Well, time to say something positive. Can't be a Karen all the time. So many negative experiences during Covid. This place was great. Nice people treated us well from in the door to put. Waitress wonderful, manager came by and actually seemed to really care. It's a beautiful almost new place. Food was good. Tuna tacos a bit of a disappointment. Not much in three fried little shells. But the tuna salad made up for it ! Fantastic. Tons of tuna. Pork chop was perfect. Nice rooftop pool in the hotel. read more

Acre 41 - Restaurant and bar in hotel. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

Not really sure how this restaurant had such great reviews. We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning to finish out our trip to Austin. It's a nice restaurant in a good location in what seems to be a nice hotel. The service was awful. I've never encountered such unfriendly wait staff. Never asked if my significant other wanted a drink, forgot to bring me cream, didn't check on us, was eating when she was waiting on us, and was just unpleasant. The food was mediocre, which is always astonishing when you're ordering breakfast. And it was cold. Maybe we caught it on an off day, but it wasn't worth the trip. read more

Drinks were great, service was fantastic and I loved the food. Shout out to Bella for the amazing service!

Acre 41 - Jules' Special!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

Treated myself to a solo lunch here and the southwest chicken salad was absolutely perfect. I wanted to get the cornbread but my waistline told me no! Will definitely get if I can bring my guy to eat most of it for me. The service (Blue? I think was their name) was sincere, prompt, and they left me alone so I could get some computer work done. Very happy to have such a great spot so close to campus. read more

Acre 41 - Southwest Chicken Salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place only gets stars because of those shoestring fries -- the best thing we ate all dinner, skinny, salted, and crispy (though not worth $9)! 1 of the steaks ordered came rare instead of medium, we asked for it to be cooked for another minute and waited about 5-7 minutes for it to get back to the table well done. Was funny that our server walked by to check and said "yep! looks like medium!" Speaking of servers, ours was never around (except when we had to pay and she walked by 5 times to see if we put our card down) even when the restaurant was pretty empty. She sounded like she knew everything in every dish until I asked for the Truffled Spaghetti without the truffle shavings and she claimed it was just truffle oil -- I ordered as is and when it came *surprise surprise* it had huge shavings of truffle and when I tried a bite I couldn't bring myself the eat it. The truffle was all you could smell and taste (in an overpowering way) which was a shame because the pasta was cooked perfectly and looked/felt homemade. I ended up asking for the kids pasta and it was much better. Overall: steak not worth the prices, servers need to be trained more thoroughly, and the cooks need to learn how to cook meat if they're going to sell the restaurant as a steakhouse. read more

Awesome place with a great atmosphere. Service was great! The portions weren't huge but the good its self is delicious.

This spot is good for all meals. Their breakfast sandwich is really good. For dinner they have an amazing selection of whiskeys and bourbons. The service is great as well. read more

The burger was really good but not $20 good. I ordered seared carrots and they were not very seared. I was so excited about them. The wait staff was good. A little expensive for lunch. read more

For just opening the service was fantastic! Nick, Nikki, and Sarah took care of me yesterday morning at the bar! Fun and cheerful conversation, excellent food.. I even enjoyed a Mai Thai Mimosa. I had dinner there the night before, since I am staying in the hotel... not disappointed at all. In fact, I recommend. read more

Great experience. We canceled our reservations at another restaurant to give this place a try. Worth it! Avery was our server for the evening and she didn't disappoint. Great asset to the restaurant. Food was great. The crab and artichoke dip, and elote were both great stand outs. We both had the ribeye, perfectly done to our specifications. All and all a great date nice experience. read more

This place is best to break down by category versus a singular overall rating. Also, I only focus on my specific experiences over 3 evenings. Wine selection: Pretty average. Whiskies: Tons of options. Good choices as well. Food: Raw food items (oysters, salads) are decent but what I would expect, nothing more. Cooked items: Fine. Nothing bad, but nothing impressive either. Staff: Great. Very friendly. They really try to connect with people. Atmosphere: Beautiful space. Overall: An OK, option for a hotel restaurant. In a pinch it's decent. But if you're personally looking for a more elevated experience, or wanting to really impress someone, I would suggest looking outside the building. read more

This was out fist time here--for Valentine's weekend. Usually too busy and poor service and food quality as a result to deliver much to the masses. This wasn't like that. The food was awesome. The service was excellent. One of the best meals we have had in a long time. The oysters were wonderful for a start. Then the halibut + the filet were mouth-watering. The sides--street corn, mashed potatoes and asparagus couldn't have been better. Thumbs up and we will definitely be back. This could be our new Austin favorite. read more

Tonight I bought a $140 dollar steak. When the steak arrived it was cold. Before the steak my date and I ordered the half dozen oysters on the half shell. We found a piece of paper inside of an oyster. read more

Got our steak temps completely switched then "complementary" bread while we waited. Rare ribeye and medium filet...not even a mention of it except to redo...and we are staying at the hotel. Try somewhere else imo. read more

I got the NY strip and my husband got the chicken dish. I would say they were good but not great. The drinks were okay. I wouldn't go back here though since I've had better food. Oh and the service was good but kind of slow. read more

Delicious specialty cocktails and beautifully prepared meals! Hard to tell it's a hotel restaurant. Happy Hour 5-7 Tues-Fri is the move, $7 specialty cocktails and $11 starters read more

Acre 41 - Weekly Specialty Cocktail - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

Acre 41 came up in my Google search. The pics looked good and reviews weren't bad. I went there with my wife and 10 year old son. We were hungry and tired. So much so that I totally forgot to take pictures. Aside from our waiter, Louis, who was great, everything else was very mediocre at best. My cocktail, vodka soda, was all soda and a splash of vodka. My wife asked to sample a wine and she was brought a whole glass instead. I'm thinking it was because it was $23 per glass. The food--my son had chicken fingers that had more batter than chicken. My Caesar salad had croutons that were bad and my wife's salmon dish was small. In all fairness, Louis did mention it was a small dish. I was just surprised at how small. To to be clear, my wife had the halibut dish but substituted the halibut for salmon. The restaurant itself, inside a hotel, was very pretty. The hostess was great. It was too pricey for what we ordered and I rarely give poor reviews. read more

Beautiful restaurant with incredible food and drinks. The Truffle Honey Burrata was great to share with the table. I got the Truffled Spaghetti and would highly recommend!! Everyone at my table loved their steaks. The martinis were also fantastic. And last but not least, the dessert was delicious. Our server, Trent, was SO kind and gave us great recommendations on the whole menu. Will definitely be back! read more

It's Ok, not great. I expected more since the reviews were so good. We went for lunch and started with Crab artichoke dip. I wouldn't order it again. I got a wagyu beef burger which was cooked well and the french fries are skinny, which is my favorite. My husband got a french dip and the meat was good. Our server was also very attentive. The problem was all the details that make a good restaurant. Very limited adult beverages, the iced tea was soooo bad it tasted like instant, even the ketchup was congealed like it was put in a ramekin two days ago and stuck in the walk-in. I would only eat here if I was staying at the Hotel. read more

Truly an amazing appetizer menu to please all tastes. Delicious food, fun atmosphere that's not too loud to have a conversation in our group. We'll be back! read more

Great ambience, and decent service (not stellar with the attention, but super polite and friendly). Stellar cocktails. The best thing about the experience this evening is that there was dance music playing, but it was at a /low/ volume, so the entire party had a great conversation. The ambience and service deserve 4/5 stars. But let us talk about the overpriced food: Beet salad, two pieces of (seemed like canned and pickled) beet and a mound of arugula and an ounce of goat cheese; 14 bucks. No. New York Strip ordered medium rare, served well done; full of gristle, tough, fat slabs intact, chewy, and $60. No no no. The food is akin to Longhorn Steaks at five times the price. First and last visit. Friend who had the halibut said it was cooked well, but arrived too cold. For a Thursday night with such a premium price, this is a "no" forever for me (unless it's just for drinks; good bourbon selection). read more

cute restaurant!! we came a bit early for our reservation and got seated at the bar while we waited! our waiter was awesome! despite no photos of food, the wagyu flat iron was TOP TIER!! and yes get the blue crab & artichoke dip! we were scrapping the bowl for the dip, it was to die for! my partner ordered the wagyu burger and it was alright, just tasted like a regular burger. read more

Food was delicious and complex, cocktails were refreshing. Incredible and intimate atmosphere with premium service.

Fantastic food and even better service! Get the skirt steak on the garlic pasta so you try a little of both. Also, before or after dinner, head up to the rooftop for a drink and view of the city. read more

This spot was more than great. It was perfect. The atmosphere was incredible. ORDER THE POMME PUREE and the Ribeye! WOW so delicious. Our server was Isabel and you better hope you get her or your experience likely will not be as great as ours was. It felt as though our best friend was serving us and everything about our experience dining at this restaurant felt so genuine. We asked if we could please take a peek at the rooftop bar (it will be opening to the public mid-January) and Jalisa, our host, took us on a mini tour upstairs. The view was incredible! We can not wait to be able to experience the rooftop once it is open. I have to say once again, even with Jalisa it felt like we were talking to a friend. Everyone at Acre 41 was genuine and so kind. THANK YOU for such a great experience! After having an incredibly tough week, we needed this comfort food and luxury dining experience. read more

Audrey at the Acre 41 was amazing and so sweet. The food was the best and the service was amazing. Will be returning for sure when we are back in the area. read more

The inside looks nice, how ever the flavor of the dishes where not seasoned. Service was good, drinks were really strong . Desert was delicious . This is not a place I would go out of my way to try again, but if I were to stay at the hotel then this is a great choice. read more

Great environment! The Waygu was ! Drinks were great too! Would definitely recommend!

Awesome service and vibe in the equally awesome Hotel Otis. Service was great and the pork chop is among the finest I have ever had. Absolutely hit this place up!! read more

Drinks were good. Food was okay. Service was good at the start and then took longer and longer to come back as the time went on. It took over thirty minutes to get our drinks and over an hour to get the food for it to be not great, and very expensive. Atmosphere was lovely, but the music was a little too loud. read more

Food was absolutely delicious! The service was great as well! We are looking forward to going back soon.

Restaurants inside of Marriott hotels are always pretty good in my experience. This one seems to have a bit of an identity crisis, with a small drink menu. What made up for it was the great service by the waitstaff, and their willingness to make a drink that wasn't on the small menu. read more

Great atmosphere, top notch quality food, great service, easy valet so you do not have to drive around for parking. Nicely located just a few miles from downtown. We will be back! read more

Well the restaurant is located in a bar lobby situation in a hotel. It's nicely appointed I like the decor upscale modern. Bartenders were very cordial made nice drinks somewhat overpriced no happy hour prices on a Tuesday afternoon. Food overall was first rate service however was poor. I would say prices were a little on the high side for the portions we received. We were a party of six and not interested in a large full meal we had another event to go to. After waiting for water and getting served our bottles of wine the waiter evaporated. Seems like it's typical in Austin these days not really fully staffing and then the waiters are over utilized in larger areas. Not really the waiters fault it was more management. We had to flag down other waiters for simple things like pepper, additional drinks and finally the bill. read more

We were tired from a long day of traveling & were so excited to see that a well rated restaurant was right in the downstairs of our hotel. We were SO LUCKY to have Mark as a waiter who listened to every little detail we said about we liked/disliked in food & drinks and made PERFECT recommendations accordingly. The crab & artichoke dip was fantastic and very very different than the standard spinach artichoke dip you can get at most restaurants. We also got the pork belly porkchop which was an incredibly large portion and cooked & seasoned so perfectly you would think it was a prime cut of beef. Mark was attentive to our needs and wants and was one of the best waiters we have had ever. He even brought me a plate of limes when i asked for extra lime juice in my drink. read more

I was looking forward to dining at Acre 41, as it was rated #1 on a different site, which was trip advisor. I am unable to give this establishment a 5* review for the following reasons: - I had asked that my cornbread be served with the butter on the side due to my unfortunate lactose intolerance, but alas it arrived at the table with butter on this otherwise excellent starter - I looked forward to having the "belly on" pork chop, and was informed that they did not have the belly on chop this evening( but it was the same price!)However, aside from a portion of the chop near the bone being raw, it was very tasty - on the bright side, my wife had an excellent halibut entree, and our server, Monte, was very nice and efficient - we had an excellent cocktail , that being the signature old fashioned, but it was of average in its size - read more

This spot is everything cozy, quaint, friendly !! Food was on point ,service is five stars we really enjoyed this place don't forget to check out the rooftop bar Jalisa was very friendly and made awesome recommendations for drinks breakfast was five star as well read more

Ate at the bar since the restaurant didn't have any open tables. The bartender was great. Food was good, but they forgot a couple of the sides. The steaks were a bit crispy. drinks were better. Service was on the slow side. The lobby restaurant and bar were packed. Wasn't too loud, though. It was ok for a hotel restaurant. read more

10/10!!! The food is beautifully prepared and the service is pristine. The atmosphere of the hotel sets the whole tone. Ask for Alex when you go in, you won't regret it :) I will definitely be back, and telling others read more
