Reviews
Nice Restaurant in the basement, the quality of the food and service was very good
A truly remarkable night. We went out for our anniversary in a city I'd never visited before. I looked at the menu, I looked at the reviews, I checked recent pictures on Google Places and I feel like I made the second best decision in my life - next to asking my partner to be with me for the rest of our lives. Austernbank is a truly special place. A cove of comfort food and service that you thought you could only dream of. While the meals were priced a bit higher than what we would usually set our budgets to - it was worth every single Euro. The food was well portioned, the drinks were delicious and again, we cannot compliment the staff highly enough. We were greeted at the door immediately and our coats taken, tagged and brought to our table in the north east corner. The lighting was lush and almost dreamlike as we descended into the main floor. After being waited on within minutes, our order was taken swiftly and entrees arrived hastily. We should add that our timing was very early in the evening. We had learnt during our travels places such as Berlin, Paris and Prague do cater to international tourists, however, some places don't start dinner until much later in the evening. We arrived just shortly before 6pm but there were about a dozen or so people in the restaurant already. The music was lush and the waiters were immediate and busy, but never in a rush - we appreciated that atmosphere and especially more-so when our mains arrived. The waiter also took our photo with my partner's phone and did a great job. Shortly before we finished our desserts, a family arrived just two tables up and we saw them get just the same kind, quick and attentive service. It felt magical and we do hope we can return one day. We cannot thank you enough for a spectacular meal, an amazing anniversary and an evening to remember.
Oysters were fresh and served in what is possibly the cutest Octopus bowl i’ve seen yet. Harissa shrimp were wonderful, and the drinks were also top notch. Our server Armando made the evening feel special yet lowkey. Really nice experience overall 🫶🏼
