A very sophisticated restaurant with a quiet atmosphere, excellent service and fabulous food.
A truly outstanding restaurant. The food and service were simply perfect.
For our Christmas party, we reserved a table at the harbor restaurant.
From the warm welcome to the outstanding service from the staff, who entertained us with charm and expertise throughout the evening, everything was perfect.
Exquisite dishes, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere.
We had a fantastic meal!
Starting with a selection of delicious appetizers and daily specials, through classic Wiener Schnitzel, beef fillet, and various truffle creations—right up to a sweet finish with Kaiserschmarren or crème brûlée.
Everything was truly delicious, very authentic, and presented with great attention to detail.
The Dover sole was a special surprise and is highly recommended!
The team was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always there at the right time without being intrusive.
Especially in today's world, we truly appreciate this kind of service.
Finding staff who are so passionate about the restaurant business—every day, including holidays—is certainly not easy.
In that spirit:

We'd love to come back!

Had lunch with you today – great service with lots of humor and expertise, the food was fantastic. Thank you for the wonderful time. Highly recommended.

- Food and more: All the dishes we ordered were authentic, reimagined, and presented in a fresh way. Not your average fare, but two levels above the rest.
- Service: Highly trained and qualified. The service was very attentive, and the welcome was exceptionally positive.
- Prices: Prices are on the higher end, but considering the quality, ambiance, and service, they are the bare minimum.
- Other: We recommend the set menus and making a reservation in advance.

One of the best restaurants in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. I've rarely eaten such high quality. The creative chef makes every taste bud explode. Absolutely amazing. TIP... My tuna sashimi totally blew me away.
The restaurant offers both a pleasant atmosphere and excellent food. The dishes were superbly prepared and delicious.
The chef clearly knows his craft, and the service was very friendly and attentive.
We'll gladly return.

The food was excellent, but unfortunately we weren't treated very kindly. We felt like we were bothering them. A shame about the delicious food.
Excellent food, overachieving my expectations. Had the Tempura to start with, then schnitzel, gnocchi and beef filet for the family. All dishes were well cooked, sizable and looked great. Well done!
Wow, what a nice hotel/restaurant! Very delicious food and kind employees! The view over the harbour makes it even nicer. Prices are more than fair!
Visit for a big birthday, highly recommended from start to finish! The food was perfect (three different dishes, two of which were vegetarian; three different desserts; all drinks were top quality). Every highest rating is appropriate here. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and recommend this great place to anyone who enjoys good gastronomy. Sanitary area exemplary!
Here you can have an excellent meal in a beautiful ambience right on the harbor with the best service. Children and dogs welcome.
Tip: it's always busy, so it's always better to reserve a seat.

We went to the harbor restaurant for Easter brunch and were thrilled. There was a great selection of food and great service! The platters were beautifully presented and there was really something for every taste. A big compliment also to the entire service staff. Everyone was very nice and attentive. We'd love to come back!
A really great restaurant that I have never experienced before on Rügen. Food top. Service top. Our new favorite restaurant.✨
We had a wonderful evening with extremely delicious dishes. The service was also perfect.
Looking forward to the next time!

Absolutely heavenly!!
From the starter to the dessert it was a pleasure for us as vegetarians. We raved about this great meal the whole drive home.

Very cozy, service very nice and relaxed, interesting dishes outside the menu, “Skrei with mashed potatoes on crustacean foam
Great ambience. Tastefully decorated. The food? Plaice fried to perfection. Fried potatoes are great, not too greasy and nice and crispy. Personal tip: Störtebeker Schwarzbie from the barrel! Yummy!
Almost a week ago we were guests in the harbor restaurant in the evening. We more than enjoyed the visit. From the friendly lady on the phone when making the reservation, to the welcome after entering the restaurant, the service, the food, to the farewell. I would particularly like to highlight the food. It's been a long time since I've eaten as well in Germany as I did that evening. The fish soup was so delicious that I would have liked to take some with me. We'll definitely come back. Thank you, especially in the kitchen.
Without further ado, 10 out of 10 points. child-friendly and the food was very, very good...
The food was very, very tasty
Service: the waitress was very nice and friendly.
Ambiance: Stylishly furnished, modern but cozy.
I can 100% recommend.

We were there with 4 people on January 26th. for dinner there. The food and service are excellent. The restaurant is highly recommended.
The restaurant is already great. Fine dining. Prices are okay for the quality of the food. Staff super friendly. It makes sense to reserve in advance as it is very busy.
Exceptional food and sweetest waiter ever.
First of all i would admit, that this man ca 50 years old, who was a waiter for our table, had really good fragrances and had very good looking (i mean clothes and haircut) bravo👌🏻 not that oft you can meet a waiter who cares abt outlooking so good👏🏻
And of course food. Well all you can say, i would eat there every day! Literally! Chef - awesome job!
I am vegetarian so hat also smth to eat but would be happy to see more vegetarian /vegan options for a next meeting ☺️ Steinpilzen cremesuppe would be really priceless ❤️
And fish that my bf ordered was also 5 stars. Melody of taste 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We had a company outing and were there for dinner. Great atmosphere, very friendly and personable staff and the food was really great.
Very tasty food and very nice service. We also really liked the modern furnishings. Everything wonderful.
Today the two of us spontaneously went to the harbor restaurant for dinner as we are in Lauterbach for New Year's Eve. It was perfect as always. The food is truly star cuisine! Thank you!
I haven't eaten so well in a long time! We couldn't even decide what to eat! So reserve a table for Saturday! My favorite pasta was also lactose-free! What a great Christmas!
Thank you very much. The service and ambience was great too!

We had a super good meal. I would like to highlight the sensational beef tartare. We'll definitely be back.
Full marks!!!
Chic atmosphere after the renovation.
Very comfortable. The menu and daily specials are not just “standard”.
Everything tasted really great!
We had Wiener Schnitzel and plaice as well as beef roulade.
The homemade red cabbage was really tasty!
And the ‘rum ice cream’ was also great.
We'll definitely be back soon🫡👍

My wife and I were able to spend 10 nights in the harbor hotel in September and also dined four times in the hotel's own restaurant.
Every evening was a complete success. Both the food and the service couldn't have been better. The atmosphere is simply harmonious, modern and cozy.
The breakfast buffet was also so rich and varied that it didn't get boring after 10 days. Everything has really been thought of. I could write so much more, but it's best to see for yourself. Will definitely be coming back! 🙂

We went here for dinner on the last day of our short vacation. The three of us hadn't eaten as well as we had that evening in a long time. The menu offers something for every taste, we were thrilled. What was particularly noteworthy was the friendly service! We'll come back when we're back in Lauterbach.
The food and service is great and the ambience is also very good.
You can recommend it with a clear conscience.

Five visits, five times we went home with a smile. We really liked the warm atmosphere in the restaurant on our first visit. A very relaxed, always attentive service and, to top it off, the food. Regardless of whether it was Lauterbach panfish, salmon, zander or the fish recommendations next to the main menu, all the fish were fried to perfection and very tasty, and the plates were great to look at. The beef from the daily recommendation, highly recommended both as a medallion and as fillet tips, with a sauce to lick off the plate. And then dessert. We tried everything in just under a week (except the cheese plate) and are of the opinion that no matter what you choose, you can't go wrong. Conclusion: An absolute recommendation, make sure to make a reservation, especially on the weekend.
We were warmly welcomed and had a very nice table outside. In addition to the menu there were 3 extra daily specials. What we thought was great is that the prices were mentioned. We had the cauliflower soup, the turnips with goat cheese, plaice and, absolutely perfect for me, the cod with risotto and chorizo and asparagus. For dessert, a crème brulee with fresh berries. A great evening from starter to dessert. The service is very nice and keeps an overview well, even though the restaurant was packed. We would recommend a reservation. We'll stop by again before we leave.PS: great toilets
Addendum
We were also very satisfied on our second visit. The fish soup is super delicious. Also the lamb and the turbot from the daily menu. There were certain plate-licking moments 🙂 The perfect ending was the chocolate dessert. Thank you for the delicious evenings

Dear Sascha, many thanks to you and your great team in the kitchen and service. We are thrilled with the selection, freshness and quality of the dishes we were able to enjoy. The fish menu was to die for, and the matching Pinot Gris was perfect. And a note about the ambience: as a small woman, I could sit comfortably and relaxed in the beautiful armchairs on the covered terrace. This makes you want to linger a little longer. It's a must to come back to enjoy more of the menu's delicacies. Thanks also for the tour of the hotel. You have really created something very beautiful. You can feel very comfortable here!
Simply amazing, this restaurant is exceptionally great. You can sit both outside and inside in a very nice and stylish atmosphere. Even in hot temperatures it is a pleasant place. The food is outstanding, there's a certain twist everywhere, far from run-of-the-mill, and modernly prepared. Not one thing that didn't taste wonderful. The service is quick and extremely friendly. An absolute recommendation – you should definitely go here!
The food is a joy, the service well taken care off. Definitely worth a visit when you are in the neighbourhood.
