My coworkers and I were in town for team training and staying at the AC Hotel next door. The Otis, which is the hotel that Acre 41 is located in, is connected to our hotel so we came here several times during our stay. Both for breakfast and late night drinks. The service was adequate and the food was not bad at all. read more

Overall this is a nice classy hotel restaurant for steaks and similar dishes. There was a group of 6 of us. We order a number of appts and salads which were good. Although, our main dishes took a very long time to come out and 3 out of 6 of the steaks were cold. They took them back to heat them back up... bit embarrassing of an experience. I ordered the Arce style Filet which comes with lumb crab and the crab pieces were sooo tiny. Super small portion, very disappointing... I wouldnt even say the dish comes with crab (references pictures). Overall, i wouldn't recommend or come back to this place but hopefully my friends and I just had an isolated bad experience. read more

We heard so many great things about Acre 41, so we decided to give it a try for the dinner portion of date night. Upon walking in, we were not greeted. Like at all. The hostess looked at us then proceeded having a conversation with another worker there. We waited patiently until another couple (white) came in and they were instantly greeted and asked if they had a reservation. That's when it dawned on me and I asked if this was a whites only establishment as we must have missed the sign. The other worker she was talking to earlier appeared embarrassed and seated us. We then sat for 15 min with nothing. Nothing. My husband, ever so patient and an extender of grace, said maybe they're busier than they expected to be on a Thursday. Finally someone comes and takes our order. For the amount of time waiting and the poor service, I expected to be blown away by the food. Sadly, while everything was cooked well from a technical standpoint, it lacked seasoning in a major way and no one came to check on us through the meal so I couldn't even ask for something like steak sauce to try and make it palatable. However, we did get a couple of free apps. Yay? Idk. Will never be back and don't recommend for literally anything. read more

Service was top notch. The bar looks bountiful. The kitchen is open and looks clean as it's widely visible. Our food was good but not the destination for creative epicure exploration. read more

Staff were friendly, prompt, and happy to help. It's got a nice, nuanced aesthetic that feels a little more authentic than a normal hotel restaurant. My salmon was great and the whipped potatoes really hit the spot. read more

Acre 41 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

This was not my first visit at Acre 41, however, this time, first impressions were less than favorable. BLUF: It was unacceptable for a fine establishment to neglect customer service when resources were generously available. Unfortunately customer service upon arrival fell short and continued to fall short for 50 minutes. The duration of our dinner further reinforced our initial observation. Open and available seating remained plentiful throughout the continuance of our evening. I expected better problem solving skills that clearly had an already present solution. They made a problem where one did not exist; a failed attempt to prove their point and miss the mark terribly. ____________________________________ This time last year my husband and I enjoyed our first experience so much that I had to share it with my colleagues/friends. Lexi was our server last year. I was happy to see her again. Lexi continues to be the breath of fresh air offering us great food options and alternatives!! Before we arrived Open Table only previewed reservations from 7:30PM and after, so I took the 7:30 reservation. We arrived slightly before 6pm. Upon arrival there were more than 5x tables open. We asked if it was possible to get seated earlier than our reservation. The hostess said we'd have to wait 15 minutes for other reservations in case they arrive. Throughout each interaction, the hostess demonstrated a lack of customer service, shortness in her answers and an unwillingness to problem solve to assist us to get seated at any one of the tables that lay available. At 6:15 we went back to the hostess and asked if we could be seated as the 5+ tables remained available. This time the hostess said we have to wait 20-30min to see if other reservations arrive. We asked if we could speak to the manager but she seemingly ignores our requested, and the manager never came to speak with us. At 6:30 with more than 6x tables opened; this time the manager came to the hostess counter. While the manger was speaking with us the hostess was blunt in her efforts to be controlling, moreover, she further heightened the tension by being disruptive and talking over the manager. The manager was clear with her body language to silence the hostess who then rolled her eye, shook her head and stormed off. The manager went on to share there were still other reservations ahead of us. We brought to her attention the tables which remained open and available; the same ones that were available upon our arrival 30 min earlier. The manager still insisted she could not seat us at ONE of the over 6x tables that were available. During our conversation there were parties getting up and leaving making more tables available. She offered us complimentary wine to for the inconvenience. We got our wine and continued to wait. At 6:50 with more than 9x table open we were seated. While we dined and up to the time we left the restaurant was never full. Rather, more seats became available. We fully appreciate our service from Lexi and the food was excellent. It was unacceptable for a fine establishment to neglect customer service when resources were generously available.

I really wanted to love brunch at Acre 41, especially since we were wrapping up a great stay at the AC Hotel. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite meet expectations. We went for brunch on our last day and I ordered the Wagyu steak and eggs, which came with potatoes and toast, along with the blooming tea. The manager let us know the steak had been accidentally burnt and was being remade--so we were prepared for a bit of a wait. But when it finally arrived, the steak had to be sent back. It was burnt on the outside, completely raw and cold on the inside. Even after the second attempt, the temperature still wasn't right, but we were too hungry to wait any longer and just ate what we could. We picked around the edible parts and left the rest. To their credit, both the manager and our server were attentive and apologetic throughout, and they explained there had been a problem with the temperature probe for steaks that morning. Their communication was appreciated, but it didn't fully make up for the meal itself. The eggs and toast were solid, no complaints there. But the potatoes--unfortunately--were nearly inedible. They seemed to be smashed red potatoes that were either overcooked or burnt, far too tough and crunchy. I've had smashed potatoes before, and these just didn't work. On a positive note, the blooming tea was lovely--visually and in flavor. The pot kept it hot the whole time, and it was a small bright spot in the meal. Our server also offered a complimentary dessert due to the steak issues, so I tried the bread pudding. Sadly, it fell flat too, though the ice cream it came with was good. The restaurant is located on the Otis Hotel side (it shares space with the AC Hotel), and the setting is beautiful--very polished and modern. I'd absolutely stay at the hotel again. As for Acre 41, maybe I'll try it for dinner next time and hope for a better experience. I really do want to give them another chance, but I hope this feedback is taken into consideration--it could've been a great meal with just a bit more care in execution. read more

The ambience is great, and our server was kind. But the food was just lacking. Of the six people at our table we had steak, shrimp and grits, a meatball appetizer, and a few other things. For the automatic gratuity and the cost of each entrée I expected there to be more flavor. read more

A day to walk along the Drag lead us to enjoy lunch at Acre 41. It's located inside the Otis Hotel Austin and the staff made us feel very welcomed. The restaurant felt a bit upper scale with a nice decor. I ordered the Acre 41 Club. Upon looking around I noted they had a private room on the second level. There was a large bar but noticed no TV's so not a place to watch a game, but there was another bar on the second floor in the AC Hotel Austin. My sandwich arrived and looked very presentable and tasty. It had great flavor with the smoked turkey, bibb lettuce, bacon, smoked gouda, and garlic mayo. It looked like the turkey was grilled which added a magical touch in my mouth. It came with a side of fries. All was very good. read more

We came to Acre on 2/2/25 for Sunday brunch - before leaving Austin to head back home. Overall, the experience was OK. It's on the corner and attached to the AC/Omni hotel. Accordingly, bathrooms are located in the hotel lobby. The interior of the restaurant was thoughtfully decorated, with some music-themed artwork. Our primary server was patient and kind, but at some point in the meal, when I asked for assistance, she sent over a different server. The wagyu meatball was a delicious appetizer. The entire table enjoyed it. You only get 4 bite-size ish meatballs and a bunch of sauce and bread for sopping. The 13 y/o ordered the tres leches French toast, bacon and eggs over easy. She thought it was just OK. But it's hard to compare when she just had a very jazzed up French toast from Serenade the previous day. We didn't get much of a tres leches flavor though The 8 y/o ordered the buttermilk pancakes, a side of bacon and fruit. Pancakes were large and fluffy and you get 4! I ordered the egg white omelette, which I found to be well balanced and flavorful. The potatoes def needed ketchup. I also ordered sausage but they forgot to bring it out. Nonetheless, they bought it out a few minutes after I asked where it was. Husband's meal was the most problematic. He ordered the Wagyu flat iron (medium) and eggs (over easy). The steak was more on the rare to medium rare side. When he pointed it out, they said they would fire up another steak for him. That second one was even more under. Our primary server then proceeded to tell us that because it was Wagyu, medium would not be the same light pink as a normal steak. This only ticked us off more because we eat/order/make plenty of Wagyu steak and have never encountered this before. When we told her that was not the case, she said ok fine. I can have them make another one. We politely declined since there was no guarantee that third time would be the charm . They were accommodating and took it off our bill since all my husband was able to eat were his eggs and half of one smashed potato. I don't think we'll be coming back here on our next visit to Austin. read more

Salty steak. I don't know how much Salt you put on a steak. I felt like the salt was crusted onto the steak. No flavor but salt. Salt meh but not salt Bae. Even the burnt brownie was no good as a free birthday gift. Avoid this place until all cooks are out of the kitchen. read more

Nice dark ambiance. Not a lot for vegetarians (let alone vegans) to eat but avocado toast worked. Excellent service.

I attended a business dinner here and had a private upstairs room with a dedicated waiter. Since I didn't see the prices, I'll focus solely on the food. Truffle Burrata (4/5) - Fantastic dish with a great mix of flavors. The burrata was high-quality--juicy and creamy. Tuna Tartare Tacos (5/5) - Absolutely perfect. Rich in flavor without overpowering the tuna, which really stood out. A very pleasant surprise. Flat Iron Steak (4/5) - Cooked to perfection (I ordered it rare), but the seasoning was excessively salty--I had to scrape some off. However, the potato purée and asparagus paired well with the dish. The service was formal and very kind. The upstairs room is a great choice for groups of 12-15+. Downstairs, the ambiance is excellent for both business dinners and date nights--though it's quite dim. With glasses, I managed to see what I was eating! read more

This place is an undiscovered gem. The food is top quality but I really have to rave about the apps. Do not miss the popovers or the Wagyu meatballs. Best balanced marinara I ever tasted. Cocktails are beautiful and well made. This place is on 18th but in the Otis hotel so you can choose from street parking, which is free on Sundays, garage parking or valet. It's a club ambience, but modern and never packed. read more

Overall: Get ready for war! The amount of fruit flys that land on your food, in your drinks, and on your table is concerning and irritating. In the time it took me to take a photo, one landed in my green drink and coffee. I proceeded to finish my meal with a napkin over my drinks and wish I could've done the same to my plate. All beauty, no substance. Unfortunately. However my server was nice. I would not recommend for breakfast and honestly don't know if dinner is worth it with the amount of fruit flies. This restaurant is too pretty to have subpar food and an army of unruly bugs. Overall Rating: 4.5/10 What I got: - Steak and eggs: very subpar. I don't remember the last I had to put salt on my steak at a restaurant. The potatoes were very disappointing. Unseasoned and tasted like they were boiled then grilled. Not a fan. 4/10 - Tres Leches: Although you'll have to search for the tres leches sauce, the French toast itself was good. 7.5/1 read more

Dark, fancy restaurant. This restaurant is in the bottom floor of the Otis, a Marriott hotel across the street from the University of Texas. I love the artwork here. It's all Austin themed stuff, that focuses on the local area, as well as Austin's penchant for live music. We came here for breakfast. I opted for the salmon poke bowl, which was flavored with sesame oil, a bunch of delicious veggies. The waitstaff sure seems aloof here. They act like they're super busy, whisking around the restaurant. They seemed too busy to offer much help about anything. We waited and waited and waited to put in our order. Drinks sat empty through most of the meal. It was an extraordinary amount of time before our order came out. Everything was slow. You could tell it wasn't the kitchen's fault- it's an open kitchen concept where you can look back there and see just what's happening. They run like a well-oiled machine back there. In the front of the house, waitstaff are just completely not present. Ordering drinks was a mess. We sat at the table, waiting for our drinks. Figuring I could now use a cocktail since food and coffee and everything was taking so long, I went to the bar. The bartender refused to serve me, since we had a waitress, which was nowhere to be found. The bartender wanted me to put my order in with the waitress. I wanted to do the same thing, but she was missing in action. I never got that cocktail. I'm not sure if Area 41 runs the rooftop pool too, but that waitstaff up there is just as aloof. Want some ice for your drink? "Sure! I'll get it right away," they say, and never come back. You know, there's a Chick-fil-a across the street that offers fantastic service. read more

Acre 41 is a very cool looking restaurant. The ambiance here is great! The bar itself was awesome looking! I'd love to sit there and have a few drinks. We ate here before going to a show and had heard only wonderful things about it. I'd say for the price the food isnt as good as this price range. I've definitely had much better steak at carve then we did here. I will say the jalapeño cornbread was delish! The shrimp cocktail and sauce is so good! The filet was great and the flat iron was just meh. So all in all it would be worth a trip here especially during a happy hour. read more

We are stayed at the hotel for a long weekend and stopped at the bar on Thursday night to get a drink and an appetizer. When I checked in to the location, there was a promo that popped up for a free popover which I asked later to redeem. The gentleman at the bar chuckled and said "oh boy" whatever that's supposed to mean. Please don't do any promotions if you are unhappy with them. No need to make me feel bad for the promotion/coupon you are running after people check in on Yelp. We ordered a smoked manhattan and old fashioned, and blue carb and artichoke dip with white cheddar popover. Everything tasted really good! read more

Great service... vibes a little strange being in the lobby of a hotel... there's not really a separation, it's just completely open to the entrance of hotel... not bad just different. Food was ok some things better than others... the popovers seemed popular so we got them but they were kinda mushy and didn't seem freshly baked, not my fav and not nearly the best popovers I've had. Wedge salad was good. We got the acre style filet... lump crab was too salty... steak was well cooked but not the most tender. Key lime pie was yum. We did have a great Cabernet Sauvignon, nice wine. read more

THIS place knows customer service! Recently, I've felt like the service industry is just not what it used to be but Acre 41 is still upholding the standard. The food was not exactly upscale in flavor but it was still good. We ordered the blue crab and artichoke dip (substituted the chips with bread), dry aged bone-in ribeye, and baked potato. The baked potato was delicious! The other two dishes were still good but not amazing. The vibe of the restaurant was cool but it wasn't that of an upscale restaurant which the menu prices would lead you to believe it is. When it came to our server, Ram, he was amazing! Our food was taking a little longer than expected and without us even saying anything he apologized, brought us a complementary wagyu meatball appetizer and gave us an update on the order. When our food came out he brought us complementary sauces for the steak and apologized again. All of which was not necessary but HIGHLY appreciated! This is the kind of service I expect and is the reason why I will come back to this restaurant. read more

This was our first visit here. Shrimp cocktail, couple of vodka mules to drink, then main course. Wife got the filet, and whipped potatoes. She said it was excellent. I ordered the 22oz bone in ribeye. Price was $85 for just meat alone. Sides were priced separately. A ribeye is the most flavorful meat you can ordered. The easiest to cook. However I was thoroughly disappointed. First. I hate ordering a "bone in" anything. Because you are paying for a bone in ounces. So a 22oz bone is steak is maybe 14 ounces of meat. So at $85. It better blow your mind in flavor. However it did not. In fact, I almost asked for so salt, pepper and some butter. But I decided to keep eating and see if it got better. A ribeye is not hard to make great, the fat brings the flavor. I would give that ribeye a 3 out of 10 in flavor. There was just nothing there other than the meat itself. I can cook a steak on an open fire with no seasoning and draw out flavor from the fat, smoke and fire. I really wanted the tomahawk steak. But it's was $225. And I didn't want to gamble on that with my first experience here. My wife loved everything about her meal. And I did as well. Every single other item we. Had was just wonderful. The cesaer salad, potatoes, both desserts.. Except for the steak. If you are gonna charge $85 for a $20 piece of meat. It better have amazing flavor. I eat at a lot of steak houses. And I always cringe at the mark up of the meat. But if it tastes wonderful, I accept it. If I have to guess on what happened as to how my wife's was amazing and mine was not. That the chef likely forgot to season mine completely. Any flavor I got was left over on the grill from a previous steak cooked. That's really the only explanation for a ribeye without flavor. It's just really hard to mess up a ribeye. read more

Service was exceptional. John expertly gave suggestions as it was out first visit. The oysters as well as the roasted brussel sprouts were a great start. My wife enjoyed the pork chop-delicious.
