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.

So if you can get a table here it's a wonderful spot for large parts of the year. The building and its interior is light and bright in country style like an elegant Inn and the staff is friendly and willing to help. The menu offers typical Austrian/Styrian food and the meals we had were delicious. One had the famous Austrian Tafelspitz, another had the chicken breast (of the corn-fed chicken) with mushroom risotto and another one of our group had the beef tartar with quail-egg in marinated ruccola, butter and white bread. I had the Styrian Backhendl, a breaded chicken half, you can have with or without skin. I took it without skin, the traditional Styrian way. From Graz with love! Dr. Dr. Immanuel Fruhmann

The Weingut Kieslinger is the most recognized Buschenschank (wine tavern) of the Styrian Tuscany,…read morethis very special region known for its great and awarded wines and its rolling hills just outside of Graz to the south, direction Adriatic Sea. The Kieslinger is an institution and well known to many Grazer and far beyond for its panoramic view on the hilltop and of course its special ambience and its very delicious food and wines. You can have a seat in the patio located in the vineyard right next to the growing wine grapes and enjoy this very special scenery over the rolling hills of the Styrian Tuscany and on clear days you can even see the mountains on the border to Slovenia. Here at the Kieslinger you get excellent quality for your money but its pricy as it is a main touristic spot. So you also pay for the brand and the special location of the Kieslinger. This is to be considered when you visit the Kieslinger. We had the Styrian Bug Bean Salad (Käferbohnensalat) with Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil (Steirisches Kürbiskernöl), this awarded black oil, exported to many countries around the world together with a Belegtes Brot and Kürbisaufstrichbrot for instance (breads with ham, and with all sorts of spreads like Pumpkin Cream Spread). Oh the variety is quite big. You also can get a very fine Brettljause here, but it is a bigger portion than the Belegte Brot. All dishes here are super-delicious and very special in taste. By the way to the other side of the hill, to be specific on the hilltop of the next hill you have in sight when looking onto the vineyards there is the house Thomas Muster bought, this world class Austrian Tennis player from the 90ies who is from this particular region.
