My party of four, visiting from out of state, came and dined for a birthday. Hands down one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The hostesses, our server Oliver, the sommelier, and other team members made this a truly unforgettable experience. We started with a oyster course, which the three others in my party enjoyed, a soup/salad course, in which I got Lobster Soup, and I cannot recommend more. For an entrée, I had the Backhandel which is a traditional dish with a crispy chicken, lemon, and white asparagus. We were fortunate to be in the peak season of white asparagus and I wish I could have it again. Finally they gave us a pancake like dessert, which we ordered. and a free Apple Strudel for the birthday. Both desserts blew my socks off. For the drinks I had a cocktail and we ordered a bottle of white wine. The Level 3 sommelier that had in house recommended the most wonderful bottle of wine that was under $100. He truly amazed me as he wanted to emphasize good wine doesnt have to be expensive and he was not wrong. I can see why they had a michelin star from 2006 to 2022. I strongly believe they should have never lost it. If you get the chance to dine at Wallse you will not be disappointed. Getting to try Austrian fine dining was so different than the italian fine dining you see all over the city. Definitely should be on your list.

I left countless emails and phone messages to make a reservation for a large group. No one has ever returned my messages. Business must be good. I’ll pass

Ausgezeichnet! Excellent scallop, veal and really most everything we had was very fine. Terrific wines and schnapps and a comfy room. My schnitzel was sublime w the classic upstate N.Y. (aka German) potato salad.

Very small portions but I got the duck and this was so perfectly cooked. I would say one of the best duck I ever had. They also have a great wine selection and our server was very nice.

We arrived a bit early for our 7pm reservation and were taken to our table fairly quickly. The staff were all very friendly, informative on the menu, and professional. The aesthetics are lovey; including the fresh flowers in the window still, bathrooms and all the dining room tables. The food was excellent. My mom loved the grapefruit Austrian beer & I enjoyed one of the Austrian dry white wines in the photo. The butternut squash soup is a must & dairy free (made of coconut milk). My mom & sister got the organic chicken and I got the cod, which was cooked perfectly & the sauces & veggies paired so well with it. The atmosphere is not too quiet and not too loud, just right. Would definitely return to bring friends here and try some other items on the menu!
Disappointed in the Christmas goose. Very small portion and fatty. Will make my own roast goose next year.

I have had better food at the Frankfurt airport on a layover. Cold sterileSetting. Uncomfortable seating. Lackluster service that was inattentive (my cocktail order came out midway through main course!?!). All in all a poor experience. Would rather have stayed home.
