Quite tight seating. Restrooms are not accessible by people with limited mobility. No baby changing stations. The food is okay. The schnitzel was fine and so was lamb. Okay to eat but not memorable. Caprese salad was tasty. In conclusion, if you are passing by and hungry, feel free to stop by. If you are looking for a memorable lunch/dinner experience, plan to visit a different establishment.

We were looking for a spot for dinner that was close to Schönbrunn palace and noticed this…read moreonline-it's a short, easy, 15-minute walk from the palace gate to the restaurant situated in a pretty little village just outside the palace walls. It's a big lively beer hall with big long tables and lots of groups enjoying themselves after work. Our table for two, situated upstairs in this massive place was the exception. Waiters were efficient and we they provided us with English menus to make choosing from their dozens of options easier. Like other Austrian restaurants we've visited this trip, the portions are massive-they make the US-sized big portions look small. My wife's chicken "schnitzel" (thin pounded chicken breast) was two large pieces that each covered the 10" dinner plate and was served with about a pint of German potato salad while my fresh fish (fried perch) wad two 8" long pieces, about an entire head of steamed broccoli and a couple of cups of buttery parsley potatoes. In addition we ordered their version of a caprese salad (tomatoes and fresh mozzarella with basil) that also filled an entire large plate. I suppose owing to the size of the restaurant (must seat at least 300-400), the food arrived super quick-salad in about 5 minutes and main courses very shortly after. With a couple of glasses each of a local red wine, the entire meal was less than 50€! Unfortunately we couldn't even eat half the food although from our perch on the 2nd floor looking down across the balcony, we did observe lots of local people, including women, who did! Bottom line, festive place with a great value.

It was almost empty, and separated into a smoking and non smoking area, which I appreciate, but there was no physical barrier so... Basically it's all smoking. The waitress was nice but not overly friendly (although she ended up being one of the friendliest people on our trip in retrospect, turns out the Austrians -at least the one we met- are not particularly warm and fuzzy people.) We had the boiled beef which came with delicious potatoes, chive sour cream, and horseradish applesauce. This was super delicious and one of the Viennese specialties on our to-try list so we were happy to check it off! We also tried the turkey schnitzel which came with a "salad" (iceberg, a lot of tomatoes, and potatoes?) Prices were reasonable and atmosphere was cool. I'd recommend it for Viennese food or a drink!

The seating is indoor (fairly small - but enough room to not feel cramped) or outdoors. Outdoor seating was plentiful, but like most people in Vienna, the locals all seem to smoke. So we opted for indoors. Our waitress was kickass. Right off the bat she was welcoming and on it. We ordered Gruner Vertliner wine, which arrived promptly and a carafe of water... which was nice touch. Our waitress recommended the "fried chicken" (which was similar to schnitzel, but with chicken - and only better) and the gnocchi with smashed peas and chorizo. Both were fire. We also ordered the no bake chocolate cake and it was really good. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. We may be going back tomorrow.

We missed the Vienna Philharmonic by days but secured tickets to experience performances in both the Golden and Brahm Halls. The Golden Hall was the premier one of the two with ample seating and amazing acoustics. The Brahm Hall was more intimate for smaller performances but it suffered from air circulation issues especially during the latest heatwave in Europe. We got to see a wonderful performance by a group of Northern California high schools (Monta Vista, Livermore and Lynbrook) in the Golden Hall. Tickets anywhere in the hall were just 10 Euros! The LLMV Symphony Orchestra and LLMV Wind Band split their performance across the almost 2 hours. The music choices and hall acoustics were beautiful. Parents and family were definitely here in numbers to cheer their sons/daughters on. Definitely a must to experience any performance here in the Golden Hall. The Die Schloss Capelle was a recurring performance in the Brahm Hall and the stand out for us with the 2nd half performance with a featured violinist soloist/lead who we felt really livened everything. There was a brief power outage near the beginning but the group was not flustered and kept on playing until the lighting returned! If it wasn't for the heat inside the hall then we would've enjoyed the performance more. So many of us were fanning ourselves with any piece of paper or fans we had. Multiple restrooms were available on each floor and I did not notice any significant lines. Programs were available to download via a QR Code. During the break, drinks and snacks were available outside the halls but not allowed inside. There were tables available for eating but very limited. Highly recommend planning a visit to enjoy the great sounds inside the Golden Hall. It will be memorable!

The performers were generally top-notch and their Baroque attire was a nice bonus. The staff mostly enforced the "no video" policy.
