Reviews
Great foods and great suggestion of wines and liquors. Espresso martini and gin are really good. Foods are also good. We had tartar beef and yellowfin as starters and fried whole fish and deep fried prawns. The only thing I cannot give 5 stars is waiting time for food.
Great location on elbe River, pretty fancy location replicating the container area and with a nice view on the maritime station. The food is nice with great presentation in spite the taste might be a little bit upgraded to be really super top, I assume of they would make it they might get something lore than a mention in the michelin guide. The service is good, precise and kind in spite might be consistent overall the whole evening. If you want to impress someone than this might be your place.
So, it was very very delicious in am Kai. Nice place, near the water, atmosphere, people. Personal is very friendly and take into account your wishes and restriction about food.
The meal Half Canadian lobster with grilled asparagus is very very tasty😀
Thank you.
Food was ok for me. But they have a good view of the ships passing by.
Really great selection of food and wine. Fish dishes were amazing! Lovely and very friendly service. Cosy. Marvelous views onto harbour.
We ate outside with the amazing view in quite a large party. Service was impeccable and every course was well paced and delicious. Appetizers and desserts both evoked discussion about which we liked the most. The seafood was not a disappointment either. Overall a very enjoyable restaurant.
Amazing! So delious. Authentic tastes, high quality ingredients, perfect cooking, surprising "mixabilities". Perfect service.
Waw. Thank you so much.
We did not enjoy Au Quai/Am Kai at all. In fact its one of our worst experiences of “fine dining”.
Lets start with the food. We took the tasting menu which consisted of 5 dishes:
2 starters, 2 mains and a dessert.
The starters (“amuse gueule” and the yellowfin tuna) were not bad. In fact we later dound out they were the best part of the meal.
From there we got to the bouillabaisse - that dish was way too salty, with a broth that we could not eat. 5 pieces of fish (one of each kind) and thats it. We left it as is.
The other starter was the cod. While the cod was presented nicely (picture attached) it lacked any taste whatsoever. Tasted quite dull. The jerusalem artichoke creme and fennel were also very salty. We ate it only because we were hungry.
The dessert was a chocolate fondant. Not different to the one you would get in the local italian restaurant. Average by all means.
From here we go to the service:
- Not taking plates after theyre finished and bringing in new plates.
- Water pitcher that was left empty and on the table for 30 minutes before someone took it.
- Waiters unorganized, we got the desserts menu despite us ordering a tasting menu.
- Napkin that was taken from my wife (maybe it was dirty?) and not returned - so she used mine for the rest of the bill.
- 10 minutes to wait for the bill after sitting in the restaurant for 3 hours (theres a long waiting time between the dishes).
And to top it all of, I have never ever been in a restaurant that charges €8 for water and its not even bottled! Came out of a “beer tap” into a pitcher. Filtered water? Not sure.
The only bright side of the night was the bartender, the only person in the team that identified thing’s proactively and made it a little less terrible experience.
Paying €200 for the food and service is not justifiable. You ruined my wifes birthday. Dishes that are presented nicely is not enough, they need to taste good as well.
Will not return!
