The food is yummy - north German, the Bier is great, portions are good, the ambiance is very Old World and take all the time you want to eat. The outside seating in the summer is nice. The wait staff speaks mostly German, so there will be some menu pointing. The price you pay is great for the quality of the food. Like most places in Lubeck, they take card, but sometime the EC card readers are flakey if you are in from the US or Canada, so take case has well. Euros. Have a German colleague call ahead and reserve if weekend or summer evening. maybe OK for groups, if someone calls ahead, but I prefer for 2-5 people. They are close to the Dom, off the tourist track, but easy walking distance from the gate or the Rathouse. Really, don't go to the Block House or a chain - you are in a medieval city, eat local!

When I visit a town in Germany I've not visited before, I often try the 'Ratskeller' -- literally,…read morethe cellar of the town hall -- where there's nearly always (always?) a restaurant. For one thing, it's right in the town center, convenient to the town's sightseeing spots. But I've found most towns' Ratskellers are usually pretty good -- maybe not the finest restaurant in town, but definitely not the worst, and always full of local people. The Ratskeller in Luebeck is no exception. Service was welcoming and cordial (for German standards) -- food was typical for the region and quite nice. We had herring in the 'housewife's style' (served chilled with onions & sour cream), and steamed cod. Both were high quality fish, nicely prepared. Just add beer and you've got a great lunch.

I expected more for the price. The service was very attentive, but almost to a fault. Every couple minutes we were interrupted. We sat upstairs, where there are four small tables crowded together in a tiny space. All the tables were occupied and we felt very observed, aware that everyone in the tiny room could hear our every word. It was uncomfortable. Our evening ended on a particularly sour note when we asked for the check and handed over our gift certificate. A few minutes later, we were smugly informed that the gift certificate -- which we received during COVID and did not include an expiration date -- had expired and the restaurant refused to accept it. Ugh. Needless to say, we will not be going back to Schlumachers.
