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

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

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

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

One of my favorite rooftops!! We originally wanted to sit on the couch area but it was only for hotel guests so we ended up getting this really cool table on the corner still with amazing views!! I loved the drink names ! They definitely caught my eye. Food was great. 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

Those lamb chops are amazing but the star of the show is our bartender Demetrius. Always the best service and drinks hands down!! cheers

*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

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

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

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

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

Such a cute bar/restaurant! The staff is usually super sweet and the drinks are very good. My favorite drink to order is the coconut espresso martini. The vibe is cute, sometimes there is live music, and the appetizers are delicious. This is a cool spot to go to on a date or hangout.

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

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

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

Love it. Dakota is awesome. The chocolate espresso martini is yum. Definitely check out 7th floor group therapy for good food and drinks.

Such a pretty restaurant with tasty food! Highly recommend for brunch. We shared our entrees because it was so hard to decide what we each wanted off the menu! read more

Great ambiance and good service. Food was creative and tasty. Big bar scene too. We went in a Saturday night and the bar area was a little too crowded. It made or dinning experience a little too noisy, but all in all it was a good experience. Thank you read more

I can't give this higher than 2 stars because the service was way too aloof. The views are amazing! This means that the drink prices are high, but it's hardly surprising. My drink was good but easy to replicate elsewhere, maybe even with some frozen fruit juice concentrate at home. When we entered, there was no indication of who would be our server or if we needed to order drinks ourselves if we sat outside. We thought it would be the former, so we waited for 15 minutes as servers walked by various outdoor tables and pretended not to notice anyone. We had to make eye contact with them, hoping they would acknowledge our existence. Finally, one did. Kevin was helpful and very nice. It took way too long to find someone as our waiter, and the overall snootiness was off putting. We shouldn't have to settle for table scraps of the staff's attention for $16 drinks. read more

Cathy was amazing! I made about a million changes to my meal, and she was incredibly nice and accommodating! Excellent service!

The food quality has improved since my previous visit over a year ago. The cocktails were also good and my old fashioned was very festive, with the cocktail ingredients arriving in two Christmas ornament balls. Our server was great and doing the best she could considering how far away our table was from everyone else. The ambiance was not what I had anticipated for a special occasion. Although we made our reservations over three weeks in advance, when we arrived it was as if we had none. First we were offered bar seats, and when I asked for a table we were shuttled to the back patio outdoors in an obviously make-shift area that was totally in the dark once the lights were dimmed (we had to ask for a candle, which barely helped). Although there were 4 tables we were offered the end one, with the view blocked and next to the restrooms. When I inquired about the empty table next to it we were told it was already reserved, which made me wonder, how does one reservation get the "better" table when the party wasn't even there and there's no option to select your table in advance? We were there 2.5 hours and no one ever claimed the empty tables next to us. (In case you're wondering, yes were were dressed up and looked nice). read more

Pretty stellar ambience, and very dog friendly. The outdoor couches are pleasant to relax on with the pups.

Great ambiance with the space and live music. Came for dinner and ordered the calamari, lamb pops, and wedge salad. Food was good except for the calamari that was over cooked/cold/not spicy as advertised. Cocktails were great as well, definitely try the mule and espresso martini. Service was very slow but you could tell they were understaffed. I'll give them a pass on that during these tougher times. They were out of a lot of red wines which was disappointing, but I guess we came on the wrong night/too late bc there's a half off bottle deal on Wednesday's. I'll be back but earlier to avoid the cabernet drought lol 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

Came in with a group of 16. We had previously been with just two people for drinks and loved the atmosphere. The two stars is only for the look of the place and the live music. The food was standard, but the $50 8oz filet was barely even 3 oz. We're a big meat family and were so shocked that a tiny puck came out. We had a lot of people so I always give leeway to our server, but this server barely cared about us. Took nearly 30 minutes to get our first round of drinks after sitting down. Didn't see her again for another 20 minutes...ordered apps and another round of drinks. Took a while to get those & one appetizer was missing. It happens, but the problem was we never saw our server to try to tell her we were missing stuff. When dinner came, one of our guests didn't have food until we were nearly finished eating (hot food). Another server who was bringing out our food was able to get the missing stuff out to us and bring plates since we didn't have any. I'm so embarrassed that multiple guests had to get up to chase down the server for simple things like more water or appetizer plates or even just another drink. At the end we couldn't split the bill, but that's pretty standard. I did notice that they added an automatic 20% gratuity, which again pretty standard, but definitely explains why we barely saw our waitress. I don't remember seeing it anywhere on the menu and it wasn't conveyed verbally when I booked the reservation over a month ago. First time out celebrating in two years and it was a bit of a let down. We will not be back, especially for big parties. read more

This review comes with a few caveats, such as...don't go if you are in a hurry. Service was very slow. That aside, it's a lot of fun and a gorgeous, creative space. The food is simple and well prepared. I decided not to penalize with a lower rating, and will return for another try. The staff was very apologetic about the delays, and the manager came by and made good --so very sincere effort! What was outstanding were the drinks!!! Lovely cocktails! Wine was very expensive. We tried the Curious traveler appetizer, a small sampler of lamb, Brussels spouts and calamari. It was just enough for 4 to taste! Here's what our table ordered...short ribs (outstanding), shrimp with pasta (creamy and rich), cheeseburger with a mountain of crisp thin fries (amazing!!! Husband begrudgingly shared with all), and I had the superfoods bowl, very fresh and no heavy dressing -- good for vegans, but not a lot of pizzazz (Quinoa, avocado, sprouts and sweet potatoes). We also had dessert...something we usually skip, but we were celebrating. Brownie was especially tasty with a crispy outside topped with ice cream --four spoons. As the night went on, the bar got crowded with a loud gathering right by our table. Not pleasant. Next time I would ask for a table away from the bar. And, go early if dining... or join the bar crowd. Festive even on a week night. Nice pool area just outside dining room. read more

I have been to Group Therapy a handful of times and this last time will be my last. It is loud, expensive, and has poor service. That said, the restaurant is beautiful and the outdoor patio is a delight. The prior two times we have walked in and stared at by the customers. Not a fault of the restaurant, but you're met instantly with a weird energy. The hosts are unfriendly. Onto the food and drinks. Food is good, there are some reasonably priced items. Cocktails are out of this world. The cheapest cocktail is $20. This past visit will be my last, here are the events that unfolded: We were a party of 8 celebrating a birthday and came around 8 PM. We were just coming for drinks and were sat outside by the pool in a cabana and it was a very nice atmosphere. Instantly, the waiter, Karl, insisted on bringing out a birthday shot. He proceeded to bring out 8 (again, which we were not expecting) pink lemon drop shots. He said he would comp the shot for the birthday boy. Then, we ordered a Veuve Clicquot, Yellow Label for the table. $150. Obviously overpriced ($30/glass) -- whatever, we are celebrating. 10 minutes later the waiter comes back with two small bottles and said this is what they had. I don't know, if you're charging $150 for a bottle I would expect them to actually have one lol. Then someone ordered a bottle of rose. 5 of us got cocktails, one got a beer. The waiter was pushy with the drinks, which were extremely slow to come out. After the drinks came out, the waiter told the birthday boy that they could not make his cocktail and offered an alternative. My Titos Martini was $21. The bill came, the waiter said they are unable to split the bill more than 3 ways (weird thing to admit at the end of the meal). I offered to put my card down. I noted the bill had 20% gratuity included which was hidden, while the write-in tip part was enlarged. There was no mention of automatic gratuity. I understand that gratuity is included in larger parties sometimes when the bill is split - but we did not split and also we did not order any food. Then, I noticed that the pink lemon drop shots were $22 each!!! For shots we didn't even want. And, the birthday boy's was not even comped. I asked the waiter how much the shots were and he said $20 and he comped the drink because it was the same price. I said the receipt says they're $22 each, and that he comped a less-expensive item. I dropped it to avoid causing a scene. Overall, the whole experience felt somewhat dishonest. The restaurant is loud, expensive, and truly the only thing it has going for it is the name. read more
