Geburstag in Salzburg

Where should I go to splurge on my birthday in Salzburg?
I'd be most interested in going somewhere with local dishes--with a modern twist is ok.
(Sorry if I used the wrong preposition in the headline, my German is nonexistent and Babelfish didn't help)

There was a splendid restaurant that I went to last year, in Augustinerstrasse. Very modern, but local dishes. The restaurant appeared to also be in a shop which sold other things during the day: and you could either eat outdoors or inside.
A quick look on Google Maps (it now includes maps for Salzburg, as of today) doesn't show the restaurant, which is a nuisance; so I suspect I'm not being very helpful.

Best answer: Okay, heard back from my friend -- she says that the restaurant in the Hotel Goldener Hirsch (in Getreidegasse) is the most famous and traditional, and would be a grand birthday splurge.

OK, it was back in 87 when I was there, but the Augustinerbrau beer garden was a delight.

Response by poster: Thanks, Scody! Mimi, I'll be there a few days, so I'll check out the beer garden on another night.

Sachertorte at the Hotel Sacher (overlooks the river) would count as splurging and local... not modern though. Their cocktails are lovely as well.
