Borwin - Hafenrestaurant — Restaurant in Rostock

Top-notch food, great choice of dishes... for fish lovers, mind! Nice, though somewhat compact, variety of meat or vegetarian courses, desserts and starters. But something for every palate to choose from, proper portion size, both nicely composed and arranged on the plate.

Service was on par, attentive, friendly and discrete. Wine choice especially of the white wines was a surprise with some extraordinarily high quality German wines, although somewhat lacking on the red side. A Pinot Noir or Blaufränkisch would probably habe been a nice addition.

Location and view are appealing, especially from the sea side. The interior is plush, comfy with ample space and inviting, although it could do with a little makeover here and there. The charme and athmosphere of welcome is however not diminished the slightest.

Overall a true gem and long-standing recommendation, even more so for fish coinesseurs. The reviewer had oysters gratinée, halibut fillet and cinnamon gelato with hot plums, accompanied by the breathtaking 2018 Wegeler GG...

Delicious meals all around. The restaurant accommodated our party of 10 with ease and service was prompt and on point. Everyone enjoyed their meals.

A few comments: *fish soup was very good and a much larger portion than expected *baked oysters were DELICIOUS! A must-have if you love oysters *goat cheese appetizer dish was super *the main fish dishes and the schnitzel were also DELICIOUS *you can request a dish made a certain way with specific sauces to your liking, and you can add vegetables like asparagus to your meal

During busy times, you’ll need a reservation. We made a reservation a week before but somehow it got lost? Luckily, we went when it wasn’t crowded so they were able to accommodate our party immediately.

I definitely recommend this restaurant if you love seafood, and there are enough appetizers and non-seafood dishes for those not into fish. The only comment I have is to perhaps put 1-2 delicious non-pasta veggie/vegan dishes in there for those who want to join a group for a...

It has been a while but I really have to write this. The food was good, actually. And it has a nice location, however, I wonder the old (middle aged?) waitress is definitely xenophobic. She was super impatient and literally was ignoring me and my friend all the time. We do speak German and we spoke German to her, we even tipped, maybe she said danke in the end when we paid or something, I cannot really remember, that was the only courtesy and I'm pretty sure she didn't even put on a fake smile. But seriously, it was too obvious, if she was so rude to all customers, I'd see her as a typical grumpy German waitress. But she was super nice to others and asking around, introducing food, when literally ignoring us and trying to run away. Another young waitress was much better. Otherwise I'd even give the restaurant one star (sadly zero is...
