Let me start with: We changed dinner plans to return after our first encounter. They don't have Michelin stars, but were listed in the Guide Michelin. They definitely get five Manfred stars. Noteworthy appetizers: Fantastic curry soup dim sum combo and Tunatataki Mains: Wolfsbarsch (sea bass); large one as day special for two, whole fish, prepared into two servings or a la carte a filet of a smaller fish. We also had a half duck special with regional red cabbage. Heavenly! Third: French cheese platter of unpasteurized soft cheeses. Drinks: The open wines are fantastic. I liked the Grauburgunder (Pinot Grigio) the most. Service: Pedro was outstanding (in any language).

The eggs were world class, the baked goods and fruit selection fantastic and the service was out of this world. Not just impressive for Europe. Impressive for Southeast Asia or America where you expect friendly and efficient service. I'm hoping my travels bring me back to Heidelberg soon so that I can finally have a full dinner at Romer.

Such creative fresh conceptions of German food! Not the heavy, sauce-laden, starchy German food one finds commonly. The restaurant seems to have an Alice Waters vibe using local produce and herbs. We had sea bass cooked in a light saffron sauce, pasta with local vegetables, an asparagus salad in a soft balsamic vinaigrette, and finished with a warm brownie situation and a panna cotta experience. As an added bonus, they really know wine and are happy to guide those uninitiated into Pfaltz wine culture. We had a nice Pinot Blanc, know as Weisser Burgunder. The restaurant is crisp and clean but not antiseptic. It's lovely. I recommend it.

The stuffed cabbage in broth was super hot with a tangy but not too tangy broth that was delicious. The fried potatoes were perfectly cooked with slices that were crispy outside, but not inside and seasoned just right. The salad was fresh too. I also shared some of my wife's grilled sausages that were very nice. I was getting tired of boiled food. The menu said she ordered red sauerkraut. There was a warm type of sauerkraut that was also wonderful. The host couple were very friendly and though we and everyone sat outside (perfect August weather for anywhere), the inside is totally charming.

Walking in felt like stepping back in time. I doubt much has changed about this place in decades, and that's entirely a compliment. We were seated near a window and the ambiance was everything you'd want, cozy, warm, and genuinely inviting. I loved the feel of it. Our server was very kind. Her English was limited, but she was gracious and patient as I attempted to speak German, and was generous enough to tell me I did well. It added to the charm of the whole experience. Now, the food. The potatoes that came with the schnitzel were the best German potatoes I've ever had. The schnitzel itself was delicious, exactly what you'd hope for. The cheese spaetzle was a highlight as well, rich and satisfying. Plan on sharing it. The one miss was the pizza my sister-in-law ordered, which was fine but felt out of place. Stick to the German classics and you won't be disappointed. Would love to return if I ever make it back to Heidelberg.

Our dinner was really good. We did have reservations. We even enjoyed some non-alcoholic beer. We had apple strudel for dessert, which was also really good. We were staying at the hotel, so just had to go upstairs after dinner. For the hotel - the only difficulty was the check in. We weren't sure where to go to check in. So we ended up asking the wait staff. We walked through the restaurant with our luggage to the the check in desk. Our room was comfortable and homey. The door required an old fashioned key to open. You can't beat the location being right by the old bridge.

After our usual walking tour and some window shopping we arrived at the recommended place and got a table. Ms T was not hungry and just wanted a pretzel. I wanted some kind of wurst and found one item that satisfied both; three weißwurst served with a soft pretzel. I wanted something with it and ordered creamy green beans. This was another simple but wonderful meal. I peeled the sausage as we were taught in Münich and ate them with the supplied mustard. The green beans are probably the best I have eaten. They were in a light white sauce seasoned with tiny cubes of ham, bohnenkraut (summer savory) and black pepper. They were absolutely delicious. I make something similar at home with cream instead of the white sauce, but unless I grow my own, I cannot get the high quality, fresh, slender beans that they have. Next time I will copy this version as well as possible. We each drank 0.5L of their house Pilsner which was excellent. Again, we had very friendly and helpful service in a very nice local place. It was another memorable meal on-shore in Germany.
