    Garlic bread
    Chithra V.

    During my stay at the Fairmont Hotel, I had the pleasure of dining at Revue, their Italian restaurant. I started with the garlic bread as an appetizer, which was absolutely delicious--crispy and flavorful. For dessert, I tried the banana bread pudding, and it was equally delightful. The service at Revue was exceptional; our server was attentive and checked in frequently. The ambience was inviting.

    Fancy, elegant restaurant in downtown Austin. Ordered the Caesar salad, which tasted very fresh and I loved the lemon taste in the dressing. The pea pesto pasta was cooked perfectly, but the overall flavor was okay. Probably wouldn't come back, or maybe just order something else next time

    Buffet

    My wife and I were staying at the Fairmont Austin and twice dined at Revue for brunch. Overall I was impressed with the quality of the food. For the first day was seated with another couple on a long table. We were on one end and they were on the other. I ordered a coffee and decided to give their buffet a try. Our waitress seemed not impressed I ordered the buffet. She did bring the coffee quickly and it was really good with a nice aroma and flavor. I headed to the small room up front to see what was available and had the standard items found at hotels like eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, oatmeal, fruit, and yogurt. I grabbed a plate and added scrambled eggs, lots of bacon, sausage that had cheese in it, breakfast potatoes, and the wonderful eggs with chicken in it. All of it was really good but the eggs with chicken was the highlight of the buffet. It had so much flavor and very delicious. The next day I was too full for the buffet even though I would not mind just eating the eggs & chicken, but ordered the Avocado Toast with a mimosa. This time we were seated at a nice private table for two. The restaurant manager even brought out my plate and placed it in front of me where the Avocado Toast was beautifully presented. It was a large piece of grilled sourdough bread with avocado on it along with a poached egg. It was very delicious and had great flavor. I enjoyed it very much.

    This is the restaurant inside the Fairmont and I grabbed breakfast here. They have a buffet and a la carte options. The food was above par. The service was the best part. Our waitress was funny, engaging and super efficient. Big fan of Kelly! She deserves a raise and a promotion and I want to be her friend.

    I was staying at the Fairmont valentines day. Decided to try Revue. I was with my girlfriend and we had reserved a table for valentines day weekend. The valentines menu was just their normal menu with a special dessert. We opted for al a carte. We were confused by our seating as well. We were seated basically on a porch in the family area after paying for a valentines day reservation. The food was good and the portions were decent which is the only reason I'm giving it 3 stars.

    The food was PHENOMENAL! we visited this location as we were staying only a block away and I just had to check it out. Sam and Maria G. from this venue were so sweet and accommodating, they really made our dinner special with stopping by the table to say hello, and following that with complimentary dessert for our special occasion. Also.. I have been talking about the garlic bread here since I left and cannot stop. I plan on returning to Austin one day and I will definitely be coming back here. (May or may not be just for the garlic bread) the restaurant itself was beautiful, I think the way they set this place up is really unique. It's multiple venues within one venue and you can mix and match different foods like Oriental, Italian and raw bar. I highly suggest the "Meal for Two". We could barely finish it! Would return here for sure, thank you Revue team!

    House Baked Foccacia
    Allison C.

    If you like brussel sprouts, I HIGHLY recommend the brussel sprouts here. They are DIVINE. Honestly the appetizers here were amazing and much better than the entrees. Just order a bunch of small plates and appetizers to share because all of the entrees we ordered were underwhelming. The focaccia was thick than normal but I was ok with that because , duh, more bread to eat. The olive spread that was paired with it was delicious. The heirloom tomatoes were perfectly juicy and balanced nicely with the burrata. And once again the brussel sprouts were so amazing we were dipping the foccacia in the left over sauce. The risotto was underwhelming, a little too runny, and didn't have much flavor.

    Cinnamon roll-looks better than it is

    Cute atmosphere. Came for the cinnamon roll that supposedly received rave reviews...it was huge but dry - disappointing.

    Great dinner experience. This restaurant is inside the Fairmont and the decor is amazing! The food itself also matched. Appetizer: focaccia bread, meatballs, and Caesar salad. The focaccia bread was so fresh and had great flavor and rise. The meatballs were moist and the marinara was delicious. The pizzas were great! And for a Neapolitan style pizza, they had a nice bready crust. The sausage pizza was by far my favorite, and was so creamy.

    Dirty plates piled up and not taken away until asked

    I must say that my experience at Revue at The Fairmont hotel for their Sunday buffet was far from delightful. To my dismay, here are some of the reasons why I am leaving a two-star review: -Upon arriving at 9 am, the manager asked us to wait while he looked for a seat and never came back. However, a few minutes later, a wonderful hostess came by and promptly took us to our table. Her attentiveness and friendly demeanor made up for the manager's lack of hospitality (and the only reason why I'm giving this two stars instead of one). -I was extremely disappointed to find my seat cushion wet upon arrival. Nevertheless, the staff were prompt in responding to my concern and changed my seat. -Despite ordering coffee, I was not given any cream (When the coffee was delivered, I was away from the table, which is why I couldn't request the cream right away). I had to look for the server to request some. -While the food was edible, it was nothing to write home about. The offerings were fairly average, featuring standard breakfast items such as scrambled eggs, waffles, and yogurt- something one might expect from a fancier Holiday Inn. -To make matters worse, our server was inattentive and non-existent. He failed to check on us or offer water or coffee refills until we asked for them. Furthermore, he held the coffee mug with his hands over the lip of the mug, leaving a stale cologne odor that ruined the coffee experience. -Dirty plates piled up on our table, and despite the server walking by several times, they were never taken away until we asked for them to be removed. -The server only checked in with us once- at the end of the meal, when he asked if we were ready to close out. It was clear that his lack of attentiveness was not due to being overworked or understaffed, as I noticed him chatting with other tables and appearing to be in no rush to assist us. -After closing out, the manager came by and asked if everything was okay. We described everything above and simply asked if there was anything he could do for us now. However, his response, "Well, I hope you come back and change your minds," was rather disappointing, considering that it was too late to change our minds. In conclusion, I would not recommend Revue at The Fairmont hotel for their Sunday buffet, as the lackluster food, inattentive service, and overall experience did not meet the expectations one would expect at a Fairmont hotel.

    During a work trip, Revue was one of the hotel restaurants. It's few and far between that you experience a really, really positive hotel restaurant (in my opinion). Sure, lots of places serve up great food... But they also serve up some really overpriced dishes. Not here at Revue! Revue is an odd mix of menu with Italian and Asian offerings. I was a little apprehensive because I feel like that's trying to reinvent the wheel a little too much instead of focusing on doing one thing really well... But they proved me wrong. Their happy hour menu for food and drinks is pretty stellar. And really, really cheap too. I'm talking like $3 beers and $6 glasses of wine, cheap. There's a lot on the happy hour menu for food that sounded great, but I saw that they had ramen on the regular menu and I couldn't be persuaded to get anything else. I went with the Shoyu and I wasn't disappointed. It came out quickly. I wasn't sure what to think when I first saw it because it didn't LOOK like much, but it really was. There's a ton of depth in the flavor of their broth and the noodles are a little on the firm side, but I liked it. Really, really solid ramen. Highly recommend if you're staying at the Fairmont or if you're just looking for a good dinner/happy hour option in the area!

    Lemondrop martini

    Stopped in for dinner before a show. The drink was great & so was the rice. The lemondrop martini was right on point. I could have shared with another person, but i still finished it. It was delicious!

    Shoyu ramen - the eggs are bomb
    Heeju S.

    I'm pretty impressed that a hotel restaurant in Austin can do a ramen that is fairly good. I was here with my coworkers during a conference for lunch and we ordered a few apps to share - the Brussels sprouts were crispy and delicious (a little too salty for my taste but still good) and the edamame was cooked in some sauce that was interesting. I had the shoyu ramen as my main and the broth was surprisingly very good - again a little bit too salty but I still enjoyed it. The egg was so flavorful, I wish I had gotten an extra one. The pork was ok - maybe just because I was expecting something more like pork belly and it seemed different, almost more like a ham. We came here again for brunch the next day, and they do a pretty good coffee here. I'd recommend getting the almond latte if that's your thing. I also had the yogurt parfait and the berry compote that was in it was sweet and so yummy! If I didn't want something on the lighter side though, I definitely would've tried the breakfast tacos.

    Is a reservation needed for Sunday brunch?

    We did not have a problem without a reservation and the hotel seemed busy. Might be recommended if an event was going on or hotel near full capacity.

    Does happy hour still exist and if so, what time does it start and end?

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.

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.

    These are moments I think why do I live in San Antonio ( and often work in Austin ) when I can just…read morelive here and enjoy great restaurants, bars and weird gothic haunts like this with weird dark goth decor, a scent of palo santo , superb music, a great crowd and amazing drinks! College me would have lived here !! Enjoyed a French 75, my husband enjoyed a smoked Old Fashioned and it was a great place to grab a drink prior to seeing Springsteen at the Moody seated amongst candles , a weird alter of sorts while enjoying some Stevie Wonder as is playing now though some weird NIN or Type O might have been more appropriate

    I went to Whisler's and had one of the worst bar experiences I've ever had…read more I had one drink. I was completely sober for all intents and purposes. 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.

After exiting the elevator, I ended up meandering through what felt like the entire rooftop pool deck with rows and rows of seating, a beautifully laid-out space, and a huge outdoor area before finally reaching the actual bar on the other side of the building. Verdict: best pool, least impressive late-night drink options. The rooftop space itself is massive and gorgeous, with seating spread around fire features and plenty of room to roam. It's the kind of place that makes you want to book a stay just to have access to the pool and outdoor area. Drink-wise, though, the menu was very limited, and they didn't have any mocktails listed. I asked for "anything mocktail," and they brought me a virgin Lady Bird. It was mostly juice, but still tasty and refreshing for $8.

    My friends and I had a FABULOUS time here. The ambiance is beautiful and so cozy! Without a res on…read morea Friday evening (around 6:30/7) we were able to get a nice, big cabana area. The couches were so comfortable and the ambiance was so pretty. In terms of the drinks and food, it was okay! Got the job done, but nothing to rave about. I enjoyed the sliders the most. I enjoyed my drink as well (5th Floor Cooldown) once we added the extra sweetener we requested. Without it, I wasn't a huge fan (wasn't sweet, despite being told that it was). Valet parking is only $15 (for 2 hours) with validation. I appreciated that, as it made parking not a headache.
