Once we walked through Manny's, we were greeted right away and since we had a reservation, we were seated promptly. Quick heads up: cell phones aren't allowed inside -- they take your phone and give you a key to a locker where it's stored for the night. The idea is to keep everyone present and engaged with each other instead of their screens (they do make exceptions for emergencies or on-call situations, at the business's discretion). I actually love the reasoning behind it, even though I wished I had my phone to snap pictures of the inside! The space itself is dark and moody with major art deco Miami vibes, like something out of the 80s-90s. Think pink velvet draped everywhere, a life-size taxidermy leopard in the middle of the bar, and flamingo sculptures scattered throughout. It's gorgeous. There's plenty of seating between the booths/couches and the bar, and they seat you according to your party size. We got a plush half-circle booth with a table that fit all of us perfectly -- great sightlines too, so everyone could see and talk to each other easily. Each table gets an assigned server, and ours was fantastic. We ordered cocktails along with the yuca fries, empanadas, and quesadillas -- all delicious. I can't remember the name of my cocktail, but it was pink, gin-based, and so good, served in a beautiful tall stem glass. Loved everything about this place and will absolutely be back next time I'm in town!

The guy at the front was very nice, but as soon as we get to the "receptionist" the entire narrative changed. She looked my girlfriend and I up and down and then proceeded to tap multiple times on her IPad. She then says, "you know it's 1:30? we close at 2. we only have standing room." She had the most miserable scowl on her face. My girlfriend and I were dressed very nicely (pants & jacket, and a dress), so I know this was not a outfit issue. I do not know what her issue was, but if you are tired and don't like staying up late, don't work in a bar. After saying that there was only standing room, I decided that I was not going to spend money in an establishment that speaks to people in such a disgusting way, so I proceeded to leave. One of the guys out front asked what was wrong and asked if he could buy us a drink, but at that point I decided that I would not spend a dime at this place. Just giving a heads up! Lady at the front is EXTREMELY rude. Looking at the other 1 star reviews, it looks like this place has a reputation for being discriminatory.

I usually only go to coffee shops to work, but today, went on a coffee date with my dog instead. There's ground floor parking in the garage that's complimentary for two hours. I kept it simple with a vanilla latte. I noticed they had tacos at the bottom of the food menu, but at $13.25 for two tacos + an a la carte item, I decided to pass. Maybe my expectations were too high (as usual) because it's inside a hotel, but I was hoping for the kind of warm hospitality hotels are known for, but instead, the service felt a bit cold. It didn't exactly make me want to spend more money there. While sitting on the patio, I spotted the food truck outside and thought, "PERFECT. A food truck HAS to be cheaper. Take that Simona's!" I walked up to the window... only to find out it wasn't actually a separate food truck. It was just the pickup window. To order? I had to go back inside to Simona's and place my order with the delightful staff... I ended up ordering two Blue Migas tacos, and honestly, they were just... good, but nothing memorable. They tasted like your average breakfast tacos that you can find all over Austin for less. Despite loving how relaxing the outdoor patio is with its lucious greenery surrounding you and the beautiful French chairs and cafe tables, it's located right next to the hotel pool. If you're visiting on a summer afternoon, expect some extra noise with pool guests. If you're looking for a quiet coffee or a place to work, I'd recommend coming early in the morning instead.

It was during happy hour and they have a small discount on select cocktails, but the HH menu is limited. That said, the second time I came was also the night they were hosting some kind of gypsy festival, so there were a bunch of booths selling different types of vintage clothing and handmade goods, as well as a fortune teller who was reading fortunes. They had some couches and plenty of tables to sit at -- it was a total vibe. It wasn't too hot either, and at the end of the night there was a fire show, which was pretty fun! The whole thing was free, and there is a small gravel parking lot where you can park, and I did get a spot there since I came right around 5p when thinks were starting. Even if you don't get a spot there, the nearby neighborhood streets have free parking space too and pretty easy to get to your car afterward.

Lara went with a Moon Song (rum, blackberry, lime, and honey with lavender cold foam) and an espresso martini and enjoyed both. I opted for a zero proof drink: the high and mighty (agave, nonalcoholic ginger and floral liqueurs, jasmine tea, and spiced salt). It was refreshing but didn't quite hit the mark for me.

Austinites and visitors...y'all need to go to P6. This gem is nestled on the 6th floor of The LINE Hotel, this spot is a culinary oasis that offers both stunning skyline views and top-notch dining. As you step out of the elevator, you're greeted by a boho and modern ambiance that sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The staff is not just friendly; they're true professionals who make you feel right at home. Your experience is elevated to another level if you are blessed enough to come across the most amazing manager, Shelby. She'll make you feel at home with her bubbly personality and hospitality. She gave us the best recommendations for foods and even paired them with special cocktails of her own reccomendation alongside the bartenders and staff. Now enough about that glorious human, let's get to the food. P6's menu is a culinary journey through flavors that are uniquely Texan. Start with their PATATAS BRAVAS, a delightful blend of creamy and spicy that tantalizes the taste buds. The SEARED SEA SCALLOP is a must-try, showcasing the perfect balance of fresh and savory. The cocktail menu here is equally impressive. The mixologists craft drinks that are works of art. The LA PALENQUE is a visually stunning choice, the Smokeyness of the mezcal and spicy was of the peppers make it a drink you can't pass up. Of course, we can't forget the view. P6 offers a front-row seat to Austin's skyline, making it an ideal spot for sunset watching. The terrace seating provides an unobstructed panorama that's hard to beat. In conclusion, P6 is a culinary gem in Austin, offering a sophisticated dining experience with a view that's second to none. If you're looking for a memorable evening out, P6 should be at the top of your list. It's not just a restaurant; it's an elevated experience that captures the essence of Austin in every bite and every sight. read more

I went to P6 for a friend's birthday and overall had a good experience, but I think I'd need to come back and try more of the menu before giving it a higher rating. First of all, the atmosphere was def one of the highlights! We went around 6:30 right as the sun was going down, and the outdoor space was so pretty. It's a really nice spot for a birthday, drinks, or just somewhere with a good view and atmosphere. We started with the shrimp, and it was easily the best thing I had all night. Honestly, the shrimp alone was 5 stars. It was super flavorful, cooked perfectly, and definitely the one thing I would immediately order again. For my main, I got the chicken Caesar salad, which I know is a pretty basic order, so I can't necessarily judge the full menu off of that. The salad itself was pretty standard and the dressing tasted like a typical Caesar dressing. The chicken was a little interesting because it almost tasted like it had cinnamon or some kind of warm spice on it? It wasn't necessarily bad, but I personally didn't love that flavor for chicken. I also got a skinny margarita, which was good, but nothing particularly memorable or different from other skinny margs I've had. Overall, I'd give P6 3 stars based on this visit. The atmosphere was beautiful and the shrimp was incredible, but the rest of what I ordered was pretty average for me. I'd definitely come back and try some of their other dishes though, especially because the shrimp made me think there are probably some much better things on the menu that I missed this time! read more

We stopped by P6 looking for something casual with a good view--and it definitely delivered. We weren't planning on staying long, just a quick bite and drink, but even with that, it turned into a full vibe. We showed up right as they were transitioning from brunch to dinner, but the team was super accommodating and recommended the hummus with lamb chorizo. Let me tell you--delicious! I've recently been getting into hummus, and this one hit the mark. The lamb chorizo added a rich, savory kick, and the pita bread? Fluffy, warm, and pillowy-soft with the perfect slight chew. We each grabbed a cocktail to go with the quick dine-in moment, and both were solid. Clean, balanced, and definitely something I'd come back for. The view? Gorgeous. Definitely recommend making a reservation if you're trying to secure the best seat for photos. Our server, Cesar, was super friendly and helpful with the menu, making the experience even smoother. All in all, a quick visit that still felt full. Great spot for light bites, drinks, and a killer view. Will be back. read more

I recently visited this rooftop bar/restaurant for brunch and I must say, it was an experience worth remembering. From the moment I stepped onto the rooftop, I was struck by the stunning views that surrounded me. The place was cute and well decorated, making it the perfect spot for a Sunday brunch with friends or family. Now let's talk about the food. The portions were generous and absolutely delicious. Each dish was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. We ordered the patatas bravas, steak and eggs, piquillo pepper hummus and the cubano sandwhich. The service was also top-notch. Our server was friendly and attentive, making sure our drinks were always topped up and that we were enjoying our meal. All in all, I highly recommend this rooftop bar/restaurant for brunch.

P6 Rooftop is such a great spot in Austin for a girls night out or lunch. I went for my friend's birthday dinner, and the whole vibe was perfect. The sunset over the skyline was so pretty and great for photos. I was also really impressed by the food. May be an unpopular opinion, but I love vegetables and am big on natural healthy flavors. The roasted vegetables and hummus dishes my friend and I shared were so fresh and full of yummy unique flavors. The portions are definitely on the smaller side, but for two of us, the dishes were just enough to share. The staff was super nice and even comped a dish they accidentally messed up. Overall, it's a cozy but upscale spot that's perfect for a fun night out or just relaxing with great drinks and company. read more

This place is what could be an AMAZING hot spot yet the staff and the red-headed hippie hostess is a joke. We showed up without a reservation and saw the view and asked to be seated outdoor the hostess went to say she had to hold the tables until 15 minutes past. So we could be seated indoors, not a problem. We were the only people indoors. We waited 10 minutes to have water brought to us. Then 2 other indoor tables were sat. The couple that showed up after us asked to sit outdoors like we had and the waiter said not a problem and took them outdoors to sit with the view and got their drinks before us. Moral of the story, go for the view and don't expect to be waited on or have the staff or hostess to know what they're doing. read more

I ordered it medium rare, but it came out closer to medium-well. The meat also had a bit of a funk to it, which made it seem like it may not have been the freshest cut. The fries were also underwhelming--poorly seasoned and pretty forgettable. Based on this experience, I probably wouldn't come back for the steak frites or another steak/meat entrée. That said, the restaurant itself is beautiful and very vibey, and I could see it being a great spot to grab a cocktail on the patio.

The chili oil was spicy to me but not my husband so just be aware of your heat tolerance. The salt pop rocks combo is genius and so good that we wanted to take it home to season our steak.

Otherwise, Austin has plenty of other dinner spots that offer a more satisfying experience and better value.

Nothing was horrible, most were forgettable. Last time I am taking Tik Tok advice on where to go for my precious date night dinner opportunities.

I visited with a colleague for a business dinner this evening, and we were both blown away at a…read moreperfect meal with perfect service by Lydia. Nice selection of wines by the Glass - I went for a crisp white from Greece and my colleague enjoyed Chianti. We opted for the lamb starter and wild grouper tagine. After we ordered, the GM Tarun informed us that he and the executive chef were not pleased with the grouper quality and offered a substitution of salmon. The dish was even better as the rich salmon (perfectly crisp skin) stood up nicely to the flavorful sauce, which was served over black forbidden rice. The lamb was wrapped in a well seasoned bread with seeds, a slightly spicy harissa and whipped feta. I would come back for that dish many times. They gifted us dumplings and a sticky toffee dessert which was very kind. Both were delicious. I don't think I have experienced better service anywhere in Austin. Will definitely come back for more business meetings and with friends in the future.

We spent around $600 with tip and fees for 5 (mixed grill, two apps, two drinks each); and while the food was delicious the meats were luke warm not piping hot, our server while very friendly was not the best at giving suggestions (basically she said everything is good lol) and wasn't able to split the check 2/3 and 1/3 instead of 50/50 ("... I don't know how to do that"), and the cocktails while tasty didn't really feel special enough to be $21-25 each. It was a very enjoyable experience I just don't know that it lived up to the price tag. For that price I'm looking for exceptional not just very good. That being said the food was delicious! Pricey but pretty good portions. The server said the mixed grill was good for around 4 people, but with two apps it was actually a little too much food for the 5 of us. Mixed grill ($220): -Rosewood Wagyu Strip and Lamb Chops: tie between these two for the best dish; they were both juicy and tender and the sauces were delicious. Not served piping hot but they were so good I didn't really mind. -Harissa Marinated Beef Tenderloin: great flavor- a tad dry. -Spiced Lamb Kefta: also dry, I liked it best with the yogurt sauce. -Red Pepper Chicken Thigh: delicious, one of my fav kabobs. -Herb & Garlic Shrimp: tasty and not overcooked -Charred King Trumpet mushroom: loved the veggie option! they mushrooms were substantial and the sauce was great. -Crispy Shallot Hummus: very good- loved the crispy shallots in particular! -Manti Dumplings: top app- I would 100% order this again the dumplings were delicious and the sauce/yogurt on top of them was the best, we wiped up every drop with the pitas! -The pita bread was hot, fresh, and delicious and our service kept on offering more, so I don't know if they've changed their policy but my experience was not the same as reviews that said only one pita per person. We refused extra pitas 3 times I think! Cocktails- everything we tried was quite good, but again there wasn't the pizaz or just 'blown away by the flavor' to feel that the crazy price was totally justified. We tried: Spanish G&T (very refreshing- don't chew on the juniper berries lol), Banana Bread Old Fashioned (pretty good even for someone who doesn't much like whiskey!), Bonfire on a Beach (fun, smokey, love the harissa on the side), Peach Martini (teensy bit sweet for me but good). The manager stopped by a few times to check on us and our server was very attentive. She did give us good service its just for the high price I would expect some more detailed suggestions on drinks, being able to split the check other than 50/50 (or at least ask someone instead of just saying 'I don't know how'). It was friendly and enthusiastic service just not 'wow this truly is fine dining' service. Outside of the restaurant, parking is a bit of a pain but that is normal for down town. We parked at the Laz garage half a block away- $8 for 2 hrs instead of the $27 for valet.

I made a reservation on Open Table for 7:15. We came in the "wrong door" (on Trinity St. I believe) and had to find our way to the host/hostess stand. Not too bad. I think you're supposed to enter on E Cesar Chavez St. They had our reservation and we were seated promptly. We ordered the Rotisserie Chicken to share (we are an older couple). Delicious! And it was a nice big (1/2) chicken! It came with a generous serving of broccolini. It came with mashed potatoes (actually, puréed potatoes), too. They were good, though I prefer not-perfectly-mashed (let alone puréed) potatoes and the serving was not quite as generous). Don't get me wrong--we would order this again. The service was good, definitely acceptable by modern standards for the price range, but not outstanding. The ambiance was that of a modern, slightly upscale hotel restaurant. Nothing really fancy. But the wait staff was dressed nicely and so were the other patrons. All in all, a good experience! Oh, the most puzzling thing was that at the end the waiter asked me if we wanted to put the tab on a card or on the room tab. I was confused for a moment until I realized that we were in a hotel (something in the Marriott family). I put it on my credit card, of course. We also got the mushrooms side which was really yummy!

Their special Josper oven can get up to 1100 degrees Fahrenheit which allows them to quickly cook and sear their food. They capitalize on this unique oven by having the seared skin hold sauces and toppings. Their chicken had the skin nice and crispy which held the butter sauce on the meat. Obviously everything you would normally expect to be great was great, the cook of the meats, the side dishes, the salads, the drinks, but what really stood out was the creative utilization of searing food hot and fast. Our server Olivia was very personable, down to earth, and really helped us navigate the menu.

We ordered all the small plates but the caviar. Our favorites were the tuna tartar, the pulpo, chefs crudo and the shrimp. The sauce that the shrimp came in was delicious! We ended up taking the leftover sauce home. For main course I ordered the scallops and my husband ordered the halibut. Both dishes were fresh and seasoned perfectly. The sauces definitely brought everything together. For sides we ordered the plantains and carrots both were flavorful and amazing to eat. We will be back!
