“The veal entree was terrible. There was no flavor. And there was a hint for freezer burn. The potatoes were a little dry and salty. The bread was hard with no flavor. We would have enjoyed real butter better with a soft fresh bread. In 2023, my husband and I really enjoyed the meal with a beef filet which was very good. We were all 4 disappointed in the entree. The soup and the dessert was very good.”

“Fantastic music, the musicians were amazing! They performed flawlessly- so fun to hear Mozart music after touring his home and birthplace. I do wish it started at 7 pm - mainly older people attending so an 8 pm start is a little late. By the time we walked back to our hotel it was 10 pm - exhausted after a full day!”
