Stopped by during happy hour and only the happy hour menu is available during this time Which is also different than what they show on the website.... A lot of different items on the menu and personally nothing stood out We tried the burger - standard burger with cheese and lettuce pickle slaw The kale salad - kale with dressing and breadcrumbs and radish slices / pretty good but could've used something else Also tried the coffee roasted carrots - unfortunately our least favorite - very odd for us - pickled carrots with hummus and other items but not our favorite at all Service was fine - no issues there - food came out as ordered and within 20 mins Unfortunately they do not validate parking in the garage So do not park in the garage - super expensive Only valet Patio is super nice and dog friendly even have a dog menu! read more

Really lovely spot hidden behind the main South Congress street. Brunch on the weekends till 4. Staff were friendly and helpful. Indoor and outdoor seating. I got the chilaquiles verde, very good! The breakfast burrito also looked very good and had potatoes in it. So many fun drink options, including teas and mocktails. Definitely would go again if I lived in the area! read more

Exquisite environment and delicious plates. Spent a lovely girl brunch w a hardy cocktail maybe for a girl brunch but that's well served. Our host was fine and did let us consider where to sit even to feel out the ambiance before sitting us she was a pleasure we were so unbothered during our girl it was beautiful. Will come back for that burger and maybe even later for dinner it is a nice date spot inside or out read more

Very nice brunch on a nice sunny Austin day. I would highly recommend the donuts which were perfectly cooked. My omelette was good but not over the moon, would probably try something else if I come back. read more

Stumbled into this place to grab a cocktail and desperately need to come back for an actual meal. The service was quick for just getting a cocktail. I got an Aperol spritz so nothing crazy but they did a solid job making it. Vibes were so cute! Corn hole with cool outside seating.

Ohhh my goodness! My husband and I went out to brunch and it was just incredible! The patio was beautiful, peaceful and the morning had a light breeze. We could not have asked for a better day! Aiden was our server and had great recommendations. We started with sharing the 'LOADED' HASH BROWNS (GF). I wanted to eat it all day but had to save room! It melted in my mouth and I loved how much cheese was on it!! For my main dish, I got the AVOCADO TOAST 'CROISSANDWICH' and the flakiness of the croissant mixed with the avocado was divine. The sunflower salsa added a bit of heat which blended perfectly. My husband got the OMELETTE. We both love goat cheese and truffle anything. The arugula salad was so light and refreshing. The omelette was cooked exquisitely and I don't even know how to explain delightful flavor combination of the truffle butter with the goat cheese! We obviously had to share a bottle of bubbly to really start our day! I am going to go back for brunch but will need to check out the other menus! I highly recommend! read more

Visited here on a work outing and really enjoyed our time. We had a table of 15 and the restaurant accommodated us very well. The drinks were good- spicy marg and espresso martini. The food was delicious! My favorites were the whipped ricotta appetizer and tuna tare tare. I got the carbonara and it was amazing and so was the Cesar and steak. I overall liked the decor of this restaurant and the outside seating was nice. Parking was a little tricky but there was street parking. read more

Lovely patio, huge cups of coffee, and friendly service make this little spot tucked away in the Hotel Magdalena a great brunch option that may be an easier reservation to land than some other more well known Austin brunch locales. The loaded hash browns are a great shareable plate and the yogurt parfait is a monster. Great spot! read more

My gf and I went here on Friday afternoon. I love that the location is a bit secluded so it didn't even feel that we're really close to the busy Congress St (during SXSW too!). We ordered the mozzarella sticks ($7), spritzers ($10), and apples and endives salad ($8) from the happy hour menu. Everything was delicious at a very decent price considering the location. Service was impeccable. We sat way past the happy hour time, and the waitress refilled our water until the end. Such a great spot for happy hour! read more

5 Stars for the venue. If the weather is good, I would highly recommend sending outside! It's beautiful and shaded. I enjoyed my Brioche Donuts! They were quite tasty and well made. The Loaded Hash Browns on the other hand were disappointing to say the least. The were a little cold in the middle and did not have a great texture (or taste). The restaurant gets bonus points though for the free valet. You can valet your car at the hotel and the restaurant will validate it for 2 hours. read more

Connected to Hotel Magdalena, Summer House is tucked back behind some other businesses so it isn't on the main street, but this slightly hidden gem is a great vibe. They have both indoor and outdoor seating (with heaters), mid-century modern decor, a large bar, and the restrooms are outdoors. However, we had some slight issues with the food. You can make a reservation for Summer House on Music Lane in Austin on OpenTable, and there is plenty of street parking available, paid via app. If you can't find street parking, you can also valet or park in the large parking structure for a slightly higher amount. The staff member Dom was super nice & went above and beyond with his hospitality. Hopefully he is working when you go! For food, we shared 3 things for a late dinner, ~9pm arrival on a Thursday. MUST ORDER - Wood Grilled Mushroom ($12, GF/V) with tahina, good balsamic, and rosemary. This savory-smokey combo was delicious, and paired extremely well either the tahini below. The texture of the grilled mushrooms was absolute perfection, and anyone who even slightly enjoys mushrooms needs to share this dish. WARNING - Broccolini ($8, GF/V) described on the menu as "Broccolini, lemon, chili." This should come with a fire spice marker on the menu or a warning from the server. I have never had such spicy broccolini in my life - my lips were burning for the remainder of the night, and it looked like I had gotten lip injections. There were lots of chili pieces, both seeds and bits of the chili pepper, and if you're sensitive to spice, I strongly recommend that you ask to hold the chili, or maybe they'll eventually change the spice level on this dish if it's too spicy for the masses. Carbonara Pasta ($23) with bucatini, shaved pecorino cheese, country ham, and egg. This pasta has a very creamy egg sauce, and the pork is extra crispy. Another positive was that the water came in a large glass fish, which came with matching cups that were such a cute vibe. Unfortunately, even though our food was very spicy, we didn't get another bottle of water brought to us. I'd return for the vibes, decor, wood grilled mushrooms, and to try other things on the menu. Next time, I'd inquire about spice levels - especially if it says the word chili. read more

Great! Ambiance is always great for an outdoor meet up with friends or loved ones. Their lunch happy hour is a great deal for delicious bites and drinks! read more

This spot offers a relaxing ambiance with beautiful natural light and large glass windows that showcase the view perfectly. While the menu has changed slightly, there are still plenty of options to enjoy. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, which added to the experience. I tried the smoked turkey sandwich, which was packed with flavor and paired with crispy fries, while my friend ordered the beer-battered cod sandwich, which they really enjoyed. Both dishes were yummy. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this spot. The only downside is the downtown location, which meant paying for parking--and it was pricey--but that's to be expected in Austin. read more

I've been here for both breakfast and dinner and can say both times were really good. It has a nice outdoor seating area so it was nice to sit outside. Staff were very friendly too. They were also kind to my kids who were running around in the grass area. It's a good place to eat and then go shop around the area read more

This place is such a nice little oasis tucked away behind the bustling South Congress! We came for brunch on a Sunday and it was a great experience. Our server was attentive, and the food was delicious and nicely portioned. It was lowkey and peaceful but had an elevated vibe. Note that the restaurant validates valet parking for up to 2 hours. read more

Visited here recently with some friends for Sunday brunch. Absolutely love the ambiance inside feels kind of mid century modern. The service was really good, our waitress was sweet and nice at recommending drinks. The booth/table they sat us at could've used some more cleaning underneath. I ordered the challah French toast and italicus spritz. Loved the drink, citrusy but not bitter. The French toast was huge and with the mascarpone hardly needed to add maple syrup to it. It was a tad expensive for what it was, would have loved if it came with a small side portion. My husband and i spilt the loaded hash browns. All in all a good place to enjoy once in a while for brunch, tricky parking but if you're lucky you can find something on soco or use the garage. read more

Small brunch menu, but huge flavors, especially in their shareables! We had a lovely seat by the window with a nice view, and even the waiting area near the outdoor seating was charming. We tried nearly half of the shareables, and I'm still thinking about the donuts (not pictured). I'm usually not a donut person, but these were so fluffy and flavorful! My friend ordered a salad with steak, and the steak was cooked perfectly, melting in my mouth. On the other hand, my order of biscuits and gravy with turkey sausage was disappointing. The gravy was too thick, cold, and it was lacking something. The biscuit was hard--I only ate about 25% of it. They also advertised a Topo Chico with ginger beer, which sounded interesting, but they brought the wrong drink twice, so I just let it go. I'd definitely come back for the shareables and a latte! read more

Food was solid, but service was unbearably slow even though the restaurant was not overwhelmed with guests. I want to give it a second shot some time, but with so many great places in Austin, it's not high on the list. We had some appetizers and pasta, and the portions were not large given the prices were over $30 an entree. It's a nice ambiance outside with the courtyard, but inside of restaurant is a bit small. read more

The environment here is great (next to the Magdalena Hotel) especially if you sit outside on a nice day. The parking lot is a chaotic hellhole so either park on South Congress or they do validate with valet parking (but not for self-parking) or Uber. Went for brunch and menu was limited but tasty and well presented. Recommend for family or friends meet ups. Place was very pet friendly (like most of ATX) read more

Definitely 5 stars . On our first and only visit our ticket was overlooked and it took nearly an hour to be served. We were having good conversations with amazing cocktails we didn't notice that we hadn't been served. That's is how good the vibe was. They made everything right. I highly recommend the donut 10/10! read more

We came here looking for something lighter and healthier and opted for salads. We were not disappointed as they were both delicious. The wife loved hers and I loved mine. The staff was nice and sitting on the patio was nice atmosphere on a warm day. The server didn't mind when I asked for a different table closer to the back and away from other tables already seated, which was appreciated. Come here when you need a break from BBQ. read more

TLDR: Beautiful restaurant, but MORE ITEMS PLEASE! I absolutely love Summer House--it feels like stepping into my rich aunt's kitchen, especially when you snag the corner spot by the windows. The clean green interior and nature-inspired touches are so calming. I came in for brunch and had the Breakfast Sandwich. The food is beautifully presented and tastes delicious, but the menu is limited and changes frequently. Unfortunately, I've yet to see any pescatarian options... read more

My bf: "the breakfast potatoes ever". Everything here was so delicious and we are so excited to go back. We were looking for a spot on SoCo and happened to randomly stumble upon Summer on Music Lane and I'm soooo glad we did. We sat outside and it was perfect even in the hot TX summer!! read more

Summer on Music Lane - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

Such a cute spot--perfect for a girls' brunch! The vibe is very Instagram-worthy, with the greenary outside and terrace, and the food came out pretty quickly. I had the Avocado Toast 'Croissandwich, and it was delicious! Loved the twist of using a croissant instead of a biscuit--it made all the difference. The flavors were on point, and I definitely enjoyed every bite. I also really enjoyed my vanilla latte. It wasnt too sweet and you could really taste the flavor. The only downside was the service. While the food was quick, the staff didn't really keep up with basic things like refilling our water. My meal was a bit spicy, so I ended up needing more water and had to wait a bit longer than expected to get help. We also waited a while for the check, so just be prepared to block out a good amount of time if you're dining here. Still, the food was great, and the atmosphere makes it worth the visit! read more

I went for brunch and really loved the food we had. We split the French toast which was one of the best I've ever had, the char on the toast combined w the vanilla mascarpone was amazing.

The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. We enjoyed a little table with banquet and chairs on the patio. We had views of the lawn and the restaurant interior. Our server Clint provided us with good advice and fun conversation. We started with the whipped ricotta which we both enjoyed a lot. My only quibble was how think the bread was cut. It was toasted to perfection but with the thick cut, biting through the crust was nearly impossible. I would have loved if each slice was 1/2 the depth which also would have given me twice as much bread to enjoy the feta with. The subtly of the mint and occasional touches of honey made each bite slightly different in the best way. Next we shared the Kale Caesar. The kale was cut small and massaged well, so each bite had good texture without being too chewy. I was hoping for a bit more of the caper flavor from the dressing but it did have a hint of brine. The bread crumbs stayed crisp throughout the salad for a great light crunch. I ordered the Ricotta Gnocchi while my companion ordered the Smoked Heritage Ragu. The truffle Parmesan sauce was balanced and not overly oily. The truffles added a bit more depth to the braised muchrooms, which were a good size and not mushy. I was a bit disappointed that the gnocchi itself seemed a tad undercooked, being harder rather than the pillowy texture I was expecting. I got to taste the Ragu and had no complaints at all. My companion really enjoyed it. Finally we shared the Chocolate Budino and Strawberry Crostada. These were both the best plates of the night. The coffee crunchies were an expected surprise in the Budino but all parts of it were delicious. The balsamic on the ice cream of the Crostada took the whole dish over the top. I've heard Summer House is known for brunch, but I would recommend it for dinner. Nice place for dinner with friends. Disclaimer: My companion had a credit towards our dinner in exchange for some pictures but I covered tip and parking (which were about 1/2 the cost of our meal). And the pictures used in my review are mine. read more

One can enjoy a meal indoors, or outside on the patio here. We sat inside and I loved the aesthetics of the clean design and the interplay of greens & blues and wood surfaces. Green glazed tiles , wrap around the bar area as well. It has a mid century modern feel. I also got excited by the carafe, and glassware. I loved it SO much I ordered some for my home online. They ALSO sell it in the hotel store as well. The service was good and the food was fresh and tasty. The four of us each enjoyed our meal in a comfortable atmosphere. As we walked out to the street we spotted a Santa on a white horse! AND that is just such an AUSTIN thing to see! Quirky but fun! read more

Cute spot on South Congress. Decided the morning of to come for brunch, I called and they had availability which was great as it can be a challenge to find a nice brunch place to get into on short notice. Ambiance was great and the food was good, the only downside is the food took a long time to come out. The whipped ricotta was delicious and the chicken parm sando was yummy and crispy. The food portions are a good size. read more

The food is pretty good and a diverse menu. Dinner is fairly pricey. Of course, on Soco, it's full of tourists and girl parties. Parking is pretty nonexistent unless you can park on the street. The very name is an example of the current trend in Austin to destroy places of historic and cultural fame and then name the new development after the very thing they destroyed to build it. read more

What a wonderful location and beautiful outdoor area. Lots of green and a nature feel, even has a little fountain. Went in for brunch and sat at the bar, meanwhile, we waited for a table. Jen was such a bright light amongst the bar and got creative on drinks based on what we were craving, example something fresh. The host at the entrance, young lady and young man, were very nice and welcoming. The food was fresh, and everything about the place was great. Even valet guy, Ethan, was great. I would recommend for brunch and it's not too hot to sit outside, I would recommend sitting outside in the evening when it's not Texas Summer heat. Overall good place. read more
