    An amazing, innovative menu in the theme of the Sound of Music. 4 courses including the fun cocktail, and the best version of struedel we have had- deconstructed. Why the restaurant was not busy, I do not understand. The ambiance is lovely, and the service was outstanding, and the price was very fair for what we received!
    Gaumenfreund - SalzburgResponded on May 8, 2025
    Dear Nancy, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We're delighted that you enjoyed our Sound of Music-themed menu and especially our take on the strudel — it's one of our favorites too!

We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable dining experience — and next time, perhaps with a few more guests around to share the joy!

    The food was absolutely delicious here. The menu is more vegetable focused which was great for my mom's health issues, but they still had classic Austrian dishes which I was good for me. The Wiener Schnitzel was the best I've ever had with a really good crust. The wait staff was very professional and working very hard, but they were a bit understaffed so the service was a little slow.
    Gaumenfreund - SalzburgResponded on May 12, 2025
    Dear Sarah, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We're delighted that you and your mother enjoyed your dining experience with us. It's wonderful to know that our vegetable-focused menu suited her needs while still offering the classic Austrian dishes you love — and we're especially happy the Wiener Schnitzel stood out! We appreciate your understanding regarding the service speed; we're always working to improve, and your feedback helps us do just that. We hope to welcome you again soon for another delicious visit!

    Service was so bad it ruined the entire experience. There was only one server working the entire room flying back and forth. The line bartender helped when possible. Where’s the manager?? Food was good but took 15 minutes for someone to take our drink order and 45 minutes for daughter to get her drink. Food was good but not great. Skip this place.
    Gaumenfreund - SalzburgResponded on May 13, 2025
    Dear Nora, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We truly appreciate your honest feedback. While we’re glad that you enjoyed the food, we're very sorry that the service did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating long wait times can be, especially when you're trying to enjoy a special evening out. Please accept our sincere apologies for the delays and for the overall impact this had on your visit. We are currently reviewing our staffing and management coverage to ensure that situations like this do not happen again. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future — we’d love the opportunity to provide you with the experience you expected and deserve. Warm regards, Your H-Hotels Team, Christina Dinklage – Online Reputation Manager
