I'm going out on a limb and calling the 'greens' watercress salad, maybe a little flat parsely in there too. I wouldn't have changed the tone of the atmosphere by complaining about the doneness. Honestly, it looked just fine and, as you stated, it was tender and tasty, soooo, what's up with that.... The food and ambiance looked *to be really nice, and what a bargain at $39 for essentially two courses. I'd have chosen the caesar with steak frites, skip the dessert, I'll enjoy a stiff dirty or a nice heavy red, and I'm good. I would applaud this establishment. 👏 👏👏👏👏 ❤

The food & venue is worthy of your praise & I agree with your assessment. While I rarely am interested in desserts since I personally "get fat" eating "seconds" of EVERYTHING ELSE rather than a dessert, your cheesecake was "picture perfect" and had the appearance of what a slice of NY cheesecake should look like!!!!! I certainly would eat that slice of cake if offered to me. Can't wait to view your Austrian food adventure! As always, thank you for sharing! This is Peter M; out!

For me, this video feels like a cautionary tale about steakhouse deals. Nothing particularly wrong with the food/ atmosphere etc but this doesn't look like the quality of food I'd expect at a high end steakhouse. Rather it looks like something you might get at a decent cafeteria. The only thing actually requiring cooking to order was that steak and it was the one thing that they bombed. I could do that entire meal quite easily at home. I suppose with the high cost of prime beef, steakhouses can't include the good stuff in deals. I definitely wouldn't make it a point to go to experience PorterHouse in this way.

Thats a thin steak. Really hard to get a good sear and still be medium rare

Yeah, I’d say for a steak that thin, the doneness is about as medium rare as you can hope for with a solid sear.

That's true.

The steak was overcooked. I would have stopped eating it and sent it back. I have eaten there. Best to go for drinks before dinner and watch the sun set over the park. Vienna is a great town, but friendly? 🤷♂️

Yeah, I bet this restaurant would be great in the evening. For the most part, everyone was friendly to me in Austria.

@@Jamesnu it is. The only problem with going for drinks before and watching the sun set over the park is the tab at the end 😵😵😵😵😵😵

I don't know if you have a cash app or anything. Maybe you should set one up to have people help you pay for all these dinners that you do for us 🙌🏻❤️

Having people just watch my videos is enough for me, but I appreciate the support.

The better deal is get the shrimp and cheesecake, and then add the steak for only 10:bucks.
