"So we decided to do something special and go out to eat. We were going to continue our Michelin tour of Stuttgart, but based in part of availability and reviews, we chose Zur Weinsteige. As usual I 'm a bit skeptical of reviews, so we rolled...the dice. it 's always an adventure when a restaurant is conjoined with a hotel. You never know what to expect. The decor was nice and not over the top and we were seated promptly upon arrival which is always a good start. We started the evening off with an aperitif; Armanac and a couple of flutes of champagne. We had already decided to try the house menu, Zur Weinsteige . After ordering, we received the obligatory bread, butter, salt and olive oil assortment. The norm, but welcome. A moderate wait later, the first of the courses arrived: A trio of Goose Liver. I love a good liver, but the liver pate was the best. It was seasoned very nicely and creamy. The roasted nuts dusting was a little off putting as it didn 't add anything to the dish in my opinion. I ordered for the second dish, Halibut. This was nice as the fish was cooked nicely and the smoked risotto with snap peas was creamy and flavorful and seasoned well. My wife ordered the Mussels in saffron white sauce. This was mediocre as it was under seasoned and it was not the best use of saffron as it was used very sparingly. You were neither embraced from the aroma nor the bright yellow hue that one would expect when cooking with saffron. The part of the meal that we both truly enjoyed. The venison and venison ragout. Absolutely fantastic. Tender, moist and seasoned very nicely. I wished you could have seconds. The walnut-goat cheese polenta was nice as it added a rustic woodsy feel to accompany the venison. Desert was nice, but nothing really to write home about. As always, dessert should be the crown jewel to end the evening, but alas it wasn 't. Not to say the pears three ways was not good, but it wasn 't an eye popping moment of the meal. Not to forget that with each course there was a wine pairing. Unfortunately the white wines were too cold and needed time to warm up slightly and blossom before you could appreciate them. Also, the wines were very young and had weak legs, so they didn 't hold up to the food as expected. To wrap things up. A little about the staff. I will say the staff was very attentive but could have used a bit more knowledge of the dishes being served. Their knowledge level was good and honestly nothing to complain about, but more depth and enthusiasm would have been nice. All in all it wasn 't a bad dining experience, but we 've had better for less especially based on some of the reviews. Will we go there again. 50/50. I think next month, our Michelin tour will resume."
