Steakeria - Klagenfurt am Wörthersee

The place has a romantic atmosphere and good food - i ate steak and salad and i recommend it, The staff was also very friendly. Prices are ok.

“Steakeria” is an imaginatively styled restaurant decorated with vintage finds. This creates a great atmosphere. However, another kind of atmosphere at this place, namely the air to breath, is poor. Unbelievably, at this one-room restaurant smoking is still allowed! Even the senior waiter smokes publicly here. Actually, “Steakeria” seems to flounder between being a bar and a restaurant.Another identity issue concerns the kinds of cuisine practiced at this place. In contrast to its name, pizza and Italian pasta dishes play a more prominent part at the menu than steaks, while the remaining main courses are some seafood dishes and salads.Service provided by a friendly and humorous waiter was swift and we did not have to wait long for our meals either, although the restaurant was full. The grilled calamari we had were impeccable and the pizza was quite good too. We appreciated the good value for money, given that the prices of food and beverages were low for an inner city restaurant and that the portions were of decent size.

Slightly snotty staff was offset by excellent starter and main course (filet steak), but inordinate wait for mediocre dessert dropped it from a very good. Went back for pizza another night. Same again excellent food.

Was on a business trip, working in the Holzmesse (2016-09-03). Was with a US colleague, searching for a restaurant on Saturday night and found this place. Lots of people so we decided this must be an OK place. Staff were busy so nobody did receive us or show us to a table. We saw a free table so we sat down. After a long wait the waiter "Roland" (according to the bill) came up and took our order for drinks. He also said that they had no menu in English and spoke only German to us. Said food would be a minimum one hour wait, starters 30 minutes. We accepted this and ordered. At the table behind us, a group of four arrives, ordered and got their food before us...It didn't take an hour but say 45 minutes even so people were dropping off. In the mean time, a very nice waitress recommended and served us a bottle of wine. Even brought a sip to taste it, great. It was good service so she saved the evening somehow. After this long wait for food whilst seeing others get served before we got ready to leave and then Roland informed us that "service is not included"...in English. Asking for tips after ignoring us basically. As a summary; nice place, nice atmosphere and relatively good food, one nice waitress at least, but the other waiters should go find something else to do in my opinion. We were the only people ignored so I can't really see what we had done wrong and nobody informed us, hence the low score.

I had the pork ribs, delicious and a generous serving for the price. With salad and a giant potato and sour cream. The local Pilsener beer was tasty and cold.
