Wallsé

“Outstanding authentic Austrian dining experience. Any assortment of appetizers are great, the Wienerschnitzel is a must. Be sure to get extra lingonberry sauce with it. The duck was also outstanding and cooked perfectly. Desserts were delicious. The wine list has a great array of Austrian wines, try a delicious Gruner Veltliner. Service was impeccable.”

“Truly a special place. The chef and the staff put pride into their work. I have been coming to Wallse for the past 7-8 years, and the quality has been consistent if not better every time I am back. Schnitzel is a must-try item, and you will never regret. I am so glad that I found this place in my life in NYC.”

“Dining at Wallsé was an unforgettable experience that transported me straight to Austria. The authentic Austrian cuisine was nothing short of incredible, making it one of my favorite meals out. Our server was not only friendly but also extremely knowledgeable about the menu, enhancing our experience with insightful recommendations. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Schnitzel, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. As a first-time taster of venison, I was pleasantly surprised by its rich and tender profile, which exceeded my expectations. For dessert, we indulged in two delightful options, but the chocolate tart truly stole the show with its decadent richness. The ambiance was romantic and whimsical, adorned with beautiful art pieces that added to the charm of the evening. A special moment was catching a glimpse of the executive Chef, which made the experience feel even more personal. I left Wallsé with a full heart and a satisfied palate, eagerly looking forward to my next visit!”

“The restaurant week dinner menu (available everyday of the promotional period) was delicious. All the flavors of the dishes were well balanced and refreshing. -Beef was tender with a delicious red wine sauce. -Cod was buttery with a melt in your mouth pastry layer. -You could taste the corn in the chowder and the cream was not overpowering. The crab cake in the dish was a nice complement. -The melon soup and fruits used were refreshingly sweet. The servers are very attentive. The restaurant is very clean and well maintained.”

“Ambiance (5/5): The restaurant is very small with minimal/simplistic decor. There’s a full bar and several small tables nearby. Might be a little tight on seating but it wasn’t busy on the particular early weeknight. Service (5/5): The service is spectacular with constant check-ins throughout our whole dining experience. No complaints. We came for their $60 NYC Restaurant Week 2025 menu. Overall expect small portions but a really great presentation and a blast of different flavors and texture. Watermelon martini – delish! It was made using real watermelon, which we saw being prepared at the bar. Spicy summer corn soup - I really liked the presentation and it was tons of unexpected flavor, tiny bit of spice. Grilled Bavette Steak – The meat was pretty tender although I did not think it had too much taste. The sides of the root and red cabbage were flavored well and complimented the steak. A little underwhelmed by this dish. Salzburger Nockerl – very unique, light, and not overly sweet Perhaps for a place which used to be a Michelin star, I was kinda expecting more. It was operating and felt like a fine dining experience!”
