The attention from the staff throughout our dinner was fantastic! Monte was our main server and offered a lot of suggestions for us to try during our dinner. The bar drinks were on point. Monte checked on us frequently and made sure we were happy with our selections . The food was served quickly and hot. The crab, spinach and artichoke dip, salmon and New York strip were all top notch. The place has dim lighting but that is normal for a steak house. Highly suggest trying this restaurant. read more

Not worth the price. The Halibut my husband got was undercooked/almost raw and didn't have much flavor. It also had a fishy smell to it and had too much oil on it. got the burger and it was dripping in grease. For $20 for a burger I definitely did not expect the low quality of bun (bun was smashed) and presentation of the burger (it was sliding off the bun). The bun was also soggy from all the grease. My fires were cold. Overall a disappointing visit. Gave three stars because the drinks were really good and so were the appetizers. The desserts were a hit and a miss. We got the Peanut butter pie and key lime pie. The key lime pie had toasted meringue on it that tasted burnt which ruined the taste of the whole thing. They toasted the meringue for too long. read more

Acre 41 - Peanut Butter Pretzel Pie and Key Lime Pie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

The easiest 5-star rating I can remember giving! The food, service, and ambiance were all fantastic. Food: Appetizers, entrees, and desserts were all awesome. We started with the barratta to start was great and the bread was so good! The halibut was amazing; it was a really, really small portion though. The desserts were fantastic. The key lime meringue was the best key lime pie I've ever had and our group also got the chocolate/peanut butter-type pie which was delicious. Service: really great waiter, fast service. They do a great job! read more

Sigh, it's so bad to write this review. As guests of the hotel and decided to give the restaurant a try. Huge mistake. We love the hotel so far, but we dinner was the worse that we ever had. Literally most of it went to waste or was left untouched after the first bite or two. We ordered really late (940pm with a 10pm kitcheb closing) so maybe we got the chef's tired cooking before closing, but we were seriously disappointed. The blue crab artichoke dip looked good but was flavorless. The ceasar salad required me picking through the Lettuce to discard wilted or browning Lettuce. The street corn was the best thing but was essentially not Street Corn but spicy corn stir fry. The burger was awful - barely more than meat and bread. The bone marrow was okay. The hostess was lovely so there's no hesitation there. Service was good by everyone we encountered except one bartender woman. read more

I used to love this place! The food and ambience are great and I used to come with friends, family, and for work. I'm so disappointed they are falling into the trap of nickel and diming their patrons. There is no parking around this restaurant because it's located on UT campus on extremely busy streets so you have to valet. Now they are charging $15 for valet alone and none of that even goes to the valet guy so you'd have to tip on top of that for them to get paid!! So disappointed they would do this to locals. I will no longer be coming here because how do I explain that to my business guests or family that after an expensive meal to be prepared to pay an additional charge to something that should be comped other than tipping the valet guy. read more

My first time visiting this place recently and it was not at all what I expected it to be. From the pictures online you'd assume this place was a steakhouse and they have some great cuts of steak that definitely hold the price tag of what you'd expect at a steakhouse. The reason why I'm personally skeptical of calling it a steakhouse is because the ribeye we ordered was very flat in terms of flavor. It tasted fine? Yes. Cooked nicely? Of course. Seasoned and basted like a typical succulent steak you'd get at a steak house? Not even close. I'm sorry to be so harsh but if you love a good steak like I do, you might be a little disappointed with the ribeye. Even though it's $60. Maybe our expectations were too high but we definitely expected the steak to rival Ruth's Chris or Fleming's. Even Yard house has more unctuous flavoring to their meat. Maybe it was a bad night to go. We went on a Friday night and waited over 40 minutes for our entrees and that probably added to our disdain. Our server was friendly enough and we appreciated his recommendations for the other food we got. The lobster raviolo was delicious though the lobster was a touch on the chewy side. The creamed spinach might be the best creamed spinach we've ever had. Also our appetizer was the blue crab and artichoke dip which left us fighting the urge to lick the skillet it was served in. Ha! It was that good. I want to wrap this review up by saying that the two main things that make us not want to come back here is 1) towards the end of our meal a manager gave us the bill and our server came back later and told us it was the wrong one. Very weird and a bit unprofessional. And 2) the steak was the main attraction and we were let down. If you do decide to eat here you'll get decent service and great appetizers! read more

Must visit. This is my second time visiting Acre 41 and it doesn't disappoint. Wide selection of wines, cocktails, mock tails, apps and entrees. Started with the iron skillet cornbread which was super moist and fulfilling. Also had the crab dip which was super rich with tons of crab filling hit the spot! Staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. Do yourself a favor and visit this restaurant in the lobby of the Otis Hotel. The service is unmatched. The food is absolutely amazing - everything we tasted melted in other mouths. Absolutely the best meal, Highly recommend! read more

The food, drinks, and service were wonderful. But if you do not want to sit at the bar make a reservation. Sadly, we didn't. The place was completely empty and "they didn't have room". Even after a great dinner at the bar, the restaurant itself was still half empty. read more

I was so glad to get the email that they opened again. The food here is so well thought out, I am never disappointed. I enjoyed a nice glass of white wine and their truffle burrata. Simple yet so satisfying, especially with the toasted bread. I have been craving a burger, so I thought why not here? The beef comes from a collaboration or close relationship. My burger was delicious and I LOVE shoestring French fries. I would also recommend the truffle spaghetti, which my friend ordered. I wanted to eat her entree too! The staff are attentive and I'm grateful to have the social distance protocols they do in place. read more

Was finally to hear this place opened back up after being closed for months during COVID. This place was outstanding from beginning to end. The restaurant is gorgeous and has a lot of beautiful lighting and wall decor not to mention a kick ass vinyl collection you can check out. Beyond that the food was amazing. For apps we tried the spinach & artichoke dip and for entrees we went with the king salmon & truffle pasta. The king salmon was super flavor and the truffle pasta was so rich & indulgent but nonetheless great. The service was also notch as our waiter was curious, knowledgeable and even gave us a sneak peek of the upstairs bar. This place can be a little pricey but worth the money. Highly recommend you check out if your in the the UT area or looking for a nice night out. read more

If I could give this a negative 5 stars I would. The dining room was half empty, we had a reservation and the hostess seated us at a table that was wrapped around a structural column, hard to describe but very unappealing, when we asked for another table she offered another one right next to the kitchen door, when I asked to sit across the room at one of the many vacant tables, she said no they had other reservations. Needless to say, we left. The hostess was extremely rude the entire time and rolled her eyes and said "ok whatever" when we told her we were going to leave. Pathetic customer service. DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

Nice service! I went on a Sunday night and ordered the wagyu burger medium rare. The burger was cooked to perfection and was super juicy. The fries were also crunchy and super tasty. Our waiter, Kate took excellent care of us and made sure all of our needs were taken off. This spot is a nice restaurant to visit in the UT Austin campus area. read more

Inviting and warm lobby and bar. Wait staff was very friendly and ready to serve and accommodate. Our first time here for our niece's 21st birthday. The menu had something for every one. Appetizers were delicious. Our waitress, Saylor, was exceptionally attentive and made our first time here memorable. read more

Y'all lied. 4.5 stars tells me you: 1. Have never been to a good restaurant 2. You've been living under a rock 3. Or, this place has gone to the crapper My oysters came still attached to the shell. My shrimp cocktail came out raw. I'm a HUGE sushi fan, but shrimp cocktail should be cooked medium, or medium rare. Not raw. They were still limp and translucent. The halibut entree should be called a salad. It's overwhelmed with cilantro and tomato and the fish itself was flavorless and tasted steamed. Absolutely horrible. The elote? Make sure you stir it before eating or you'll be choked by the chili and spices. On a good note - my NY strip came out great. +1 star. I normally don't comment on service but our waitress was green and didn't check on us after our entrees were brought to the table. Very disappointing experience and you should steer clear of this place unless you relish underwhelming and disappointing dining. Again, at 4.5 stars, you must enjoy mediocrity, Yelpers! read more

The advertising budget for this hotel was pretty high. It was everywhere on social media right before they opened. We're about to go to happy hour on the rooftop today but I also wanted to have lunch here so it looks like we'll be here twice today? maybe not. I rolled up to the valet guy and was totally ignored. I don't drive a junk car, he looked me straight in the eyes and proceeded to look down again. Am I not worth your service? Well I came out and stood there like a lost child until he came over to take my keys and gave me my ticket. That was already irritating. We sat at the bar and had lunch. The fish tacos and cheeseburger was delicious. I had the wagyu with elotes. The food was good, nothing to run home tell my moma about it. The portions were decent. The drinks were also good. I would bring friends here for a quick lunch bite. The bartender was super sweet as well. We were the only ones at the bar so he chatted with us for a bit. He talked highly about he rooftop pool and bar. I will be back there. Then I was rudely reminded of the valet. It took them forever to find my keys. How hard is it to find a bright pink key chain? There were two of them. I swear I waited longer for my car to come around than I did for my food. Free or not Id rather park down the street and walk over. read more

Acre 41 did not disappoint. We had the scallops and shrimp grits meals, an appetizer and dessert (bread pudding), all were cooked to perfection. The scallops had some delicious mushroom spears and some greens. It would have been appreciated if it featured a more substantial serving of greens and mushrooms. The stand outs for me were the Blue Jay mocktail (Blueberry, mint, vanilla, lemon, lime, ginger beer) and the bread pudding which had a generous portion of ice cream on top. I really appreciate when the restaurant goes to the trouble of making delicious mocktails. Service was excellent. FInally, restaurant was stunning with soaring ceilings and artistic lighting. The Otis Hotel has a fantastic restaurant which defies all usual hotel restaurant stereotypes by offering tasty food that was not overpriced. This local will be back again. read more

The restaurant is beautiful and our server, Stax (I believe was their name) was very skilled at leading a delicious culinary experience. Cocktails were fresh and fun. We enjoyed the crab dip. The scallops were cooked perfectly Stax recommend a fantastic wine, the Pairing, which I loved and got us in and out quick to catch a concert nearby. Thanks! read more

The service is top notch! What a cool vibe of the restaurant, too. The shrimp and grits was amazing! The chile glazed chicken was amazing! Elote street corn delicious. Delicious cocktails, too. Went for breakfast and didn't love the breakfast burrito. My husband got the pimento cheese and ham omelette and that was very good. read more

Acre 41 is a great date place restaurant. Great ambience and amazing service. The truffled spaghetti is the best pasta I've had in Austin so far!

Fantastic atmosphere and service. John was excellent with recommendations. He was helpful with drink recommendations, to include specific liquors to include in which drinks.

The ambiance is the highlight. Service is uneven and at times inattentive. Nice bar with handcrafted cocktails. We ordered tuna wonton tacos 5/5 and shrimp cocktail 5/5.

I was very much not a fan of this burrito. The salsa just completely overshadowed every thing else that was in it. The potatoes were pretty good, as was the chicken sausage by itself. It's a very nice restaurant right near the campus of the University of Texas. I can't say I'd choose to come here again but if I did find myself back I'd try and come for dinner instead. read more

This is a hard one. Food is good, service is terrible!! Last night a friend and I had dinner here. We had to sit in the bar area at one of the side tables because the restaurant was not open yet. My halibut was delicious. The bill was about $175 for two people, including an appetizer, dinner, drinks, dessert. We constantly had to ask the server for things. We went up to the bar multiple times to have our waters we filled and to ask for things. Never once did anybody come to our table to take our menu, refill waters, or take away plates. We literally went up to the bar to order each item and then back up to the bar to get water refills. We had to bus the table ourselves by moving plates to a nearby table because they nobody ever cleared the table all between appetizers, dinner, dessert, and the bar table is small. I do not recommend the brownie sundae. The scoops of ice cream are so tiny. It's not enough to go with the brownie. So we had a lot of brownie left over. Ice cream was good brownie was just OK. Even getting the bill it was difficult. I finally got it and paid it, but they never gave me an itemized one to take home for my records. It was just such a bad service experience. Since I'm staying at the hotel, I came here for breakfast. Sitting here for breakfast and the service is still terrible. Oatmeal was OK. The vanilla latte was completely different than it was last night. I ended up going to the bar and having them make it for me there. If you get a coffee order it at the bar instead of the restaurants part. Breakfast came out to almost $20. It's OK, I would've been just as happier with oatmeal and coffee at Starbucks It's a fine place to eat if you're staying at the hotel and don't feel like going out. But I would not go come on purpose. read more

Hubs and I booked a table at Acre 41 on NYD for brunch and I expected a 4-star experience. Sadly, I was disappointed. Food was 3 stars. Not amazing, but tasty. Shrimp and grits were savory and the shrimp was perfection, but, like other reviews have stated, not enough grits! Hubs had the steak and eggs. Eggs were perfectly medium, and the steak was made to order, but lukewarm. We ordered the crab roll to start, and it was quite delicious, lovely and light, but unfortunately came out with the entrees. Service and presentation: 2 stars, which makes me sad. Sat by an attentive hostess in a gorgeous purple sweater! When we first sat we noticed the water glasses were spotted with soap residue. So we asked for fresh glasses, but our waitperson seemed put upon at the ask. We ordered coffee and a bottle of sparkling wine. The coffee came quickly. Asked for spoons to stir our coffee. They didn't come until 15 minutes after the first pour, so we used our knives to mix the cream into our cups, lest we drink cold coffee. Bubbly came a few minutes more but with red wine glasses and no bucket. Husband had to ask our server for them. When it took an inordinate amount of time to get the bucket and flutes, he went to the bar to ask for them. I suppose the bar staff alerted restaurant management because shortly thereafter the bucket and glasses were delivered to our table by management. For the remainder of our visit, management waited on us, which is NOT what we intended, but our server did drop by with clamshells for our remaining food. We wrapped our visit, and made sure to tip our server the standard 20 percent, but I don't think we will be visiting again. read more

I ate here today for lunch and was thoroughly impressed all the way around. The decor? Super nice but still comfortable. The service? Awesome. Our group consisted of eight individuals and our waiter didn't miss a beat. The food? The best poke bowl I have ever had.

The ponzu sauce complimented everything but didn't overpower. I will definitely be back. read more
