| - I have been looking forward to trying this restaurant for some time now, based on the number of positive Yelp reviews, and finally had the chance. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the food and service.
At the table we ordered the Corned Beef Hash breakfast, the Deep Fried Chicken Dinner, and the Villa Vienna Schnitzel. The corned beef hash tasted like it was from a can and not homemade. The fried chicken was not like southern deep-fried chicken, as it was just pieces of boneless and skinless chicken that were breaded and fried, making the chicken dry. In addition the breading was a bit bland. The mash potatoes that accompanied the chicken were also bland, and the vegetables were very salty. The schnitzel was not really pounded as flat as traditional schnitzel, so it was a bit thicker and tougher.
The service was inconsistent. The hostess who greeted us was friendly, but seated us across from the washroom (which did smell), even though the restaurant was half empty. She did move us to a better location.
The waitress was also friendly, but after the food was served, she was difficult to find, so we were waiting for a coffee refill, and I had to seek out another waitress when we were ready for the bill. In addition, during our meal, one of the staff started vacuuming the neighbouring tables and around our table. So, we could not find anyone when we wanted a coffee refill or the bill, but they were there to clean the floors, when we didn't.
