Soak up Austrian music and cuisine with a gourmet dinner and 2-hour concert at the Kursalon Vienna. Begin your evening with four courses of authentic fare at the Restaurant Johann inside the stunning Kursalon Vienna. After dinner, make your way to your seat in Lanner Hall for a performance of classical masterpieces from Mozart and Strauss, accompanied by ballet dancers and opera singers.
Please note that in 2021 the Dinner cannot take place in our in-house restaurant. We will make a reservation for you in one of our partner restaurants (less than 10 minutes walking distance from our venue).

This was a combination dinner, which was quite good, and a Strauss/Mozart concert. A great opening night to our vacation in Vienna. Good music with a personable conductor. With a VIP package our seats were in front which made it more enjoyable. The singers and dancers added even more personality to the evening. A good choice for us.

We with my husband went to Vienna to celebrate his big birthday, we both like classical music and booked this concert with dinner. Concert was wonderful and unforgetable, but it was ruined by dinner. It was advertised with pictures and we understood (not only us) that dinner will be served at the same premises. Unfortunately, when we arrived 15 min before the start we were told that we need to go to the restaurant , which was 7 min walk. We went to the restaurant and had to wait outside in the cold, because it was closed until 6 pm. Customer service was very poor, we did not get free glass of sparkling wine as advertised, and food was less then average. If we knew that they send us to such restaurant, we would never book it with dinner.
Really disappointing

After searching for a concert we found this one. From all the experience we choose this because it had the best reviews. The site is fitting.

The concert was very enjoyable - a varied programme with an accomplished salon orchestra , opera singers and ballet dancers. It was exactly what we were expecting and the venue is historic and impressive. We paid extra for seats in block A, near the front, and as we went up to the concert hall about 30minutes before the start time, we were given good seats in the third row (rows 1 & 2 are for those who pay even more!)
We were, however, extremely disappointed by the three course meal for which we had paid a considerable extra sum: the food was nicely presented but very underwhelming for what is advertised as a gourmet meal. The portions were very small - for example, a tiny bowl of soup or consomme as a first course. We noticed that people on some other tables were given bread rolls and asked if we could have some - but apparently this was not included in our menu. I chose Tafelspitz which consisted of two small slices of meat and about a teaspoonful each of pan fried potatoes and spinach. For dessert - which was described in English as "apricot dumplings" (sic), we were served with one small dumpling.
The service was also very poor for such a prestigious meal: We ordered a bottle of white wine to share between three of us, and also a glass of red wine to accompany the beef dish. This was forgotten, and, by the time we were able to ask again, my son had finished his small plate of Tafelspitz. The service was rushed between the first and second courses, then there was an extremely long delay before the dessert was served. There was then another long delay before we were able to ask for the bill - in the meantime we were not asked if we would like coffee or anything else.
When what appeared to be the head waiter arrived, we explained the reasons why we were disappointed and that the menu was inaccurate - at least in respect of the incorrect plural in the English translation. He made a show of listening and wrote down some details on the back of the bill . He explained the poor service by saying the staff were new. He did not otherwise apologise. After I paid by card for the bottle of wine we had had, he left behind the paper on which he had made the note of our complaints! We surmise that people attending the concert are likely to be doing so just once ever while visiting Vienna and that the venue is therefore not worried that they won't come back if they don't enjoy the experience.
This experience definitely spoiled the first part of our evening and, if we had known in advance, we would have preferred to eat elsewhere before the concert -we would probably have pIaid significantly less, had more choice and more generous portions
Our advice would therefore be to avoid the meal and just attend the concert.

The concert included an enjoyable mix of singing, dance and humorous elements, all well-performed. The dinner was good, although the menu options limited. Would definitely recommend a night at the Kursalon.

Dinner was okay. Concert excellent. Not sure about the ballet pieces but the musicians were really good.

The concert was very nice. But during the meal, the server forgot our glass of wine and then wanted to charge us for 2 glasses.

We did not do the dinner, but the show was fantastic. We paid a little extra to get VIP seating and it was well worth it.
A reasonably small group of musicians, but when they start up the sound is fabulous. During the course of the show dancers and singers appear. It really adds to the experience. When they break into the Blue Danube waltz .... you KNOW you are in Vienna. I normally do not see things twice, but when I am back in Vienna, I will see this show again!
If you are checking a coat, it would behoove you to get downstairs quickly as the line is long. There is also an elevator for people who need a little help.

Great food in a lovely setting, followed by an enjoyable classical orchestra with opera and dancing.

This was the last night of our trip to Vienna for my special birthday and sadly was a major disappointment. We had booked dinner in advance in the in-house restaurant; big mistake! There was no atmosphere or ambiance - it was like eating in a school canteen. We were not given the opportunity to order drinks, or indeed given any attention at all for about 40 minutes. Our food and drinks order was then taken together. The starters offered a choice of 2 soups only; not very imaginative and proved to be tepid at best. There was a long wait between courses as some tables were on a 4 course meal and others on three and trying to order any additional drinks, or get any service in between, was impossible. Worse was to come - we opted for the beef main course (again two choices - the other was salmon). The whole meal was cold, with the so-called creamy brussels sprouts like bullets. We only ate the meat, which was just about edible but certainly not enjoyable. We did advise the waitress that the dinner was inedible; she said they could warm it up if we wanted. However having worked in catering, this means microwave at best and the worst - well we won't go there! Dessert was little better and the mousse tasted very commercial. We weren't offered the option of ordering coffee. So feeling totally underwhelmed, we made our way to the concert. This was in fact very good, but sadly our dinner experience tainted the whole evening. In addition, our tickets stated no interval, but there was one. Regrettably the rush to the bar then made getting further drinks futile; if we had known this was going to happen, we could have perhaps had ordered in advance. Overall a disappointing end to our trip. Sorry Vienna, but Slazburg did this soooo much better!
