Frommer's Review
This is a hotel dining room, but a hotel dining room with a difference: All of the ingredients used in its cuisine derive from organically grown ingredients, raised in Austria without chemical fertilizers or insecticides. The setting is a quartet of cozy and traditional-looking dining rooms, each with a name that evokes a chalet high in the mountains. There's the Stüberl, strictly reserved for nonsmokers; the Schank (a bar area with a handful of dining tables); the Spiesesaal (the richly paneled main dining room); and Hirsch Saal (Deer Room, with lots of memorabilia related to hunting). Menu items change with the season but might include a creamy pumpkin soup, carpaccio of Austrian beef, tafelspitz, several versions of Wiener schnitzel, and about five different vegetarian dishes, the best example of which is small Spätzle in a cheese-flavored onion sauce.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
