Cured Smoked Salmon
Lexi M.

A group of us went to celebrate a birthday and reserved a table. Our server and manager were very attentive and the service was great. I didn't get pictures or everything but we had tasty food and drinks. The fresh oysters were fantastic and everyone was happy with their food. The potatoes were shared. Between the Bellinis, Old Fashioned and lots of champagne we were happy there. They also brought out a little birthday dessert for the birthday girl. Parking is a bit of a challenge. Valeting is the way to go but there is parking nearby but with a walk if you prefer to park yourself.

My girl Maren knew her stuff! She was absolutely the sweetest and everything she recommended was fantastic. The food was so good I was thinking about it the next day and knew I had to share it on Yelp! We got a 6:30 reservation and it was perfect; not too loud or too busy yet. We started with the bread rolls and HOLY! Those things just melted in your mouth and the butter with them was chef's kiss. Maren absolutely rocked my world by recommending the salmon. It came with a thick hash brown-like patty underneath, and it was so well done. The flavor was insane. The rigatoni was fab as well. It had a little kick, but nothing crazy. Now let's get to that toffee cake pudding. W O W. I have nothing else to say besides seriously save room for this in your stomach. Next time I definitely want to check out the cool bar in the back too. The burgers looked awesome

Had a reservation for 6:45, SXSW road closures had another idea. Didn't arrive until 7:10 and I did call beforehand to inform them. They weren't very busy and got a seat at the bar. Very friendly staff and attentive. Only recommendation would be to give the rundown for newbies. I mentioned it was my first time in and didn't get any insight. Surprisingly a couple sat near me with a different bartender and they were given a rundown of the concept as well as what they are known for. I got the Cesar salad and the pork chop both recommended by the bartender. Salad came out quickly and was delicious, crisp lettuce and enough dressing. The pork chop too a hot minute. To the point where the couple that ordered after me was almost done with their meal before it arrived. Sooo, not sure where the disconnect was. That same couple finished their meal and left before I was half way through my meal. The pork chop was worth the wait and cooked perfectly. The Brussel sprouts were also crispy and seasoned well. The restaurant had a chill vibe and definitely liked it once the sun went down as the interior lighting really set the mood. You get to walk by the open kitchen line to use the restroom and see the Sun room across from the kitchen. The restrooms were great! Love the decor and the full individual stalls. Only recommendation would be to upgrade the locks to 'occupied/vacant' as it's hard to tell which are available. They def were busier when I left. They do have valet, no self parking and I used a ride share as I knew parking would be tight. I'd love to go back and try a few other things on their menu.

Dining at Eberly was truly one of the best experiences I've had in Austin this past year. Every ingredient in each dish stood out on its own and brought such a unique, thoughtful flavor to the meal. The restaurant itself was beautiful and quaint, which made the whole evening feel even more special. Even though we came in close to closing, the service was still great, and we will definitely be recommending Eberly to everyone we know.

Holiday party #4 - What a lovely Finance Holiday party at Eberly. It has been about two weeks since I had dinner at Eberly during another Finance meeting. Tonight, we were on the roof top of Eberly, which I had never frequented. Sometimes, your mind conjures up a vision of what a venue might be like, and then you are pleasantly surprised. That was the case tonight. I imagined a roof top that opened to the outside elements and potentially cold since its currently 50 degrees in Austin, TX. The roof top is an enclosed large area and aesthetically pleasing. The roof top is at the back of the building and literally next door to the railroad tracks. A train passed by during the holiday party...somewhat spooky and unexpected. When you step outside you can see a panoramic view of Austin, TX...so beautiful. The roof top has indoor and outdoor luxurious seating. The fellowship with like-minded folks is always uplifting. We dined on bites along with an open bar. Food included a charcuterie board, short rib and chicken sliders, potato balls, spinach cups and shrimp. The evening ended with cheesecake and fruit tartlets. Holidays parties are just fun because you have an opportunity to converse with your colleagues in a completely informality setting. Certainly, there will be laughter and some tall stories. The finance party was one of the highlights of the week. The mixologists served a curated array of adult beverages as well as tailored drinks to your liking. Many guests commented on the wine quality and the expert mixes of holiday spirits. Tonight, Eberly hosted 4 parties, and this contributed to some backup with the valet. It is important to note that valet services are free. Overall, a very pleasant evening with Finance colleagues.

Aperol Spritz & Tavern Fries
Daniel S.

This review is specifically for Cedar Tavern, which is attached to Eberly. It's a more casual space featuring a beautiful mahogany bar brought in from New York City in the 1800s, now enjoying its second life here in Austin. I stopped in for a solo happy hour and sat at the bar, though there are plenty of tables both inside and outside to choose from. They were running an Aperol Spritz special, which I enjoyed but there are also several martini options available during happy hour. For food I ordered the fries which were extra indulgent with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan on top. I didn't try the burger special, but it looked delicious from the guest next to me. There are also plenty of larger entrées if you're looking for a full dinner. The bartenders were friendly and attentive, which rounded out a great experience. Cedar Tavern will definitely be one of my go-to happy hour spots moving forward.

Tried Cedar Tavern on a Tuesday evening with friends. This is a separate restaurant from Eberly, located in the back of the space? A little confusing and the location does not come up on apple or google maps. Their happy hour is great with $7 cocktails and affordable snacks. The place was quite packed for a Tuesday evening and there was one server for the entire back space (Cedar Tavern). Our server was very nice but the service took way too long. We waited at least 30 minutes to order our drinks and had to quickly place our food orders before he left our table. The wait for the food was quite long as well and our water was never refilled. The Tavern burger was easy to eat but not nearly good enough for its price of $20. Overall, the staff were friendly, the restaurant was gorgeous, but the food and service were subpar. Would be willing to try again but wouldn't recommend!

Met some friends for a birthday gathering here last week and had a great time. Our waitress let us know they still had happy hour until 7pm which was a nice surprise! We were seated at a table for 4 and could easily hear each other talk unlike many places these days which are so loud inside. We enjoyed sharing HH and non HH items including espresso martini's, regular dry gin martinis, oysters, mushrooms, and crab cake. It had been a couple to few years since I'd last dined at Eberly and was reminded of what a nice restaurant it is for meeting. They also offered "complimentary" valet parking which is helpful given how hard it is to park in that area! I look forward to my next Eberly adventure.

It is a beautiful restaurant that comes with a high price tag. The bar, dining areas, and even the shared restroom is gorgeous. When we tried to make a reservation for a group of 14 they said they wouldn't be able to accommodate a party that big unless we booked the private room which had a spending minimum. So we booked two tables instead, but when we arrived 15 minutes early we found out that our tables had been given away. They worked quickly to arrange a large table for us that was able to accommodate everyone in our group at one table. Are server seemed a bit flustered at first and then was able to get all the recommendations and drinks going for everyone at the table. The wine was good, but the steak was not to my expectations. I love wagyu steak and it is very rare that I get a chance to have it so off courses I ordered it. It was not evenly cooked throughout with several pieces being less done than the others and when it was delivered. I ordered the steak medium and thought it was more medium rare. I think if I had gotten the opportunity to get an appetizer or desert it could have resided my review, but based on my experience I wouldn't be in a hurry to go back.

Flavors were really tasty but I was pretty sad about the oysters. They were tiny but did taste good overall. I feel the same about the rest of the good-- yummy but small. The rigatoni was rich and had good depth. The lobster pasta was also extremely tasty!

Eberly is a beautiful restaurant with a sophisticated yet friendly vibe. They have COMPLIMENTARY VALET parking, which was unheard of for me. It made the experience so much more seamless and stress-free. The food and drinks were good. The portion size of my Harlem Nights drink was generous - quite literally filled to the brim. My rigatoni portion however was not as generous (although it was very tasty and fresh). It did not take long for me to finish it, and I was still hungry after. My friend got the spagettini and it was very good, but the portion size could've been a little bigger as well. We also got the sticky toffee pudding for dessert - very good. Overall, great food and great atmosphere, just not a fan of the portion sizes. HUGE fan of the complimentary parking (shoutout out to Anthony!)

Eberly was everything I envisioned and more! From the bodacious rolls to the indulgent pasta, this spot provides a meal (and atmosphere) to remember. If you're not smitten by the atmosphere alone, I question your taste. But If youre not smitten by the atmosphere and are equally unimpressed by the food, I'm not sure you have a soul lol. I grabbed the only whiskey cocktail on menu paired with carrot and thyme, and while I was a little skeptical, once the concoction touched my lips I knew I was in for a good trip! This baby was surprisingly balanced! Additionally, my coworker suggested the oysters, and I'm so glad they did! They were silky, fresh, perfection with the perfect toppings to pair. From there we snacked on a few items, the polenta with carrots being the most interesting and imo delicious. The mushroom pasta recommended by one of the bartenders was equally impressive. The texture was unbelievably silky. It only took two of us to devour the entire order of milk bread! As the cherry on top, the stories behind each dish are equally impressive! I highly suggest asking your servers about your dish. This is one of those dining experiences that will have you touting the Austin dining scene! This is an experienced to be savored!

Parking - valet Restaurant - has several sections and several vibes. There are two bars, one in the main restaurant and one at the back. There's a mix of booths, tables, and high top bar. Service - professional and friendly. I have only had attentive and good experiences here. A call out to Sade who was one step ahead - I was always with a drink, app, answers, etc. Food - I prefer the dinner menu which is filled with fresh items, oysters, beef tartare, halibut, etc. Well balanced, not overcooked, and seasoned perfectly. Drinks - long list of different cocktails, wines, and more. I love that the drinks are made fresh and cute details are added, like a floating small flower in my cup. Bathrooms - always clean and are shared for both genders

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.

(RIP Chuck Negron) This was my "Must go to" spot on the first day we were here...and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! I made a reservation per recommendation on their website and I am glad I did. As the evening went on it got very busy. The foyer where you check in reminded me of the lobby of a small theatre.

The hostess led us upstairs to the smaller loft bar and told us to sit where ever we wanted...So, we sat with a review to the entire place! We ordered food and drinks from their huge cocktail menu. We watched the bartender make both drinks with fascination. *BTW The bartenders here need to know how to make every cocktail by heart and there are over 50 specialty cocktails!

The food and drinks were crafted with meaning, focus and quality ingredients that really justified the price they had set. We ordered their garlic hummus, seasoned nuts and whole bunch of appetizers I don't recall all, but everything stood out. Talking about cocktails- The bartened was extraordinary. We had French 75, Cosmopolitan, Old fashioned, Espresso Martini, El Presidente. In a group of 5 people, we definitely ordered multiple rounds of each. I tried their signature drink called Painkiller (about $20) and also another with blended 12 yr old blended scotch . Left sufficiently satisfied and I will visit this place again in Austin for drinks and some bar bites.

When you enter, you'll see the infamous black paint on white walls mural but then you're transformed into something more. An elegant and elevated high-end speakeasy that transports you to what life in speakeasy settings must have felt like in the days of olde. Who doesn't love being greeted by a tasteful, giant, fake bear with welcome cocktails? The low-lit space brings a feeling of warmth, secrecy, romance, and mystery. You absolutely get the feeling you're in a special and secret hideaway space. From the refined wallpaper to hand blown glass lighting fixtures to the lush and velvety sofa seating, you are truly immersed in the vibe. It brings a feeling of noir and romance with even sexier drinks. Being seated in one of the nooks is my favorite and just really adds to the overall experience. If you follow my reviews then you know I often refer to excellent cocktails as liquid works of art. And, in this case, it's like the most exclusive, high-end art gallery of liquid masterpieces. Cocktails with branded cubes, top tier alcohol and other ingredients from around the globe make for a worthy piece of drinkable art. It doesn't end with cocktails! The mocktails are equally as beautiful and delicious. I highly recommend the cocktails and mocktails. Service is exactly what you would expect and want it to be in this environment. Yes, the prices are a bit higher than average but you're paying for art, atmosphere, and experience that is beyond wonderful.

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.

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.
