It's not something you can't miss.

3.00The restaurant is decorated in a common style, nothing that reminded us that we were in a castle. The food served was average, nothing exceptional. As for the concert, we could practically only hear it, as we were at the back of the room and the musicians weren't in a prominent location, high enough for everyone to see them.
Wonderful evening

4.00Very nice event with dinner and concert. Dinner was tasty and portions were very adequate knot too much). Drink prices were fair. Concert and musicians were very good with well known classical pieces ex. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. Best part was the regional Christmas music at the end. Great atmosphere in the concert room. Would recommend it.
Disappointed

3.00Dinner was fine, the concert was not Christmas or advent music really - it could have been so much more upbeat for tourist who were visiting the Christmas market. Many left the concert part way through and others were on their phones scrolling. I felt we had wasted an evening in Salzburg to be honest. It wasn’t for us and I wouldn’t do it again.
A wonderful holiday excursion

Very disappointing dinner

2.00The meal was extremely disappointing. The main course was tough, gristly meat, which the 4 of us had to leave. The soup was satisfactory. The desert was also left as extremely unappealing. The Mozart concert was lovely of a very high standard and enjoyable.
