Four of us at a business dinner. Amazing super vibe. Really nice friendly and knowledgable staff. Food is exceptionally nice. The steak as recommended by the kitchen was perfect. The salads especially the burrata was really really fresh. The sides were very nice as well. Absolutely recommend anytime.

Dined here our first night in Vienna.

Seated inside which was lovely, I'd recommend an outside table for a more casual, and relaxed ambience - book ahead.

I was recommended the 300g flank steak, to my surprise. Generally regarded as a cheaper cut, I hope the waiter's primary intention wasn't a healthier profit. Ordered that with a mushroom sauce. Fiancée got the filet, with a chimichurri sauce. Also ordered the hand cut fries and grilled vegetables. We each had a glass of Viennese pinot noir.

We both found it odd to be charged for sides and, particularly sauces, when you're paying upwards of 35 euro per steak.

Complimentary cheese bread and butter is provided first up, nice enough.

Next, your knife selection. More novelty than anything - but a nice touch.

Flank steak - Ordered medium rare, closer to medium. A little chewy to start off with, finished up nicely with some nice rendered fat - pleasant. Mushroom sauce was lovely and saved it.

Filet - Ordered medium rare, closer to medium. Chimichurri sauce was amazing.

I'd personally recommend ordering rare if you're after medium rare, and so forth.

Grilled vegetables and chips - Chips were nice, could have used more crunch - tasted like back home. Vegetables were okay, grilled vegetables, whilst simple, can be really brilliant - these were around par, the minimum you'd expect.

Lastly, dessert.

We had a big lunch, and dessert that accompanied that so we kept things relatively modest. The baked cheesecake was highly recommended by the waiter. Served with some cream on top and a single raspberry. Smooth, light - but nothing overly special to be highly recommended. Just a cheesecake. A nice coulis, or some acidity would take this to the next level and really lift it.

Generous 4, closer to a 3 star than a 5 star, unfortunately. Expensive (we're from Melbourne, and found this pricey when compared to the best steakhouses here), and nothing overly special for the premium you pay.

Dear guest,

thank you for taking the time in writing such a detailed feedback. I read it with great interest and want to tell you right away that we take your suggestions and contractive criticism very seriously.
We need those feedbacks in order to be able to continuously improve ourselves as a host.
I am happy to hear that we met your taste with the ambience and general atmosphere of our restaurant. However, I regret that you were not too pleased with the steak temperatures. Also that we didn't meet your taste with the vegetables and the hand cut fries is regrettable to read, helpful though in order to share the feedback with our kitchen team.

If you will be back to Vienna we would be delighted to welcoming you once again as our guest in order to fully convince you then of our offer and our restaurant in general.

Best regards from Vienna

Dined here with my husband and young child. They have a kids menu, I sampled some of the food and it was really quite good - no seasoning which was great as baby isn't 1 yet. They had a small matchbox car for him to play with (which he loved), colouring and pencils, I suspect this level of welcome is due to its association with the Ritz.

Starters and mains were both delicious, a large selection of cocktails seems to be available but only a few are listed on the menu. We sat outside on a summers evening which was delightful. Wait staff were all very friendly and diligent.

We had dinner at Dstrikt on our last night in Vienna. Our waitperson was attentive however can be improved, eg. "What?" was not quite appropriate as a clarification question. We were presented with a selection of steak knives. If you want sauce with your steak, you must pay, a bit rich in my opinion. I think sauce should be included in the price.

Last weekend me and my boyfriend went to Distrikt for a nice dinner out and the place was a total success for the night.
To start the appetitive drinks list was short but two out of four by experience were perfectly prepared and balanced. (Little delayed but totally worth the wait). For dinner we had the chateaubriand cut for two which came to the table perfectly cooked and juicy along with really good sauces for the side. (I would go for chimi churri over and over again)
And finally don't forget dessert, after a heavy meal usually you would decide to skip it but if you can squeeze some of it you won't regret it.
