    Miso sweet potatoes
    Angela V.

    We went here for our anniversary. The staff were super friendly and attentive. Loved the atmosphere the noise level was perfect for having a conversation without having to yell. We booked a reservation and were seated immediately. Food wise we started off with the fried salt and pepper lobster, red snapper crudo, steak sashimi and the rolls. We loved all of our appetizers! The snapper was in an agua chili sauce and was very light and refreshing! The steak sashimi was fantastically cooked and was well flavored with the mushrooms. Definitely both would be ordered again. The rolls were fresh and buttery! For mains we got the special which was a double cut pork chop on top of crispy potatoes with a chili sauce. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned and a huge portion. I ordered the scallops and they were lovely the sauce and fresh citrus really brings all the flavors together.

    The Kimberly is PRISTINE Lots of restaurants in Austin have amazing food but the Kimberly is just above and beyond. The veal with cacio e pepe was the juiciest possibly softer veal I've ever had. My boyfriend got the wagyu. We shared the mouselline potatoes for the table. As for cocktails, the fire horse was tasted so bomb we had 3. Even if you want to drink something that wasn't on the menu, their bartender whipped us up a pineapple cocktail on the spot that was delicious. Everything was amazing from start to finish.

    An amazing restaurant with great service as soon as you walk in. Our table wasn't ready yet so they gave us a glass of champagne while we waited. Once we sat down, Zach greeted us and went over the menu and gave recommendations. During our meal the manager, Michelle, came by and she so was sweet and made sure our night was going well. The scallops were delicious but the star for me were the potatoes. I can't wait to come back and explore the rest of the menu.

    We came here post happy hour just for desserts because their dessert menu online looked absolutely amazing. They were all pretty decent, but none of them were incredibly mind blowing. We ordered the coconut vanilla cake, which was more like a pie with a meringue on top, the pineapple upside down cake was really really good and we also ordered the Lindt chocolate mousse cake, which absolutely did not disappoint. I probably wouldn't get the coconut vanilla cake again, but the other two were a hit.

    We made an impromptu stop for appetizers and drinks. We were not dressed up and weren't sure if they would seat us, but we were greeted at the door with no issues. We opted to sit at the bar. Surprisingly, it wasn't too busy on a Friday night. The restaurant is upscale with beautiful decor. The bar staff was so nice and professional. I started with the Upper East Side which is a vodka based cocktail with cucumber that was right up my alley. It was so refreshing and wasn't overly tart. The mint complimented the flavor well. Since we were only there for appetizers, I didn't browse much of the menu. My date raved about the Tempura Lobster Tails. I don't really care for shellfish, but I will occasionally eat lobster so I decided to give it a try. We also ordered the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake. The Tempura Lobster Tails were phenomenal! I took one bite and was blown away at how tasty it was! The breading was flaky and seasoned and the lobster wasn't overly chewy. The microgreens that topped the lobster tails were so good. The Crab Cake was tasty, but I preferred the Tempura Lobster Tails. The sauce that accompanied the dish was good and I enjoyed the panko bread crumbs. The Kimberly is one of those restaurants that I immediately raved about to friends and family after visiting because we had a wonderful time!

    The food is savory and elevated at this place, I had the wagyu with the potatoes and it was very rich and flavorful. For a drink I had the Dangerous woman and it was delicious, aesthetically pleasing and effective hehe. We had Andrew as a server and he was kind and attentive. The atmosphere here is very chic and elegant, dim indirect lighting and they have a wine cellar as well, plus a sitting bar area in the middle. I'd come back

    We were so excited to try the Kimberly because love all of John Carver's other restaurants and heard nothing but great things about this one too! We decided to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday here. We ordered the crab cake, beef Wellington, veal parm, caesar salad, and coconut cake for dessert. The crab cake was definitely the star of the show for me! It was probably one of the best crab cakes I've ever had. The beef Wellington wasn't a personal favorite because I believe it had truffle or mushroom on it and the flavor was too strong for me but I also don't like mushrooms. The veal parm was delicious and came with a side of cacio e Pepe which is one of my favorite dishes. Our server was very friendly and talkative which we always appreciate! I will say the restaurant is very expensive so be prepared to drop a pretty penny.

    Absolutely incredible experience at The Kimberly! From the moment we sat down, the service was impeccable our waitress Summer was an absolute gem and made the entire night feel so special. The cocktails were phenomenal (highly recommend the Love & Lust SO delicious ), and every dish exceeded expectations. The charred steak sashimi was unforgettable, the Caesar salad was perfectly done, and the wood roasted dry-aged duck breast & confit of leg and thigh was hands-down one of the best dishes we've had in Austin. Amazing atmosphere, amazing food, and even better service. Can't wait to come back

    Match-A cocktail

    Beautiful interior, amazingly attentive service and one of the most memorable meals I've ever had. We got there early for our reservation and they gave us complimentary champagne which was very sweet. We were sat right at our reservation start time. The cocktails were delicious. I had the matcha and pineapple flavored drink that was super well balanced and creamy with the addition of licor 43 horchata flavored. Very good! We got the beef tartare, French green beans, mousseline potatoes, the beef wellington, and the scallops. Everything we ate had huge flavors. The beef wellington is very rich and a big portion. The steak is super tender and the mushroom sauce is very tasty. The French green beans are the best green beans I've ever had, honestly I don't like even hate green beans but holy moly... incredible. The potatoes have shaved white truffle and little pieces of black forest ham in it. Smooth and creamy, strong truffle flavor and a nice touch of salt with the ham. They scallops have a nice bit of citrus that really had a lot of balance to the dish. All in all, everything was like the best version of the thing we've ever had. Even the bread for the beef tartare is insanely good. We finished with the coconut cake that is topped with strawberry and passion fruit sauces. It's a tart and creamy delight with little crunchy coconut pieces and a perfectly smooth whipped topping. Such a lovely way to end dinner. We will definitely be back. We just need to finish the J.Carter trilogy and go to the J.Carver oyster and steak house. Red Ash is also amazing if you haven't been!

    Exceptional- the best word to describe our entire dining experience at The Kimberly. Somewhat at a loss for words for this review it was just THAT good. We will absolutely be returning. The cocktails were unique, the restaurant was packed but not noisy, and our waiter was above and beyond with service and knowledge on the menu.

    Parker House Rolls
    Rebecca P.

    The Kimberly was amazing. The tuna tartare may be the best I've ever had. The pineapple upside down cake melts in your mouth. The Park House Rolls are a MUST. This is a cute date spot with very good mood lighting. They have a great cocktail list and even stuff their own Blue Cheese olives. (YUM). The service was amazing and I would suggest this spot to anyone.

    Beautiful Interior
    Wendi K.

    A classy establishment in downtown Austin. The prices are on par with fine dining. We sat down to a beautiful card with my partner's name on it in handwritten gold calligraphy. Then we started with a few drinks - I had the Don't Carrot All ($18) - it was unique but I didn't finish it. The aged cheddar parker house rolls ($12) and mousselline potatoes ($22) were incredibly decadent and rich. The rolls come baked with a layer of cheese, and each bite is buttery carb heaven. The mouselline potatoes come dripping in fatty bacon-like ham pieces and Greyere sauce. I was full after one roll and a few bites of the potatoes. BF enjoyed the 10 oz center cut sirloin ($62), commenting that it was perfectly cooked. I wish I got the name of our server because she was marvelous. She was wearing a gorgeous sparkly tiara too! The interior is extremely classy.

    Beef Wellington
    Sammi K.

    We visited Austin for the first time and had heard great things about Kimberly, so we decided to give it a try. The hostess and our waiter were both warm and welcoming. We were seated right away at a cozy corner table by the window. Our waiter walked us through the drink and food menu in detail and even asked what brought us here, which made the experience feel more personal and engaging. We ordered the oysters, bone marrow, brussels sprout salad, and Beef Wellington. Everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and nicely-presented. Both my friend and I genuinely enjoyed each dish. They also surprised my friend with a complimentary sorbet for her birthday and a handwritten card, how thoughtful! Highly recommend!

The drinks took soooo long, we got ONE round in, and were asked to leave the table before our second round arrived. They had no issues when taking our second round order while we were seated, but we were asked to leave the table immediately after. This round also took forever and we drank it standing, crowded, in everyone's way. I was embarrassed as it was my birthday, and I was taking a group of 7 other people - new to Austin - here to check out what was one of my favorite spots. I was bragging about it and chose it over other spots on their list. They hated it. I'm disappointed. Our server was great to us and apologetic about the service bar.

There is a parking lot that you can get validation for 2 hrs free, but after that you will be charged. Overall though, it's totally worth a visit! The bartenders are really friendly, the bathrooms are immaculate, and the inside of the place is really cute -- think kinda pink vintage? There are some tables, and big comfy couches around a coffee table in the middle of the bar which is where we sat. I had one of their happy hour cocktails that was similar to a creamy espresso martini, and they are 50% off on happy hour days/times! My friend got one of their floral cocktails which wasn't discounted but I LOVED it personally. I also got a strawberry matcha drink (non alcoholic) that was a little too sweet in my opinion; I finished it but wouldn't get it again. Overall though the cocktails and vibe in there are worth a visit alone! When it's not too hot, the area outside has little mini-chandeliers and is also very vibey.

I usually only go to coffee shops to work, but today, went on a coffee date with my dog instead. There's ground floor parking in the garage that's complimentary for two hours. I kept it simple with a vanilla latte. I noticed they had tacos at the bottom of the food menu, but at $13.25 for two tacos + an a la carte item, I decided to pass. Maybe my expectations were too high (as usual) because it's inside a hotel, but I was hoping for the kind of warm hospitality hotels are known for, but instead, the service felt a bit cold. It didn't exactly make me want to spend more money there. While sitting on the patio, I spotted the food truck outside and thought, "PERFECT. A food truck HAS to be cheaper. Take that Simona's!" I walked up to the window... only to find out it wasn't actually a separate food truck. It was just the pickup window. To order? I had to go back inside to Simona's and place my order with the delightful staff... I ended up ordering two Blue Migas tacos, and honestly, they were just... good, but nothing memorable. They tasted like your average breakfast tacos that you can find all over Austin for less. Despite loving how relaxing the outdoor patio is with its lucious greenery surrounding you and the beautiful French chairs and cafe tables, it's located right next to the hotel pool. If you're visiting on a summer afternoon, expect some extra noise with pool guests. If you're looking for a quiet coffee or a place to work, I'd recommend coming early in the morning instead.

The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.
