"Das Essen hier war wirklich sehr gut. Die Atmosphäre ist etwad aufgeregt und laut und auch die Kellner wirken teilweise etwas konfus. Der Service an sich war sehr freundlich, es gab nur keine richtige (oder zumindest für uns nicht ersichtliche) Einteilung der kellern auf die tische, dadurch wusste man nicht so recht, wen man ansprechen sollte. Ansonsten würden wir hier aber trotzdem jederzeit wieder hingehen und das Restaurant auch auf jeden fall weiterempfehlen!"

"Gasthofs all seem to have the same menu and there are only so many schnitsels you can eat, so we were all looking forward to eating here because of the great reviews. Koloman is going for the chic trendy look, but this doesn't really work...as it's clientel are neither chic nor trendy, it is a tourist burger joint. It is busy one though as many of the tables were reserved. We were shown to table which was much lower than the chair and people were having to eat dinner from their lap, it was also uncomfortably hot and people on neighboring tables were smoking which my wife hates, so we asked if we could eat inside as the other tables were busy or booked. This was so inconvenient for the waiter his sighs were embarrassing. In the end we were offered the table that was previously occupied by some staff. It was fine once we wiped away all the cigarette ash. The burgers are quite pricey for Austria and fries, sauce, onion rings are all extra. Not terrible, but not cheap for what you get. The burgers are pretty good, though not in my top 20. Good quality meat but a bit overcooked and dry, which may be why they arrived just a few minutes after ordering were they cooked before we ordered? We ordered cocktails, I love a margherita but you can't order a normal one here, you have to have a banana or kiwi one which is not cool, there didn't seem to be much booze in it either. We were out the door barely half an hour after arriving, we didn't really enjoy the ambience of the restaurant, the surly waiter, the cigarette smoke, or the beating sun which shooed us away before we could look at the desert menu. The burger was decent, and certainly better than burger chain fodder. Mostly, this place isn't half as cool as it thinks it is."

"We stopped here on a tour for lunch and we ordered a Wiener schnitzel, salmon with risotto, salad with grilled chicken, boiled beef, pasta and soup. The hot food was served cold - we think everything was already cooked instead of made to order and they just plated the food. As such the coldness of the pasta and schnitzel ruined the food. Salmon was served with skin on and risotto was just awful as was the apricot sauce that came with it. The boiled beef was also awful and small and overpriced. The only things we like were the salad, potato cakes and soup. Wine was a joke. We think we were served about 3 ounces in a large glass. Cole was expensive. Actually everything was way over priced - captive audience so the my take advantage. I suggest you walk down to the town of Melo and find something else to eat. Kudos to our waiter Mario who had a full restaurant and was hustling around trying to serve everyone. He was doing a good job."

"Visited with a family of four and was able to sit outside under the awning. It was a perfect day so it was perfect for an al fresco brunch. The food was good. Highly recommend the Vital toast (think grilled cheese with veggies) and ham...and cheese toast w/ fried egg (egg was perfectly cooked). The Margherita pizza looked good but taste was average at best. Only issues were that the breakfast menu was only in German (the lunch/dinner menu in in German and English) and we ordered toast that never came but didn’t see that it was on the bill until after it was paid. The staff’s response when we brought it to their attention was that they were sorry but did not have any way to fix the situation."

"Our group of six needed a late lunch. There was a big cycling event coming through town, so most of the restaurants were full. We walked down Wiener Strasse to find a small pizza place on the right (just past where you would turn to...go uphill to the Abbey, but on the other side of the narrow road . The service does not speak English and it looks like they cater to carry-out and a local crowd. We bought a couple of pizzas and a salad. Everything was great. Who ever heard of a kabab pizza? We entered begrudgingly (really? a pizza joint? but left very satisfied with this unique experience. The pizzas were huge, so beware of ordering the larger size!"
