Rheinterrassen is the ideal location for a sunny Saturday. We got ourselves a pint of Radler and…read moresat down on the beach chairs with our feet in the sand. It probably had one of the best views of the city, facing the Dom and the Hohenzollernbrücke. The music is very typically 'summer bar loungy', which suits the occasion. Prices are not cheap, but you don't have to pay an entrance fee, so that kind of compensates. If you want to enjoy some shade, you can sit at the tables with parasols. This was the perfect afternoon relax spot after walking through the entire city center.

My wife and I were married at the Rheinterrassen in July 2016. From beginning of the initial…read morecontact through the wedding day reception, our experience dealing with the venue was wonderful. I am not the sort to sing praises of many places, but Rheinterrassen is a 5-star wedding venue in Köln! Positives The people we were in contact with were wonderful!!! We were treated so well. We were not upsold. They told us what they offered, listened to our requests, provided honest feedback based on their experience, and informed us of the minimum charge based number of guests. We had a contact person (Frau Balz) who answered all our calls including questions up until wedding day. All questions, no matter how minor, were addressed with urgency and in a timely fashion. Food was wonderful. I feared the food on wedding day wouldn't be as good or plentiful as when we had our tasting but that was not an issue. In fact, during the tasting, there was a dish I thought was a bit salty so I made a comment to the chef. I was pleased to taste that issues was addressed on wedding day. The view across the Rhine River into Köln (highlighted by the Dom) is as good as it gets in the city Negatives I speak English but the preferred language is German. Yay for me; too bad for my German wife who did most of the coordinating. Washrooms are downstairs (away from reception area) and they are public toilets for use by the entire restaurant. Honestly, not a big deal but just an FYI. Of all the people we dealt with, there was only one person who was somewhat cranky. She was a bartender who started later on the evening of the wedding. We kept the party going until past 4am so I can understand her not being so chatty...

Ein ganz großes Dankeschön an Herrn Osman und seinem tollen Team…read more Wir waren für eine geschäftliche Abendveranstaltung mit ca. 100 Gästen im Osman 30. Das Serviceteam ist auf alle unsere Wünsche bezüglich Aufbau, Catering, Technik etc. eingegangen und war sehr gut vorbereitet. Zu Beginn der Veranstaltung, hat sich Herr Osman persönlich vorgestellt und sich rückversichert, dass alles zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit ist. Neben der fantastischen Aussicht über Köln war das Essen ein besonderes Highlight im Osman 30. Wir haben die vielfältigen kulinarischen Optionen in dem einladenden Ambiente sehr genossen. Im Osmann gibt es ein qualitatives hochwertiges Angebot, sowohl für Vegetarier als auch für Fleischesser. Insgesamt ist das Osman 30 als Eventlocation und Restaurants sehr empfehlenswert. Wir werden sicher wieder kommen.

I was invited to a small birthday dinner here in osman 30, on the 30th floor of the cologne tower…read morelast September. If no one knows what the cologne tower is, it's basically a tall sky scraper in the city of cologne and on the 30th floor is the restaurant with panoramic views over every angle of cologne and a direct view of the cologne Dom. There is an outside terrace where you can chill and take in the sights and the 30th floor is split into a restaurant, wine bar and lounge. The restaurant interior is very contemporary, really liked it. It was very bright, trendy and chic. You have huge windows over looking the city and very breath taking, taking in the night sky and lights. Food is ok, not breath taking but for the quality you get I think its expensive, I found the food very bland with really no taste and waiting for the main course takes its time, a bit too long really and service does lack. When ordering your food they don't really write down how you want you meat cooked. If your use to high quality then you will be disappointed. But the restaurant is not really known for its food but more for the views. It is something different but well worth the visit, a cheaper alternative would be to have a cocktail / drink on the terrace and enjoy the views.

Pros: great location, ambiance, trees and birds, the lake…read more Cons: undercooked food, poor designed meals with fancy names, one of two bottles of wine was bad and the waiter/sommelier broke the rotten cork in the bottle and proclaimed the wine to , most likely, be 'fine'... The cod and accompanying risotto were undercooked. The Tuna steak not pink but raw in the center, by 2 centimeters . The liver plate lacked traditional apple sauce, none in the kitchen either and cranberries were recommended...( I couldn't finish the liver and neither could two of my other guests). Under-experienced cooks, too eager young waitstaff. I won't be back for a dining experience, ever.
