What To Expect
Sound Of Vienna
Begin your evening with dinner at the Restaurant Johann inside the beautiful Kursalon Vienna concert hall. Sit down to a gourmet 4-course dinner of seasonal Viennese dishes amid the exquisite surroundings of one of Vienna’s most famous and historic concert venues. (See Sample Menu below.) It was here that the waltz was popularized in the 19th century thanks to Viennese composer Johann Strauss. Performing dances and concerts regularly, the venue soon became a popular meeting place for Viennese society to enjoy music and savor the joie de vivre. Still preserving its historical roots, the Kursalon now has a modern flair, with four spectacular ballrooms on two floors and a spacious terrace with views over Stadtpark. After dinner, you’ll be escorted to your seat in Lanner Hall for the Salonorchester Alt Wien concert, one of today’s best-known interpreters of classical Viennese music. Savor the lilting sound of waltzes, polkas, arias and duets, as well as operetta and piano concerto melodies accompanied by opera vocalists and ballet soloists. Revel in the performances of Strauss’ ‘Voices of Spring,’ ‘Roses from the South, ‘The Sigh Galop,’ ‘A Little Night Music’ and ‘On the Beautiful Blue Danube,' and Mozart’s ‘Rondo alla Turca’ and the overture to the opera Le Nozze di Figaro. Be enchanted by Strauss' 'My Lord Marquis' from The Bat operetta and 'Entree Zsupan' from The Gypsy Baron operetta, as well as Johann Schrammel’s ‘Vienna remains Vienna' and many more pieces from Viennese musicians throughout the centuries. If you've booked the first two rows with your VIP ticket, enjoy a glass of sparkling wine during the interval, and take home a Johann Strauss CD with your Kursalon Orchestra program. -------------------- ITINERARY -------------------- Sample Menu: April – May First course (choose one): • Viennese tafelspitz (boiled beef in broth) with Styrian beans and apple vinaigrette • Mousse of smoked trout with cucumber crème fraicheSecond course (choose one): • White cream of asparagus • Beef consommé with wild garlic dumplingsMain course (choose one): • Grilled fillet of salmon with asparagus-parsley risotto and crème fraiche sauce • Roast rump of veal with spring onion purée and glazed broccoliDessert (choose one): • Vanilla panna cotta with rhubarb and mint • 'Kaiserschmarrn' tartlet with plum sauceJune – July First course (choose one): • Thin sliced Viennese tafelspitz with chive sauce, pumpkin seed oil and green salad • Smoked trout in a mousseline sauce and Parmesan quiche of young onionsSecond course (choose one): • Cream of potatoes with parsley pesto • Beef consommé with semolina dumplingMain course (choose one): • Grilled fillet of salmon on thyme-zucchini risotto with lemon foam • Roast rump of veal on young onion polenta with sautéed Brussels sproutsDessert (choose one): • Mousse of elderflower with fresh strawberries • Mango tartletAugust – September First course (choose one): • Original Austrian beef salad with pumpkin seed oil vinaigrette • Mousse of Austrian char with creamy zucchini-dill saladSecond course (choose one): • Carrot cream with dill crème fraiche • Beef consommé with chive-batter dropsMain course (choose one): • Grilled fillet of salmon with a spinach feta soufflé, rosemary potatoes and pumpkin ragout • Roast rump of veal with olive purée and steamed carrotsDessert (choose one): • Cappuccino with Mascarpone and cranberry jelly • Homemade pear tart with cinnamon yogurtOctober – December First course (choose one): • Carpaccio of Viennese tafelspitz on seasonal winter leaf lettuce and apple confit • Filet of Austrian sheatfish with parsnip-salsify saladSecond course (choose one): • Pumpkin soup with pumpkin seed oil • Beef consommé with liver dumplingsMain course (choose one): • Grilled fillet of salmon on risotto of red turnip and wasabi foam • Roast rump of veal with tomato gnocchi and sautéed beansDessert (choose one): • Mousse of Styrian apple with yogurt and a cinnamon crumble • Tiramisu of Viennese mélange with foamy egg liqueur

1.00Let me start off with the dinner experience. Now let me tell you that I spent about $540 for the VIP treatment for 3 people. BIG MISTAKE. Front desk gives us the programs, 2 CDs (now I need to unearth my CD player which is tucked away in the attic or basement), and 3 drink vouchers. We stand on the long line and when it is our turn the lady asks for the voucher. What voucher, I never got one. She says no voucher no eating. So I go back to the front desk and after a few minutes they give me the voucher. When I tell them I have to go to the back of the line again, I am told, "Well enjoy this place since it will be torn down in 2 years!". Still had to wait on line. Once seated, we waited a good 20 minutes for the server to take our order, another 15 minutes for the soup and wine to arrive. I ordered a squash soup. Must say the Panera soup is way better since this one was too watery, so I asked the waitress for some bread, and she replies: "Oh no we only have bread for those people who got the 4 course meal you got the 3 courses!" and walks away. Must say that bread refusal for my watery squash did not feel good! Then after another 15 minutes the main courses came, I got duck which was not bad. Then came the desert and we ordered 3 expressos to go with it. Once done they tell us that we can do to the "Concert Hall". Since I already paid for the dinner and concert, got the drink vouchers, and never got a bill or was told to pay for anything, I thought that I was all paid up! Insomuch when the lady who seated us asks if we paid, I said yes of course and proceeded to go to the concert hall. Once seated and yes since we were "VIP" status we did sit in the front row, however, we were asked to keep moving further down the row of seats until we could go no further by the drafty large window. The Concert Hall was a large, white, bright room with a makeshift stage covered in a red-worn-torn-cloth next to the dining area and not in the historical building. There must have been about a 100 or more people sitting tightly together waiting for the concert to begin. I was ready for the show! Within my readiness the lady who seated us and our waitress comes to where I am sitting by the drafty window surrounded by the other guests and loudly states, "You said you paid but you didn't you owe 35 euros!!" Flips the credit card machine to my direction and waits for my credit card to be inserted. I tell her I have the drink vouchers and she says that those are for the intermission. How am I suppose to know!!! No one informed me that I had to pay!!! I pay she leaves, I sulk. After a few deep breaths, positive affirmations, and reassuring myself that I will make in life, I enjoy the music and dancing. Would I pay this money for this experience again, the answer is NO! Was the dinner and the accompanying dinner experience worth it, the answer is NO! Did I enjoy the public display in the Concert Hall, the answer is NO! Did I like the music and dancing, the answer is YES, but would have enjoyed it more if there was an open communication and no public display.
This was a fun evening...

1.00Terrrible experience. Restaurant is bad , slow and we were locked for 2.5 hours there. The room for concert old, dilapidated and decor was dusty. The performance resembled school soirée - cheap costumes and bad artists.
Excellent Music but Terrible Food Service

3.00The live music was absolutely phenomenal and created a great atmosphere. However, the food service was a major disappointment. The food arrived cold, and the wait staff seemed to forget about us entirely. To make matters worse, they brought us the bill before even serving our final course. This lack of attention and care significantly diminished our overall experience. I would recommend this venue only for the music, but the dining experience leaves much to be desired.
Must do this at least once in Vienna.

5.00The meal was very good. The musicians were awesome and the female singer also. I felt the male singer could have been better. The dancers took away from the musicians and were superfluous to requirements. Some of the audience were so rude disobeying the ushers instructions not to film, etc.
