Dinner here was fine, but not the 4.5 star experience Yelp led us to believe. Yelpers so…read morerecommended this place that we tried to go our first night in town, and were advised that it might be a 30 minute wait -- but the staff *also* told the 7 parties ahead of us that it might be a 30 minute wait for them, too. So we went elsewhere. We went back the next night at an off-hour and while the food was fine, I would have been highly disappointed had we waited in line for 30 minutes, let alone 2 or more hours. This restaurant has a prime location and a strong online reputation. And perhaps our experience was impacted by the fact that we went at an off-hour. Still, there are much better options, with equal character, available across the city. Consider branching out -- and check my other Salzburg reviews for other alternatives.

If you're planning on having dinner in Salzburg and it's not at the Christmas market, I highly…read morerecommend eating here. We came in around 5pm for an early dinner before our train back to Munich and was able to grab a table for 4. We got incredibly lucky because the restaurant really filled up and by the time we left, there was a long line down the block. Of course we had to have their Original Wiener Schnitzel, which was so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We also had a Salzburger Nockerl, which is a classic Austrian soufflé dessert that is considered a culinary symbol of Salzburg. You do have to order this about 20 minutes in advance, so we ordered it when we made our entree orders. This was really good and honestly, more than enough for our group of 4. I also highly recommend their house beer, which was one of the best beers I had during our 10 day trip.

Before I start this review, I must note that I'm an incredibly picky eater, as well as inept with…read moredirections. | THE LOCATION | Die Herzl is definitely a little odd to find, so be patient. It's worth the confusion. It took me 10 minutes around the property/building to open the correct door. I will note that it's quite fun to know that it's a secret, charming gem. It's also incredibly spacious, authentic, and welcomingly cozy. The atmosphere alone boded well for a tasty meal. | THE SERVICE | As an English speaker, I am occasionally awkward with conversing in very local-driven restaurants. The servers here speak English quite well and didn't approach me as a "tourist" or treat me differently. In fact, I felt like I was an appreciated local here. Their English menu is well written and clearly explained the foods I could order. The prices are well within my college student budget for a nice treat here in Graz. I was a bit peckish prior to arriving, so I was ready to chow down. With that, I know some places are quite slow with service, testing patrons' patience. This isn't the case here. Surrounding customers were joyful with the impeccable timing; not too fast to rush you, nor too slow where you're left wondering if they forgot you existed. I ordered a second bier, which sometimes (at other eateries) takes ten minutes to arrive. It took two, and the bar is quite far from my table. This clearly showed that the employees genuinely cared about my experience and quality of it. | THE FOOD | I'm sure you want to hear about the food. The schnitzel (I had some my first day of my arrival this weekend trip) was up there with the best, and the offering of a lemon added to the flavor. The spaetzle trumped my prior one, and the generous helping made it worth the price tag. I'm a fan of simple, homestyle plating where you feel like the chef is cooking in your own home -- not the perfect plate with elegant layout. It's food, damnit. If it's good, you don't need to showcase a work of art. It looked, and tasted, like an Austrian (grand)parent cooked it. Absolutely wonderful. | IN CONCLUSION | Overall, Die Herzl made for a perfect (second to) last meal for my three day expedition to Graz, Austria. If you're a local or a traveler passing through/staying for a short period of time, you have -- no, NEED -- to eat here. It is worth every penny. *And this is coming from a picky eater who often does not try new foods. However, I would return here again and again, I would even go as far as saying I'd take the trek from my University in Florence to eat here again. My plate was impeccably clean after finishing. Tl;dr: Go here. You'll regret it otherwise.

I found the soup a bit salty, but otherwise it was quite good. It was filled with a lot of fish pieces, as well as carrots and onion. My partner thought the chicken a bit bland, and not much of it, but that was balanced in part by the large, delicious salad. Service was ok; pretty friendly and fast. On the cusp between a 3 and a 4, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
