"The fish restaurant with traditional German fish dishes and harbour style decoration. The soups and the meals we ordered are all delicious. The fish soup is a clear soup with a very good taste. The combination of the fish and the vegetables is in a balance. The Solyanka soup is also good (from my friend's description). The gebratener fisch is also fantastic and beyond my expectation: the veil is crispy and the fish itself is not dry. The other fish dishes are also good. The staff is also very friendly."

"Ate dinner there last night and had a great time. Tiny, but awesome. It seems more like a bar for drinks than food, but the food was very good. We took the young cod, sea lachs, and fish soup, everything was top."
