The Newport Restaurant & Marina - Lübeck — Restaurant in Lübeck

A good location with a nice view of the city across the water with boats moored there. The food was reasonable but not very interesting, with the exception of the steak tartare starter, which was great. The service really let them down, however. We had made a reservation for 8, and arrived at 7.55. We arrived in the restaurant and were ignored by the waiting staff until we approached the bar and announced our arrival. We were told to sit anywhere we like, so we said we would choose a table outside. We then sat at our table for 20 minutes while one server (who was not covering his nose with his mask) repeatedly walked past our table and we desperately tried to get his attention. Another server then came and asked if we had made a reservation, so we explained that yes, and we were waiting for a menu. The menus arrived, we ordered some aperitifs and food, and the drinks and food arrived shortly afterwards. I ordered a beer to go with my starter and that also arrived promptly. Having finished our starters, we waited and waited for the plates to be cleared and our mains to arrive. The same waiter with the mask worn under his nose passed our table several times but seemed oblivious. Eventually I went to the bar again and asked if our food was coming, which prompted them to start cooking it, as just under 10 minutes later it arrived. I ordered another beer to drink with the main course when the food arrived. We had finished the main and were sat, now being eaten alive by insects as it was getting dusky, and the beer never came, so I asked for the cheque. I was then surprised to get a beer for free and drank it, delaying the cheque even further. My wife and I were not dressed for the evening and it was getting very cold, too. The manager came out and apologised for the delay of our main course, which we accepted, but he did not seem to be aware of the other times we bad been forgotten about. Two other tables near us had similar complaints. In total, we had been completely forgotten about three times in one meal, when there were perhaps only 8 tables being used in the whole place: when we arrived, when we wanted our main course and when we ordered a beer. The waiting staff sorely need to be...

Overall beautiful Restaurant with very attentive service at the port. It can be recommend. We had a curry soup with Maracuja and small shrimp's, interesting flavors nice presentation and consistency for my taste i can imagine they used Maracuja pulp that took the acidity but made it kind of sweet. The pasta with shrimps was overall good. The sea-trout was very well cooked the risotto with it tasty but overcooked and the horseradish foam to much and not strong enough, but well presented dish. The plaice with bacon strips was very well in taste and cooking pity the roasted potatoes where a bit without love and tasteless. The octopus dish was good, the octopus itself very well cooked and excellent taste, the salad was also very good, the ajoli pity not the punch you would expect and the slice of roasted bread unnecessary. Dessert the cream brulee with bay leaf ice cream was excellent. Overall a nice evening good drinks a bill of 150 euro for 4 person. The restaurant was full full on a Tuesday! Have that in mind and hope you enjoy as...

Ich habe mich ja auf ein schönes Essen mit der Familie gefreut. Die (The Newport)-Eigenwerbung sagt: ...alles frisch mit Herz & Händchen zubereitet... ...Speiseplan folgt dem jahreszeitlichen Angebot in der Region...

Wir hatten Aperitifs, gebeizten Lachs, Tatar, Wiener Kalbsschnitzel, Wolfsbarsch, Steinpilzravioli, Ossobuco, Crème brûlée, Affogato, div Getränke. 300€ waren am Ende auf dem Bon.

Die Aperitifs waren gut, auch gut bezahlt. 12€ habe ich zuletzt im, in diesen Dingen, anerkannt hochpreisigen Dänemark in teurer Lage bezahlt.

Der gebeizte Lachs an sich wäre gut gewesen, aber warum wurde an einem der beiden Stückchen das tranig riechende und schmeckende Unterhautfett nicht pariert? Kalamansi usw. waren geschmacklos bis leicht bitter, Tatar war okay

Das Stück Wolfsbarsch war gut, das Kokosnuss Chili Risotto dazu war ein Witz, Konsistenz wie Porridge, versehentlich mit Reisflocken hergstellt? Kein Reiskorn zu finden?!

Kalbsschnitzelpanade angedrückt, kein Buttergeschmack. Kartoffelsalat mit Gurken war ebenfalls Pampe. Hat man da neue Kartoffeln zu lange gekocht?, mehlige Kartoffeln genommen? Ich weiß es nicht.

Zum Ossobuco. War so lala. Die Sauce war m.E. nicht durch das Schmoren der Kalbsbeinscheibe entstanden, Steinpilzravioli (auch als Hauptgericht) bestimmt nicht mit (eigenem) Herz & Händchen gemacht. Sofritto zu den Ravioli als Hauptgericht war ebenfalls ein eher fetter, uneleganter Brei.

Mal ganz grundsätzlich, wir haben Mitte Juni wann ist Steinpilzsaison in Norddeutschland evtl. getrocknete genommen?, noch welche gefunden?, Convenience Food? ... jahreszeitliches Angebot in der Region, Herz & Händchen??

ich habe Riesling bestellt, merke, dass mich irgendetwas kitzelt in der Nase. Ich setze die Brille auf guck ins Glas. Ist da ein Spinnengewebe drin und eine kleine Spinne. Da denke ich an Loriot. Kann mal passieren, muß aber nicht. Mein Hinweis an die Dame von Bedienung wird kommentiert mit "Oh ist gut"... nimmt mir das Glas weg. Kommt nicht wieder.

und weiter: Das Besondere an der Crème brûlée ist die Karamellkruste. Wann ist die denn gemacht worden? Wieso ähnelt (optisch und geschmacklich) die Garnitur eigentlich derjenigen auf der Lachsvorspeise? Zum Affogato, der Espresso war gut, aber warum bekomme ich dazu einen in Kunststoff eingeschweissten Keks mit der Aufschrift Juwelier Rüschenbeck? Warum? Immer wieder warum.

Vielleicht haben wir einen schlechten Tag erwischt. Ich werde es irgendwann noch mal probieren, dann nehme ich die Currywurst. Die steht nämlich auch...
