lived very close by for 10 years. Of course, we've noticed the 'Schiff' restaurant for a long time and now we finally managed to eat there. Nice ambience. Tables covered with textile tablecloths. Super nice service. We really enjoyed the dishes we chose. The moderate prices also allowed us to enjoy a dessert and coffee. It certainly wasn't our last visit to Seaside!

Wir kennen das Lokal seit vielen Jahren und mögen es, dort mit Blick auf die Kanal-Trave zu essen. Aber das war heute wohl das letzte Mal. Der Rosé war deutlich zu warm, die Pizza in der Mitte matschig und zu wenig knusprig. Die Bedienung war aus-gesprochen langsam und musste für jeden Wunsch engesprochen werden mit ellen-langer Wartezeit. Zu allem Überfluß durften wir uns auch noch die Beschimpfungen der Machos untereinander anhören - so etwas gehört nicht vor den Gast!!!

We now wait 1.5 hours for our food

Actually, this pizzeria was absolutely our choice for good Italian cuisine a good year ago. The prices were also still acceptable after Corona. But a lot has changed there in the last few months. Bad staff, bad food and what felt like double wine prices. 2 pizzas today Picked up and a glass of wine per person for 8.90 euros each. Total 46 euros for everything. Menu The outside should be renovated. The old prices are still there. It's a shame about this formerly good restaurant with a nice location.

Prices now overpriced. No service and bad food. It used to be better. But it's noticeably run down. It's a shame.

The food was great. The service was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere on the ship was unusual for me as a Hesse, but very nice and cozy.

The vegetarian antipasti plate was sobering (bad): two piles of arugula without a trace of dressing, a lot of olives, two wedges of melon without ham substitute, but 7 slices of bread. There is still potential for improvement!

Good Italian cuisine on the river!

The food was carelessly prepared. The pork fillets were practically swimming in the sauce. The taste was okay. After clearing away we weren't even asked if we would like dessert, espresso or something similar. The facility is getting old

Eating on a boat Parking nearby

Really delicious pizza in a nice atmosphere right on the water. And the prices are totally OK too. Totally recommended.

A great location with parking and a great view. Food was very good, great salad dressing! See you soon!

Delicious food and friendly staff.
