This is normal, which is why we were given a tip to stay an evening at the Gasthaus when we went for a weekend trip to Reichenau. Unfortunately the place was booked out for that weekend and even for one specific weekend in June. It's very popular, so reserve ahead of time. We still found elsewhere to stay near town but still decided to come one evening for dinner. Falstaff 2 forks and 86 points. Ratings seemed to point they were good but another tip to us was they do specialities for the season and take importance in the quality of their food. The food was wonderful and I have to admit this was one of the best lamb dishes I ever had in Austria. I have high expectations when it comes to dishes serving lamb. We got as dessert a variation of what they have and that's perfect. You have no room left in you, it's k. Just order the dessert variation set. Trust me it will be worth all bloating and complaining. This kitchen has some gems stored in their sleeves. Food outstanding! The location and view. Austria is filled with Gasthauses that are situated in places with views that make you say "I'm quitting my job, moving here and eating & drinking for the rest of my life." This is a place like that. View of mountains spectacular and even though we got it at a rainy and cloudy day it was incredible when the sun broke out a couple times. You have tables on balcony, at back if you want more forest and less view or you have these couple benches as in northern Germany so that you can have some privacy with your better half. It's a 1 hour drive from Vienna (would require a lot of walking from train station). Call and reserve room or table before just going there. Staff is wonderful and helpful. If any of you new comers in Vienna are wondering where can I take my friends or family and give a taste of the mountains food and drinks, keep this place in mind.

My only regret was that I should have tried the pumpkin soup. Our friend ordered and I sampled it. Omg... it was so good!! Our schnitzel and fried chicken main dishes were perfect! Craving these again now, but we're home and have no access to these delish Styrian dishes This place is a gem. I must visit again someday!!!

So if you can get a table here it's a wonderful spot for large parts of the year. The building and its interior is light and bright in country style like an elegant Inn and the staff is friendly and willing to help. The menu offers typical Austrian/Styrian food and the meals we had were delicious. One had the famous Austrian Tafelspitz, another had the chicken breast (of the corn-fed chicken) with mushroom risotto and another one of our group had the beef tartar with quail-egg in marinated ruccola, butter and white bread. I had the Styrian Backhendl, a breaded chicken half, you can have with or without skin. I took it without skin, the traditional Styrian way. From Graz with love! Dr. Dr. Immanuel Fruhmann

The dishes are not only perfectly executed but all feature a twist putting them well above the price level. The fish soup and the pumpkin soup both were great, with the pumpkin soup maybe being the best I ever had. They are specialised in local ingredients and for the main we had local fish. Also cooked perfectly and overall an extremely well composed plate. The wine list is also worth special mentioning. If you are somewhere in the area, make the effort and go there. Really worth it!

They offer guests what they call a "Halbpension", by which they mean full breakfast and dinner, but also serve a light lunch composed of salad and soup, as well as an afternoon cake. That's Vollpension to me for sure. The food is overall very good and they make a special event out of every dinner, with a wide buffet of entries, a soup course, a main course and a desert. For the main course you always get to choose between the fish of the day, vegetarian, a gourmet version of a local recipe or something more traditional. The restaurant is only for guests, so one can't just pop in for dinner. The service is very attentive and friendly, in line with the outstanding overall quality of the hotel.
