    Salmon entree
    Emily H.

    The Tradition is an American restaurant that opened a few months ago. My friend took me there for a bday a week ago and we had apps in the rooftop bar followed by dinner at the Tradition (floor 1). Parking was easy via the Hyatt hotel's valet. The restaurant was empty except for one four-top, which was seated directly adjacent to us. (Two twenty something girls celebrating their birthday with their moms by going to the Tradition for dinner followed by a trip to Slick Dick's (!!!). We split the wedge salad but I could swear it was served with Caesar dressing instead of Ranch. Is that possible? The menu is similar to a stereotypical hotel bar, which it is, in that they specialize in nothing and offer something for everyone: sandwiches, pasta, bbq, seafood, hamburgers, salads, etc. We both ordered the salmon, which was cooked perfectly and served on top of a slightly bready and bland crab cake, which was served on top of whipped mashed potatoes, and served with a side of Béarnaise and asparagus. We enjoyed the side of Brussel sprouts that we split. The cheesecake was good but the taste and texture was more like flan. Service was exceptional.

    The Austin 3 Egger with delicious crispy Tuscan potatoes.
    Maribeth P.

    I enjoyed an incredible breakfast. I ordered the Austin 3 Egger with sourdough bread. It was delicious especially the side of crispy breakfast potatoes with Tuscan seasoning! Service was very attentive and Cindy was fabulous. Also, the Green Juice was perfect. Lovely, sunny space with huge floor to windows that bring in the cityscape while dining. Great restaurant!

    Eggs Benedict and espresso macchiato.

    While the food was excellent - the Benedict was made to perfection (as sauce didn't overwhelm the dish) the service was amazing. Cindy was super attentive (even while having multiple tables) and so helpful. Also, love the large windows looking out to Austin streets...

    I have never been to this establishment so this review is solely on customer service. For the opening they were hosting a giveaway to both restaurants on IG. I was in talks with someone through their Instagram as I had been the winner of the giveaway. After asking for next steps, all my messages have just been read and never replied to. I have also sent communication through their website and have yet to receive a response.

The ambiance is really fun and unique, especially with the little water pond that adds a relaxed, outdoorsy vibe. There's a good mix of indoor and outdoor seating, so it works for different moods and weather. The drink menu is huge, with coffee, tea, and both alcoholic and non alcoholic options, so it's an easy pick no matter what you're in the mood for. I also like that there are food trucks right outside, which makes grabbing a bite super convenient. Plus, the large parking lot is a nice bonus. Overall, it's a really solid, easygoing spot for hanging out or going on a casual date.

The coffee is spot on as at the other location. Shared an iced butterscotch latte with my boyfriend and it was yumx2. There are similar interior decor elements but the exterior spaces differ slightly. Saltillo is more industrial and city. This location is huge with lots of outdoor seating as well as indoor. They've got a mini food truck park (3 trucks), koi pond, chickens, nature, etc. It's definitely a great spot for families with kids and larger gatherings of folks. Just like "our" location, service is exceptional. Everyone was so good to Sir Benjamin. He was so relaxed and chill during our hangout. It's that peaceful vibe that comes with good service and pretty landscaping.

    Mozart's Cafe was such a pleasant surprise. I stopped by on a Tuesday night because I wanted a hot…read morecup of coffee after dinner, and I was so happy to find a place open until midnight when most other coffee shops were already closed. That alone made it a great find, but what made the experience even better was discovering that they also had live entertainment on Tuesday night until 11. It turned a simple coffee stop into a really enjoyable evening. I ordered a coffee and a brownie, and while the total was a little on the expensive side, around $15 or $16, it felt completely worth it to me. The quality was there, and everything felt a bit more gourmet than your average coffee shop stop. The brownie was delicious, the coffee was exactly what I wanted, and the overall atmosphere made the price feel justified. Between the free entertainment, the beautiful decor, and the location, it felt like much more than just paying for coffee and dessert. One of the best parts of the experience was the setting. Being right on the water made it especially beautiful at night. You can enjoy your drink, take a walk, look at the lights, and just soak in the scenery. It was the perfect place to unwind after a heavy meal and a long workday. Since I was only in Austin for work and do not live in the area, I was really glad I found somewhere that felt special and relaxing instead of just functional. The staff was also very friendly, which added a lot to the experience. Good service always makes a difference, and here it made the place feel even more welcoming. Overall, I definitely recommend Mozart's Cafe if you are looking for a late-night coffee spot with charm, scenery, and a unique atmosphere. I would absolutely go back again.

While there was nothing particularly…read moreextraordinary about the coffee or the smoothie that looks more like a juice ,we still had a nice time overall. The view was beautiful, and the live music was a really nice added touch that made the experience more enjoyable. The register area could use a little more organization since it felt somewhat chaotic at times, and parking was also difficult to find. Overall, it's a good place to visit for the experience and atmosphere.

It was definitely good and had a unique flavor, but it didn't fully win me over. I enjoyed trying it, but it's probably not something I'd order again. The guava matcha, on the other hand, was incredible. Easily one of the best matchas I've ever had. The flavor was perfectly balanced, not too earthy, smooth, and just the right amount of sweetness. Exactly how I like my matcha. Overall, such a fun spot to try creative drinks. I'd absolutely come back for the matcha alone! Note to self, my cousins ordered the white miso and they said it was a little too watery. Get it warm ask for ice on the side.

The croissant I had last year was so perfectly crunchy and flakey, literally one of the best croissants I've had in the states. This year it was still good but didn't have that super flaky crunchy top. Still recommend! I've only had the plain. Guava next maybe? And yes, the line is always "long" but they move very quickly. The line was probably 20 people and took less than 10min. Last year they had breakfast tacos in the courtyard from a local place, but I didn't see that this year so maybe it's not happening anymore. Overall 100/10 recommend this place! Worth the wait.
