"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."
