My wife and I ate here whilst staying at the hotel. The restaurant was decorated, very tastefully, in an upmarket conservative style, the tables well spaced, most with a great view of the Binnenalster. The service was excellent, but discreet, with the waiters dressed, very traditionally, in white jackets and white gloves. All the serving, and uplifting, was choreographed with... More

At first the location, we had the chance to get a table in front of the restaurant with a beautiful view on the Alster. The decoration, barock style, not quite modern. The service, as already written, is done by quite young people but in a very professional way. Was ok for us but may disturb some older or snob guests.... More

Outstanding food and service. Classic service style and cuisine that proudly features local and seasonal products. A multi-course extravaganza, served over several leisurely hours. Top notch service from all and great recommendations from the Sommelier. We ahve dined in plenty of "starred / hatted" restaurants, but the Haerlin delivers an outstanding product. Where else would you see a Martini cocktail... More

Recently dined there for our anniversary. Was presented with the choice of two fixed menus upon arrival, prices clearly indicated - so far so good. A waiter then came and explained his recommendation of wines. At no point did we see a winelist, and therefore had no idea what the price levels were. Later we were offered a selection of... More

The food was extremely good, for certain. But since the day I was there I have had food almost as good in Hamburg at half the price. I was with my family and we were there until 11:15 pm, having arrived at 6:30pm. Let's just say that we weren't eating all that time. For much of those 5 hours, we... More
