An absolutely brilliant experience. The food was delicious and well presented. The service and attentiveness of the staff were great! They were super friendly and were willing to still speak with me in German despite mine not being so great- really appreciated that! The ambiance and the atmosphere were of a sophisticated nature. A reservation is a must. Would highly recommend

The fascinating fine dining experience, top-notch quality food, and very attentive and pleasant staff that pays attention to your needs and can make something special for you, and great view from a restaurant on top of that. Make sure to reserve a place in advance. Also, make sure to come hungry and keep a free place in your stomach, you will want to taste all the positions on the menu. Thank you for making my evening in Vienna so special, surely will be back!

The place is lovely and elegant. I ordered a schnitzel and an original sacher cake. Both of them are nice but the price is a bit high.

Great atmosphere! The interior design is almost perfect. The music (live piano) was great. The food though was not as delicious as I can ever have. Stuff was not nice in the beginning. Funny enough Fran Lebovitz was present at the time of our visit. Wine selection was ample with no orange wine.

This is an amazing restaurant. For my husband’s 30th birthday. It was the best choice for birthday lunch in Vienna🇦🇹 Appreciate all the staff at Route bar.

I am coming as tourist, servers are nice and beautiful hotel. Here are findings: must make reservation, there are water fee 9 euro and they charge cover/entry fees, you can order cafe sacher foods (torte or apple streduel), you will look odd taking pictures of foods and with restaurants, expect some wait time for foods, we ordered the traditional foods and the portions are larger than picture (they serve foods twice ), the main come with starter bread/ roasted pork belly/ side salad, lemon is wrapped on yellow cloth and looks like dumplings.

Only given 2 stars for service and 4 for food as we ordered schnitzel ( 2 pieces per person) and the waiter gave us both 1, then added a small portion of our side dish to the plate. The other half of our main meal was left uncovered on a trolley by the exit with people coming and going My husband had finished what was on the plate and had to wait a while and attract the attention of the waiter so he could finish the rest of his meal that was by the doorway. I turned down the other half of my schnitzel and potatoes as by this point, it had been sitting around, uncovered next to the exit.

Nice restaurant in an even nicer hotel. Food was okay, but service was excelent. I'm not sure if I would recommend it for dinner, but definitely for some drinks and maybe a small bite. There's a piano in the dinning room, not sure if there's a player every night but there was in this occasion, he takes request which made the experience all that better.

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience here. Why queue up for the Sacher cafe when you can enjoy the glam of the space and the original Sachertorte all together. Amazing selection of local wine and fancy recreations of local dishes.

I booked this restaurant as a surprise birthday dinner. I was not disappointed. Superb service,amazing food and romantic atmosphere given by the decor and the lovely pianist. The food had beautiful touches, the meat was cooked to perfection, had an amuse bouche...plus a Sacher Torte on the house for the birthday lady. Thanks to all the staff members who did an amazing job we had a perfect evening!

Best cod that I have ever tasted. Even better than the one I had at one of the fine dinings of Kyoto. Nice live piano music. One thing I didn't like is, too much waiting for next dish. I ordered and waited for 50min to get my sparkling wine and soup. After long flight, I was more exhausted due to this unreasonable long intervals. Staffs were very polite but they never attempted to explain the delay to me or seemed to be sorry. All food were best, though.

The restaurant is on my list. Reality met expectations and the overall experience is satisfactory. Ambience is very nice in the tiny place. Live piano added to the beauty. Food quality and taste is outstanding. Service is excellent.

First of all, the dress code is important. Shorts are not allowed, which makes sense if you enter the place and see its style. Secondly, the service is good. You get many things from the kitchen as compliments (appetisers, bread, dessert) Thirdly, the food is pricey, but definitely is worth it. Ox meat and fish (sturgeon) were delicious. Fourthly, beside exquisite wine list they have a lot of nice cocktails (recommend the one with gin). Finally, the interior is indeed beautiful and spectacular, not my style though, however, it makes you feel special at this specific moment and enjoy the evening. PS. Life music definitely makes up additional credits to this place :)

It is a great fine dinning experience in Vienna. The food was delicious, from starters to desserts. The Wiener Schnitzel was really good and the portion is also really generous. The side salad was really tasty! The service is also quite attentive. The ambient is really pleasant, with a cozy and relaxed feeling but also elegant. Finally, the ambiance was perfect with the performance of live piano through the evening. Came here for anniversary dinner and think it was a great choice.

Classic location. Good food. Excellent service. Slightly understaffed. Live piano music. Nice porcelain & cutlery.

We had an amazing meal there. The food, service and atmosphere including a piano player was exceptional. The consume’ followed by the beef roulade and linguine were made with such care. Of course, we finished with the Sacher torte to cap off a most memorable evening. Thank you to Ivo, who guided us and provided such passionate and excellent service. Look forward to seeing you again next year!

Great affordable fine dining restaurant, a great selection of meat dishes and Viennese specialities. Service is great and the interior is very elegant.

Great once in a lifetime experience! We came for my boyfriends birthday and after talking to them in private they surprised him with a birthday cake with nice writing and a candle, free of charge. The staff was amazing and the food was great xx

This was a wonderful experience in Vienna on my last day. And it was a wonderful atmosphere. I ate alone, and had a wonderful time people watching. I asked for the four course service. The food was prepared marvelously. And service was proper and top notch. I noticed how the staff greeted with fondness and enthusiasm regulars. I don't drink wine, so no review for the wine. But, yes, their Sachertorte is a must try (you can also purchase a whole one in their small shop next to the restaurant). The price is acceptable for me but may be high for some. After all, this is fine dining at its finest. The dress code is smart casual (business casual, for us Americans), which is strictly observed as I did see a couple at the door informed about the dress code when they tried to enter with tshirts and jeans. Go to the website for the Hotel Sacher Wein to make reservations. Next time I'm in Vienna, I will go again.

Loved this restaurant. The maître d'hôtel was world class and so was the service. The atmosphere is luxurious yet very cozy. Reservations are recommended. The food was excellent and the service (yes again) was amazing. Highly recommended. The Beef Wellington is their speciality here and that's what we had.

Amazing meal - Tobias was a legendary waiter and made us feel so welcome! Recommend the Austrian white burgundy, the schnitzel, Sacher torte (obviously!) and the cheese plate. Tinkling piano music makes for a very relaxing evening. Thanks Rote Bar!

Elegant, stylish yet warm and cozy. Amazing food - both quality and selection. Perfect service !

Excellent place to eat after a show at the opera. Friendly staff and great food: dishes come with vegetables, a rarity in Vienna. I don't usually like music at restaurants, but a live piano was quite enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Amazing dining experience! The red room is really beautiful, it is quite small, so the experience is more intimate. Food was great, right portions. Service was impeccable, very attentive and professional. Price is very reasonable. Definitely worth a visit!

If you are looking for a fine dining in Vienna for lunch or before/after your shows, that's the place to go. Traditional Austrian dishes and great service. Also the building and the hall is amazing. Small tip, if you go for lunch they might give small complimentary treats!

Nice intimate setting for dinner. Long opening hours and the food is great. Will definitely eat here again the next time we're in Vienna

When I visiting some restaurants, the most important thing for me is food, after - surrounding, services, music. So.. I have tried goose liver torte. It was smart try. I’ve never ate liver with chocolate.. one time you can try, but it’s maximum 🤪. Vienner schnitzel - if you never tried, then yes, try. Soft veal meat, but it is fried 🙁; chicken - the same fried piece. And pls note, when you order schnitzel - take one portion for 2, as there go two pieces. The same with the chicken. Now dessert- of cource we took Sacher cake. It is really good.

Great place and great food. Suitable even for a vegeterain. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Sacher torte is obvious choice for desert, but try their strudel. You will be amazed.

Amazing food, atmosphere and service, absolutely satisfied. They offer a perfect combination of tradition and modernity. The plates are balanced, and never dull. They also offer a very good selection of wines, I would recommend to try an Austrian wine, you won't be disappointed. The personnel are kind and attemptive, they also speak multiple languages. But I personally did not like to pay 4 euros for the couvert, especially given the level of the restaurant. For this reason I decided not to leave any tip. I have been to the Sacher in Salzsburg, there was no couvert cost there and I gladly left a tip there. Anyway I absolutely recommend it

Very romantic atmosphere in the restaurant, classic music to help to fill your heart love and you forget about time and simply enjoy your meal. The service was great and friendly. For this dessert I paid only 14€ without tips. I recommend it, if you want relax time - go to Rote Bar :)

The Hotel Sacher is an extremely historic and beautiful hotel located directly across the road from the Staatsoper. It is THE PERFECT place to be dining before an evening at the opera. I’d recommend booking ahead for a place by the window. The luxurious velvet curtains, softly shimmering chandeliers evoke the sense of a private dining room in an imperial palace. The food was very good: hearty, generous, simple. We had the Wiener Schnitzel and the Roulade, both of which seemed very authentically made. For a classic “Viennese” experience, I think this is probably an extremely good choice. The pianist is one of the best jazz pianists we have encountered in such European establishments. At 7PM, he starts to play a mix of jazz standards and old tunes (he melted my heart with “Fascination”), with a natural, tasteful embellishment on a muted baby grand tucked snugly in the corner of the restaurant. Imagine: you are sipping your tea after a beautiful meal, with a live jazz pianist playing on one side, and and in the other a duet from La Traviata drifting gently through the windows. My only other comment would be the wait, as reflected by some other commenters. The wait staff was also rather small, meaning it was more difficult to get their attention. However, the head waiter provided excellent, professional, and efficient service once we notified him that we were tight on time. I would not deduct a star for this, and would absolutely come back here again.

Food and the atmosphere was good. The staffs were friendly but the service was slow

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere. Also, perfect for a pre-opera meal.

Had the Sachertorte in different locations in Vienna, this one was the best in my opinion. The service and the atmosphere is marvelous.
