Fodor's Review:

This name translates as "dark star," but the lady who runs the show is a well-known, shining star on the culinary horizon of the city. It takes courage in Vienna to offer a choice of only two three-course menus, but Ella de Silva's success is undeniable. If it's available, try the rabbit with sweet-and-sour lentils or the lamb steak with polenta tomato, zucchini cakes, and red-wine shallot sauce. Opening hours are 5 PM until 1 am; when weather permits there's a lovely seating area outside underneath an old bluebell tree.
