Lisa K: Might be a little pricey but when you see the huge chunks of lobster, it's worth it!
Austin Chronicle: Fresh, authentic lobster rolls served either Maine Style (mayo, celery, Bibb lettuce) or Connecticut Style (with lemon-tarragon drawn butter and scallions). Both are heavenly. Read more.

Jason Tennenbaum: A good find in the Austin food market. Ensure yourself an italian night with well prepared dishes, smooth wine, and a comfortable wait staff. Reservations recommended in advanced.

Patrizio: Can't decide which pizza to get? You can order your pizza 50/50 and have the best of the best. Can't go wrong with the patata or the margherita. ~ The team at HomeStyleAustin.com

Mia Moore: Bring cash, the valet is free, but do tip. The creme brulee french toast and breakfast in bread french toast were both excellent. They also give you a croissant and strawberry butter before the meal!
Christina: Wi-Fi password: eatdessertfirst
Irma Rodriguez: On Sunday, make reservations for brunch for 10 am or later, no alcohol is served before that hour, and you might want to try the bloody Mary's or mimosas

Hotel · Downtown Austin · 169 tips and reviews
John Pruitt 👍: This is the spot where you want to come and enjoy a great classic hotel. The bar is phenomenal and a great place to start early and end late! My top spot to stay when in Austin!
CNN: Opened in 1886, this is the oldest operating hotel in Austin. Legend has it the original owner, cattle baron Jesse Driskill, lost the hotel to his brother in law in a poker game in 1888.
The Most Interesting Man in the World: They say this lovely Texas landmark is haunted. Me? I don’t believe in ghosts, and I had a lengthy debate about this very topic with a rather opaque visitor one autumn night in room 319.

Sommer Kapitan: The tofu scramble is a panty-dropper. Seriously. I want to take this scramble to bed and roll around in it's yeasty, loamy goodness. Best scramble I've found in the states.
