What People Are Saying

"(July 5, 2025) This restaurant was in my bucket list for about a year then as an Austrian cuisine restaurant where I wanted to try the Sacher Torte cake. The décor was posh with tall ceilings and live piano music. The three of us tried the following: 1. Beet salad -- Cold and refreshing. The beets were sweet in a nice way. 2. Pea soup -- Warm and thick. Felt wholesome. The floating oil (unmixed with the soup) was noticeable to taste. Went well with the bread. 3. Sachet torte --- It was NOT like the original in Vienna. The icing isn't solid enough, the cake isn't chocolatey enough. It felt like "too much alcohol", my friend pointed out. A fancy place at a very nice location that requires advance table reservations where the food is decent and somewhat overpriced."

"On a quiet, snow-covered afternoon in New York, the Neue Galerie felt like a return to Vienna. Seeing Adele Bloch-Bauer in person for the first time, along with works by Egon Schiele, was deeply moving, one of those rare moments where art quietly overwhelms you. Sitting afterward at Café Sabarsky with a Sachertorte and a Wiener Melange, reflecting on it all, almost brought tears to my eyes. An intimate, elegant place where memory, art, and emotion come together beautifully."

"Stumbled upon this charming austrian restaurant for breakfast on our first day in New York, completely unaware of its Michelin-star status until we arrived. From the moment we stepped inside, it was an unforgettable experience. The security protocols were impressively thorough, and the staff made us feel right at home. The interiors, with their old English charm, added a timeless elegance to the setting. Regina, our server, was exceptional—attentive, knowledgeable, and even offered fantastic recommendations for places to visit nearby. It’s the little details that make all the difference, and this restaurant got them all right. The portions were generous, and every dish was spot on. The Apfelstrudel dessert was the perfect finishing touch to a flawless meal. Friendly tip: Be sure to book in advance! Walk-ins can expect at least a 30-minute wait. If you have some extra time to spare, the art gallery upstairs is definitely worth a visit! ❤️"

"A lovely lunch stop on the way to the Met. I got a beet salad and my companion ordered a liverwurst sandwich. Both were fresh and flavor-forward, well presented and served promptly. We also got the Adele dessert, a passion fruit and coconut mousse cake. Oh, it was phenomenal balance of rich and light flavors on the tongue. A delectable sweet to set is up for the rest of our art-laden day. The waitstaff was very attentive and we didn't have a problem getting a seat but I could tell there was a line forming when we left. Best recommend a reservation if booking at the traditional meal hour."

"Typically only walk in only (unless you're a member), but worth the wait! Beautiful sprawling tall ceilings and tiny marble tables. Once you are seated, service is quick and precise. Any of the open face fish sandwiches are a great choice, along with a nice slice of chocolate cake to top off the brunch. Beware, the coffee is VERY STRONG (rightly so), I had to ask for extra steamed milk."

"My fiancé and I took my mother here for dinner while she was visiting us in the city. We made a reservation a few days in advance which I definitely..."
