    So i did a little wiki'ing before I sat down for this review and i can't help but laugh at the experience. This was the FIRST meal we had in Austria. After checking in on Saturday around noon, we were starving. By the time we got to Karlsplatz station, I was willing to eat anything. Since we didn't really know anything nor the area, we found the first restaurant sign that seemed okay. Weinerwald, meaning Vienna Woods, or what I would have translated to Wiener World or Vienna World, seemed like a proper place to eat. As soon as we walked in, my boyfriend said, "man, this place looks like Denny's - I don't think we should eat here." At that moment, I was too hungry to care. My argument was, "look, if someone came to the US and they never tried Denny's or iHOP, they wouldn't really get a sense of the real american culture. So maybe we need to get a real sense of the Viennese culture." In some ways, I was neither wrong nor right.... Apparently, Wienerwald used to be a fast food chain that started in Munich, then made a spinoff casual dining restaurant in Austria, and then bankrupted because everyone thought they sold, well, weiners...their specialty is supposed to be CHICKEN, but we didnt order that, of course not. The menu had all sorts of Classic Viennese cuisine, and not knowing the place was known for chicken, we ordered "Viennese Classics". We ordered a steak, smothered with gravy, and a Viennese minced veal sausage like dish. Neither of which I now know the name. So no, we didn't order the chicken, and was confused as to why there were roosters on the door (see pic). Each dish was approximate 12EUR. Anyway, the food was no good. It was salty but bland in flavour. My boyfriend to this day, still grumbles about having had to eat there. So I think unless you're a local and want to eat some fast food chicken, you might want to avoid this place.

    Went last night. There was a notice on the door in German. Not sure why they were closed - for renovations, perhaps.

    Roth part of the hotel Regina…read more They open late, full menu with drinks. The service is very good and the staffs are very accommodating. While I was wondering to use take out service but I decided to do a table dining in. I ordered the Beef and Pork filet tips with spinach dumplings in creamy mushroom, called Regina Reindl. It was a big portion and delicious. The hotel is owned by a family for centuries. Rooms are spacious if you aren't expecting 27" tv and an old phone that reminds the good old days. I have the room with the full view of St Stephen Cathedral. Aloha from Honolulu.

    We really enjoyed the Roth. We stayed at the Regina (which we loved) and we ate here several…read moretimes. Really enjoyed the lunch specials, but even things on the regular menu- like the pizzas- were great. I thought service was excellent, the servers speak excellent English (how I wish I spoke German even half as well as they speak English). You can eat inside or outside- on the lovely terrace, with a view of Votiv park and the Votiv church. Just one caveat- there are wasps in the hedge that surrounds the outside eating area, sit away from it or inside if you are allergic to wasps. The wasps were very interested in our food- but they were not particularly aggressive. We could wave them gently away. Just to give you an idea of price- a 2 course lunch special was around 14 euro- and I got a starter salad (small but good, served in a glass) and a veal entree- which was huge. I also had spaetzle and schnitzel at the Roth, and that was also delicious and HUGE.

    Not a bad experience but this seems very much a place for locals (older folks, mostly) and I felt…read morevery awkward and out of place as an tourist who only speaks really basic German. Beer selection seems pretty limited. Though they advertise food, I didn't see anyone eating anything. Three stars since nothing bad happened, but I can't say I enjoyed myself either. Others may like it more. I was trying to figure out a way to leave without it seeming even more awkward almost as soon as I arrived.

    It all started with my travel companion's need to visit a hospital for what appeared to be…read moreappendicitis. There isn't much open in Vienna on a Sunday around here, and by the time we got out of the hospital the first time to wait on blood tests, we were famished and looking for anything decent to eat. The restaurant was virtually empty when we entered, but the kitchen was open and we were seated quickly. There's a smoking and non-smoking section. They close the pocket doors to keep the smoking and non-smoking section separate, so we were virtually alone for most of dinner except when the server popped her head in. This place is proof that mom and pop shops are universal, and generally wonderful. This place had the feeling of a diner/dive bar. Not only was the server super nice and put up with our broken German, the food was seriously amazing. The goulash and the veggie soup with pancake strips were amazing. I also highly enjoyed the Wien white wine. I'm not entirely sure what we ordered for our main course, but it was all delicious, comforting, and tasted like a home-cooked meal made by someone's grandma. All in all, we got out of there for around 30 euros and were extremely happy.
