Recommend for atmosphere and service. Food was good, but not outstanding like the service was. Still worth a visit as the portions are fair sizes for the price. They have a great wine and beer selection if that’s your thing, too.

We were in town for a concert and staying at a hotel close by. I ordered the Karntner and my husband went with the Tuesday special (backerl) that was very savory. We did the pork belly appetizer (wammerl) and had some beers. Everything was great from the atmosphere, to the service and the food.

The Sunday special pork shank was too dry, and it was expensive for dry meat. The pork belly appetizer was great and the dessert was good also. The outside patio seating could use more shade and cover or misters.
GrünauerResponded on September 9, 2022another crazy way to beat the heat is to not sit outside when it's too hot! sorry your pork was dry. things happen sometimes. if you had told us we would have gladly replaced it. oh, well. thanks for the feedback and have lovely day!!
