Wow! That was the first word that came to mind after my first bite here. I had dinner here with my wife and a work colleague last Saturday after we checked in at the Fairmont. Everything is pretty much grilled over an oak grill and the kitchen is open for all to see the well oiled choreography of the chefs. We had the strip loin with grilled shishito and broccolini, the hand made bucatini pasta with the Dungeness crab and uni butter, and the porkchop. We shared the grilled home made sourdough with avocado butter. This was addicting so watch out how much you eat. We also shared the grilled butternut squash. Oh...I can't forget the home made tater tot squares with the aerated gruyere cheese and shave black truffle. The wine selection here is really good as well. My wife enjoyed the meal so much that she returned the next evening when I worked at the tradeshow across the street. This was the best restaurant in a hotel that I have been to besides the Addison at the Del Mar Fairmont in San Diego. The Austin food scene rocks! read more

If you've ever wanted to eat the inventive dishes you see on Iron Chef, come to this restaurant. The menu is amazing, the plating is beautiful, and the atmosphere is comfy, homey and upscale. (Hard combo to achieve!) I opted to sit at bar and when I turned around I realized that I was the first person since the doors just opened. Star treatment x2! Sitting at the bar was amazing. As the restaurant became busier, it was like dinner and a show since the bar faces the open kitchen. It was great to see all the magic behind the scenes and the chef runs a clean, tight kitchen. Efficient and orderly. As a side note, this place is hard to find within the hotel. It's behind another restaurant and you have to walk through the other hotel to get to Garrison. The exterior looks like a house and it works with the theme of the other restaurant somehow. I had to ask a hotel employee for directions. On the food side, I was lucky enough to try five items: Citrus Cured Fluke Crudo - fluke with paper thin slices of kohlrabi and other amazing flavors and textures. It's so complex in flavor and texture that the best I can do to describe it is a complex sashimi dish having a party in your mouth. Tater tots - It's delicious squares of lightly riced potatoes. Crispy outside with a smooth melt in your mouth feel. Add the aerated gruyere and some shaved truffle and it's heaven. Order this. Actually order two of this; it's that good. Fermented Carrot "Embers" - spicy and complex! The red pepper harissa on top gives your taste buds a kick! The dill yogurt sauce helps to balance it out, but it's still intense! Wood-Fired Avocado - imagine a perfectly ripe avocado grilled and charred to perfection. The smoothness of the avocado is heightened by the strawberries. Then for a change in texture take a bit of the sourdough crisp and ennnjjjoy. So good. It's about a third of an avocado. Grilled Pork Chop - The pork chop was just as good as everything else and artfully plated. It was cooked perfectly- so tender and moist. The polenta it sat on had tons of herbs and pieces of corn in it. Super smooth and full of umami flavor. The garish was celery leaves which I thought was interesting. It was a good sized portion. With all that I tried I did not have any room for dessert. I already plan on coming back to this hidden gem at the Fairmont Hotel and now have a plan of going easy on the appetizers to give the desserts a try! read more

What amazing food! Had the swordfish. Such an experience and on par with Fairmont ambiance. It's expensive but every single bite was a nice treat. And speaking of treat, they did serve us some pre dinner and post dinner sweets. A really nice touch. Staff was amazing of course and I'd definitely go back again! Wish I remembered his name but a funny and charming guy from the Ukraine helped us that night. read more

Celebrated my wife's birthday here this past Saturday, and can't say enough good things about the service and culinary experience. We were treated so graciously by Lexi upon arrival, and JR was our primary server. He gave perfect recommendations for menu items and wine. It was great how everyone worked together to ensure a wonderful dining experience. We had Jasper, Kaitlyn, and Haley who also helped out during our dinner. Last but not least, Ran, the manager, was so genuine and gracious to stop by and wish my wife a happy birthday. Thank you! read more

Decor is horrendous but the service and foods is surprisingly very good. We got the following: Fluke Crudo- one of my favorite dishes (I don't even like raw fish) Warmed ricotta- asked for a side of cucumbers instead of bread. Omgosh, deliciousness. Bought a bucket of ricotta the day after thinking I can remake this dish but who am I kidding. Partner got the poached cod fish - he enjoyed it I got the Striploin - this dish had so much flavor. The meat was perfectly cooked and tender. Kinda melts in your mouth. Loved the Shishito and broccolini incorporated into the dish and the sauce was amazing. Then we both got the soufflé. It came with a scoop of sorbet that we thought didn't go with the dessert but by itself was fine. The soufflé itself is good/ok we'd go back for it since I can't find soufflé in Austin anywhere else but I thought it was a little too airy/fluffy. I'd prefer them more dense. Maybe we got a bad batch. Anyway, I'd give it another try. read more

The ambiance is so nice. I was staying in this hotel and everything about it was just impressive... including the restaurant! Porterhouse: It was perfectly cooked at medium rare. Tender, juicy and just melted in my mouth. Not sure what it was seasoned with but it definitely brought out all the flavors of the meat! Chocolate Soufflé: The chocolate was so aromatic! In order to cool down the Soufflé, they pour in room temperature chocolate from the divots they make at the top. So it was a good temperature and flavor. read more

My husband and I made reservations for an anniversary dinner and were genuinely surprised. We saw good reviews online and decided to give it a try but our initial thoughts were the vibe was almost Vegas? You have to walk through an almost food court to get to the restaurant. The service and quality though really blew us away. Super attentive service without being TOO attentive. Everything we ate felt left us smiling. Our photos don't even cover everything we ordered. First off get the tots. They are worth the money and such a good side dish. My husband got the duck and I ordered the eye of rib. Both were perfect. Excellently cooked and the drinks we ordered to accompany them came out promptly. Normally dessert is where a restaurant falls short. They put a lot of effort into their mains and apps but phone it in on dessert. Quite literally everything on their dessert menu is art. You won't be disappointed! I had such a hard time deciding which was best and we got nearly everything on the dessert menu... To the staff, again thank you so much for an amazing night. We've already told all of our friends and family in the area to stop in for dinner and we can't wait to return! read more

We celebrated our 16th wedding and found the perfect spot in Austin....the newly opened The Garrison. Hotel food never impressed me. In fact I avoid eating in hotels when I travel. But The Garrison in The Fairmont in Austin is certainly the exception. They have carved out a wonderful dining experience using the freshest ingredients and artistic presentation to create memorable gastronomic dishes (whew, what a mouthful...literally). We started with the Lamb Tatar with Pickled Mustard Seed and Horseradish Cream Sauce...WOW!!! We followed that up with a smoked avocado with Hamachi...again it was outstanding. For our mains we had the BBQ Cauliflower...(must find this recipe), the Tater Tots with Gruyere Cheese and Truffles...too good for words to describe, and the bone in Rib Eye!! I've read other reviews commenting on their lack of service. They have fixed that issue now that they've been opened a few months. We were treated like royalty. The Manager Alex Gonzales personally greeted us and spent time at our table truly interested in our dining. Our waiter Alvin couldn't have been more attentive and suggested just the right wine to go with our delectables. The Chef de Cuisine Jason Purcell also came table side to check on us. This was beyond our expectations! The decor is contemporary and very comfortable with tables placed far enough apart so you don't have to listen to fellow diners conversations. Go...explore....eat. read more

What a gem of a place. My wife and I are big foodies and recently moved to Austin from Los Angeles. We've been to numerous Michelin one star and two star restaurants and the quality of food here ranks amongst the very best of them (Michelin ratings are not in Austin btw). The dishes are creative and taste amazing. I never thought I would be raving about a potato dish yet here I am worshipping their tater tots! The staff is courteous and helpful. The ambience is wonderful. High end dining at its finest. Will definitely be back for special occasions. read more

Excellent excellent excellent!!! We tried the Foies gras torchon,octopus,beets,carrots and for dessert try the chocolate and strawberry This place is awesome I was blown away because everything we tried was flawless.

If you want to have overpriced, burnt tasting sour food, come here! I literally could not taste anything except sour flavor profiles. I know they're supposed to be known for charred food for a smokiness but it tastes literally burnt. I was so confused why this place had good reviews... The only dishes I enjoyed were the truffle tots and bourbon dessert. Severely disappointed... don't come here and save your money. read more

The Garrison is good, but not worth the money. When we first arrived, we were a little surprised at the interior. It was small, but not intimate, with very high ceilings and an studio lighting? We found interior design and overall layout a little strange, but ambiance is subjective and of different importance to each diner. We started with the crispy octopus, tartare and grouper crudo (not pictured) which were the highlight. Our mains, the branzino and quail, were a bit underwhelming. The quail was stuffed with a subpar dressing which took away from the flavour of the actual bird (which was good). The truffle tots were good, but the gruyere could have been reduced less to hold more flavour. Desserts were tasty but nothing too spectacular. The service was exceptional however, all members of the staff were very attentive. I believe The Garrison's reputation has been slightly inflated by its pricetag and location inside the Fairmont. Is it a quality restaurant with good service and food? Sure. Is it one of the best restaurants in Austin? No. read more

Went here on a recent work trip and came with a bunch of my colleagues so we were able to share a lot of items. Walking up the restaurant is very modern looking with a clean design. The staff was all very nice and attentive and did a great job wrangling our large group. To start off we shared a couple of starters. We trued the Beef Tartare, Parker house rolls, roasted scallops, and the caviar. My favorite was the scallops the mix of the scallops and grapefruit was light and refreshing. The caviar was also good and had such a beautiful presentation. The rolls and tartare were good but bit especially special. For the mains we shared the Branzino and Tomahawk steak with the hassle back potatoes and tater tots as a side. The steak was amazing and I really enjoyed the horseradish cream that came with it. The tater tots were one if the highlights of the meal for me as well, they are so crispy and absolutely delicious. It did feel like for the meal that in some cases they were leaning on the wow factor of certain things (truffle, caviar etc) but for a fun treat yourself dinner its a great spot. read more

My wife and I came here to celebrate her birthday and I was not disappointed. The food and service was great. Our waiter was very helpful and recommended stuff for us and they all came out great. We had the grilled octopus and the mole with it was great. I just wish I had more of it. We tried the tator tots and for me I thought it was very different but different as in good. The truffle with it was great. Then with our entree we got the branzino which surprisingly was my favorite of the night over the wagyu. The chickpea and sauce were amazing! I would recommend it. The wagyu wit potatoes were great, too. On top of this our waiter gave my wife a free glass of wine and cake for her birthday. My wife and I would highly recommend this place and we will be back again!! The only thing I would recommend to the restaurant is that we sat at the bar and the seats were uncomfortable. The seats barely had any cushions. So the whole night we both had to reposition our bottoms to get comfortable. But this is a small thing I can forget since the food and service were exceptional. read more

Tucked away in the back of the back of the Fairmont hotel, the Garrison has the feel of an upscale restaurant in Vegas. The staff seated us quickly, but keep an extra 5-10 min to get through parking and walking once you arrive. On attire, we dressed in cocktail dresses and felt comfortable, but there were plenty of rowdy guests in the main hotel bar area wearing much more casual clothing. We went for the $125 Valentine's Day tasting menu with no substitutions. I wouldn't say I left hungry, but after a night cap we went to grab grilled cheese from a local food truck. Here's what I liked: - staff was super friendly and helpful in recommending wines, not pushing us to hurry - wagyu course tasted more like a prime rib but the sauces were good. Bordelaise was 11/10. - presentation was very nice, especially the dessert course with glitter Disliked or could be improved: - number of courses: the oyster course was presented as "from the chef," implying it was an amuse-bouche course. No, we paid for that. Very odd. The second course was presented as the first course. So strange. If they truly wanted to wow guests they should keep an amuse bouche off the menu. - flow of the courses and flavors: we had an oyster with a sauce that tasted like warm Greek yogurt, aside it was a tasty tallow soaked beef tartare, then went to a fish course then back to starch, then back to fish then to meat. We didn't go for a wine pairing and there wasn't really one or two wines that went with any of the courses well. - overall taste: the sauces were good. I liked that they innovated with the green cilantro? oil mixed with buttermilk to drizzle on the fish. It looked pretty. Bordelaise on the steak was perfect. Most of the dishes had a sauce I couldn't get enough of. BUT the main components were lacking in flavor. The cake was dry and dull, steak was more like a rib roast, even the maitake mushroom could have used some salt and pepper. I did love the fresh fish in the kanpachi and could have had more but overall none of the dishes were outstanding enough to bring me back. read more

Great service; professional waiting manners including the hostess. The foods are excellent: delicious, creative, and beautiful. I recommend the tater tots, homemade toasts with avocado butter, the crudos, and the beef shank. Just keep in mind that the beef shank is enough to feed two the three people, so don't get overboard with the appetizers unless you don't mind taking the rest home. The giant bone will be perfect for your canine friends! The drinks are well done. I had the Old Fashioned. The only thing I did not like were the chairs by the counter. They were awkwardly high and very uncomfortable. read more

The flavors are often unique and certainly not combinations I would have thought of but so delicious. Try their cocktails, too, very creative. The valet parking is validated, too. read more

My wife and I decided to go experience the Fairmont Hotel Garrison restaurant and it was truly an experience we will never forget. The hostess Lexi was polite and professional welcoming us and taking us to our table. Our waiter Jasper is an excellent server. He is professional, respectful and patient with all the questions we had about the entrees and alcohol beverages. His knowledge of recommending entrees and alcohol beverages were excellent and throughout the evening checked on us and refilling our drinks. I highly recommend his services. Of course, we cannot forget to thank Chef Johnny in making excellent entrees that made our night well remembered. We will be looking forward going back to enjoy another wonderful evening at the Garrison. read more

We were staying at the Fairmont for a wedding, and we booked the Garrison for the night we arrived, because the reviews were excellent, and seating times were available on a holiday weekend. It was a little odd having to walk through another restaurant to get to Garrisons, but that was fine. Everything started off well. Our waiter was incredible: knowledgeable, friendly, willing to suggest without being pushy. we were a little surprised that there were only 3 beef items on the menu, given that we were told this was a "steak house", and with one of the steaks listed at 24 ounces, and the tomahawk weighing in at 40, the only real choice was the center cut ribeye, which was only 7 ounces. I felt a bit like Goldilocks, with this steak too big, and that steak too small, but nothing just right, so when the waiter recommended the duck, we both thought we would give it a try. He also suggested the bread dish for an opener, as well as the tuna crudo, and he said that if it was our first time there we absolutely had to try their signature tater tots. we were a bit shocked that tater tots could be $35.00, even coming from NYC, but they were covered in gruyere cheese and shaved truffles, which explained the price. And so, away we went. The first course was pretty amazing. The rolls were fresh from the oven, covered in butter and salt, and served with a honey butter. Outstanding. The tuna crudo consisted of large slices of fish with a smoky sauce, topped with a raspberry granite, and something else both sour and spicy. The combination of flavors was both interesting and delicious. We couldn't wait for the main course. And then it came. The duck was generally well prepared, red on the inside the way we like it, and it was served atop some foie gras, and brioche, and topped with shaved truffle. i bit into the duck expecting the kind of flavorful dish we found in the tuna, but instead it was just ok. The duck itself was bland, almost begging for salt or some spice, and the foie gras, which i am never fond of, was soft and did nothing for the duck. And the truffle did nothing for any part of the dish, and almost seemed like an afterthought, as it didn't meld with any of the other flavors. Again it was ok, but just ok, and by being ok it was disappointing. Then there were the tater tots. They looked luscious, smothered in melted Gruyère, and again, topped with shaved slices of truffle, but again, it didn't work. The large slices of truffle were impressive, but since they weren't broken down they never mixed with the Gruyère, which was melted so thin it didn't have the traditionally strong flavoring of that cheese, which is generally one of my favorites. the tots themselves were more liked cubed potato pancakes, without the fried crunch you expect from a tot, and they badly needed salt. Once you put one in your mouth and the thin layer of Gruyère melted in your mouth, the rest of the potato was kind of tasteless. In all, the main course was very disappointing. On the brighter side, the service was impeccable all night, and i think if i went back there and had a steak for a main course It would probably be fine. read more

One of the best meals I've ever had. I was here solo due to a work trip and decided to check this place out based on the Yelp reviews. I'm SO glad I stopped in. I went for dinner and ordered a Cab that was recommended by the waiter. I was not disappointed. As an app, I ordered the Black Truffle Tater Tots and I'm pretty sure it was the most delicious thing I've ever had in my life. Combining my favorites of Potatoes, cheese, and black truffles in the most amazing way, I'm getting hungry just thinking of it now. For the entree I ordered the Waygu Ribeye with the Okra and it was equally amazing. Perfectly cooked and every texture was included in this dish. Amazing. If you're deciding whether to go here, just stop reading and make a reservation. You will not be disappointed. read more

We had the pleasure of experiencing a pairing dinner at Garrison this week. What a treat! Each course was a work of art, each cocktail a masterpiece, and the beers highly unique and complex. This was very much a Michelin Star experience. Exquisite food and drink, attentive (but not intrusive) service, and a staff that was obviously very passionate about the experience they were providing. For instance, the Beverage Director for the hotel greeted our table and very modestly explained the extraordinary lengths that were taken to produce the cocktail we were drinking - SIX days of preparation developing the ingredients in the Fairmont's on site laboratory. Wow! This is such a gem to find such luxury, such quality and such humble hospitality. We can't wait to dine at Garrison again! read more

This probably the worst chef menu. Wine pairing option was not designed to pair with the menu. The pasta with fish souce and lobster (too much fish souce) pairing with sake?? Ramen, fish , sushi , etc should be ok. You can't taste the lobster. The food was in my opinion very mediocre. Stay with a La Carte menu, perhaps you have a better luck. Love: the water, nice decor Hate : In the hotel ( guess about $$), the menu was too sweet. Pairing not compliment to the food. The Foie Gras tested like sweet , you can't taste the liver. Past experience : Petrus (U.K.) , Pujol ( Mexico City) and many more...., You need to try and judge for yourself, I can be the only guy. Best of luck !! read more

This place does not get the 5 stars from me for a couple reasons. First, the food is overpriced and not worth the portion that you are getting. For context, I had the wagyu and it was far from being worth 65$. Next, the menu is kind of small with not a lot of food options available. Lastly, the service wasn't the best and was very spotty at times. I understand that I am being critical it is just I have had way better experiences at places like Eddie V's. I am giving this restaurant 4 stars because the food is good and the aesthetic of the spot is top notch but there are just too many drawbacks keeping it from that 5-star rating. read more

I cannot say enough amazing things regarding this restaurant and every single staff member we encountered. I booked a reservation on Open Table to surprise and celebrate my husband's birthday. The day before our reservation Garrison messaged me to find out his name. Already attentive! We arrived and the hostess immediately said: "Happy Birthday Brandon" to my husband. We sat and they offered and poured us complimentary champagne to celebrate. Several of the servers throughout the evening greeted him with Happy Birthday. Literally the entire restaurant knew and were prepared. We were so impressed. Service-top notch! extremely professional and team oriented. I've dined at so many places where only the server is in charge of the table and it shows with delays, etc. Every single person passing us played a part to our dining experience and the team mindset was clear and led to a stellar experience. Food-SO good. The last restaurant we visited and were impressed with was Hestia. I noticed the menu had a similar theme "wood smoked"...but the execution was significantly better. We had the crispy grilled octopus as an appetizer and it was the BEST octopus we have ever had. We traveled to Greece, Portugal, Spain and yet this was the best we have ever tasted. The light smoky flavor, tender meat...but what makes it stand apart is the crispy texture. Most octopus is grilled, but not crispy. I'm not sure how they they did it but we loved it. Tator tots with truffle-to die for. Great flavor and texture and the truffle is a great accent without being overpowering. The mushroom side dish we hesitated on because we had something similar at Hestia and the umami flavor was so intense 2 bites were enough. We decided against it but the server decided to bring it to us complimentary and it was delicious. Flavorful, yet maintaining it's delicate note. Not overpowering. Entrees I had the Branzino-again my best and I've had Branzino in many countries as well. My husband got their waygu steak and loved it. We ended with dessert-chocolate souffle. Overall extremely impressed. Worth the high dollar amount. 5 stars hands down which I haven't given any restaurant in Austin in a long time (years) because we are so picky. But well done Garrison-we will be back! read more

Love the food and ambiance amazing service! Very tasty with great wine selection. The Fairmont Hotel is the best hotel in Austin.

If you've ever wanted to recreate a meal you had in one of those "it feels like you're outdoors but you're really in a mall" restaurants in Vegas, you've come to the right place. The food was pretty good, if you're ok with a very undersized steak. Cocktails were forgettable. Wine list not bad. But nothing really stood out about the experience. You could be anywhere. But mostly Vegas. Which is probably why it was half-empty on a Friday night. But I guess there's something to be said about not needing to get a reservation these days? And yes, it's in Fairmont, so the crowd is bachelorette parties from out of town and guys really trying to impress their Bumble dates. But if you're looking for fairly pricey meal, with no wait and a very attentive waitstaff, you could do a lot worse. Or maybe just go somewhere else. read more

My daughter and I went out with clients to Garrison. It is inside the Fairmont hotel nestled in the back past a couple of bars and restaurants. This place was a delicious and wonderful reprieve from the heavier and more down home fair. The service was top notch and the food was really out of this world. We were celebrating a special recognition in the group and the server was attentive and sweet brought out champagne toast for us to include a non alcoholic for my daughter. She's a picky eater so they catered to her off menu. And the chef flexed his muscles and sent us samples of the appetizers sides and desserts (although amongst the 6 of us we ordered almost the whole menu). I highly recommend. Hands down best meal I have had in Austin. read more

We go to this restaurant and stay at the hotel every year for our dating anniversary. This year we celebrated our anniversary with some friends. The food is great but the service is where the Garrison and the Fairmont hotel truly shine. I had the redfish, which was okay overall, but I really liked the duck special that a friend had ordered. In addition, another friend claimed the chicken was the one of the best chicken dishes he's ever had. My girlfriend ordered the pork chop with belly and enjoyed it (Only had a video of the mains, sorry!). Love the tator tots and pretty desserts, we'll be back next year! read more
