I went to "die Scherbe" early on a Sunday morning. I guess I need to get used to this, but in Graz…read moreit seems like there's a pretty big culture of reserving tables. I arrived and most tables were reserve but empty. Maybe it was just the tables in the Hinterhof, a very chill and shaded area. Luckily, one table was open. It was just me and my daughter but it was a big table; I was embarrassed. I would have gladly sat at a smaller table, but like I said, all of them were reserved. No one gave me the impression that I was doing something wrong though. Indeed, for Austrian expectations, I'd say the service was great. My daughter and I sat undisturbed for some time: she with her iPad, me enjoying the quiet that comes with my daughter watching her iPad.
The food was good. I found it slightly had that the soft boiled eggs came in a little glass, but it did make it more manageable to eat them. The eggs came with a very soft white bread, which was nice. I also liked the tea, even though I don't understand why they want me to put the tea bag in. Black tea is supposed to use boiling hot water...don't wait! I got a couple of butter croissants, as well: one for my daughter (who ruined her appetite with Fig Newtons) and one for me since I had ordered strawberry jam and used all the bread for the eggs.
