Steinhart Restaurant — Restaurant in Vienna

I didn’t eat at this restaurant… I only want to review customer service, which caused me to leave before ordering anything.

Even though I was at the front long enough to show I was there to eat, no one came to greet me (and I know they saw me). I had to enter and ask if I could sit. They said ‘if you want’, without a hint of a smile. They gave me a menu with no explanation at all. The guy behind the counter kept giving me sideways glances, again without smiling.

LOVED this restaurant. It is a real hidden gem in the 10th district. The service was wonderful, the restaurant design/ambiance is beautiful, and the food is innovative and delicious. The standouts for me included the Tataki from arctic char with a rhubarb, goat cheese and tarragon sauce - one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. Also amazing: the preserved vegetables (beets, turnips, peppers) and their dip with the sour dough bread (not made in-house but comes from a local bakery). The ravioli which the chef makes in-house from scratch, was good also but I felt there was a bit too much happening...
