We sat at the terrace under a shade and from there, we could enjoy a performance taking place across the street at the Kunst Halle. The food was very good. Drinks too. Service was very friendly, as always. A good nice break on a Summer afternoon!

Surprisingly not good. No issues with staff or the place. Both felt normal for the 2 stars. 0.5 star for price (if the food tasted good a 1). Missing 2 stars comes from the expectation of taste from the food. I ordered some kind of herr fretzl (hope I remembered correctly) and pancakes. I had just finished a half marathon, so I was hungry. It came, I salivated at how it looked and went right in. The herr F. was soooooo much bread and so little ham, cheese and egg, I ran out of water trying to get it down. It was somehow bland from the lack of butter or proper balance of ingredients. Even with salting and peppering it nothing could save it. Then there are the eggs. I don't get why Austrians like snot (the undercooked wigglies next to the yoke) while they eat. Whatever, too hungry to care as I'm sure the pancakes can salvage things. Nope. I have never tasted anything more odd than these. I don't know if they forgot an ingredient in the mixture, but the pancake itself was so dry, thick and tastless. I had a chocolate sauce, nuts and berries with it but could barely taste them with every bite of pancake. Sorry to the owner, but I've traveled a lot and tasted a lot in my life. This was very strange and unpleasing.
