Where is the Best Fine Dining in Austin, Texas?
My boyfriend and I booked a room here for a weekend on priceline and got a great price! The bedding was ridiculously comfortable and there was a great flat screen tv and ipod player/alarm clock. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and very helpful as we were in town for a wedding and needed our clothes to be pressed. the only con was that we thought we were going to be able to walk to 6th street but didn’t want to walk that far (it’s really not that far but there’s a bridge) however, the cab ride wasn’t expensive at all. The pool was really nice as well, i believe it was a saltwater pool and is literally next to the river. I will definitely stay here the next time im in town. Pros + comfort, great staff, poolCons – wakling distance from downtown
If anyone reading gives any regard to goatmaster’s review, then they should go off to live in Fantasy-ville as well. Is this even a serious review? I mean come on, the guy is outraged that the people in the establishment are wearing ‘last-years fashions’ and that his ‘Buffy’ didn’t get to sit where they were accustomed to? What a crybaby, you sit where there is available space. They didn’t mistreat him in any way, and his complaints were absent in what should really be the only two fields to comment on: The food, and the service. No complaints there, huh goatbaby? Well there’s a reason, I’ve been to the establishment and they were both great.I’m personally not a fashion expert. I didn’t attend fashion school, I don’t have personal shoppers and people dressing me every morning, and to be quite honest, I don’t even watch E! So maybe I was one of his complaints. I couldn’t quite tell you what season’s clothes I was wearing. I guess that means I shouldn’t be allowed to eat at a great res
If you want to add a little fun into a dining experience, try fondue! It helps that my colleague had been to other franchises, knew the scoop, and had suggestions for ordering. It’s a good menu selection; and while the portions aren’t huge, the pacing of them, the fondue prep, the dipping, the cooking time, helps the diner moderate consumption – give yourself and your party time to enjoy; you will be satisfied by the end of dessert. We started with the traditional gruyere cheese fondue dipping bread and veggies, followed by the salad, then the main entree (choice meats cooked shabu-shabu style by boiling in broth), and finally the chocolate/marshmallow/oreo cookie fondue. All in all, a satisfying meal, with friendly, helpful service. The chocolate fondue was divine! They offer specials for larger groups. Try something different!Pros + Great food and serviceCons – Need time to dine
The ambience is wonderful, the service is great and the food is excellent. We will go back in a heartbeat. It is so nice to have this quality of restaurant in Austin!The portions are very big. We thoroughly enjoyed everything, although the minestrone is a bit thicker than is classic and had no legumes. The salad dressing and all the sauces were excellent and rich; The boar shanks were so tender they melted in your mouth and the pork chop was thick and juicy with a fabulous marsala sauce. With a bottle of wine and tip (no dessert or coffee) we spent $75, but could have ordered much less and left full.Pros + Great happy hourCons – no parking
The ambiance was magnificent and the prices were appropriate. The beef medallions were wonderful. We received good wine advice and it complemented the meal very well. The music and lighting set a lovely romantic mood. The service had an excellent pace. Everyone was as accommodating as always. I enjoyed every aspect of the evening. Pros + Food, ambiance, service.Cons – Music too low.
