Reviews

A very nice quant restaurant. Don't wait for the upstairs, go to the basement and witness a true European feel. It's cozy, and tight, but wonderful. The food is excellent and not badly priced. It is NYC! But be prepared to wait in any instance. We would go back just for the food. The museum is wonderful as well.Food: 5/5

At the risk of disclosing my age, I have been a patron of this place since it opened. Never fond of the service kept coming back because there is nothing else in the area. On this last visit on January 2023, I was taken aback by a waiter who took his time to bring the menu, never greeted me at all, as he did to both customers seated on either side. After paying cash, brought back loose bills and change without a holder that he plopped on the table without saying thank you, with no receipt- to add insult to his lack of manners, he shortchanged me. It seems he mistook me for a naive elderly tourist. Noticing I was missing money I had  to call the manager to explain that the change was incorrect. Apparently arithmetic is not a requirement to work there, but finally they realized I was owed money; but what they really owed me was an apology for having a server that chooses who amongst his customers will be his mark.

I was a bit put off by the security that, among other things, didn’t permit me to bring in a bottle of water. I realize it’s a museum but I was just going into the cafe and even if it didn’t feel unnecessarily strict, the men at the door and desk were very taciturn. Cafe Sabarsky was a beautiful room and while there wouldn’t have been much of a wait, we went downstairs to Cafe Fledermaus where it’s much more informal. The food was very well presented and enjoyable.

An authentic... Austro-American experience. The decor is very nice, and the cakes/coffee options make you feel like you're in Vienna. However, having your plate taken away as soon as you finish despite it not being busy at all, and the default/middle tip option of 22% ! are there to remind you that you're definitely not there to lay back and enjoy a slice of Austrian relaxation. Very funny/sad experience, depending on your point of view.

We went to the basement cafe to avoid the long line upstairs at the normal cafe. There was no line but the waiters told my mom and me to wait on a bench ten feet from the cafe entrance.  All of the waiters forgot about us and about ten min later a couple asked for a table for two and the waiters tried to seat them right away! I went up and told them we’d been waiting where they told us to and the table was ours. The waiters all seemed confused, didn’t recognize us from the few minutes before, and tried to tell us we had to wait again. The guy from the couple even tried to yell at me though the woman understood what was going on. After that, the table we were at forced us to have  woman hacking and coughing next to us our entire meal and talking about how sick she’s been all week. The food was good. Soup is delicious but ridiculously overpriced. The waitress barely bothered to stop to take our order or give us the receipt. Plus she told us she’d bring extra silverware since we split a dish and she didn’t bring the extra set out. Keep in mind there are very few tables in this cafe and plenty of waiters. Will order to go next time to avoid the germ-ridden customers and poor service, when I feel like spending $50 for a soup and entree.  Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp at museum entrance and elevator to basement.

Cozy Austrian cafe. European style. Not that many vegan options. The warm pretzel is very good.

Amazing place to be ! If you want to have a real Austrian/German high quality food you have to go there! Best place for this food in New York Try the Schnitzel… it’s better than in Austria

Nice Location next to the MET, if you enjoy Austrian kitchen - enjoy it! Security should not hinder you to go in in.

After a day spent at the Gugenheim, I had lunch and pasteries here. Delicious and I loved the glossy decor.

We enjoyed a great lunch here ... smoked trout crepes and rhubarb mousse cake for dessert ... excellent!
