The service was excellent, the guy running the non-smoking section (at least, on weekdays) has one of the best attitudes for a waiter I've seen in Vienna. The food was good, not great. Don't hold back and order your steaks rare - medium-rare won't get you the blood. The fries were too salty, but apart from that I had no complaints.

The non-smoking section is a courtyard lit by daylight (it didn't used to be part of the restaurant proper). I personally prefer the interior, looks-wise, and their air conditioning, is quite good so you can hardly tell it's the smoking section. I may sit there next time.

I forgot to mention they do excellent Thanksgiving dinners, both on Thanksgiving Thursday and on the Friday after that.

We wanted to go to Figlmueller, but both of them had tourists standing in line.

I had a schnitzel, my companion had a steak. The steak was excellent, the schnitzel was nice but it just ain't the same without some mayonnaisesalat - even the best schnitzel just becomes dry and boring on it's own if you ask me.

Service was good if not great. The whole place feels more touristy than other, um, touristy restaurants. Partially this was because, well, it's full of tourists. Partially it's the incessant selling of those damn cookbooks. I own a copy, quit shoving it in my face already.
