Hidden among the many Michelin Starred restaurants along the 50’s in Midtown West is Seasonal Restaurant and Weinbar. Theater goers and cultivated diners can enjoy the awesome modern Austrian cuisine of this one starred Michelin restaurant located on West 58th Street.

The restaurant’s interior has a contemporary and simplistic décor. When diners enter they are immediately greeted by the hostess podium, from there the hostess seats diners at their table or at the bar. The space is long and narrow and its white walls are adorned with paintings by German and Austrian artists. The art work is rotated every season (just like the menu.) A curved bar situated in the middle of the restaurant is complemented by white leather high chairs. Meanwhile, across from the bar the uncovered tables and dark brown leather clad banquets create a sophisticated and intimate atmosphere. The busy kitchen can be seen in the rear when diners visit the lavatory.

 

 

The Executive Chef duo of Wolfgang Ban and Eduard Frauneder combine for a brilliant interpretation of modern Austrian cuisine, some of the tastiest food I’ve eaten. As a new comer to food from this region the taste was a pleasant surprise to my palate. Austrian food mainly consists of meat and poultry since Austria is land locked and access to sea food is limited. For appetizers I tried the Pochiertes Ei (recommended by our server) – soft poached egg, lobster, hen of the woods and pumpernickel; and the Kalbsbries – veal sweetbread, shallots, sherry vinegar and sorrel. They were both very delicious but the Pochiertes Ei really stood out. The poached egg, lobster and the hen blended perfectly! The entrees I’ve tasted were the Enterbrust – an Austrian duck dish and the Tafelspitz – flat iron, oxtail consommé, apple – horseradish, spinach and rösti. The duck dish was very delicious and flavorful and its texture was amazing. Although I did not share the same excitement as I had with the duck dish, nevertheless the Tafelspitz was also very good. The veal was cooked to a new level of perfection. Of the deserts, I’ve had the Kaiserschmarrn – crumbled caramelized pancakes and apple compote; and the Bavarian Cream, both desserts were delicious. The restaurant has a vast array of Austrian wines that pair well with the food. The Lagler, Burgberg white wine was especially impressive with its nice fruity and citrusy taste.

 

 

 

 

My experience at Seasonal Restaurant and Weinbar has always been great. From my first visit for dinner, the service and the staff have always been very good and accommodating. On one occasion I even met Excutive Chef Wolfgang Ban, he came into the dining room and greeted each guest. I thanked him for the wonderful meal.

Seasonal Restaurant and Weinbar is a great restaurant that serves very tasty and exquisite food along with Austrian wines that complement the flavor of the foods. The restaurant is ideal for pre and post theater dinner or just to enjoy a phenomenal meal and a great atmosphere. Seasonal Restaurant and Weinbar definitely holds its own among the great Michelin starred restaurants in the area. I can’t wait to go back!!!!
