Great ambiance, good service, but food was far too salty & inedible. A complimentary dessert was offered as compensation

The ambience was really good also the service was as expected for a place like this. I did not like the restricted options on the Sunday brunch menu, we had to wait until 15:00 in order to be able to order from the whole menu. Overall it was a nice restaurant with nice live piano music that traveled us to a different era.

We were rushed through the meal; treated like a factory and only looking to turn the table to get another seated. There are many more places in Vienna the have better food, service and atmosphere.
