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

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

We enjoyed our first time! Food was amazing, our server Robyn was so kind and helpful. Chill ambiance, tons of art and cool places to take pictures. We will definitely be back! read more

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

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

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

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

Catherine was amazing! We enjoyed the patio & pool area on 2 separate occasions. Both experiences were relaxing and enjoyable. Catherine made the experience top notch with excellent service and her pleasant personality. read more

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.

The restaurant is spacious and clean! Our server Catherine was efficient and really friendly. She recommended the lamb lollipops and prime fillet which are outstanding! We will definitely come back! read more

We had a lovely meal here for lunch and vibes here are pretty fun! We had personal recommendations right for us from our server (catherine), the overall experience is fantanstic especially the outstanding food and service! read more

Cathrine was so great! She was so fun to talk to and brought such fun energy to our night! Request her!

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

One of our many stops during our Bachelorette weekend! Brunch here was tasty and fun! Great service! Outside/rooftop vibes. There was a live DJ during our meal. The girls really enjoyed themselves! 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

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

Great food and drink, and exceptional server - Monique was unbelievably thoughtful and efficient. We had an unforgettably great experience because of her! 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

THIS PLACE IS UNREAL!! We were in Austin for 4 days and we came here 3 of the 4 days because it was THAT GOOD! The doughnut balls were amazing and the cake doughnuts were just so rich and addicting. A must have to stop in Austin read more

Worst preparation of pork belly ever, overcharged for another item, Service was incredibly slow. I never post bad reviews but this deserves it. Burger was good though read more

Mike is the best dang bartender at Group Therapy! Super friendly! Made us feel right at home every time we come here! My man needs a raise!

I took my girlfriend here on Sunday night to enjoy a quiet night of drinks. We loved the drinks here and the bartender knew his recipes, other off-menu cocktails, and extensive top shelf. The venue is very nice with plenty of tables indoor and patio. The menu has lots of options for lunch, dinner, and brunch. We did not get a checkup from the bartender after our first round of drinks, but that isn't enough to dock a whole star. Definitely recommend their drinks! read more

Group Therapy - Russian Sunrise and Paloma - Wine Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Group therapy was amazing last night for New Year's Eve! Our server James was the best, he gave us great recommendations on what to order and was very friendly!! Thank you James!! I got the cucumber and tomato salad with chicken on top and the mushroom bruschetta which were both amazing. My bf got the crispy chicken and it was honestly one of the best fried chicken dishes we've ever had! I had been before but not recently, and we had an amazing time! read more

Came here for the espresso martini and the brownie and ice cream. The ambiance low key reminds one of LA vibes. You can't go wrong with sitting inside or outside. Definitely would come back. This is a grown vibe with a slight splash of class. Michael our server was excellent. Come here for drinks and you will not be disappointed. read more

I enjoy this restaurant, but last evening when we visited, it had a rather odd vibe. Many people seeking partners? I found it unusual. The food wasn't as tasty as usual, and the costs increased. read more

Really enjoyed coming here for HH. Had a couple drinks and appetizers. Will def be going back to try more apps and drinks!

Dakota was very helpful and professional in helping me arrange two reservations for my son's graduation weekend. much appreciated

Food was good but the slowest server ever, he really ruined the experience despise several attempts to get him to come back and help us. At their price point there is no excuse for poor service. We had to ask another server for our check, to fix his mistake on it and then get it and find someone give it to. Last drink to check took an hour! read more

This is SUCH a cute spot! The food was super yummy, drinks were on point and the entire vibe was really cute! My ONLY issue was how SLOWWWW the service was. I used to be a server so I usually give the benefit of the doubt or expect communication if things are moving slowly but unfortunately, no one checked in, I had to flag random servers down to send our server over to order another drink, we ordered Brussels sprouts that never came out, and it was just what seemed disorganized all around. Other than the service, it was great! read more

First time trying Group Therapy for a friend's birthday dinner, overall great experience. Super friendly staff and they were extremely willing to let us switch tables when my group decided we'd rather sit inside than outside. Restaurant is adorable and the bathroom is even cuter. Food was good, I ordered a poboy, great portions but I probably wouldn't order again. Definitely would go back read more

The crispy buttermilk chicken was AMAZING! Served with some bitterly delicious mashed potatoes, but the Brussels sprouts needed some help. The ants here was nice and the drinks were good too read more

Group Therapy - CRISPY BUTTERMILK-DIPPED CHICKEN BREAST - Wine Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

The location and space is great. I love the look of the hotel and restaurant. The pool area was great to grab a drink too. To start I had cheese bread which was just a flat bread so we were very confused on what we received. It was okay, not what I was hoping for. The whipped feta dip was really good! There were peppers I've never had before which was a nice treat. For dinner I had the fish tacos and this is where it went downhill. After one taco, I felt sick to my stomach. Turns out I had food poisoning that lasted from Wednesday night to Saturday night. I also had a bite of the crispy buttermilk chicken and that was delicious but it's hard for me to want to go back there after how sick I got. For drinks, I had the guava paloma and it was refreshing but hard for me to want to pay $16 for a drink there. read more

First time there for Sunday Brunch. Absolutely beautiful place. Loved the vibe both inside and out. Food however was mediocre. Cinnamon roll was stale and not warmed. My French toast was undercooked and breakfast of eggs and bacon etc was cold. The server cleared the table while we were still eating which was very annoying. Never asked if we wanted hot coffee etc. I would however try it again for dinner. Always give a place 2 tries just because the place is so cool. read more

Ambiance was nice, the drinks were ordered as a group of 4, all determinedly were disgusting. When telling the waitress this, she immediately brought our check and scolded us about the drink choices criticizing our decision making based off what we told her we liked in drinks. I hate leaving bad reviews but I don't want anyone else to feel their money and time is wasted there. read more

I love hotel Zara - probably my favorite in Austin however their restaurant Group Therapy is not good. The cocktails sound good but do not taste good and the food is meh. We were a party of 6 and order 6 enters and 5 appetizers. Grilled peaches - below par Brussel sprouts - good Ahi Tuna - meh Calamari - good Lump crab and green tomatoes - good Wedge salad - meh Lobster roll - good Red fish - below par Sandwich wrap The only great thing was the fried chicken. Cocktails - permission to dance and new slang - yuck. Love fresh water melon and Mint but way over done. Keep it simple Very pretty atmosphere but they need to revamp the recipes (cocktails and food) or hire a new chef. Sorry read more

Not a huge menu and servers not as attentive as I would have hoped given than it was not very busy. The food we did get was good! Recommend the chicken sandwich and the fries. read more

We went on a Monday night and were the only ones there. The restaurant is on the 7th floor of hotel ZaZa. We enjoyed the ambiance and the waitress was very knowledgeable and provided great reservations. I had the poke bowl that was very filling and my fiancé had the honey chicken breast that was very good and I highly recommend. Make sure to try the lamb lollipops as well. All were great choices and recommend by our waitress. read more
