Wow! Even better now since the renos, upgrades, and changes. Elevated and elegant old school dining, beautiful ambiance, decor, seating, etc. Great bar, raw bar, and excellent service. Highest level of service; above and beyond. Reservations fill up fast! Food is impeccable from the wedge salad to oysters (per my boyfriend they're excellent), prime rib, mashed potatoes, key lime pie, and everything in between. You simply can't go wrong with lunch or dinner at the new and improved grill. I'm here for it, all of it. Oh yeah, cocktails and mocktails...spot on. read more

Food, service, wine - it's all so good! ! was excited to try The Driskill Grill after the renovation. Its dark and vibey - like you're at a speakeasy. Service is top notch. All servers are nice and friendly. I had the Oysters and WOW. Massachusetts and Rhode Island were incredible. For entrees - we got the tenderloin, branzino, and crab fried rice. The crab fried rice has a little heat -and was my favorite part of the meal. The Branzino was fresh - and so delicious. The tenderloin was cooked very well. For wines we had a Petit Chablis and a red that paired nicely with everything. Overall - highly recommend and will comeback. read more

This was a special weekend as we had company who had NEVER been to TEXAS & came with a rather primitive option/expectation. Upon entering we were greeted by a friendly host, then seated in a room off the main dining room, and that was TERRIFIC! (a suggestion? maintain a supply of black napkins at the host stand, and the seater can observe guests clothing gather as many necessary, along with the menus ~ then can replace the BLK for the WHT as they seat the table. (as many people wear black, the white napkins leave noticeable lint on clothing PLUS it's a nice touch & guests really appreciate the additional detail) A.) because the main dining room was quite cold as we waited to be seated B.) because my husband is hard of hearing & this room allowed for easy conversation C.) because our server was Brance, (from Denver) was suberb who lead us through our dining experience. Our cocktail order was served from a bar tray ~the Vodka Tonic, Old Fashion & Gin Speciality cocktails. I wish you carried Aviation Gin , (less juniper) makes the blue cheese olives standout we asked to allow us to enjoy cocktails first, then started with the shrimp cocktail ~ served fresh & cold plus 5 shrimp made sharing for 3 guests easy in addition the sauce was excellent not your ordinary cocktail sauce, from there we all 3 shared a beautifully seasoned Cesar salad. The 6oz beef tenderloin was shared cooked exactly as ordered, medium rare with the house steak sauce. My 8oz filet tenderloin also perfectly prepared per my medium well request (no blood ) I only meant to eat about half just to damn DEEELISSH no to finish it all, add the Bernaise sauce & I had possibly THEE BEST STEAK I have ever enjoyed Sides are served ala cart (typical for hi end steak/fish restaurants) we indulged in the buttery whipped potatoes , sautéed broccolini both prepared perfectly. We did abstain from dessert however were presented with a small plate of tasty treats consisting of a tricked out full of flavor cherry button also a marshmallow sampler the ideal ending to a lovely night read more

3.8/5 Not the best steak in Austin but it was decent. We got the Wagyu ribeye which didn't have that melt in your mouth texture of Wagyu at all. Tasted like a regular steak. The pudding bread that came with the prime rib was good. Their house bread was just a toasted baguette but it was nice and soft inside, went great with the butter. Salad was decent. French onion soup was too sweet for me but my husband liked it. Crab fried rice was too salty for me. The baked Alaskan dessert had too much alcohol flavor. Chocolate cake was moist and good but a bit too dark and bitter for my taste. Good service. Liked the atmosphere too and decor. read more

Was very excited to try out the new Driskill Grill since they just went through a full renovation of the space. I wasn't able to see the old space so this is all new for me. Made a reservation for 645 on a Thursday and ended up sitting at the bar, which is very nice and spacious. The service could definitely use a little bit of help. I don't know if it was cause I was single not with a group, but definitely lagged between two different individuals at the bar. When a couple sat next to me, there definitely was a distinctive difference in the level of service provided. And by lagged, I mean, I ordered a glass of wine before I ordered my appetizer. The appetizer arrived before the wine and I ended up having to remind them about the wine as well. Second item that made the service lag was when you order steak a steak knife was not provided until after the steak arrived, and remember that couple that sat next to me the steak knife was delivered at the time that they placed their order. For the price point they are asking, details matter. I asked the gentleman if he was there before the renovation, and he let me know that all of the staff or at least most of them were newcomers due to the long timeframe that the restaurant was under renovation. Let me also explain why some of the service could use a little bit of improvement. Started off with a shrimp cocktail, which was made directly next to me at the raw bar and came to the bar within about 5 to 10 minutes after ordering the shrimp were delightful. Not quite sure what the cocktail sauce had in it as it definitely wasn't just the plain cocktail sauce however it did pair well with the shrimp. For dinner I ended up getting the Wagyu ribeye, which was kind of disappointed to be honest. When I think of Wagyu steak, you typically thinking of highly marbleized beef that is very tender and easy to chew and most of the time typically will melt in your mouth. This steak was definitely not that. The side I started on seemed to be just a regular typical steak nothing special about it. Yes, it was cooked to the correct medium rare however there was nothing tender about it or even marbleized and it was even a little bit more lean than I would expect just for a ribeye in general. I did end up getting the broccolini as a side, and that honestly was probably my favorite part of the meal. The bartender did wrap up the remainder of my steak as I ordered the Keylime pie for dessert. The Keylime pie I think the meringue on top tasted a little bit funny but I did enjoy the actual Keylime pie itself. Now the wrapping of my steak was held behind the bar or in the kitchen somewhere and I ended up leaving the restaurant without even remembering to ask for it before I departed. I got about halfway down seventh and I heard my name being called as one of the gentleman at the bar came after me to make sure I had my leftovers. Since the steak wasn't that memorable, that's probably why I didn't remember to try to take it home with me Needless to say, there are definitely many other steakhouses in the Austin area, I would not recommend this place for steak maybe for something else so I would go back to try other items on the menu, just stay away from the steak. read more

The food was great. We really enjoyed the dry aged ribeye and branzino. I don't normally enjoy steak at restaurants as much as my own, but this was probably the best steak I've ever had. That speaks volumes as someone that has steak once a week! So good.... I would do it again. The bacon was also a surprising and delicious app. It was more like brisket than bacon--very juicy and flavorful. Very rich French onion soup also. Loved it. The dessert bar cart is also so fun. The service was phenomenal and very elevated. We will definitely be back! Ambiance felt like a traditional, but elegant, steakhouse. Dim lighting... so you may need your phone flashlight for the menu! read more

Y'all! If you like fine dining with a side of live jazz music, you have to visit the newly renovated and newly reopened Driskill Grill! I have been waiting patiently for them to reopen and I was not disappointed at all. Date night, girl night, fine dining night! For my Friday date night, I made a reservation for 2 on Friday at 9p. I typically prefer 8:00 p.m. but 9:00 was all that was available. There is a valet right in front of the restaurant, I believe it was $25 plus tip. We were greeted when we entered and I was just in awe of the beautiful renovations. There was live music playing, jazz style on piano, there's live music every weekend I believe Friday, Saturday & Sunday. We were greeted by our server within 5 minutes of arriving then escorted to our table. Our server was super attentive and friendly. There was bread and butter brought out to the table and we both ordered cocktails. I had the Driskill martini and it was strong! My partner ordered a Mexican martini and it did not disappoint. It's not on the menu but they have a full bar so they made one. We ordered the petite Seafood Tower, Waldorf salad and red snapper. Please keep in mind that this is considered fine dining and the prices correlate. Cocktails on average are $19 to $24, petite seafood Tower was close to $100 for a 2 layer platter of fresh seafood. The Waldorf salad was not a traditional Waldorf but was fresh and had great flavor. I liked the cheese that was incorporated. The snapper was not a whole snapper just a piece of the fish and nothing comes with it all of the sides are all a la carte. I would like to come back for lunch on the weekend, there's live music and a lunch menu with lunch price. Just so that I could try more and stay within a reasonable budget. Anywho, I highly recommend visiting the new Driskill grill read more

Well, this place got ritzy! What used to be a pop-in for light bites and drinks hotel bar is now an upscale but not overly fancy steakhouse. To be honest, the vibe hasn't changed much from the old days, but the menu and service sure have. Seven of us came in for dinner on a Wednesday at 6 pm to celebrate a birthday. We had reservations and were seated right away. The hostess was friendly and held our big bags at the front while we dined. We had one child in our party, and our server immediately took care of their dinner order while the rest of us ordered drinks. Our kiddo really loves deviled eggs, and the kitchen whipped up this off menu item, along with a burger and fries. The rest of us ordered steaks and accompaniments, and a couple rounds of wisky and wine from a generous menu. We had keylime pie and chocolate cake for dessert. I completely enjoyed the meal and the experience. I do have a couple other steakhouses in Austin I love more, at slightly better price points. But this is a nice high end choice at a very traditionally Austin hotel in the heart of downtown. I think the layout worked well in what used to be kind of a long extra wide hallway. It's still somewhat moody, somewhat western, fairly casual, yet vibrant. read more

Food was lovely, some of the staff less so. My friends and I were catching up and hadn't looked at the menu yet. The server proceeds to tell us about a "more economical" choice on the menu, which very much seems like he was assuming that the cost was the reason for the delay. As we are leaving, I request a second to go bag as more than one person had leftovers. They brought the bag as we were reaching for our keys, etc in our respective purses. The server waits about 3 seconds before he places it on the FLOOR which I found to be quite rude. I recommend the food if you can stomach the pretentious wait staff or if you are the sort of people they want there. Gross. read more

Amazing food. Steak so tender it could be cut with a fork. Best ceviche we've ever had. Beautiful atmosphere! Will definitely return.

One of the best meals I've had in Austin and that's saying something. The branzino and Caesar salad were outstanding, easily some of the best I've ever had. And somehow, the French fries matched it. Simple done perfectly. The entire restaurant was a great vibe too. But the real standout of the night was our server, Augustus. His service was in a class of its own -- attentive, funny, genuinely excellent. He made the whole evening feel like a show. The Driskill Grill lives up to the legacy of the hotel. Do yourself a favor and go and if you're lucky enough to get Augustus, you're in for an unforgettable night. read more

I consider myself a bit of a foodie, and can confidently say I was blown away at how fantastic this meal was. The best dinner in recent memory in fact. Start with the house gin martini (which is served with a chilled sidecar of extra martini, an olive, pickled onion and lemon twist on the side). Then order exactly this: The whole branzino, crab fried rice and a glass of the Sancerre. Exceptional, no notes, just phenomenal. Consider this my new "death row" meal. read more

The Driskill Grill is perfect for a large party, special occasion, or anniversary date! The atmosphere is very intimate, as it is tucked behind the hotel bar/restaurant area behind glass doors. The difference between the quiet in the Driskill Grill versus the bar outside is actually quite stark. The decor is fancy, classic, and elevated. We ordered the duck, which was fantastic. The portion was large, the duck was tender and flavorful, the risotto was creamy, the dried orange peel pieces were interesting, mushrooms were yummy, sauce was perfect and added another dimension. For dessert we had the roasted banana semifreddo which was also good. I had never heard of or had a semifreddo so I was curious about it - I think it's ice cream but the texture is closer to a tiramisu or dense cake. I had called ahead to ask about parking and they said they validated valet parking. In reality they only validate $10 off of the original $30 valet price. read more

Impeccable service and one of the best steaks I have ever had. Great evening and will definitely return!!

Ridiculously pretentious. I could live with that if the food was good but it's terrible. It's a steakhouse and I ordered lobster. Maybe my bad. Also incredibly loud when the restaurant is full. read more

Impeccable food, service and ambience. I'm from LA and I would compare it to Musso and Frank's--but on steroids. There is more privacy because of the distance between tables. The selection of wines was fabulous with the help of a knowledgeable sommelier. The cocktails were smooth and flavorful. The Caesar Salad was beyond-no crusty croutons but tasty bread crumbs dusted over the lettuce with a divine dressing. The T-bone and fish were perfectly cooked. I'd just been talking in the days prior to our visit about Baked Alaska which I'd never had--and what do you think was on the dessert menu? It was delicious as was the chocolate cake. Our server was elegant and quietly attentive without the over-friendliness of too many restaurants. The music was in the background but not too loud, so conversation was possible without raising voices. It truly was a delightful, delicious and memorable experience. read more

Dropped in late one evening as bar served a limited menu. We went for salads, sides and wine which were all very good. They had a great list of wines by the glass and prices were a good value (compared to price gauging in NJ). Service was light but not bad and ambiance was what you would expect in an old school Texas steakhouse. read more

Realized I didn't add the pictures of the fantastic food so here they are. If you get the chance you should go eat here. It's a menu that had a lot of thought put into it by the Chef when he wrote it. read more

Came in here a few weekends ago on a Saturday evening to celebrate my friend's birthday. Overall vibes n ambiance: old-time fancy schmancy / kinda reminds me of the 1st class floor on the Titanic, stiff energy Both the food & service were mediocre. Overall, i walked away feeling pretty underwhelmed given the big hype this place gets. I mean, yet another menu downtown with little to few options/selections. Due to this, i settled with ordering the mac n cheese side dish for my food, which was creamy and tasty & worth the dairy/carb splurge, especially for a night ahead filled with booze. Another friend ordered their biscuit board & caesar salad; she said both were just okay, and that some of the biscuits/bread tasted on the staler side. The birthday girl of the evening ordered the spinach spaghetti entree, & loved it! We got a few rounds of drinks, including martinis we all enjoyed. Our server was very well aware that it was our friend's birthday dinner celebration, & yet still, she did not bring her any kind of dessert or special lil fingy?? For such a highly-esteemed establishment with the higher price points they have, i was v surprised & disappointed to find them having missed the mark on customer service, let alone leave us with any kind of "wow" impression as their reputation merits... Since their limited menu left me feeling jaded and bored, along with the seemingly unjustified, higher $$$ tags, i most likely will not be wasting my time $ etc on a second visit here. read more

It is a nice and elegant restaurant inside The Driskill hotel. You have to go past the bar which was jam packed yesterday. We had reservations which I highly recommend. Emily our server was super nice and knowledgeable and helped me with all my gluten related questions. I decided to go with the breast of duck and my husband with the fillet. The duck was absolutely delicious. It comes with a mushroom risotto and candied blood orange which makes a perfect bite with the duck. The citrusy of the blood orange really elevate the duck which had a perfect and black sear, but kept the moisture inside. The risotto was very creamy and the mushroom sauce provided that earthy combination. My husband really liked his fillet although it was a bit overcooked for his taste. He mentioned the latkes were good, but on the spicier side. For dessert we had the caramel flan which was the only gluten free option on the menu besides the sorbet. The flan was perfectly cooked and it had the perfect creamy texture. However, it lacked bit more of flavor. I wish it had more vanilla and was a tiny bit more sweet and the pears were more tender. read more

Old, dark wood, classic steakhouse in the famed Driskill Hotel. Excellent appetizers. Charcuterie and carpaccio were excellent. Menu is all steak and shellfish. Only 1 option (salmon) for those allergic to shellfish and don't want beef. 8oz filet ($60) was a little dry and overcooked. Requested medium rare. Blue-cheese spinach was too rich to eat. Scallops were good. Shrimp over seasoned and risotto was very rich. Had a large group (20) at three tables. It took 2 hours to get entrees and restaurant was less than 50% occupied. Good meal. Over-priced for food/service quality. I'd come back as a party of less than 6. Bar service was painfully slow both at the bar itself and in the grille. Understaffed for the crowd and it's a Tuesday. Only 3 occupied tables in the restaurant. It took 20 minutes to find out they were out of port. And they don't have Sambuca. read more

We just finished a delightful dinner experience at this newly reopened restaurant. We went to the pre-theater prix fixe menu and it was truly amazing. My wife and I are wine and food enthusiasts and frequently attend fine dinners with our Chaine des Rotisseurs fellow members around the planet. Tonight's dinner was Chaine worthy. We started with classic Oysters Rockefeller and Steak Tartar with bone marrow aioli and quail egg accompanied with a roasted Jalapeno. Both were plated beautifully with classic presentation. For entree's , my wife had the Tournedos Rossini with foie gras over a duck fat Latke in a truffle sauce. Prepared and presented to perfection. I had what turned out to be the house special which was a duck breast prepared with balsamic blood orange and mushroom risotto. AMAZING! The desert was a gold dark chocolate mousse cake, gianduja feuilletine base, with a mint gelato. So rich and it perfectly complimented the meal. Even the coffee was amazing. It was a local roasted coffee but had the taste and strength of a Turkish coffee. We ordered some Sambuca to compliment the richness with a bit of sweetness to offset the natural bitterness of the freshly roasted beans The atmosphere was what you would expect from a restaurant of this quality. See the pictures of the restaurant to get a sense of the atmosphere. Beyond the food, what made the dinner special was Emily, our server. She had the perfect demeanor and professionalism you would expect from a restaurant as special as this one. She knew the menu preparations and the wine list parings and made some wonderful recommendations that were on point. We asked to speak to the chef who was unavailable but we met with sous chef Cliff Benavides who gave us a blow by blow education of the food sourcing and meal presentation. He was passionate about his production and full of pride and gracious when we shared our appreciation for his efforts. He gave great praise to executive chef Mark Dayanandan for his ingenuity and also for allowing him to express his artful creations. All in all, I give this restaurant 5 stars. I should mention that we had dinner the night before at another "fine restaurant" in Austin which was very good but not near as special as this restaurant. I would go back to both but my first choice would be this restaurant which I will return to every time I visit Austin. My compliments to the chefs, servers and GM for reintroducing this restaurant in its glorious return. The only recommendation I would make is to change the music to something more consistent with the food quality and ambiance. I would suggest the Rat Pack or something similar. I realize we are in Texas and a Texas theme would be nice considering the history of the hotel but country music or 70's rock just are not a good match for the offering they honor us with as guests. This restaurant and polished staff are a must when in Austin. read more

A Memory for a Lifetime! We strolled into the Driskill looking for a recommended Old Fashioned (The TX Revolver it was great) and found The Driskill Grill. It wasn't crowded so we walked in and met our SUPER server Shawn. He was warm and welcoming. He recommended a wonderful Bluebonnet cocktail that smelled and tasted like being immersed in a flower. For the meal we enjoyed the Halibut Cerviche which was delicate and sweet. That was followed by the Steak Tartare paired with crostini, a bone marrow aioli, roasted jalapeños, and a quail egg. Classic dish that just a flavor explosion with each bite. For our main courses we enjoyed the Tournedos Rossini a 6 ounce filet mignon accented with sautéed spinach, potato rösti, and a fantastic truffle sauce, and a marvelous Braised Short Rib completed the meal. The Driskill Grill is back in a big way!!!!! We had a wonderful conversation with the chef after the meal! When you are in Downtown Austin pay a visit to the Driskill Grill to enjoy a top notch culinary experience! read more

It's been awhile since I've been here and it seems I've forgotten to drop a review. I was excited to try this place because of the history, but the food was not what I was expecting. I definitely can't remember what the name of each dish we ordered is called but I didn't particularly like it because it was a mixture of savory and sweet in an entree dish. I thought that was a strange mixture and most of the food that night was like this. I also think for that night there was special menu. Overall, this place is very classy and upscale. It's expensive so it's more on a high end budget. However, the restaurant interior is pretty nice and when you walk into the building, it is very classic and nice. Our waiter was courteous and manage to explained all our courses to us. read more

Upon arriving Kevin the Host greeted us and made us feel SO welcomed ( something we usually don't feel in nice restaurants).

I was staying at the hotel for my birthday and wanted to grab dinner before we went to a show that night. It was right before 6 pm and I was surprised that the dining room was totally empty considering how crowded the bar area was that night. I wasn't surprised that they were able to seat us without a reservation, but we were on a really tight time crunch and I was rather concerned that a fancy restaurant might have a hard time serving us in the 30 minutes that we had. I explained our dilemma to the waiter and he did a great job at pointing out menu items that would be fast for the kitchen to make. We not only received our food very quickly, but they still did a great job cooking the scallops spot on and plating my husband's swordfish beautifully. It was quite expensive, as you'd expect from an upscale place, but it was totally worth it for the stellar service and delicious food. read more

This was our first stop on our Austin eating tour 1/25/23! We didn't have a reservation as we were starved coming off the plane. The hostess with the nicely styled blonde hair was kind enough to find room for me and the wife as we were getting close 8pm. This place is decked out in a spectacular craftsman wood finish. Enough of the architecture down to the food and drink! Our server was Shawn a classy guy w/Cali hospitality. He had great recommendations for food. We had the lobster bisque, crab cakes, bacon wrapped dates and pan seared cod. My wife loves Mezcal so he recommend Samantha's Ghost and I had a nice strong Cadillac Margarita. Shawn gave us great recommendations for places during our stay in Austin and we hit quite a few. Great service with a warm friendly staff.

I stayed at the Driskill hotel to celebrate my birthday. So the Driskill Grill made it easy for me to decide where to celebrate my birthday dinner (July 4th)!!! The ambiance was quiet and very grown up. I would not recommend the Driskill Grill for dinner unless you are kid free. The grill is around the corner from the bar area. There were a plethora of food options for steak and seafood lovers. The appropriate dress code would be business casual or snappy casual. You could even where a dress shirt and tie if you'd like. Most ladies were wearing dresses and or dressy shirts with slacks. The grill is available to guests of the hotel and people who are not staying at the hotel. You have to valet if you chose to park in the hotel parking. I will be back soon when I come back to Austin. read more

The food was good here. It's in the hotel and the bar area/lobby was so crowded and we had to walk through there to go to the bathroom. I thought the food was good however I think it was over priced. It shouldn't be that expensive. Also the Mac and cheese has a hint of orange peel and I didn't like that. They ran out of one if there cocktails but they took a long enough time to tell us. Also when we got our bill we didn't understand it. It had gratuity added in as well as a service fee. Giving our waitress over a 140 dollar tip. We ask her what that is and she said she didn't know how that happened and it has never happened before. And I don't believe that so be sure to check your bill and make sure they aren't stealing from you. read more
