Everything here seemed magical...it was so surreal. For a…read moremoment, I forgot where I was and thought I had been transported to a storybook and I was the princess and this was the magic kingdom of elegant sushi prepared just for me! (Heart eyes emoji here) I never thought that sushi could be so elegant. I was always under the impression of a cold cut, quick sharp knife through the veggies and fish type of sushi being everywhere type of deal. This was a whole new level. Not just as in the fact that there were many levels of outdoor seating to suit everyone's seating preferences (haha), but I mean a new level of taste enhancement reached. The sushi was absolutely phenomenal and every bite was a flavor exploration. I adored the Hello Kitty sushi (see pictures). It was my favorite! It has been a long time since I have had the service I had here at DOTS the other night. There are too many waiters at higher scale restaurants that either too serious, come around too often, or even both, which can make me feel a bit uncomfortable. Neither of those two factors (two that I always always consider at these types of restaurants) were even close to the truth that night. The waiters were light on their feet, as courteous as knights in a fairytale (yes, I was under the impression that they would be the knights in that fairtytale sushi world), and were very light-hearted and comical. They made certain that we truly were guests there and that our experience was special. Overrall, the place gave off a lovely, warm and inviting glow. I went at night when all of the candles were lit, creating the so-called fairytale effect I mentioned several times, that I still cannot get over. It made me feel at peace and at ease, and most of all, ready to slowly indulge in each individual decadent bite. Places like this that set a slow pace to eating really make me one happy camper (or should I say princess, hehe). They remind me of how food is a gift and a joy to experience! When you are able to slow down to enjoy each individual bite, then you know that you've come to the right place.

Oh, it's almost five stars, a very solid 4.5. Damn I love this place. You hear experimental sushi…read moreand you don't know what to think, right? Don't think twice, your taste buds will thank you later. Combination's that you could have never imagined work (hence the 'experimental' part) become an experience. Duck maki, oh yeah. Geisha lips, delicious. Don't let the funny names or the extensive list fool you, this is THE place for amazing sushi in Wien. The sushi bomb mixture is phenomenal. A really great bar selection as well, had a mango bellini last week that was just about as fresh as can be. This is a white tablecloth place that appears to cater to the forward momentum crowd of Wien. A recent reservation for a Friday night needed to be placed the Monday before. As 'fancy' as it is, still was comfortable in nice jeans and a sweater and seemed to 'blend' into the clientele. The restaurant itself is located in what appears to be a former celler, the decor is great, in one of the back rooms you feel like you're in an old tavern, rustic exposed bricks and nice touches. It's both a fun restaurant for friends and a perfect date night place. In fact, I'd better get our 2/14 reservations quickly!

We were looking for an authentic, non-touristy Heuriger experience and certainly had it here. The…read moreowners were friendly and everything from the wine to the food to the setting was obviously a labor of love. The food was served Heuriger-buffet style, where you select what you'd like and then pay by weight (of the food, not yourself ;-). Our bill, for two people with food, three glasses of wine and a large mineral water came to a bit over 40 Euro. You can also buy bottles of wine, jelly from the same grapes and home-made schnapps to take with you.

From the outside, hubby and I thought - wow, looks charming, quaint, lets try it. Walked into what can only be described as a quasi-modern bar with a non smoking section off to the side. Ok, we were committed, plus we were hungry and it is freezing out these days. Not what we expected, but we're willing to try anything once. Very friendly and prompt service, that's what bumped it in my mind from probably 2.5 stars to three. Hubby ordered a beer from the tap (they only have Ottakringer on tap), after a confusing moment where the woman asked if he wanted a small (0,2) or a large (0,5) he noted that per the menu's offerings, he wanted a medium (0,3). Ok, she got it (or so we thought until the 0,5 came out...) As an aside, while not surprising for here, we were charged for the 0,5 liter vice what we ordered, but that's par for the course. This is really a bar, not a restaurant. The sum total of what they have to eat is less then 10 items, the first several consisted of sandwiches, ham and toast, a prosciutto plate that promises huge capers, mozzarella and tomato salad, several varieties of gulasch and a couple of different wursts. If it had been warmer I would have gone back outside to look at their specials board, but I was not brave enough and those offerings were neither in the memory of the waitress nor anywhere to be found. Plus the waitress was wearing a tank top (again, see weather report above) and I wasn't going to ask her to go back out. So I settled on a wurst. Hubby ordered the gulasch soup. The wurst was advertised as spicy. It wasn't. It was a good sausage, but nothing to write home about. Menu said it came with a roll, which it did, though we laughed later that we were charged for extra rolls that we hadn't ordered. The wurst came typical Austrian style, descent sized links, plate had some horseradish and a side of mustard. By a side of mustard I mean a small package of mustard that looks like something you'd get at the state fair, but I digress. Hubby said the gulasch was ok. So, would I go back? Meh, probably not - there are a lot of other places in the vicinity that look a lot more promising. That said, in the summer when they open their patio, it's a great location and the friendly service is an anomaly. A welcome one at that. The woman even said to us, "come back and visit us again." I haven't heard that since I got here. So I'd probably drop by, but not for food. If you're of the gluten variety though, they appeared to have a well stocked dessert selection. Prices were reasonable, 0,5 liters of beer were 3,50 EUROS, the wurst was 4,30 and the gulasch suppe was 4,80. And in case you're wondering, the rolls were ,90.
