Relatives took us to Freiberg Gastropub in Madison WI. Parking is hard to find in the neighborhood, but it turns out that a local office has spaces after 6. If you want really good German cuisine, definitely go to Frieberg. We shared 2 appetizers, pork cheeks and the wurst platter. The weiswurst is particularly good, but all 4 of us enjoyed both. Each chose a different entree, and all four were very good. Of the 4, the trout special(Friday night) was great--the fish covered the plate and the potato pancakes side dish was really tasty. The pork shank had great crackling on the skin and was very flavorful. The wait staff is knowledgeable on all the dishes and gave good advice on beer and wine pairings. Service was professional and attentive. The only reason this doesn't rate five stars, in my book, is the noise level. With a full crowd it was hard to carry on a conversation. If management could place some noise-absorbing wall hangings this would earn the next star.
