We came on a Thursday evening as a party of five and were seated promptly (with reservation). As many others have noted, the ambiance is intricate, quirky, and packed with character. Every booth is a mini shrine to celebrity guests; ours was lined with plaques from dignitaries and ambassadors galore -- a conversation starter for sure. While the setting is memorable, the food could use more attention. We tried the asparagus two ways (steamed and fried), asparagus with salmon, and asparagus risotto. The white asparagus itself was well-prepared, but the accompanying dishes fell short. The risotto was overly soft and lacked any discernible grains, the salmon was dry, and overall, the sides didn't match the quality of the star ingredient. Prices are high, though arguably fitting for the ambiance and service. In short: a fun and unique night out with lots of flair, but I'd love to see the kitchen step up to match the setting.

Service was extremely slow the whole time, from ordering, to getting drinks and refills, to food arrival, but during the meal was not bad enough to complain. Then, it got terrible. After finishing our meal, I had to ask for three things FIVE TIMES and it took the server 45 minutes to deliver: 1) More water 2) A to-go box for leftovers 3) The bill to pay. 45 minutes after the first request, a server finally brings all 3 things and tells me the total without showing an itemization or mentioning a tip. I tap my card to pay, and then he hands me two receipts: the one from the computer showing each item totaling €204, and the one from the credit card machine showing a higher total of €220. I was not told about a tip and did not authorize a tip. Even in America, I would not be leaving a tip if the server took 45 minutes to deliver those three things at the end of my meal. Tips are based on good service, and this service was awful. I confronted the server about this, and he said "Oh but you said €220 was okay!" ... yes, because you said that was the total of the food, you mentioned nothing about a tip. Then as I continued to protest, another server grabbed the receipts out of my hand and kicked my friend and I out of the restaurant. Our significant others had already gone outside due to the extremely long delay. From what I can tell of Austrian law, there were several possible crimes. Fraud for not telling me about the tip, and robbery or theft along with the other things listed below for grabbing the receipts out of my hand. I do not even know if the original €204 was accurate since I could not examine the receipt. After reading some other reviews, I am apparently not the only person he has done this to!
