"We were booked here on the Thursday evening of our stay, when the hotel at which we were staying had their staff night off. It wasn't our first choice but as the restaurant we originally sought had no availability, this was next choice.We arrived early to have a drink before the meal. The restaurant is part of the hotel of the same name. The seating area is all inside and extends back a long way so can accommodate a lot of diners. The decor is the usual bare wood but very attractive nevertheless. The drinks came as something of a surprise. Not just the prices but how they are served. I am a big fan of gins and saw a couple I would like to try. One was a German Monkey 47 gin. I ordered but discovered that they *only* sell spirits with tonics, not on their own. Not only that but if you do ask for a drink served neat, you were still expected to pay for the tonic you didn't want! In the event the cost was over 22 Euros for what would be a double, and it really wasn't anything special! I didn't try another. A disappointing start.Our table for the evening was in the glass conservatory attached to the front of the building. It was very comfortable and warm, with an interesting view of the piste bashers at work whilst we ate.We asked for a copy of the wine menu. Leafing through it the one thing that stood out was the eye-watering prices. There was nothing that could be called economically priced. They clearly take their wine cellar seriously. We did eventually find a Puglia Torcicoda Primitivo that was excellent though, at over 44 Euros, not exactly good value for money. I have tasted other similar Puglia wines that were every bit as good but much less expensive, even at restaurant prices.We decided to start with a shared dish of cheese and parma ham, supposedly with capers, though what was delivered was served with gherkins instead; probably more appropriate. Very enjoyable and more than enough for two. Just as well we hadn't ordered one each!For our main course we both ordered Tiroler Gröstl, which is a sort of Austrian version of the French Tartiflette but with beef instead of bacon. It is also served in an individual frying pan. It was excellent and the beef alternative was a nice change. The quantity was mountainous; there was no way we could have finished it all, even if we had not had a starter.For dessert we had an Apple Strudel and a Lava Cake. Both were very tasty. We were offered a complimentary Apple Schnapps to go with a coffee. I declined the coffee.So, a mixed evening overall. The food could not be faulted but at a total of around 150 Euros for the two of us, hardly good value. However, it was the drinks that added a hefty line to the bill; without those it would have come in more reasonably. Were we to return to St Christoph, we probably wouldn't eat here again. If you have a fat wallet you may wish to try it. You will enjoy the experience, until you come to pay."
