    Overall, we had a good experience. The restaurant had a cute, lively atmosphere and was busy. The drinks were definitely a highlight and the bartender was friendly and made excellent drinks. We ordered the sweetcorn cakes Benedict with salsa, and the corn cakes were tasty and satisfying. The salsa was especially delicious and ended up being my favorite part of the dish. We also tried the avocado toast with bacon on the side, which wasnt too bad. All in all, a good spot for a casual brunch, especially if you're looking for good drinks.

    lobster pasta, wagyu burger
    Bianca H.

    If you're looking for something that is open a little later than most restaurants nearby, I would recommend you come to Caroline's! I came on a late Wednesday night, and the service was great. They were so accommodating and quickly sat me and took my order. I tried a lobster pasta and wagyu burger. The lobster was so juicy and tender, really good and honestly, you could share this between 2-3 people. It was a big serving. The wagyu burger was good, a bit dry but with the toppings and the bread toasted inside, gave it a great burst of flavors in your mouth. The vibes are nice for a nice work dinner or date night. If you're up for some fun, I would recommend going upstairs and checking out the bar and games up there too!If you're looking for something that is open a little later than most restaurants nearby, I would recommend you come to Caroline's!

    Busy establishment. Their food plated looked better than it tastes. Fish tacos had very little fish, it was mostly a portion for one taco. The winner was their Sleepless In Congress espresso martini. Definitely a pass on food, however the drinks were winners.

    Lobster pasta

    Back for another wonderful meal! From the friendliness of the host stand to our amazing waitress. So much fun! Drinks never empty. She was totally on top of us I had the lobster pasta and friend had the ahi tacos. They did not skimp on portions. The tacos were so full of tuna it has hard to keep it all inside the shell! So very tasty and extremely fresh ahi for sure. The lobster pasta went beyond my expectations! The pasta was definitely homemade and cooked to the perfect texture. The sauce was not over powering yet very tasty for sure. And the lobster meat. Not sprinkled in like other places. Absolutely not! There was a hefty amount of lobster for sure! They did not hold back. This would be good for a girls night out or a very nice dinner date place. The location in downtown is very central to everything you can think of and public parking is near by.

    Nice top bar down the street from the Capitol me and my wife and some friends just popped in to escape the heat. The service is fast no complaint.

    Spicy deviled eggs

    Caroline was a miss for us for dinner downstairs. I'd recommend this place for a drink and an appetizer, but definitely skip the entrees. It's attached to a hotel and it definitely had the feel of 'room service fancy' when it came to the entrees. The waygu beef burger was a perfectly uniform bland patty in a sea of lukewarm fries with two sad slices of roma. The waygu steak wasn't bad, but again, room service fancy feel. The Green Goddess salad looked pretty good but expect to pay extra to add a protein. I did like the ambiance. The waitstaff was helpful and informative. The kitchen and bar took a while, even with just a few tables occupied. When we called to reserve a table, they let me know they couldn't split checks and gratted parties over 6, which I expected but appreciated they communicated it. The website was hard to navigate for me and the Happy Hour available under Caroline isn't actually offered anywhere but upstairs. If you have accessibility issues, note that there aren't any restrooms on the first floor. Be prepared to walk a maze through the restaurant, through the coffee shop and either up 4 switchbacks of stairs to the 2nd floor or to ride the elevator on the hotel side to find one. Overall, if you're planning a trip here, I would check out Caroline Upstairs and hit up the upper deck patio for drinks and appetizers and skip downstairs restaurant. Unless you like lukewarm fries with no seasoning! Then, this is your place

    A few friends met up here for breakfast, which we chose due to the cute outdoor space. The patio was definitely cute! However, everything else was super strange. Service was just fine. But they did not have anything except black coffee in terms of coffee drinks... there was no decaf. No lattes. And not even just plain hot water. They said the coffee cafe makes all of the coffee and hot beverages for the restaurant and since the coffee counter was so busy, they could not service any restaurant diners. Super weird! Our food was average. Açaí bowl was fresh and good. The coffee situation was just so weird for breakfast/brunch. Never heard of a restaurant not being able to serve anything but plain black coffee and plain creamer. Also no almond milk, oat milk, etc. Strange!

    Green goddess salad
    Olga G.

    Caroline was so sweet with excellent service, beautiful ambience, and really really good food. I think we snatched the last table available for dinner and we're glad we did. Really enjoyed my green goddess salad. My partner really loved the burger and the fries. There was an abundance of those. By the way check out my picture. I would definitely be back if I'm ever in Austin.

    What really stood out to me right away was how friendly the staff was. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly, and since I had a reservation, we were seated immediately. I was here with my niece for lunch, and we started by sharing the spicy deviled eggs and the roasted corn. The deviled eggs were honestly a highlight -- super smooth and creamy, with extra sauces underneath that added a nice kick and tons of flavor. The street corn with tortilla chips was also fun, flavorful, and easy to share. We both ordered burgers with fries. The fries were generous, and while the burger wasn't a huge standout, it was solid and satisfying. Overall, this was a really nice, relaxed spot for a Friday afternoon lunch. One small, interesting note: I went to wash my hands before the meal and learned that the restroom is upstairs (or you can take the elevator) and down a hallway connected to the hotel above the restaurant. I didn't realize the layout at first, so getting there was a bit of an adventure -- not a big deal, just unexpected.

    Burger and fries

    I have mixed feelings about this place. The decor is super nice and great for a date night, but I find the food needs to be updated. I was originally going to order the chicken schnitzel, but after looking at the table next to me and seeing how dry it was I opted for a burger and pasta. The burger was average at best with nothing really standing out, besides the fact that they cook it to your liking. The pasta though was a winner. It had a great sauce that made you want eat more. The mushrooms and tomato sauce made me coming back for forkful after forkful. Unfortunately this wasn't my dish, but in the end I dipped the bread of the burger in the sauce which vastly improved its taste. The service was polished name the waiter came several time to see how we were doing.

    Ahi tacos
    Kaley S.

    First time here and loved it! All of our food was delicious and it's the only place I've ever seen with 8 Years in the Desert sold by the glass! Crazy! We got the ahi tacos for the table and they were the perfect bite to get us started. I had the lobster pasta, which was delicious! We also got some yummy desserts including the peanut butter pie. Our server was the sweetest person ever and everyone was generally so nice to us. Great experience!

    This is probably the third time I've been to Caroline's, and while the experience has been consistent, it's been consistently okay. The ambiance is always great, and the service has been solid every time I've visited. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe of the place is enjoyable. That said, the food and drinks have never really stood out to me. They're not bad by any means, but they're also not memorable. I've tried most of the appetizers, including the mushroom dish that's always recommended. While the mushroom dish is pretty good, nothing I've had here really screams "amazing," especially considering this is now my third visit. Caroline's is a nice spot to hang out, enjoy the atmosphere, and have decent service, but if you're coming strictly for standout food or drinks, this might not be the place. For me, it's been fine, just not impressive.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Rebekah W.

    Went to Caroline for breakfast and had a pretty disappointing experience. The coffee counter was busy and the seated restaurant was also fairly full, but since I was dining solo I asked to sit at the bar. It has a typical hotel on the go grab a coffee and breakfast feel to the place. I was told I couldn't, which was fine -- but then it took 15 minutes before a server came by to offer a drink or even drop off water. During that time, multiple people were seated at the bar and served quickly, which made the wait even more frustrating. Once my order was taken, the food and drink came out promptly. I ordered a juice and the breakfast burrito. The juice was tasty, but definitely overpriced for what it was. The breakfast burrito, however, was extremely disappointing -- barely any egg, not much chicken sausage, and mostly just a giant wrap. I ended up eating the filling out because every bite was mostly tortilla. The side potatoes were cold, undercooked, and not crispy at all. With the number of good reviews, I expected much better from their brunch. Maybe dinner is stronger here, but based on this experience, I don't think I'd return.

    Do they have valet parking?

    Yes but it is through the hotel, Aloft. Caroline will validate but if you stay longer than 2 hours there will be a charge.

    Do we have to make reservations for weekend brunch?

    You cannot make reservations for brunch but if you get there early enough... think 10:30am... you should be fine.

    Is this a baby friendly restaurant?

    Yes. It's a large room with high ceilings so there's note of ambient noise. Smooth floors and should have ample room between tables for a stroller.

    Do they allow dogs on their porch?

    Yes.

But I would still advise getting a reservation. There were three of us and we started out with the pastry of the day and the pull apart cinnamon roll. Both were excellent. Two of us got burgers and one of us got the chicken sandwich after that, and I was very glad that one of the others tried their burger before I did because the pickled onions on it were very spicy! The pickles are also spicy but not as bad as the onions. Once I scrape those off, it was a very tasty burger. The person who ordered the chicken sandwich said it could use a little more seasoning but other than that, it was good. We were going to order drinks but they didn't have the ingredients for the one drink we wanted, so we decided to skip that. The waitstaff was very friendly. We were glad we ordered the pastries first because it did take a while for our food to come out. I definitely recommend going there just to try the pastries! They have a small parking lot but they also own the building to the right of them so you can park in that lot also.

I opted just got an Arnold Palmer but the drink menu had some cute cocktails and mocktails, as well as a nice selection of beer and wine. Instead of bread, our server brought us a basket of seasoned popcorn. The popcorn had almost like a Cajun flair, but it wasn't spicy. It reminded me of the Ground Round chain from when I was a little girl. We decided to try the corndog shrimp appetizer. I couldn't decide on an entree because everything looked so good, so I did the Parmesan chicken and my coworker did the steak salad. The shrimp arrived so quickly with four large pieces of shrimp on a stick wrapped in corn dog batter and fried to a golden brown, with a blueberry mustard dipping sauce. The shrimp were delicious and while I didn't get much of the blueberry in the mustard, I enjoyed the sweetness it provided. My Parmesan chicken was a crispy and juicy breaded chicken cutlet with a lemon cream, artichoke hearts, and what appeared to be prosciutto on top. It was served with a side of pesto couscous with grape tomatoes and cucumbers. I wish I had ordered mashed potatoes on the side, because I wanted something to soak up the lemon cream sauce, which was the highlight of the chicken. We also were served 3 mini cornbread muffins with honey butter. My coworker said the salad was just okay, and was a little on the small side. The desserts were definitely a MUST and if you visit Moonshine and don't save room for the Espresso Brownie or the Peanut Butter Pie, you're going to regret it. The brownie was so fudgey and warm and served with ice cream. It was decadent. The peanut butter pie was the biggest slab of PB pie I've ever had with a thick Oreo crust. I wish I had someone with me to share it, it was huge. Overall, if I lived in the area I would definitely be back to try other things.

    Great menu and food, cozy venue (with indoor and patio seating), efficient server with experience,…read moreand reasonable prices for Austin. Had not been to this restaurant in a good while, and was a last minute decision. Good choice. The whipped feta is always a treat -- light and creamy with a solid feta taste, but not overpowering, served with a few orange slices and thinly sliced almonds, and pita. Special dish! Beet salad excellent, but the Fresno peppers had way too much heat, so pushed them to side. My wife had the Moroccan curry, which had a very spot on Moroccan flavor (been there 3x), and was a large, filling portion so brought home leftovers. I had the grilled pork chop which was large, perfectly grill with a tasty bourbon-based glaze, served with a large roasted garlic clove. Wonderful dish. My wife had a white wine that she enjoyed and my martini, slightly dirty with olives (to start) was a large pour and very smooth. Enjoyable meal in a nice setting once again ...

This place is so intoxicating from the aqua blue color palate and funky green art work to the alluring lighting and huge metal plate (looks like something from a ship...also their logo). My brother said the green artwork looked like broccoli. My brother ordered the Idaho trout with coconut rice and Brussel sprouts. I sampled his food and it was all good. The standout was the Brussel sprouts...crispy with this absolutely delicious drizzle. I ordered the Mezze plate with a flavor explosion and many desirable texture. It had lamb kabobs, fresh salad (emphasis on fresh) with thinly sliced cucumbers, finely sliced onions and creamy feta (never had creamy feta), red round sweet peppers, hummus with the most delightful pesto like sauce, and olives. Oh my...what a delicious lunch! Morgan, our server, was attentive and accomodating. She moved us to another table when we notice our table was rocking a little. Great catching up with my brother and excellent meal!

    My girlfriends and I were on a girls trip in Austin and we decided to stop here for brunch. It was…read moresuch a hit, this restaurant is our vibe and I wish we had it back home. The restaurant itself is decorated so nice, it's picture perfect. I also really appreciate a restaurant committed to having options that are seed oil free, from local farms and also having options without refined sugar. Miranda was our server and she was so kind and attentive. She made sure we had a great experience and was a pleasure to talk to. To eat I ordered the classic breakfast and to drink I had the vanilla maca. I didn't love the vanilla maca, and I only blame myself for that. I have never had maca so I didn't know what to expect but the drink basically tasted like a chocolate protein shake. Which isn't bad but I wanted like more of a latte so that was on me. My meal however? Loved it. Everything was so flavorful and hit the spot exactly with what I wanted. I also really appreciate a salad with breakfast since this helps lower your glucose spike and so when a restaurant offers this I know they know true wellness!!! My girlfriends both ordered the avocado toast and loved it. One ordered the cherry vanilla limeade and enjoyed it as well, but as an avid cherry hater I didn't try it...but if you like cherry she recommends it! I would come back to Austin just to eat here again. So good. So jealous this isn't back home... did I mention that already??!!

    I wanted to like this restaurant, but they made it hard to do. We started off with the guacamole…read more The pomegranate seeds on top were a nice touch, but man, this was flavorless. It was painfully boring. We had our 6-year-old, who is head of the Picky Eaters Society, so we ordered bread with butter. This 6-year-old, who eats bread on the daily, took one bite and wouldn't eat any more. We even get gluten-free bread regularly, and he eats it. The bread was fine, but don't expect flavor. By some miracle, they even made butter tasteless. I considered calling the Vatican to see if this was some holy, divine miracle, but my wife suggested maybe the main course would be better. We settled on the pesto pasta with chicken added for an additional fee. The pasta was good. Great texture, good flavor, and the combination of ingredients was good, but it's nothing original. It's pesto pasta. It's a classic. I appreciate the pomegranate seeds on the guacamole because it's original, it's clever, and it's different. We also ordered a special soda drink for our son, and it had a small black bug on top. I had them take it back and replace it. I kind of expected a "Listen, we apologize for the bug. Here's half off dinner," or something, but nothing. Service was fine, and it's a decent atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to sit and talk it's a great place, but if you want food or a drink go somewhere else.

    Restaurant week restaurant number one, and I was definitely not disappointed. Had a reservation and…read moregot sat near the same area as the first time and the gentleman who assisted me was also there. Of course, now I cannot remember their name however they also recalled me which was a nice little ketchup and a welcome back to the restaurant. For $75 you got four courses, including an appetizer pallet cleanser, main course and then dessert. The appetizer I went with the whipped ricotta that came with focaccia bread. It was a smaller version than their normal appetizer, but still just as tasty. Second course was a summer melon salad and this just paired beautifully to be nice light and refreshing right before you ended up having your main meal. This was a full-size so I definitely had leftovers. third course I went with the. smoke pork shoulder, which came out in a decent size I would say a full-size mill. The sauce with it as well as the sweet potatoes. Very nicely there was some seasoning on there that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I wish I would've asked what was on it overall very decent dish. Last but not least was dessert, which was the brown butter cake. And y'all when I say this was amazing. I'm so glad I saved room specifically for this because everything on it was delightful. The cake was soft and room temperature. The pecans on it were nice and candied. Very tasty. Also kind of soft due to sautéing. I wasn't too much of a fan of them meringue so I didn't eat that part of it. and the cinnamon gelato scoop on top pair really nicely as well. Overall, very consistent service from entering the restaurant to being sat to having the staff assist you. They definitely have a good teamwork system where someone sees that your plates finish or they ask for someone to assist if they might have their hands full. I really enjoy that about this restaurant.

    Excellent special occasional experience…read more I remember enjoying Intero when I first visited a few years back. For what reason, we haven't visited in sometime but decided to give it a try again since they are now a member of InKind. This place ended up being even better than I recall from our last visit! The service here was excellent, from the greetings at the door to the drink service, to the waitstaff, everyone was super attentive in our recent visit. We started the evening with some drinks, and I have to say that the "City Folk" beverage I ordered was a very delicious flip type drink. The focaccia with whipped butter is a hard appetizer to go wrong with, and the Wagyu beef carpaccio is also a great choice (in fact, these make a delicious combination). The melon apps are also quite good. For mains, we tried the moda famiglia (which was a very heathy serving size), the roasted oyster mushroom pizza (very good), Wagyu beef sausage (savory and mild meat), and rigatoni (honestly the mild horseradish cream really elevated this dish). Altogether there wasn't anything we didn't like. For dessert, we just got the house made chocolates, which were both fun to taste test and also quite delicious. The interior continues to give a dark, intimate sort of vibe (which makes it perfect for a date spot).
