Frommer's Review
This is the trendiest and most sought-after restaurant in Vienna, with considerable jockeying among the city's glitterati. The creation of the young and fun Fabio Giacobello, the space is bigger inside than you might think. Most of the visual distraction in this mostly black but plush and artfully lit environment comes from its fashion-conscious and usually good-looking clients, and from walls of glass that seem to bring the visual details of Vienna's historic core directly inside. Menu items change frequently, but might include warm octopus marinated with olive oil and parsley served on a bed of cold gazpacho cream sauce, crispy sesame leaves stuffed with warm goat cheese served with Treviso radicchio and honeydew melon, and roasted rack of lamb with cold marinated eggplant and tomatoes served with deep-fried polenta gnocchetti. Our favorite dessert? The panna cotta with apricot ragout and caramelized pistachios, although a selection of cheeses is equally tempting. Incidentally, don't overlook the value of this place's wine bar as a nightlife option. There's enough drama unfolding around its rectangular surface to keep a few tabloid writers busy, and someone famous within the inner workings of Vienna's media and politics always seems to be popping up for air and a drink or two.
