Came here after seeing excellent reviews on Yelp…read more Not impressed. Waited about 15 mins to get seated even though multiple tables were empty. The staff is limited and looks exhausted. Quite tight seating. Restrooms are not accessible by people with limited mobility. No baby changing stations. The food is okay. The schnitzel was fine and so was lamb. Okay to eat but not memorable. Caprese salad was tasty. In conclusion, if you are passing by and hungry, feel free to stop by. If you are looking for a memorable lunch/dinner experience, plan to visit a different establishment.

They may seem half empty at times but that's because most tables are reserved. The soup with fried pancakes was delicious.

While on its own it can get a bit one note, if you pair it with the sauces and potatoes, it's a wonderful mix. Service is fine, but food is delicious and a local nearby rightfully raved about it

Sadly, at the time of our visit the kitchen had no vegetables and the chef was apparently out shopping for produce. The sous chef had burned one of our dishes and had to redo it, so we had the liver already at the table and had to wait for the second plate for about 15min. On one hand, good to know everything is cooked to order and fresh, on the other hand why does a chef shop for ingredients in the middle of the day? The liver was glazed with apples and onions, pretty good, although a little over done for my taste. Atmosphere could be cozier, especially since it's a guest house. We sat in the big dining room and the stone floors reminded us of 50s sanatoriums.

Before I start this review, I must note that I'm an incredibly picky eater, as well as inept with…read moredirections. | THE LOCATION | Die Herzl is definitely a little odd to find, so be patient. It's worth the confusion. It took me 10 minutes around the property/building to open the correct door. I will note that it's quite fun to know that it's a secret, charming gem. It's also incredibly spacious, authentic, and welcomingly cozy. The atmosphere alone boded well for a tasty meal. | THE SERVICE | As an English speaker, I am occasionally awkward with conversing in very local-driven restaurants. The servers here speak English quite well and didn't approach me as a "tourist" or treat me differently. In fact, I felt like I was an appreciated local here. Their English menu is well written and clearly explained the foods I could order. The prices are well within my college student budget for a nice treat here in Graz. I was a bit peckish prior to arriving, so I was ready to chow down. With that, I know some places are quite slow with service, testing patrons' patience. This isn't the case here. Surrounding customers were joyful with the impeccable timing; not too fast to rush you, nor too slow where you're left wondering if they forgot you existed. I ordered a second bier, which sometimes (at other eateries) takes ten minutes to arrive. It took two, and the bar is quite far from my table. This clearly showed that the employees genuinely cared about my experience and quality of it. | THE FOOD | I'm sure you want to hear about the food. The schnitzel (I had some my first day of my arrival this weekend trip) was up there with the best, and the offering of a lemon added to the flavor. The spaetzle trumped my prior one, and the generous helping made it worth the price tag. I'm a fan of simple, homestyle plating where you feel like the chef is cooking in your own home -- not the perfect plate with elegant layout. It's food, damnit. If it's good, you don't need to showcase a work of art. It looked, and tasted, like an Austrian (grand)parent cooked it. Absolutely wonderful. | IN CONCLUSION | Overall, Die Herzl made for a perfect (second to) last meal for my three day expedition to Graz, Austria. If you're a local or a traveler passing through/staying for a short period of time, you have -- no, NEED -- to eat here. It is worth every penny. *And this is coming from a picky eater who often does not try new foods. However, I would return here again and again, I would even go as far as saying I'd take the trek from my University in Florence to eat here again. My plate was impeccably clean after finishing. Tl;dr: Go here. You'll regret it otherwise.

Food dreams can be restored in future nights to come. I guess I just did not care what anyone thought. I took pics anyway. I just thought I was being sensitive to other patrons. Let's just say I tried to not be too obnoxious about it. So, yes I did consume with my camera first! I can say with absolute certainty, that this was our most perfect and intimate dining experience in Vienna. It was just lunch! The surrounding patrons appeared to be locals with huge platters of piping hot Wienerschnitzel, succulent looking meat falling off the bone....oh my, I could go on and on. Lord help me, that was a great experience. I ordered an exquisite Riesling that was perfect with my meal. I ordered the Goose Soup to start with. I shake my head now in disbelief of how perfect this soup was and LUSCIOUS. It had this potato dumpling in the middle that absorbed the creamy broth with every single bite. I was sad to see the dumpling and soup go away as I savored every spoonful. My husband had a potato soup that included mushrooms and he was pretty much freaking out about his soup as much as I was (in his own, subdued, calm manner....opposite mine!). Then Meine Damen und Herren. We have the Weinerschnitzel. Oh my goodness. We split the massive and simply prepared veal weinerschnitzel with the lemon wedge squeezing the only and perfect seasoning you need for this deliciousness in front of you. I cannot even express the greatness of the potato salad that accompanies. Smooth and creamy mustardy goodness. I would seek out this restaurant again. If every authentic Keller type dining experience is this good in Vienna; I am in big trouble!
