"Das gastronomische Erlebnis im Villino war zweifellos eine Delikatesse für die Sinne. Von der eleganten Atmosphäre bis hin zur vorzüglichen Küche und dem ausgezeichneten Service bot das Restaurant eine bemerkenswerte kulinarische Erfahrung. Wir waren vor sehr langer Zeit (15 Jahren+ schon mal hier und damals schon ziemlich begeistert von unserem Besuch. Doch der jetzige Aufenthalt im Hotel verbunden mit Restaurant Besuch hat unsere Erwartungen durchaus übertroffen. Zum Hotel: Dieses charmante, kleine Hotel vereint eine idyllische Lage mit einer herzlichen Atmosphäre und exzellentem Service. Die sorgfältig ausgewählten Details, von der eleganten Einrichtung bis hin zu den Blumenarrangements, trugen zur Entspannung und Erholung bei. Das herausragendste Merkmal des Hotels war zweifellos das außergewöhnlich freundliche Serviceteam. Jedes Mitglied des Teams strahlte eine aufrichtige Wärme und Gastfreundschaft aus, die unseren Aufenthalt unvergesslich machte. Sie waren stets aufmerksam und hilfsbereit, und ihre herzliche Art machte uns das Gefühl, Teil einer großen Familie zu sein (klingt kitschig, ist aber so . Ah und dann war noch das Frühstück!! Herrlich! Kein Buffet, aber es gab alles was Herz und Magen begehren und ja, auch hier war der Service einfach perfekt! Schade war es nur, dass wir auf der Durchreise waren und nur eine Nacht geblieben sind! Aber wir werden wieder kommen."

"Finger weg von den Hamburgern. Wie hart soll mein Hamburger Brötchen sein? Ja!!! Noch nie in meinem Leben war es so anstrengend, einen Hamburger zu essen. Das Brötchen, wenn man es so nennen kann! War wie ein Backstein! Glaub nicht, dass der Besitzer seine Hamburger mal selbst getestet hat! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch"

"The owner of the establishment treated our party with such indifference it was almost laughable. He makes absolutely zero attempt at customer service. Our evening at the restaurant consisted of waiting and waiting and more waiting...firstly for our table, then the menus, then our drinks order to be taken, followed by an excrutiating 60 minute wait for food. There was no apology, no attempt at customer service, or interaction from the staff. They simply do not seem to care what you think (probably because the restaurant is already so busy). We were delirious with hunger and everything just seemed to be hard work. It appeared that they were ridiculously short staffed. I am sure there was just one chef who seemed to be rinsing one wok out as she prepared each dish one at a time! When the food came it was very tasty, and delicately flavoured, but I am not sure I would rush back anytime soon."

"Spontaneous visit on Thursday afternoon. We were seated at a high table even though some tables were still free. Shortly after, a group stood up and the lower area was empty. We wanted to move us, the waiter had to look at the reservation book and gave us the smallest table at the corner of a stone wall facade. Food seemed pre cooked, it also came very quickly I think everything is prepared beforehand everything on the menu is probably freshly cooked and takes time. Small portions overpriced. Pasta with too much oil for me, and Kaiserschmarren small portion and a bowl of applesauce 90 cents about 1.5 tablespoons in size. When I asked when paying if you were so full, he said next time he would come with a reservation. I said the shop was half empty, he said the first dinner tables opened at 5 p.m. and I shook my head, it was 3 p.m. Tables stand empty for 2 hours and customers are supposed to be squeezed into a high chair in a corner. I'm never coming back! It used to be a good shop, dear Cafe Augustin."

"Another entry into the list of Things that are Awesome about Austria, in a small town (a suburb of Bregenz, essentially that is part of the eastern Bodensee resort scene. We showed up without a reservation, and were seated in the pleasant garden, the tables far apart to ensure privacy in conversation and discreet movement by the staff, always a good sign in a better restaurant. We were offered a refreshing shot of watermelon juice at the start good, although more usual between dishes in a longer menu. We started with seafood: a superb combination of tuna, greens, and veal (unexpectedly good, and the preparation of the tuna put to shame many establishments supposedly specialising in seafood ; and an octopus based dish, which did not enthral Mr A, who objected to the combination with mussels. (Is this a central European thing? The closer you go to the Mediterranean, the simpler the serving of octopus: it has a delicate flavour, and does not require much done to it. If it had been served as in the other starter, it would be better, he said. For our mains we went for rib eye steaks with chimi churry (sic which we both found excellent: cooked to a perfect medium rare, with just the right amount of bite in the centre too often restaurants do a medium rare with the core of the meat nearly raw, which misses the point: a good medium rare locks the flavour in; if you slice it and too much seeps out, it's not done properly. Mr A declared the accompanying skin on potatoes were very good. I should have asked why the beef was imported from the US; Austria has amazing local beef (the Vorarlberg pastures are just round the corner! . We finished off with a delicate combination of chocolat,e pistachio, and cherries (for myself and an caloric explosion of ice cream and hot chocolate for Mr A. The Merlot recommended was just right for the meat, the espresso was decent, and the service was excellent. The prices are on the expensive side: our three course meal with only two glasses of wine and a soft drink cost as much as I'd expect the same meal with a whole bottle of good wine to cost. But, hey: you get what you pay for, and this was worth it. We'd go again, happily."
