We had my son's birthday breakfast here while on vacation. I thought "what a better breakfast than…read moreon top of the alps?" No reservations so we showed right at 9:15. They weren't ready so we headed to the very top on the gondola and then back down to seegrube. At that point they were ready to seat. Now, I had no idea what we were getting us into - so when I found out is was price fixed with champagne I was waiting to get hit with a big bill. Only €62 for all 4 of us! We got champagne, orange juice, coffee, assorted meats and cheeses (including salmon), fruit, yogurt, granola, breads, pastries, and eggs scrambled or soft boiled. It was THE BEST breakfast of the trip, to the point that I'll overlook them not being ready at opening and still give them 5 stars :). Mountains and delicious food? Perfect.

Horrible service, ok food!…read more Let me state at the beginning that the views from this place are just amazing! However that doesn't discount the poor service we got. We were here today for lunch and they only have two servers for the entire place, absolutely understaffed, they probably need 3-4 servers, given how popular this place is. You can make up for understaffing by being attentive, but in our case, the service was just terrible. Our soup order came after 15-20 mins, which is somewhat late, but tolerable. However, they really screwed up our lunch order, with no food delivered after waiting 40 minutes! And finally they apologized that the order wasn't placed! We ended up waiting additional 15 mins for our entree. In future, I would only stick to placing appetizer orders and drinks here and recommend others do the same; unless you are fine with waiting inordinate amount of time for receiving your order.

Be warned, there are quite a number of stairs to climb and no elevator, but it is not too onerous, and if you have a Fitbit, it will help your stair count considerably! My wife, two daughters (8 and 10), handled the stairs without a problem. When we arrived at the top, we found very nice views of the city and met a number of nice people willing to take pictures of us. It is a bit cramped up at the top, so people need to be friendly and patient with one another. The entire visit does not take very long, so it is a nice thing to do just to get one's bearing on the town and its surroundings. Definitely worth doing.
