What our guests are saying

Clarity Restaurant is a gem in Vienna. The food was exceptional from start to finish. I had the lamb chops, which I don’t usually order, but our server confidently recommended it and reassured me that it would not be gamey…and she was absolutely correct. I’m so glad I listened. They were absolutely delicious and honestly unforgettable; I’m still thinking about them. My husband ordered the steak medium rare. It came out closer to medium, but he said he still enjoyed it. The wine recommendations were spot on and paired beautifully with our meals. The ambiance is casual and quaint, making it a great place for a relaxed but elevated food experience. Also, the service was just the right touch of attentive, knowledgeable, and we’ll definitely be back.

Loved our dinner! We started with French onion soup (see pic) and mushroom soup. Both were piping hot and excellent for a cold winter evening. We both had the burger without the bun. The meat was hand-ground for better "mouth feel" Also the happy hour red wine was a GSM and an excellent complement to the burger. Staff was excellent and Chef Danny came over to say hi. Overall, it was a great dinner. We'll be back.

The ambiance from when we first walked in the door of Clarity Restaurant in Vienna was the beginning of an outstanding dining experience. We were led to the Chef’s Table and were able to witness Executive Chef Danny Ahn’s amazing talents. Chef Danny’s service team were on point and the kitchen staff, Servers and bar staff worked seamlessly on a busy Friday evening. I would highly recommend the French Onion Soup, the succulent pork belly and you do not want to miss out on the foie gras with the pear and fig compote!! Thank you Chef Danny and all at Clarity for a perfect night!
