Decent food, horrible service
The COX restaurant is in a very nice and central IN area (St Georg) in Hamburg.

Excellent, but ...
My husband and I discovered Cox approx. a year ago and were ecstatic to find such an exceptional kitchen in Hamburg! The chef is creative and original and uses outstanding products in everything he does. Presentation is top notch! Refined, elegant BUT unpretentious! Bravo! HOWEVER, our last dining experience was unfortunately disappointing. The service was absolutely horrendous! The top of the top was when the waitress stuck her index finger into our bottle of wine (I'm guessing to clear out any cork pieces that remained?) before serving. Not to mention the fingers in our plates when serving, the "clanging" of the bottle against the lip of our wine glasses as she poured, the dribbling of wine down the glasses and on the tablecloth, or the reaching across the table between us. At a budget restaurant, I wouldn't have noticed, but the cuisine and, frankly, prices deem better service. They need to train their personnel better!!!!But, the most disappointing on this occasion was the food. The starters were up to the usual outstanding level! (I would recommend and/all on the menu). However, my husband's rabbit and my lamb were both average in quality and preparation (my lamb was a tough as shoe leather). We were so disappointed we didn't bother with dessert (though it has, in the past, been the best of the best). The GOOD NEWS is that a couple of weeks ago, friends told us that they met the chef of Cox's at a class they were taking on Wednesday nights. Needless to say, we were at Cox's on a Wednesday ... additional good news: as far as I know, the Wednesday night class is finished. So, when you call for reservations, just MAKE SURE THE CHEF IS ON THAT EVENING ... YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
