Profile
This venue is closed.
The elaborate Klimtian setting is still one of the prettiest restaurant dining venues in town, and it no doubt had an intoxicating effect on the Michelin judges, who honored David Bouley’s Austrian restaurant with two stars. So did the unquestionable quality of J. D. Hilburn’s near-perfect schnitzel. But the worn, unchanging menu, the spotty service, and the perennially drab expense-account crowd make the whole production feel frozen in time, like some dated bull-market Valhalla.

I enjoyed my meal at Danube. The wienerschnitzel with lingonberries was well cooked; the chocolate souffle reminded me of why I like chocolate. The seafood was fresh, the wine selection as unique as the menu options. Still. . . Maybe it was because Danube is closing this year, but there was little spirit to the restaurant. The couch-seating was a bit shabby, and the waiters seemed tired, distracted, bored. The artwork was lovely--our guest of honor was pleased--and the table was elegant. But no spirit. To be expected, but too bad, because, like I said, I enjoyed my meal at Danube. (Word to the wise: know your audience, if you choose Danube. A steakhouse, it is not.)

whenever we are in nyc we stop by danube as it has one of the best white wine selections on the east coast. the manager is very accomodating. the only alternative for austrian cuisine would be to go to austria.
