"This was our Friday evening choice for dinner while in Salzburg. We booked well in advance for an early evening dinner and were seated promptly at what was possibly the most uncomfortable table in the place, despite only two other guests being there. Not the...first time we've had this experience at restaurants: it never gets things off to a good start. We asked to be reseated, and were but given that the place wasn't exactly buzzing, the issue should not have arisen in the first place. We could smell cigarette smoke, but to give the benefit of the doubt, maybe it was from elsewhere, as the restaurant shares a building. Once the preliminaries had been sorted, the service was OK. The food was a bit hit and miss. We suspected that the scallops in one of the starters were from frozen stock, and the corn fed chicken main course too (the meat was rather dry and tasteless). In contrast, the tomato essence soup was good, as was the sea bass with risotto main course. The wine was good too, though from a limited wine list. We decided not to try the desserts."
