Group Therapy Pro Tips: 1) How to get inside? I genuinely had a difficult time figuring out how to get to the restaurant, so to save you the confusion: Enter the hotel via pick up/drop off and take the elevator to the 7th floor. Exit, turn the right corner and head straight to the hostess stand! 2) Street parking is free Sundays, so take advantage of that instead of paying the $12 for 2 hour valet service (surcharge if you stay longer!) Now let's get down to the brunch time experience and food! We were seated poolside which was amazing because we could enjoy the beautiful fall breeze and the view of downtown (well, the top of buildings). They have fans running to help deter pests, so definitely worth bringing a coat/jacket now that the weather is a little cooler. Overall, a very relaxed vibe! I ordered the "Save Your Tears" which is a giant orange vodka/grapefruit concoction that was $15. I genuinely found the drinks to be overpriced, but it was a decent pour and gave me the perfect brunch time buzz (ya feel me?). For food, I ordered their chicken sandwich which comes with a side of shoestring style fries for $16. The fries were hot and nicely salted. The chicken sandwich was a good size, but the chicken breast was a little small for the bun size. Size aside, the chicken had a nice and crisp outer shell and did not taste greasy one bit. My companions purchased from the breakfast menu for which the portions were incredibly generous considering. Service was attentive and friendly. Overall, great spot to relax and enjoy some quality time with friends! Highly recommend sitting outside versus inside if you have the option. read more

Great service from Priscilla! Food and drinks were excellent. Definitely recommended for a great atmosphere and service

Great service. Yummy menu. Beautiful setting. Definitely hit this place if you are staying in the hotel. But I'd also come back just for the food. Excellent wine list also. read more

The ambiance was nice but our food and server was just ok. We started off with the espresso martinis (dark chocolate and dirty chai). To me the dirty chai was way too strong. For appetizers, we got the volcano salt garlic fries, brussel sprouts, and baked brie. The fries and Brussels sprouts were crispy and delicious. I wasn't fan of the baked brie, it was two sweet for me and was just missing something. For the entree I got the scallops with parmesan risotto and asparagus. I thought the scallops were overcooked and very chewy. The risotto was decent. I would not come back here due to poor service and food quality. read more

We had so much fun with Deja! Very helpful and friendly! Also the fried chicken was amazing!

One of our favorite places in Austin for an easy bite to eat. Solid drinks, reliable service, and simple (yet delicious) food! Highly suggest for a good view and an easy bite. read more

Group Therapy - The main entrance 7th floor of hotel - Wine Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ambiance is great, the service was also incredible given it was a large group dinner. As for the food, this poke bowl unfortunately was mid to underwhelming. For the price and venue, I'd rather go to a poke specific restaurant for the customization options. The fish was fresh, the seaweed salad was a nice touch, but I would opt for something else on the menu! read more

Fun atmosphere. Came here on a date and got an espresso martini. Was very fun and the service was excellent. A little spendy but you get what you pay for so overall no complaints. On the 7th floor of the hotel! read more

Loved it! I have been wanting to come here and have dinner and watch the sunset from the rooftop for so long! finally made it for date night and it was so cute and vibey! Priscilla our server was so sweet and kind, she gave us recommendation for drinks, appetizers and entries and all were a win! We had the mini crispy ahi tuna tacos, the fried chicken and the salmon. 10/10. I don't really like sweets but Priscilla really sold us on the gooey butter cake and it was DIVINE! I can't stop thinking about when I'm gonna have this cake again. I dream of this cake. Thank you Priscilla. read more

What a great place to start off our Saturday night! Great ambience with live music on the weekends. The restaurant is located on the 7th floor at Hotel ZaZa. There's a little outdoor patio with views of the pool and downtown. The food here was surprisingly pretty good. Standouts were the lamb lollipops (the pistachio mint pesto feta dip was so good we asked for extra side!) and the crispy buttermilk chicken breast. The espresso martinis were a 10/10 I had to order a second round lol. read more

Excellent service, felt right at home with Jackson and Demetrius . Great cocktails and the ambiance was 10/10. Will be back soon!

After dinner, my friend made a reservation for us to get drinks to celebrate her birthday. Our dinner went way over and we ended up being an hour late to the bar. It was the Friday night after the Texas/Alabama game, so it was busy. Despite this, they were very accommodating and sat us. Eventually, they were able to move us outside to enjoy the wonderful evening. The decorations in the areas leading to the bar are a bit strange and hard to describe. The bar itself was amazing and had a great ambiance. It was easy to hold a conversation with friends. I got the dark chocolate espresso martini and that was SO good. It was very rich. The drinks were a little overpriced for my taste, but it is a restaurant in the city. Overall, my friends and all LOVED our drinks and I will be going back if I find myself in Austin again. read more

Horrible service. Employees or slow, drinks are all pre made. Won't eat here again. Not sure why there was such a disconnect between everyone. read more

If you are hungry, don't come to this restaurant - terrible service We arrived at the restaurant today Friday evening when we came to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary with the children, after half an hour a waitress approached us, after half an hour of ordering we only received the soup and salad, an hour and a half from the moment we arrived and the main courses still hadn't arrived. We asked several times to speed up the arrival of the food. In the end we gave up and left Shamelessly they even charged us for the appetizers and drinks read more

My friends and I wandered up here after having a few cocktails in this area to change up our Sunday Funday. Group Therapy is exactly a spot you want to come in on a Sunday as the vibes here are just right for you to top off a great day. Located inside Hotel ZaZa this is a spot you want to be if you want to cool down and maybe do some swimming in their gorgeous pool too. They stay open late as well and no reservation is needed (from what we could tell). On Sundays they stay open until midnight which is great as most pool bars on Sundays close up early. The bar is super cool as in cold so you know this is the best spot to be on summer early to late evenings. Even on a Sunday mid-afternoon it was the best place to cool off and enjoy the lovely and elegant bar. We started with wine and local draft beers at the bar. The seats are super cushiony and high class I really love the print of all the booths and the high bar stools! I highly recommend a seat at the bar if you are with 2-3 people. There are other spots and larger tables around especially near the library areas where you can chill out, grab a book behind you, and catch up over a nice fancy cocktail with your friends. Food menu is available but we only had drinks and watched the sunset from the pool area as it went down. Also see if you can find your favorite actor/actress, musician, or famous person as you make your way up to the bar from the hotel. There are so many great authentic pictures all around in the elevators, walls, and restrooms. read more

Came here on July 22nd with a rezzy for 3. Even though it's downtown, they do offer complimentary (2 hr) valet which is a huge plus. We were sat instantly and our server was very polite, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. He actually sold me on trying their special of the day, their scallops, which were AMAZING. We started off with the deviled eggs which were fun because we got to try 3 different styles. The volcano salt fries are literal crack. I'm not huge on fries, but man when they do them just right and oh so crispy...we could not stop eating them. The others enjoyed their dishes as well. Even though we were full, we had to try a dessert. We got the creme brule which had the most fruit I had ever seen come with this dish. The fruit was SO fresh and made this dessert really come together. We tried their espresso martinis, and for $20 each, they were just average. The reason for not a perfect 5 stars is a lot of their menu is definitely overpriced. But, that comes with the territory of a restaurant downtown, especially in the Zaza hotel. The Zaza is a cool hotel to explore in general which is a bonus. Overall we will be coming back. read more

Atmosphere was nice but service was horrible! Came here for a brunch. They definitely didn't have enough staff on and we had a reservation so being sat quickly helped. However, our drinks came 30 min after ordering them, food came an hour after ordering and it seemed like we were never checked on. Once the food came out I'll say it was very good but other than that it wasn't the best experience. Would love to give them another shot but dont know if we will be going back. read more

Demetrius and Jackson are the best bartenders ever. Will be coming back just for them.

Service was really poor. It took 40 minutes to get our soup and 70 minutes to get our entrees. That's gotta be a record for a wait time on soup for any restaurant I've been to. It most certainly was not busy when we arrived. The table next to us got their entrees at the same time as us that they only waited 20 mins. It was obvious that we were forgotten about but it was never addressed by the server or management. We saw the host and food runner more than our server, shout out to those 2 hard workers. The ambiance was nice on the patio. They had live music playing inside the restaurant but for some reason didn't have the audio set up to play on the patio. The French onion soup, shrimp bisque, and ahi poke bowl were all great. The ahi and French onion were on the small side, but luckily I ordered both since we ended up waiting a good while to eat. The chicken sandwich wasn't that good. We would like to come back based on the food and ambiance, but probably will not based on the service. read more

Super cute bar restaurant bar inside Hotel Zaza! Valet parking is $12. The name of the restaurant is super... weird? I see what they tried to do here but the menu doesn't have a play on words or continue with the theme.Nor does it go with the "pop culture" theme of the hotel art. Not sure who came up with this concept. The drinks were SO STRONG (in a good way) ! I recommend this place if you want to get a really nice buzz. I had the Zaza Sangria which knocked my socks off lol. Service was slow we were seated for 10 minutes before anyone came over to check on us although our waitress was nice. The menu is really limited but the Brioche French Toast was okay. I will for sure be back to enjoy the drinks and atmosphere! I loved that the place was essentially empty. I really hope they expand the menu and learn to provide more efficient service.. read more

*Visited May 2021* Soooo enjoyed our dinner here!! We arrived pretty late (after 10My girlfriends and I each had a different meal and drink and not a single complaint. I think I finished my lamb chops so fast, I didn't even offer a bite to anyone else LOL. We wanted to order the deviled eggs but thought, "$20 for MAYBE 6 cut in half eggs???" so we skipped them. The whipped feta app...mmmmm delicious. One of the girls had the buttermilk chicken and if it was acceptable, probably would have licked the plate clean. Drinks we ordered: Spring Fever, Rye Tai, Agua Fresca, and Yuzu Cooler. All great options. Really beautiful décor all throughout the restaurant and hallway areas. I would definitely come back if I visit Austin again! read more

Jackson gave excellent service and made me the best drink with mezcal. Will be coming back ASAP

Tried this place out and it was super cute! I liked the atmosphere and decoration. For food, we ordered the whipped feta dip to start and I wasn't sold on it. It wasn't exactly whipped.. had large chunks of feta in it & it came with peppers which still had seeds and their stem which was an oddity. I ordered the crispy buttermilk chicken breast which was delicious. The potatoes and green beans were OK but the chicken shined so I was alright with it. My sister ordered the spicy crispy chicken sandwich and reported it to be OK and was little scarce on the sauce. For drinks we started with espresso martinis which was a popular choice amongst all restaurant attendees and for good reason - it was delicious. What lowered my rating so much was the service. It was incredibly slow. Our server was a nice gentleman but we saw him infrequently and when he did check in on us it was brief and we were not always able to communicate what we wanted before he was on the move again. I can deal with subpar service but this was pretty note worthy and would make this place hard for me to recommend to anyone. I actually wrote this review waiting for the waiter to come back and still am waiting :'-) read more

The ambiance truly is what makes the location in my opinion. The drinks were tasty & reliable, the peppermint espresso martini was the perfect ending for the meal along with a delicious giant brownie al la mode! The volcano fries came with goat ranch however I swapped for the aioli which I enjoyed. The honey addition with the mashed potatoes in the crispy buttermilk-dipped chicken breast entree is dream worthy. read more

Located in Hotel Zaza-Enter by the valet. Super cool space, beautiful bar, and great service. I had dinner here with co-workers recently. Drinks are a little steep, but they are everywhere. Since I was with a group, we sat in the library area, super cute. Love the view of the pool, but it closes pretty early..I think 7 in case you like your drinks with the amazing view. I ordered the salmon, super good. I also tasted the short ribs, so tender! read more

Bryan was secuela to be delicate as it was my first visit to Austin, TX. I was not sure of anything but I had ideas. His suggestions were right on point with my palette, from wine to main course. The chef's preparation of the salmon was beyond excellent. The warmer weather patterns and the peaceful atmosphere on the pool deck, made my experience most enjoyable. My best meal thus far. Thank you chef, thank you Bryan, thank you Group Therapy. read more

We made a reservation for a Monday evening. When we walked in, no-one was in sight. I had to go find someone to seat us. We sat outside by the pool and were quickly greeted by our waitress. For the appetizer we had the crispy jalapeño calamari. It was okay. Not great. The roasted jalapeño salsa was pretty solid though. I ordered the salmon and tuna poke bowl. This dish was great! The salmon and tuna were perfect! I would definitely come back for this dish. My boyfriend ordered the crispy buttermilk-dipped chicken breast. This dish was pretty massive! I had a taste of it and thought it was okay. My boyfriend liked it, but would probably not order it again. Overall, just an okay place. read more
