"Before writing I checked my notes with my wife. She reminded me that our dinner at the Wirtshaus was the best meal we had in Germany during our lazy meander from Baden Baden to Lubeck. Why? Our hotel heartily recommended Wirthaus and when we followed their advice we were not disappointed. Start with the setting. It was a lovely balmy summer evening; we were able to sit outside. When we arrived the restaurant was packed with locals. Some had already tucked into dinner, others were having beers and wine, laughing and talking. We had to wait inside until a table was freed and that gave us a chance to talk with Simon the owner. The restaurant site is old but he is the new owner with a new crew and new concepts. He has created a rich selection of Bavarian-Schleswig Holstein cuisine. Using fresh local ingredients, his young kitchen crew turns out remarkable fare. I chose a schweiner ruckensteak with extraordinary crisp fries. My wife chose weiner schnitzel with speck back kartoffelen and gurken salat. We could not believe the delicious giant size portions. As Simon the owner later explained, his clients like to eat. We protested; we also cleaned our plates. His open wine list is attractive and since I know little about German wines he invited me to taste before ordering. We started with a blaufrankish St. Laurent Trocken, followed by an excellent grauburgunder. Service was exceptional: present but discreet, we had time to savour and enjoy. Before we left we asked Simon where he wanted to take his restaurant and how he wants to be seen in the community. A big man with an easy smile, he is committed to exceptional quality and service. When the kitchen closes down for the night he makes sure that quality left overs go to a municipal service that feeds the less fortunate. He nodded, "We must help each other." Some day we will return to Lubeck with our family and our grandchildren and we will have dinner at Simon's and introduce them to an exceptional man so we can enjoy a remarkable meal. Wirthaus is also huge value for money. Please note this review does not do Simon's restaurant justice. They are better, much better, than what I have tried to share. Whitebeard83"
