Side Slaw salad.  Fantastic.
Loren R.

3.5 stars seems awe-fully low. I sat at the burbon bar to eat While I did try a bourbon. For fun I'm not a fan. It's a loud place yet easy enough to get lost in my own thoughts The bartenders were instantaneously there to take orders and ask questions of. While i did not come to drink. I did get great service. I had the Red Drum gulf fish. It was a mild large grain halibut/cod looking fish that was more soft than firm. It had very slight oily texture that I appreciated as halibut and cod can become dry easily. It was cooked perfectly pan fried I think with the skin on. I really appreciate a in fried skin on fillet. The skin flavors added tremendously to each bite. Don't neglect the skin. The garish was a tiny cubed sausage that did not steal from the flavor. It was a great compliment. I had a coleslaw salad. That description does injustice It was a greens salad. With marinated apricots Slices of almond? Nuts, cucumber? And minimal if any cabbage. I took a picture hoping to recreate at home. I'd come again here on date night for sure. My wife would feel treated and special. Personally I like more engaging banter from the servers. But it was loud and busy. If you need hearing aids like me. You might have a herd time in conversation due to the ambiance features ... Cavernous ceiling.... Try it.

Brisket Mac n cheese
Vandesha L.

What a journey getting to this places! For anyone interested it's inside of the Hilton Hotel. They have valet and the parking garage is near by. While they do have a nice size dining area we were made to sit in the bar area due to short staff. The ambience is nice and the service was A+ but the pricing is absurd! Half rotisserie chicken was $20+ and the skin wasn't as crispy as I like. It was juicy and full of flavor. I didn't care for the baked beans, they were a bit too sweet for me. I also didn't care for the Mac n cheese, the queso they use is not my taste. I liked the side of pickled okra and the potato salad. Overall I would let someone treat me to dinner but I doubt I would come back on my own. Too pricey for regular bbq style cuisine.

Decent hotel bar (located in lobby of Hilton) that serves good (but small) margaritas for $13.

The Hilton Austin downtown is my hotel of choice when I'm in the city on business, and I enjoy the daily food and beverage credit that being a Hilton Diamond member affords me. I usually end up spending it at Cannon + Belle, the hotel restaurant and bar. Located in the lobby, the restaurant is small but lively. I was here during the annual SXSW festival, and there was (LOUD) live music in the lobby which made it difficult to talk. The bar was busy but service was fast (they have bar top stools as well as a few tables). I've never eaten food here, so this review is for the bar only. Be sure to ask about Happy Hour specials. The menu is better than you'd expect for a hotel bar, and the drinks are strong and good. They are, of course, overpriced (think $13 for tiny margaritas and $16-$18 for equally little specialty cocktails). It's easy to do room charges as well, and the staff is pleasant and efficient. I wouldn't come here if I wasn't staying as a guest at the hotel, though, but it's a pretty decent hotel bar!

New menu apparently and happy to say everything was great! I need to try their smoked old fashioned!

Pork belly sandwich
Marc T.

Staying here for work. Needed a quick bite to eat so went down for dinner. Nice atmosphere, but can be pretty crowded. Have a good selection of beer, wine, and bourbon. Food and drink can be a little pricey, but is better then most hotel restaurants. Just had a pork belly sandwich with a side salad. Food was very good. Waiter was super friendly and overall I had a good experience.

This place is located by the lobby of the Hilton hotel. We ordered the brisket queso Mac and the fungi pizza. The pizza was good, no wow factor but an average pizza. The queso on the other hand was not appealing at all, it tastes like hamburger helper, so I highly advise to skip it. I will be trying the place and trying different items on there.

Menus
Darlene N.

We had a group of 10 for a dinner on a business trip. The service was excellent and the food was prompt. We started with several appetizers. The Brussel sprouts were fantastic and the entire team enjoyed them. The charcuterie board was easy to share and the sweet potato hummus was also a win. I enjoyed an Autumn Old Fashioned. It was good, but at home we have one of the top Bourbon bars in the country and they have this place beat. For my second drink, I had the EH Taylor. It was great. For dinner I ordered the filet. It came out cooked perfectly, I did not care for the potatoes but we have also had heavy appetizers before the main courses came out. Overall, the atmosphere, service, and ability to accommodate our large group made this a win and a place I will recommend to others.

Pepperoni pizza

Awesome authentic pepperoni pizza. I wish reviewers would be educated enough about food before giving a bad review of the pizza for not having enough cheese and a thin crust. If you know anything authentic pizza isn't Domino's. Hotels employ chefs. They don't make fast food quality food. Its about fresh simple fewer ingredients. Less gluttony more quality. Hilton always excels with its cuisine.

Chris W.

We came here during NYE dinner, so the service wasn't top notched mainly because every item took 30 mins to arrive. We had to flag down the sever every single time. I'm guessing they were short staffed. But the ribeye was really delicious and the seats were comfortable! The classic cocktails were decent: Manhattan, Dirty Martini, & Old Fashioned. The cheese charcuterie board was very minimal. I did like the restaurant's ambiance. Chic and cozy. The flooring was a bit slippery for my kitten heels, and the restrooms are a bit far away.

Half rotisserie chicken
Jonathan W.

This quaint little restaurant is inside the Hilton, so the menu is short and the prices steep, but that is on par with what you will find in any hotel based establishment. The service was great, the employee's are very friendly and attentive, the food though, not so much. The chicken looked juicy, but ended up being dry, the vegetables were actually burnt, half of my carrot still had some orange to it but the other half was charcoal black. The cake was ok, a bit on the hard side when I expected fluffy, it was a typical fridge cake. Looked great though, just not flavorful. I expected more out of my $50 meal. Can't say I'll return.

The venue itself has a lively, open feel with an urban backyard vibe and plenty of space to move around, mingle, and actually take in the installation without feeling crowded. What stood out most was how well the space complemented the event. The layout made it easy to engage with the installation while still enjoying the social vibe. They had space for working virtually as well as displays to test some of the technology. There's a nice balance between indoor comfort and that signature rooftop-style setting, which gives it a relaxed but elevated feel. The staff was friendly and kept things running smoothly, and the overall setup felt thoughtfully organized. Whether you were there to focus on the installation or just take it in casually, the environment supported both. The line was somewhat long to get into the event as it was at capacity and could only allow more people as people were leaving the event. I was given a drink ticket and got to try the Patio Pounder with ilegal mezcal, primo aperitivo, tropical citrus, coconut, grapefruit soda. The bartender was efficient even though the lines were long. The cocktail was enjoyable with the balance of smoky and citrus flavors. They also had a variety of food bites available including chips and queso. creamy street corn, and sliders. The food was gone relatively quickly due to the crowds but it would be replenished periodically. Overall, Upstairs at Caroline proved to be a solid venue for a creative SXSW event versatile, welcoming, and very on-brand for Austin's arts and tech scene.

This is definitely the kind of place that wants you to wait. The kind of place that wants to build a line outdoors to intrigue onlookers. We were treated nicely, but we definitely could have gotten in right away. By the time we walked in, the place was probably at 60% capacity. It was standing room only at the bar, but not overcrowded by any means. There is a dress code, but it's not entirely clear what it is. Some guy dressed to the 9s got turned away for not having sleeves whereas I got in with sneakers and a t-shirt. They ask for your cellphones upon entering and give you a key in exchange, but there doesn't seem to be any security to enforce it if you don't want to give them up. I have no problem with their policy, but I bet a lot of customers do. Interestingly, their little social experiment seemed to have a positive effect, where we ended up talking to strangers and vice versa. The Powder Room may be making America social again.

I'm usually not a fan of 'craft cocktails' out bc they're overpriced and not nearly as good as what my partner makes at home, but these were glorious. These drinks had layers of flavor. And fresh ingredients. And they were reasonably priced. Honestly, I don't even remember the last time we had such good drinks out (ok that's a lie but another review and it was at that place where Crowbar used to be - but these win hands down). The bartenders were nice and knowledgeable (Did I mention they make amazing drinks?). The outside has a similar feel to Cosmic but more secluded which is nice. They have plenty of seating, mostly outside, and food from an onsite truck, Sabor Tapatio. Honestly, I feel like this place is a unicorn. 78745 low key vibe but also with some old school Austin feels (I'm talking 2005 mid-Noughties - not 20-teen Rainey Street batch cocktails). They also have coffee in the mornings which we'll be checking out sooner rather than later. 10/10 recommend.

The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.
