    Sheraton Hotel at the Capitol, here for a convention, bombings all around us meant we stayed right at or around the hotel. It was necessary and easy to eat here at least once a day. The lunch buffet $15 is sandwich, soup and salad that changes daily. Food has been excellent, light, and tasty, and reasonably priced every time at $10 to $25 on average.There is a standard limited menu available along with the buffet that includes burger, veggie burger, pulled pork, smoked turkey, and various salads. The bar is adjacent and handles drinks and overflow patrons. They had gluten free toast on hand, and the chef went out and bought gluten free bums once he had a gluten free request. Flatbreads are no longer on the menu, but the chef did a special request and made one for my husband anyway. Excellent restaurant! Excellent staff!

    Cauliflower steak

    Classic hotel restaurant food. Man, I wanted to like this so much more than I did. After seeing a few dynamite veg options, I was sold. Service- meh. I was sitting at the bar and there were about seven other people sitting there as well. Not a lot. It was about 6:30p and we were the only people in the joint. I was expecting service to be on fire due to the lack of patrons, expect I kept getting overlooked. Maybe it was because I was reading a book, but you should still check on me and realize when I'm trying to flag you down or making eye contact with you that I'm ready to order. I sat down, and was greeted and given only a bar menu. I asked for the full menu and never was given it - so I looked it up on my phone. Four other people got served and asked how they were doing, but not me. Finally when someone was filling a beer I stopped the bartender and asked about ciders and her response as she was walking away was "has no one helped you yet" correct. I placed my order for beverage and food and it all came out at the same time. Again, very odd. I ate about half my plate and no one asked how it was, if I wanted anything else or anything in between. Needless to say, I was highly underwhelmed and not impressed. I ordered the cauliflower steak with mixed veggies and there was far too much balsamic based sauce on the plate for it to be fully edible. This was basically half a head of cauliflower not cut and arranged on the plate. It wasn't even grilled or had that steak vibe to it. After finally catching down another bartender to cash me out, I promptly left and won't be coming back.

    Stayed at the Sheraton, Austin and this restaurant was at the bottom level. The breakfast buffet was pretty good. For lunch my friend and I had Caesar salad and shrimp tacos. I traded out the corn tortillas for flour ones and it was very delicious. Yo engage the flavor skirt the line and ask for a side of salsa and chipotle aioli.

    First time in Austin and this place knows how to set the tone. The atmosphere at this restaurant is amazing and it is attached to the hotel which is also very nice. I went with the fish tacos which was amazing flavor and it was so good i had to order another two lol. If your traveling to Austin i defiantly recommend staying at this hotel and dinning at this bar.

    The food is good enough, but the prices are higher than most hotel bars. Very pricey for basics, and limited menu in the mornings. It's convenient to the Sheraton, but that's its biggest perk. Nice bartenders.

    This is the room service Guacamole I just ordered. You cannot convince me someone didn't help themselves to it. Disgusting!!!!

    Great service. Had an issue with the salad but they took care of it professionally. Yardbird sandwich was awesome.

    Tucked away in a building across from Popeye's, this charming little restaurant doesn't have a wide…read morevariety to choose from--but what they offer is pretty special and definitely worth a visit. I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk). Give them a shot, and thank the ladies in the kitchen.

    I personally don't eat breakfast tacos usually, but the breakfast tacos here are delicious. Out on…read morea whim, happen to drive by and saw this place. Decided to come in and the cashier greeted us and was really nice and patient because of questions with the menu. The Taco Bueno is what I had ordered and requested no potato. Sat down and after a few seconds, chips & salsa was delivered. Then after a few minutes, the food came. Quick service for sure and the food, AMAZING. Anyone reading this, try this place out and if u like it, come back! Cuz we are for sure =D
