    Das LOFT is an absolute showstopper, and while it's undeniably expensive, the experience, particularly the view, makes it totally worth every single penny, at least in my opinion. From the moment you step into the restaurant, the panoramic views of Vienna are simply breathtaking. Seriously, I could have sat there for hours (in fact I did sit there for at least 2 hours), just soaking in the incredible cityscape. The food was also pretty good, nothing mind blowing, but very enjoyable. It was, as expected, on the pricier side, but again, I had no problem paying the premium price for those views. If you're looking for an unforgettable evening in Vienna and are willing to splurge for an absolutely sensational view, Das LOFT is the place to be. You could also opt to just get a drink on the upper level if you prefer to not spend as much. Highly, highly recommend for anyone visiting!

    (Overall: A+) - Das Loft is a beautiful rooftop eatery in the So/ Hotel with views overlooking the entire Vienna city center that is for sure not worth missing. If you want a window seat table, you must participate in their pre-fixe that would run for 130euros. The food is innovatively exciting, high quality and impressive, particularly among the presentation front. (Dragonfruit Cocktail: A) - If I had to design an Asian-inspired cocktail, this is everything I would want. The dragonfruit provides a beautiful pink sheen to the drink, in addition to a beautiful garnish, which is a smart use of the peel. Lychee is also a good pairing that is light and aromatic. (Salmon Tartare: A+) - I love the intricacies involved to make this first bite truly set the tone for the rest of the menu. For example, that green sauce seems to serve at least three purposes -- one to hold the puff in place, another to add colors similar to vines in a garden with those flowers, and third, to add acidity to the dish to build depth of flavor and pair with the richness of the salmon. Very impressive dish. (Tomato Butter: S) - As a person who does not enjoy butter, this was the best butter I've had to date. Tomato is a genius pairing as it adds some slight sweetness and acidity to help lighten the fattiness. Further, it was beautifully plated almost to the shape of a burrata that truly captures the picture perfect essence of this dish. (Arctic Char: A) - The arctic char is paired with a classic ponzu that adds bold flavors that works. The fried vermicelli, though, is such a smart pairing that helps raise the bar for the dish as it gives height and some impressive presentation, and also soaks up that beautiful dressing. (Pork Belly: S) - I was quite impressed with this dish given the numerous elements that complemented each other harmoniously. The crispy chicharron added some crunchy lightness to the rest of the pork belly, and the kumquat added significant acidity to balance the dish. I was also a big fan of the eggplant puree, which added a creamy earthiness to the dish. (Angus Beef: B) - This is a beautifully plated beef and mash dish with handmade gnocchi which was light and fluffy. Unfortunately, even after sending back the first piece of beef, I found the beef to be rather over that is almost worthy of a job well done (despite still being tender). (Viennese Fruits: C) - This is yet another beautifully plated dish, but unfortunately I found this dessert lacking in substance as it pairs fruit, ice cream, and sweet bread, missing a component with significant backbone to ground the dish. I did enjoy the farm to table flavors that were harmonious though. -- Food: E Presentation: +2 Price: E Atmosphere: +2 Service: +1 Menu: +1 Overall: +6 A+ Insta/Beli/TikTok: @amei_eats

    Overrated as the view is hard to see due to how light it is inside and very few seats if you're just getting a drink. There were also 2 rude girls next to us who were snickering at my friend and I the whole time which didn't help the situation. We didn't try the food but the wine was fine.

    Stunning views! The bar is beautifully styled and positioned so you can see the whole city. Make sure to arrive 20 minutes before sunset. Decent drinks, creative menu, but just like all the other reviews the staff are either too busy or don't care. Don't expect them to come by a second time.

    These views!

    The best place to grab a fancy drink and watch a stunning sunset. The views are breathtaking. I can't speak for the food as I didn't eat here but if I am ever in Vienna again, I would definitely reserve a table for dinner here.

    If you want a rooftop with an amazing view and vibes this is it. You need to have a reservation to sit by the window but since we didn't have one we had to sit by the bar. Drinks were reasonably priced being a chic rooftop bar. Slower service than expected by maybe they were understaffed when we were there.

    Once you make it past the (laughable) velvet ropes, are told by the Hostess that she has "no idea if the tables are full upstairs" and then (by force) makes you check all jackets, you take a lift from the ground floor to the absolutely stunning rooftop space. My group of 5 and I asked for a table at the restaurant but we were told it was too busy (the empty tables said otherwise). He couldn't possibly seat us so he waved us off to the bar and he promised he'd come get us once he could manage finding a table for us. Please place your bets now on if that ever happened. Drinks and snacks at the bar were very nice. Our waitress was cold and but always stopped by when we needed her so that was good. Upon asking for the check, and paying the bill we we were reminded several times that tip was not included. Nor was it when we paid.

    Gorgeous view and a gorgeous interior design. The atmosphere is impeccable, yet the food was still a little bit too salty. Not just with salt, but it seemed like they over seasoned it just by that much. Aside from that, still a great experience and a great time touring around! (Pre-covid)

    Awesome drinks (check out the glass for my Sanger de Toro) and an amazing view of Vienna. Super swank. Definitely recommend for a drink before heading out for dinner. Just be aware the beverages are pricey! Downgraded this from a 4 to a 3. Didn't mention in my initial review but servers seem pretty impressed with themselves. I didn't mind because it is a trendy hip spot - until we waited for more than 20 minutes after our drinks were gone for our check. He never came back after initial round and we finally had to beg the bartender to get it for us.

    I was so taken back by the view! Came here for lunch and us girls had an amazing time! The restaurant overlooks Vienna and we were lucky enough to have good weather to enjoy the view. The food is amazing! And you must over the cheesecake! Staff were amazing! Super friendly and was helpful with all the questions we had about the menu.

    Great dining experience! This restaurant has no doubt the best view of any restaurant in Vienna. Le loft, being the tallest building close to the city, gives you an amazing view of the whole of Vienna. Honestly it is worth going here just for the view. I've been here twice before and wasn't that impressed by the food but this time I came for lunch with my family and was pleasntly surprised. The food was really spectacular and beautifully plated. Beautiful food to compliment the beautiful view. Even their sourdough bread was super bomb. I will say though that it is pretty pricey. The 4 course menu is 91€. Individually the appetizers are around 25€ and the main courses are around 35€ and desserts are approximately 12€. So good food is to be expected with these prices.

    We arrived to the Loft on Friday December 23 around 630 pm. We did not have a reservation. When we inquired about a table, we were told they had been booked for 10 days solid and had nothing available, but we were able to sit in the bar area. We sat in the bar area and decided to have drinks and dinner there. Thankfully the staff opened up their full menu to accommodate us, since typically they only serve a modified bar area menu. Well, first let's talk about why we all are coming here, for the view!! YES IT IS AS AMAZING AS EVERYONE SAYS! Definitely a must do when you come to Vienna. 360 degree views of the city, and a contemporary bar/restaurant. Super nice. The photos attached do not do it justice. The food was decent, very pricey though. Drinks were good, average whiskey selection, nothing shocking, but overpriced. We ordered a variety of appetizers and main courses and just shared. Like I said, was good but nothing special. The waitress was very cool and attentive. Why the three stars you ask? Well during the entire night, the restaurant never reached over 70% occupied. Each time we all went to the bathroom, we commented on how many empty tables there were and why they couldn't fit us in. We made it very clear we would take any table. We ended up staying till about 2 AM and spent over 700 Euro, I don't think it would of been a stretch for them to seat us at a table. Either way, great location, a must see. Stop in for a few drinks before you head out to you main venue is my recommendation.

    One of the Best Views of Vienna. We just went for a few drinks and the view, nothing to eat. I had the Bigote Blanco drink and it was spectacularl.

    Cool spot with a great vibe and quick service. They also have smaller private areas to sit with…read moreyour group.

    When the bartender at a 5-star hotel refers you to another bar, you know that it must be something…read morespecial. That's how I came upon Nightfly's. While staying at the Le Meridien, I wandered into the hotel's bar and asked for a Sazerac, and the bartender got a wistful look and smile and said that he didn't have all the makings of it, but he knew where I could go to find a true cocktail lounge. I wandered in on a cold and rainy night, and sat down at the bar. I asked the bartender if he had absinthe for a Sazerac, and told him about Silver Bar and Keita. He had a chuckle, and said that he knew Keita and respected his opinion, but that he made all the classics. As there were only a few other patrons, we had a chance to speak at length, and I soon learned that the bartender was actually Gerhard, the owner. For nearly 24 years, Gerhard has run this small temple to mixology, and he has stocked it with the finest of what the world has to offer. In particular the rums and whisk(e)ys span the world and the decades, with vintages I've never seen before (like a 25-year old Edmund Dantes Havana Club). In terms of variety, Nightfly's is maybe second only to The Brandy Library in New York City, but in a much more intimate environment. The space is dark and feels like you're walking into someone's den or study. The bar itself is underground, and the staircase leading you in is lined with boxes and bottles of glorious spirits that have been enjoyed by prior guests. The main seating area will be right in front of you, with small tables perfect for couples or small groups. To the right is the small bar, with room enough for 6 or so, and just past the bar is a sealed non-smoking room. Yup - Nightfly's is smoker-friendly, and you can either bring your own cigarettes, cigars, vape, or select from Gerhard's great stock of cigars for sale. If you sit at the bar, you can enjoy both Gerhard's company as well as watch the man at work. Each drink is made precisely, and will be mixed while the glass in which it is served is cooled down with ice cubes that are carefully drained so that you're never getting excess water in your cocktail. After each drink is made, Gerhard hands his tools off to his talented apprentice, who serves as both waiter in the main room as well as barback. Each shaker, blender, and stirrer is cleaned within minutes of being used behind the bar, and prepared for the next round. It's fast, efficient, and a marvel to watch. In my few days in Vienna, I managed to make it here twice regretting only that it could not be more. If you only have one evening for a well-made cocktail or top-shelf whisk(e)y or rum, Nightfly's is where you should go. If you actually live in Vienna, well then I can only congratulate you for being so fortunate as to come here whenever you wish. I wish Gerhard many more years behind the bar, and look forward to enjoying his craft again next time I'm in Vienna.
