I'm staying at The Loren Hotel and tried this restaurant on the 8th floor last night for dinner and…read morewas so impressed that I returned for breakfast- the egg frittata with lemon ricotta was perfection. Let me start by saying that I was so impressed with my dinner that I had to ask a server if it was a Michelin star rated restaurant. I highly recommend the half chicken infused with basil, which was a beautiful flavor. The broccolini was my favorite, with the grilled lemony parmesan topping it was a showstopper. Even the french fries, which I was not supposed to eat, were tasty with their own house dip.. I did have a slight bit of food envy though- my friend ordered the filet, which she said was one of the best she's ever had. I'll let you know after I return tonight.!

I'll start by saying our waitress was so so kind and the restaurant was really nice, the view was…read morecool, the Pinot noir was really good, and the hotel was beautiful. However, the food leaves quite a bit to be desired. We got the peach caprese with focaccia dish and the focaccia had grill marks on it that tasted like a gas grill. It left a really weird Smokey, propane like taste. It would've been better just fresh out of the oven without the grill marks that seemed to just be for aesthetics. We also got the rigatoni and the pasta sauce was so so thin, like water. It didn't stick to the pasta at all and it wasn't spicy, it was just covered in red pepper flake which they were a bit too heavy handed with. We also got the XO chicken and it was very light on sauce which it kind of needed because it was a bit dry. Overall pretty disappointing and we left hungry because we didn't want to try anything else after striking out three times. Sadly wouldn't recommend as there are other places in Austin that are truly great.

Great friendly service. There were six of us, two had filet + mole, two had lobster rolls (with…read moremole) and two had something i forget. All was great. We also had a bunch of starters, ceviche, guacamole, and a few other things. All fantastic. Washed it down with quality cocktails which we kept coming. No need to switch to beer or wine. ITs in the Driskill (Littleton ) building but not part of the hotel. Pricey, but given location, thats understandable and the quality did match the prices. It's listed in the Michelin guide, but no star (yet?)

We spent around $600 with tip and fees for 5 (mixed grill, two apps, two drinks each); and while the food was delicious the meats were luke warm not piping hot, our server while very friendly was not the best at giving suggestions (basically she said everything is good lol) and wasn't able to split the check 2/3 and 1/3 instead of 50/50 ("... I don't know how to do that"), and the cocktails while tasty didn't really feel special enough to be $21-25 each. It was a very enjoyable experience I just don't know that it lived up to the price tag. For that price I'm looking for exceptional not just very good. That being said the food was delicious! Pricey but pretty good portions. The server said the mixed grill was good for around 4 people, but with two apps it was actually a little too much food for the 5 of us. Mixed grill ($220): -Rosewood Wagyu Strip and Lamb Chops: tie between these two for the best dish; they were both juicy and tender and the sauces were delicious. Not served piping hot but they were so good I didn't really mind. -Harissa Marinated Beef Tenderloin: great flavor- a tad dry. -Spiced Lamb Kefta: also dry, I liked it best with the yogurt sauce. -Red Pepper Chicken Thigh: delicious, one of my fav kabobs. -Herb & Garlic Shrimp: tasty and not overcooked -Charred King Trumpet mushroom: loved the veggie option! they mushrooms were substantial and the sauce was great. -Crispy Shallot Hummus: very good- loved the crispy shallots in particular! -Manti Dumplings: top app- I would 100% order this again the dumplings were delicious and the sauce/yogurt on top of them was the best, we wiped up every drop with the pitas! -The pita bread was hot, fresh, and delicious and our service kept on offering more, so I don't know if they've changed their policy but my experience was not the same as reviews that said only one pita per person. We refused extra pitas 3 times I think! Cocktails- everything we tried was quite good, but again there wasn't the pizaz or just 'blown away by the flavor' to feel that the crazy price was totally justified. We tried: Spanish G&T (very refreshing- don't chew on the juniper berries lol), Banana Bread Old Fashioned (pretty good even for someone who doesn't much like whiskey!), Bonfire on a Beach (fun, smokey, love the harissa on the side), Peach Martini (teensy bit sweet for me but good). The manager stopped by a few times to check on us and our server was very attentive. She did give us good service its just for the high price I would expect some more detailed suggestions on drinks, being able to split the check other than 50/50 (or at least ask someone instead of just saying 'I don't know how'). It was friendly and enthusiastic service just not 'wow this truly is fine dining' service. Outside of the restaurant, parking is a bit of a pain but that is normal for down town. We parked at the Laz garage half a block away- $8 for 2 hrs instead of the $27 for valet.

We came to Amaya for dinner but ended up leaving after only having drinks and not by choice…read more After placing our food order, we waited and waited for over 90 minutes as our server disappeared for the evening. Eventually, we found out our server had never actually entered our order into the system. There was no communication, no updates, and no effort to make the situation right. After spending so much time waiting, we decided to leave without ever getting dinner. To make matters worse, the mocktails were listed on the menu for $8, but we were charged $12 each on the bill. There was also a charge for a full glass of wine we never ordered. Whether it was a menu error or a user mistake, it's unacceptable. Between the nonexistent service and the pricing discrepancy, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had in Austin. Unfortunately, I can't recommend Amaya based on this experience.

Alright, you know what? 5 STARS. HELL YEAH…read more I've been to Skipjack more times than I can count, and it's one of those places I find myself craving often. Unfortunately, out of all the items I've tried, the Lobster Rolls isn't my favorite, but that's also because I lived in Maine. However, every other appetizer more than makes up for it. I can't get enough of this place and I can't stop showing my friends this gem. Their brunch happy hour seemed solid, advertising as "$1.50 oysters and bottomless mimosas for $20". However, upon checkout after 2 dozen oysters, they stated the $1.50 oysters were ONLY for Gulf Coast oysters...SO, instead of spending $36... I spent $96 on oysters alone... One thing I will never skip? The mimosas. They have tons of flavors, but the watermelon mimosa is my go-to-- refreshing, delightful and so easy to drink.

Dinner at Skipjack consistently hits the spot. My husband and I have returned several times to try…read moredifferent dishes, and we've generally had a satisfying experience. The clam chowder is a little different from the traditional version since it's thinner and less creamy, but it's still comforting, with a slightly smoky, bacon-forward flavour that my husband really enjoys. I also took a chance on the short rib stroganoff, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the meal. It was rich, hearty, and surprisingly addictive--I finished it much faster than expected. The blackened redfish was just okay. The fish itself was cooked well, but I personally didn't enjoy the sweeter flavour profile or the texture of the quinoa it was served over. Their oysters are usually fresh, though, and a glass of wine always pairs nicely with the meal. Overall, Skipjack is a reliable option for seafood and comforting dishes, even if not every item is a standout. We'd still happily return to revisit our favourites and try more of the menu.
