Also, the portions are oversized so if you do chose to eat here come hungry.

Service is good and the food came quickly. Prices are not terribly low. That being said the food was totally worth it. I was surprised to find some creative dishes along with many Austrian classics and went with the turkey steak with roasted banana and camembert on noodles and pistachio nuts. It had my pallet dancing. The menu was large with a number of dishes that sounded interesting. I'll definitely be headed back soon!
