XO Seafoodbar in Hamburg

My first time at the xo seafodbar and definitely not the last. We had a great evening - perfect all round and great service and a new team. I'm already looking forward to the next time.

We had the 4-course menu and it was simply fantastic! Thanks for the great evening!

Wonderful place, with great food and really good service! In my opinion the best place to eat good seafood!

A perfect evening in a great location with great food and a wonderful team. It doesn't get any better

Our visit was a complete success: Great food Great service Cool music from the 80s Thanks for the lovely evening! TuH

As always everything was great!

Cozy restaurant with a focus on fish and seafood. Interesting menu, the food itself still has room for improvement in terms of taste. Service friendly and attentive.

Super hip seafood restaurant, artsy, great engaging service team, food is excellent. Prawn pasta is excellent. Absolutely recommended. A reservation is helpful

We are “repeat offenders” and our anticipation was fully confirmed. The surprise menu was very tasty. Thank you for the lovely evening.

We put our dinner in the chef's hands with the Chef's choice 4 course menu and certainly didn't regret a thing! Absolutely beautiful made and arranged and perhaps more importantly, amazing and deep flavors. Its pricey, but worth it. My first impression when we walked in was how friendly and welcoming the staff was. From the bar tender to every member of the wait staff, we were greeted with a "hello" or "welcome" while we walked to the table and everyone seemed so happy to be there. These little details really make a big difference.

Always really good and tasty. Great ambience, super nice staff.

Service was very accommodating and was able to give good advice. The bar concept was convincing, the atmosphere is relaxed. The fifth star for the cook who personally served our food. Thank you.

Fantastic evening for seafood lovers. The menu is highly recommended and the wine selection is first class.

We enjoyed a menu and it was truly SENSATIONAL! Pasta crab is an absolute must and for the main course we had the skrei with onion purée and kale. Great! Cool location, relaxed staff and great cuisine! We're coming, see you soon! Thanks

Great food, super service. An experience

We love the crab pasta and the vongole were also excellent. Always nice, courteous service.

Great seafood restaurant in urban Hamburg. Chef's Choice menu is a real recommendation. For foodies, a seat at the counter is a must, close to the young, dedicated kitchen team. Relaxed, attentive service.

We chose the 4-course surprise menu and were not disappointed. Creative composition, taste first class, charming and courteous served in a casual atmosphere. In dry January, the drink offering “without” was convincing 😊. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back.

This was our first time at xo. At first I was a little disappointed because we had to order a menu with so many people. BUT: everything was really successful. It tasted exceptionally good. The service was refreshing and just really good. I give one star less for the ambience. The passage was quite narrow. I personally found the high chairs & table very fancy but a bit uncomfortable for the amount of time it took.

A great evening, thank you to the kitchen and the service. The food was exciting, tasteful and visually convincing and really made you happy. The service was calm but attentive, and the whole atmosphere was very pleasant. We'll be back and will definitely choose the big Chef's Choise again.

As always, it was a lovely evening at xo! Best service ever (for my wife's birthday)... Many thanks to the team!

Im Gegensatz zu einer anderen Michelin Empfehlung wurden hier unsere Erwartungen nicht nur erfüllt, sondern übertroffen. Super einfallsreiches Menü mit tollen Kreationen, super netter Service - wir haben uns sehr, sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen beim nächsten Hamburg Aufenthalt sicherlich wieder.

Great service, great food - and child-friendly too. Smooth 1

We had a very delicious evening! The 4 course surprise menu was great! The food is exceptional, innovative and well presented, the aperitif is super delicious, a great selection of wines and the service is top! Thank you!

Really nice experience! The Gyoza was divine.

We really like the sharing principle and this time the four of us were able to try many delicious fish and mussel dishes. Each dish with a different seasoning and emphasis, everything very balanced!

We had the 4 course meal and it was great. You have to try the pasta with crabs. We'd love to come back :)

Seafood at its best. If you want to enjoy a great experience with unusual food with really good service in an exceptional and relaxed atmosphere - this is the place!

Very nice evening, great service, delicious food.

Great food 👍🏻 Service flopped Ambiance Not for us

We had the 5-course menu. Highly recommended!

We had the 4 course menu with friends from Austria and it was spectacular. Wine and unusual cocktails were super tasty. The service was very friendly and quite knowledged. I would come back any time! Highly recommended!

Food and service were quite good but the table we sat was near the kitchen and we did not like that. Considering the amount spent and the experience, the table should have been different.

For me the best service in Hamburg, attentive, competent, friendly, courteous. My absolute go-to when I want to be sure that the evening will be really nice and I want to leave with a pleasantly happy feeling. And don't miss the lobster ramen.

We had a great evening at the XO Seafood Bar yesterday. The 4-course menu was outstanding - fresh seafood, creative preparation and perfectly balanced flavors. Every course was a pleasure! The service was attentive and friendly, the atmosphere stylish and cozy. An all-round successful evening – we would love to come back!

An unusual, beautifully decorated restaurant in the middle of St. Pauli. The service is very attentive. Highly recommended are the BBQ mussels and, as a side dish to the main course, the cucumber salad and spinach with sesame. Really everything was very tasty and exceptional. Thank you for the lovely evening!!!

Food/menu was great - the wine accompaniment replaced by surprise cocktails was great - but your service made the evening for the four of us the best of our stay in Hamburg!

Great card with knowledgeable staff

Im Lokal:Die Lautstärke im Lokal.(erschwert die Unterhaltung.)Die Gerüche der offenen Küche.(aufdringlich) Wer‘s mag? 45 Plätze auf dieser Fläche, die Tische ,sehr eng beieinander. So muss man sich entscheiden, ob man den Brotkorb oder Teller auf die Knie nimmt. Jacken und Mäntel werden an Haken übereinander gehängt. (😔)Der Service ist sehr engagiert und arbeitet professionell. Die Speisen: kleine, interessante Karte. Küche: ist auf hohem Niveau., (erstaunlich, was man in dieser kleinen Küche zustande bringt). Sehr störend sind die extrem lauten Geräusche der Showküche.Davor der Tresen mit 5 Hoch-Stühlen mit direkten Kontakt zur Brigade.(2 m von der Mini Toilette entfernt). Deren Schiebetür schließt nicht und man blickt ins Lokal. Die Karte ist hochpreisig. Lobenswerte Qualität,es schmeckt was auf dem Teller liegt.Die Küche liefert passend eine sehr gute Leistung was Textur,Sensorik,Optik angeht. Die Weinkarte passt sich an, erscheint dabei sehr großzügig kalkuliert. Man muss es mögen dass der Küchenchef vom Kabeljau nicht das hochwertige Mittelstück verwendet.(Kostenseite) Man muss es mögen, dass der Küchenchef entscheidet, was der Gast auf den Teller geliefert bekommt.Der Inhaber gibt das Konzept vor. Man nennt das Omakase, „ich überlasse es Dir“. Was nichts anderes heißt: Der Gast MUSS sich anpassen. Das Konzept ist klar Kosten drücken, auf dem beschränkten Platz rauszuholen was man rausholen kann und dabei doch eine gute Qualität zu liefern. Ob man darauf setzt das der der Hype und der Bekanntheitsgrad des Sterne- Kochs auch hier auf das Zweit Lokal abfärbt? Mit gemischten Eindrücken verlassen wir das Lokal, (sicherlich werden wir nicht wiederkommen.Lage,Umfeld,Gegebenheiten,Interior,Konzeption schliessen das aus.

There were two of us in the XO. Super delicious seafood creations consumed in 6 courses. The red mullet was godlike. What a look, what a feel, what a taste. Tender, hot, loved by the grill. Requests/incompatibilities were taken into consideration. Personally moderated by the glass wine accompaniment was top and overall service was super on point, not intrusive, always attentive. The Alton caviar was particularly great, and we treated ourselves to a 30 gram can of it on top. The sourdough bread (not with the caviar, of course there was toasted white bread) is also a delight. The rooms are stylish, modern and young at heart, which is also fun if you don't prefer seafaring romance.

Everything great, food + service + ambience.

Food was ok, only the portion size of the lobster pasta was smaller than expected. Thanks to the appetizer and bread, we were still full. Chairs a bit uncomfortable but otherwise the furnishings are very nice. Unfortunately, the smell of cooking wafts into the dining room. Service was quite friendly and experienced.

We had the sensational pasta crab 🦀 we were thrilled, the entire evening was a success. Great team 🤩

Excellent food and drinks, completely new taste experiences, very attentive service, and quality has its price. It was a bit cool at the window facing the street, but it didn't detract from the culinary pleasure.

I've been looking forward to eating the legendary pasta crab for a long time and it was worth it! The other dishes we had were also delicious. The service was friendly, courteous and gave us very good advice on everything. We'll definitely be back. The journey from Stuttgart to Hamburg was worth it. Greetings go out to the whole team

Great food, calm service, excellent evening. Gladly again

We had a 4-course menu. Starting from the amuse-bouche to dessert, everything was super delicious. They also have nice wine pairing.

The fact that tables are allocated multiple times in one evening is not entirely to my taste, but it is understandable as a measure to optimize sales. The rule that reserved tables are only kept free for 15 minutes beyond the booked time, as announced in the confirmation email, is also understandable and okay. Now about our visit: We had reserved a table for four people at 9:00 p.m. and arrived on site at around 8:50 p.m. Since the table was still occupied, which understandably wasn't a problem, we were offered to wait outside with a beer. We happily accepted this solution and enjoyed a really delicious beer. At around 9:10 p.m. one of my companions asked about the status of things. The answer was that the table would become available “immediately”. At 9:25 p.m. I personally asked whether we could still expect our table that evening, since on the one hand we were hungry and on the other hand it was getting quite cold outside. I also referred to the 15-minute rule communicated in the email and asked whether this rule also applies to the restaurant. However, the dark-haired employee's response was anything but professional: "If you keep delaying me, it will take even longer for your table to become available." That was unacceptable for us. Disappointed, we left the restaurant and looked for an alternative where we were served in a friendly and appreciative manner. What particularly bothered us was the feeling of being ignored for over 30 minutes. Even if business is going well, a guest must not become a supplicant. If you plan multiple seatings to get the most out of it, that's your right. However, it should then be ensured that the tables are available in good time and that waiting guests are not overlooked.

The first impression: it's loud and narrow, the smell of kitchen is intrusive. 45 seats, mini tables, very close together. Wardrobes and coats are hung on top of each other on hooks. catastrophic. The service is dedicated and professional. Food: small, interesting menu. Kitchen: is of a high standard, amazing what you can achieve in this small kitchen. The extremely loud noises from the show kitchen, 5 high/stools with direct contact to the brigade, and the toilet 2 m away are very disturbing. The sliding door doesn't close and you can see into the restaurant. With the mini tables you have to decide whether to put the bread basket or the plate on your knees. The menu is expensive, with reasonable portions. You have to like that the chef decides what the guest gets on their plate. The owner provides the concept. This is called omakase, “I leave it to you”. Which means nothing else: the guest MUST adapt. We leave the restaurant with very mixed impressions and the feeling that we don't belong there again. Addition: After I submitted the review, XO wrote to me and asked for a review..."You read the reviews" Well apparently not, or the program/app will not be supplemented/expanded, etc.

Unfortunately very disappointed. Pasta crab was bland, unspectacular during consumption, a slight spiciness/flavor only came after eating. Pleasing: The noodles had bite. Ice cream and apple fritters were carelessly “served” on the plate as dessert, but luckily they tasted good. But generally unspectacular, boring, unimaginative.

It was a great evening. Great food and very loving service! I can only recommend it!!!!

Nice uncomplicated restaurant with fantastic food! Very creative, highly recommended.

We love this place. The food, the ambient and the staff are all amazing. We have tried mussel, krabbe pasta, scallops and gyoza. All very delicious and well prepared. I also recommend the counter option for sitting so you can watch the kitchen.

We are in love!!! The location is so loving and casual, the service is incredibly attentive and not only extremely professional but also very charming. The food is amazing ♥️ we have never eaten such great fish. Unfortunately, since we are only in Hamburg for two days, we made another reservation for today yesterday! ♥️

Food was OK (3.5-4) starters better than main course. The wait between servings on Omakase menu were way too long, sometimes over 25mins. We went for a 6 course surprise menu and 3 of us left hungry. Nice vibe of the place, open kitchen which is visible to some of the tables

We didn't have dinner, so I can only judge the food visually, the cocktails were really good. But the staff has to be highlighted for me. Incredibly friendly, informal and we felt very comfortable.

A great place to spend a few hours. Great ambience, nice and courteous service. Only the food is subject to hype. It's really good down-to-earth food, but nothing more.

We had a wonderful evening and a great seat at the kitchen counter. We were able to see live how our menu was prepared by a fantastic kitchen team. It was rounded off by attentive service, cheerful staff and great food!

The food was good, but unfortunately it didn't surprise us. I would have liked more exciting dishes and plates. Important comments were also overlooked when making the reservation, which in my opinion shouldn't happen at this level. Otherwise the service was very nice and we really liked it, the atmosphere is great and fun.

Extraordinary good hospitality, nice people, delicious food. A place to have a really nice time. Pasta Krabbe is a MUST. If you like to observe how the dishes are made then 100% rec to sit at the counter. See u next time 😉

Great food, great wines/cocktails

We had the chef's choice menu and were very satisfied! A great evening with great food and really good service! Very happy again.

The amount of the food got extremely low. We were sitting at the counter, the extractor hood was not working. All our clothes smelled food.

We had a wonderful evening here! After we were allowed to choose whether we would prefer to sit in a quiet place or in the middle of the hustle and bustle, we opted for the quiet - just a candle or a slightly more cozy light would have been nice at the table. Apart from that, the evening was a culinary dream and so was the service team. They were friendly and personable and asked about our wishes and preferences, gave us unobtrusive advice and were also available for a nice chat in quiet moments. We had the six-course chef's menu and were particularly enthusiastic about the mussel BBQ, the scallops and the hake with onion puree. The greetings from the kitchen, sourdough bread with miso butter and seaweed caviar, sashimi crudo, crab pasta and the coup Denmark Royal did not disappoint in any way. So, rather excited! And I was particularly happy that there was a Yuzu Collins <3

Mega service and really great and special food!

We had a delicious meal last weekend! However, I would like to be honest that even though I am aware that when choosing a good restaurant you can expect higher prices, I unfortunately found the ratio of portion sizes to price very unbalanced. With the Catch of the Day for €42 I had the smallest portion with a 6x6 cm piece of fish. The service was always attentive and friendly, but did not coordinate with the people who were looking after the table, so within the first 10 minutes we were asked by three waitresses whether we had already decided - which made it a bit uncomfortable. So well-intentioned but a bit too much of a good thing. Lastly, I would like to mention that I charge a water flat rate of €5 per person. I find it excessive... All in all, the focus is on quality and taste and we were satisfied with that.

We come to this restaurant at 8.40 on Sunday with the desire to try out a good fish dish. Unfortunately the kitchen was already closed and we only ordered oysters. The wines were very nice, especially rose sparkling wine. Oysters were fresh, but with soy Sauce, I think it would be best without this sauce.

It really was an absolutely wonderful evening with great service and the food was a palate explosion. We were lucky enough to have our own wine accompaniment to our 6-course menu. And good wine and good food you can't say more 😊 unfortunately we live too far away to enjoy this experience again. Thank you for this wonderful evening 😊

I was very, very impressed with the quality of the food!

Best Seafood in town! Love this place…

Very pleasant atmosphere, modern but not intrusive. Discreet and efficient service. Excellent menu. Food and furnishings with a Japanese touch.

An incredibly beautiful and enjoyable evening - thanks to the kitchen team for the flavors and combinations and the service for hosting us. We felt very comfortable and really enjoyed the Chefs Choice menu. See you soon!

After initial difficulties with the reservation, we had an entertaining evening with good dishes and suitable wine accompaniment. The service was good. We would love to come back!

We had an incredible evening here with good wine, very good food, great service and a nice atmosphere. The XO is a clear recommendation for anyone who loves good food. We had a nice seat with a view of the kitchen. We started with an aperitif, followed by great sashimi from the catch of the day and the delicious sourdough bread, then we had some of the best mussels we've ever had, then there was super delicious artichoke with a delicious dip and of course the legendary pasta crab, which is really outstanding was delicious. The whole thing was rounded off with a delicious dessert in the form of homemade ice cream with caviar. A crazy mix and super tasty. We'll definitely be back. Ps: the espresso and cappuccino are really great!

Best fish restaurant in Hamburg! At least! Recommendation: Chef's Choice, just trust the friendly staff and great chefs.

We had a wonderful evening with excellent food. Everything fine from A to Z

Extremely nice, calm atmosphere with very good food, extremely nice service and a well thought-out menu. Prices are a bit sporty, drinks are delicious, the dips, sauces and bread are excellent. Always happy to come back.

Great 4 course menu with the highlight pasta crab. Next time the big portion.

XO Seafood Bar Hamburg Unfortunately very disappointed! Why? The service was very inattentive. Each course took a very long time. Essential things were missing from the food. Reservation online recommended. Condition: You must confirm the reservation in advance with a credit card. If you don't cancel 48 hours in advance, for example because you're sick at short notice, your credit card will be charged 90 euros for 2 people. We reserved a table at the XO Seafood Bar because it had been on our wish list for a long time. Not just because she was at Tim Mälzer's Kitchen Impossible in the spring. We had booked a table at 6:00 p.m., were greeted warmly and shown to our table. We had already studied the menu online and already had a plan of what we wanted to order. My wife requested the pasta crab. Many of the offerings on the menu read very well for me, but I ultimately decided on three starters that I know well from many restaurants or prepare myself and that I was really looking forward to. Two of them as a starter for the two of us, the third for my wife's main course, where we share both. As a starter to combat our first big hunger, we ordered the sourdough bread with miso butter and seaweed caviar (€10), which was served “promptly” 45 minutes later, around 6:45 p.m. The sourdough bread is very tasty, the miso butter is quite salty, the caviar made from seaweed... hmm? I don't know, it's not my taste and you don't need it for sourdough bread. In between (it felt like 15 minutes) Blick tried several times to contact the service to get some of the wine we ordered refilled. I then took over it myself, you don't actually do that, but it was okay with me because our service didn't take care of it. As starters we have Skana Gyoza: Catch of the day, shrimps, pointed cabbage, garlic, chili; Classic €16 and Sashimi Crudo: Catch of the day, red shiso, pink ginger elderflower capers, beetroot wasabi €22 ordered. Unfortunately, the gyozas (5 pieces) came with a matching dip or sauce without us knowing it. And unfortunately they were at most lukewarm. We asked for chopsticks for the cod sashimi. Unfortunately, after requests from service in the kitchen, they weren't available. Sashimi with a knife and fork? But it tasted very good. At around 7:15 p.m. (half an hour after the sourdough bread), after waiting for a while, I told our server that we were now ready for our starter. The plates for the sourdough bread with the remains of the miso butter on them were left for the two of us to share with the two starters. Can be done with environmentally friendly thoughts. Everything OK. This came “subito” 30 minutes later around 7:45 p.m. Pasta crab €28 and BBQ clams, grilled clams, miso sesame mayo, bitter salad, char caviar 23 €. My wife liked the pasta crab. Unfortunately for me, not at all. But/and: The dish is called “Pasta Krab”. We ordered the large portion for €28. There were a maximum of 10 mini crabs, a lot of trout caviar but unfortunately only a maximum of about two tablespoons of bisque. The price-performance ratio is not right here. BBQ clams (€23): That was about 9 mussels (a kilo costs about €4.99) on a radicchio salad and they were delicious! The price-performance ratio doesn't fit here either. Service: compared to what we know, unfortunately very inattentive and not good. Waiting times: very long. Price-performance ratio: too expensive. In total: Unfortunately, it's a shame! We were really looking forward to this evening at the XO Seafood Bar, but unfortunately we didn't go home really happy or full. In total, with three or four starters, a main course, water, wine and an espresso, our bill totaled 164 euros. Maybe Mr. Haebel will read our feedback and do something with it if he thinks he can do something with it.

Just wow. :) from the starter to the dessert, every single course was perfectly coordinated and delicious. Would love to come back.

It wasn't our first visit here. Unfortunately, the food that day wasn't what it usually is. Unfortunately, the taste was not seasoned enough. However, the service was excellent as always. But we were sitting at the front of the entrance area and it was incredibly cold. The result was that there was simply no nice atmosphere. On the contrary, we just wanted to get the meal over with and be able to leave. Too bad

We were immediately very impressed by the very nice ambience and the relaxed atmosphere. We were warmly welcomed by our waiter and were even able to choose our table and had a wonderful view of the open kitchen. We had selected a 4-course menu in advance and enjoyed the beautifully presented dishes. Great! All around a very great service and a successful evening at xo. We'll be back!

XO Seafood Bar Hamburg Leider sehr enttäuscht! Warum? Der Service war sehr unaufmerksam. Die Gänge haben jeweils sehr lange gedauert. Wesentliche Dinge bei den Speisen haben gefehlt. Reservierung online empfohlen. Bedingung: Man muss mit einer Kreditkarte die Reservierung vorher bestätigen. Wenn man nicht 48 Stunden vorher storniert, weil bspw. kurzfristig krank, wird die Kreditkarte mit 90 Euro für 2 Personen belastet. Wir haben in der XO Seafood Bar einen Tisch reserviert, weil sie schon lange auf unserer Wunschliste stand. Nicht nur, weil sie im Frühjahr von Tim Mälzer bei Kitchen Impossible war. Wir hatten zu 18:00 Uhr einen Tisch bestellt, wurden freundlich begrüßt und zu unserem Tisch geführt. Die Speisekarte hatten wir vorher bereits online studiert und hatten schon einen Plan, was wir bestellen wollen. Meine Frau hat sich die Pasta Krabbe gewünscht. Für mich lasen sich viele Angebote in der Speisekarte sehr gut, letztendlich habe ich mich dann für drei Vorspeisen entschieden, die ich gut aus vielen Restaurants oder selbst zubereiten kenne und auf die ich mich sehr gefreut habe. Zwei davon als Vorspeise für uns zwei, die dritte zum Hauptgang meiner Frau, bei dem wir uns beides teilen. Als Starter gegen den ersten großen Hunger haben wir das Sauerteigbrot mit Miso Butter und Algen Kaviar (10,- €) bestellt, welches auch „prompt“ 45 Minuten später, gegen 18:45 Uhr serviert wurde. Das Sauerteigbrot ist sehr lecker, die Miso Butter ziemlich sehr salzig, der Kaviar aus Algen … hmm? ich weiß nicht, geschmacklich nicht meins und braucht man nicht zum Sauerteig Brot. Zwischendurch (ca. gefühlt 15 Minuten) mehrmals versucht Blick Kontakt zum Service herzustellen, um von unserem bestellten Wein etwas nachfüllen zu lassen. Habe ich dann selbst übernommen, macht man eigentlich nicht, war für mich dann aber okay, weil sich unser Service nicht darum gekümmert hat. Als Vorspeisen haben wir Skana Gyoza: Catch of the day, shrimps, pointed cabbage, garlic, chili; Classic 16 € und Sashimi Crudo: Catch of the day, red shiso, pink ginger elderflower capers, beetroot-wasabi 22 € bestellt. Die Gyozas (5 Stück) kamen leider ohne wir es kennen mit einem passenden Dip oder Sauce dazu. Für das Sashimi vom Kabeljau haben wir nach Stäbchen gefragt. Die gab es nach Nachfragen vom Service in der Küche leider nicht. Sashimi mit Messer und Gabel? Hat aber sehr gut geschmeckt. Gegen 19:15 Uhr (halbe Stunde nach dem Sauerteig Brot) habe ich nach bereits etwas längerem warten unserem Service gesagt, dass wir jetzt gerne bereit für unsere Vorspeise sind. Die Teller für das Sauerteig Brot mit den Resten der Miso Butter drauf blieben für die Aufteilung der beiden Vorspeisen für uns beide liegen. Kann man aus umweltgerechten Gedanken machen. Alles ok. Diese kam dann auch „subito“ 30 Minuten später gegen 19:45 Uhr. Pasta Krabbe 28 € und BBQ Clams, grilled clams, miso sesame mayo, bitter salad, char caviar 23 €. Pasta Krabbe hat meiner Frau gut geschmeckt. Mir leider gar nicht. Aber/und: Das Gericht heißt „Pasta Krabbe“. Wir haben die große Portion für 28 € bestellt. Hier waren maximal 10 Minikrabben, dafür viel Forellenkaviar aber leider nur maximal ca. zwei Esslöffel Bisque drin. Hier stimmt das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis nicht. BBQ Clams (23 €): Das waren ca. 9 Miesmuscheln (das Kilo kostet ca. 4,99 €) auf Radicchio Salat waren lecker! Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis passt auch hier ebenfalls nicht. Service: im Vergleich zu dem, was wir kennen, leider sehr unaufmerksam und nicht gut. Wartezeiten: sehr lange. Preis- Leistungsverhältnis: zu teuer. In Summe: Leider sehr schade! Wir haben uns sehr auf diesem Abend in der XO Seafood Bar gefreut, sind aber leider nicht wirklich glücklich und auch nicht satt nach Hause gefahren. In Summe hatten wir mit drei, vier Vorspeisen, einer Hauptspeise, Wasser, Wein, ein Espresso 164 Euro auf der Rechnung. Vielleicht liest Herr Haebel unser Feedback und macht etwas daraus, wenn er meint etwas damit anfangen zu können.

good reception from attentive service. The restaurant wasn't fully booked that evening, but it was almost full. When we ordered, we pointed out several times that we had a pregnant woman with special needs. Unfortunately, they got lost on the way to the kitchen. The cooks who were serving didn't know anything about it. Unfortunately that costs the 5 star. But everything else really fit. We felt very comfortable and really enjoyed the modern menu. Fish lovers really get their money's worth here! We'd love to come back!

The restaurant is very nicely decorated. Unfortunately, for groups of 6 or more, you can only order the menu. Wine advice was manageable. You can save on salad for starters. The amount of fish in the fish courses is not enough, e.g. in the shrimp paste there are only a few, isolated...

Calm atmosphere with attentive service, relaxed guests and slightly unusual food, but without a lot of chi chi. Portions not too small/not too big. Good value for money. We shared everything... bread first, crudo of the day, summer salad, pasta crab, lobster, Coup Denmark Royal, first champagne, water and a bottle of very tasty white wine (200€)

Great place right next to the kitchen, super friendly, both service and kitchen team. And of course, great food, nothing that didn't taste great! We'll be happy to come back, thank you for a great evening!

We had the 6-course Chef's Choice menu (€100). It was excellent! I'll definitely come back next time I'm in Hamburg!

Pasta crab!?! We had already heard a lot about the dish beforehand. And it was actually even better than I imagined! The service was very friendly and very attentive! Knew about all the dishes! and took you through a wonderful evening! All the dishes we ate were very tasty and well prepared. The only point of criticism is that the evening went by way too quickly! We'll be back! Thanks for the great evening

Everything was great! Even our 2-year-old had fish fingers in fine dining style. Great service, thank you for the nice evening!

The XO Seafood team cooked and served the guests as they should...then a stone's throw to the Laeiszhalle, where we were also able to admire Pat Metheny, a successful evening in Hamburg. We would be happy to come back and wish you continued fun and success. LG from Patrick & Christof from Frankfurt

It was great, both the food, the super nice and competent staff and the ambience! I'll be back!

Amazing evening. Great food and great wine. The waiters were great at telling about the food and wine. Thank you.

Mega delicious overall experience. Outstanding crudo and spaghetti alle vongole

Selected and high quality food and drinks | very attentive service | beautiful location | Restaurant pearl of St. Pauli

Food and service were top! (6 courses for two people) In my opinion there are a few things that can be improved. To eat: - generally, as I said, very good - Creativity: the surprise menu included some courses from the standard menu. I would have liked more of a “surprise”. - the very tasty chive oil was used in two courses. A little more variation (and therefore visually) would be even more meaningful -Suggestion: Offer a pairing of drinks (also different suitable ones or non-alcoholic ones and not just wine); This means that the margin for the restaurant can be increased again. Restaurant: -we sat at a very small table at the front near the bar. It was still very pleasant, but from 8 p.m. onwards there were a lot of visitors waiting for their tables in the area. From then on it was a bit uncomfortable - Tableware: more variety and something of higher quality would be good. We also have to refill our plates with a few courses that were not swapped between courses. I would prefer to get each course on the special dishes used for it. It would also be good to get new cutlery for every course. This way the courses mix in taste. That's not necessary. - Toilet situation: Great contrast to the rest; While the sink was still pretty, the stalls were dirty (urine on the floor). Of course, that's initially up to the guests, but if the overall picture is correct, a guest doesn't necessarily dare to leave the toilet so dirty. The toilet bowl is obviously not cleaned regularly or properly (completely full of brown deposits) Except for the toilet situation, this is complaining at a very high level for me. We had a great evening and it tasted excellent.

Very friendly welcome and great service throughout the evening. We had a menu that was very good overall except for the first course with a mixed salad and a kind of ceviche, which were a little different from the rest. In any case, everything else is highly recommended and we will visit the XO again.

Everything was an amazing experience. The food, service and staff were exceptional. We would definitely return again!

The food was fantastic! The service was friendly and the atmosphere was wonderful!

The service was very professional and friendly! The timing between courses was too long (sometimes up to 45 minutes). Unfortunately, the concept of multiple occupancy of places didn't work at all! We were “parked” for 25 minutes and our predecessors at the table were probably forced to leave. If we had decided on the menu, it would have been completely out of control!
