"I stopped in here for a much desired dinner after a long day on the road. I was hoping to find something traditional, and found a matron who received me equally well in German and English. She was truly pleasant, and attentive. It was clear she ran the front end of the restaurant. I went with a regional Swabian dish, the maltauschen. Every restaurant does their own version of this Germanic ravioli, so you can never count on getting the same one twice. In this case, it was pork mixed in with cheese and herbs, stuffed inside the ravioli. The cheese dominated the flavor palate, while the herbs added some note of savoriness, but the pork was rather lost, overall. So while I have had better maltauschen, I cannot complain, so as to suggest it as unworthy of ordering. This place was the first location I'd tried Furstenburg beers, which are entirely worth the while. Their standard Hefeweizen is perfectly clean and crisp, more like a Kolsch than a typically earthen Hefe. I have also had their Dunkelweize, which I would describe as equally smooth on the finish, though with more noticeable linger on the front end. The Hefe was a grand compliment to the maltauschen, and came recommended by the matron. While the food was certainly acceptable, and you can find better, you cannot find better people to serve it to you, and if you are mainly interested in warm savory comfort food, this is a great place to find it. For the extra effort in hospitality, I give them full credit, and if I am back in town, I will be back to the Wirtshaus, which feels like a mix of Cheers and neighborly local haunt, in which any tourist will find himself at home over a hot dish and a memorable beer."
