Schilling Restaurant & Bar

Came here for lunch on a Monday (around 1pm) and was able to walk in without needing reservation. We got the schnitzel (tried pork and chicken) and also the apple schtrudel, they were all delicious! The schnitzels also came with 3 sides, so it was a good amount of food even if you are very hungry. I also loved the vibe of this space. I will definitely be back for dinner!

Excellent menu that changes seasonally, great tasting Austrian fare with a twist. We were there for an 8pm reservation for 3 on a Thursday evening. The place was bustling, so it took about 10+ minutes to get seated. The service staff was wonderful and even the chef was clearing out tables. The ambiance was great; A couple of blocks down from the 9/11 memorial and the Oculus, Schilling is housed in what seems like a carriage house of 1920s NYC, with interesting industrial touches and curious decor. There’s outdoor enclosed plus sidewalk tables plus the street wall is actually a large glass garage door that was closed for the cold. Looking forward to returning when in FiDi.

Came here twice in two weeks, both for work dinners. I love the ambience, it’s so homey. Service is also very attentive. Had schnitzel first time then burger. Schnitzel was good but made me realize I don’t think I have the palette for Austrian good. Switched to burger the second time and it was a winner.

Also, Brussel sprouts. Get them. Trust me

Fun spot in FiDi with very good vibes. I showed up at 6 on a Thursday and was seated immediately. Our hostess (was also working the bar) was extremely nice and was very helpful with the menu. I had the pork schnitzel and it was good. The breading didn’t really stick too well but it was still good!

I visited this resturant with a friend of mine who is a huge fan of Austurian cuisine. We came here to try both schnitzel and apple strudel. Additionally, we ordered trout rilettes after getting a recommendation from our waitress.

Unfortunately, this food was below my expectations. First, the trout rilettes were so salty that we could not finish. The schnitzel was not crispy enough. The only thing we liked was the desert.

However, the ambiance is pretty good. You can have a nice time with your friends. Another note for the resturant is that they should find a solution for the outside door. It keeps banging and is quite annoying for the people having food inside.
