Too much hype for the experience
2 Star Rating: Below Average

10/19/2007 Posted by wwcitizen

When the Michelin Guide for 2008 came out with Wallse as a one-star achiever, we were excited and booked a reservation (easy on Open Table!). While the food was good and representative of the Austrian palette, the atmosphere, ambiance, and service were pretty lousy. We'd probably go again on a MUCH slower day, but you should be sure to know what wine you want to pair with your foods because the sommelier is nowhere to be found - even when he has been promised to come to your table! The bartender was superb, however, and certainly knows her wines.

Pros: Bartender was very friendly and helpful

Cons: Table service left one desirous (very slow with drinks even!)

Editor's Review

Austrian cuisine authentic enough to make you wish you were in Vienna, just so you could light up that cigar.  See the full editorial review.
