    Salmon entree

    The Tradition is an American restaurant that opened a few months ago. My friend took me there for a bday a week ago and we had apps in the rooftop bar followed by dinner at the Tradition (floor 1). Parking was easy via the Hyatt hotel's valet. The restaurant was empty except for one four-top, which was seated directly adjacent to us. (Two twenty something girls celebrating their birthday with their moms by going to the Tradition for dinner followed by a trip to Slick Dick's (!!!). We split the wedge salad but I could swear it was served with Caesar dressing instead of Ranch. Is that possible? The menu is similar to a stereotypical hotel bar, which it is, in that they specialize in nothing and offer something for everyone: sandwiches, pasta, bbq, seafood, hamburgers, salads, etc. We both ordered the salmon, which was cooked perfectly and served on top of a slightly bready and bland crab cake, which was served on top of whipped mashed potatoes, and served with a side of Béarnaise and asparagus. We enjoyed the side of Brussel sprouts that we split. The cheesecake was good but the taste and texture was more like flan. Service was exceptional.

    The Austin 3 Egger with delicious crispy Tuscan potatoes.

    I enjoyed an incredible breakfast. I ordered the Austin 3 Egger with sourdough bread. It was delicious especially the side of crispy breakfast potatoes with Tuscan seasoning! Service was very attentive and Cindy was fabulous. Also, the Green Juice was perfect. Lovely, sunny space with huge floor to windows that bring in the cityscape while dining. Great restaurant!

    Eggs Benedict and espresso macchiato.

    While the food was excellent - the Benedict was made to perfection (as sauce didn't overwhelm the dish) the service was amazing. Cindy was super attentive (even while having multiple tables) and so helpful. Also, love the large windows looking out to Austin streets...

    I have never been to this establishment so this review is solely on customer service. For the opening they were hosting a giveaway to both restaurants on IG. I was in talks with someone through their Instagram as I had been the winner of the giveaway. After asking for next steps, all my messages have just been read and never replied to. I have also sent communication through their website and have yet to receive a response.

    The customer service was very hospitable. My spouse didn't like his food and they brought him…read moreanother entree on the house. The staff were super friendly Rachel and Esme were great.

    RE: Business owner information General Manager…read more Business Manager Jul 17, 2026 Hi Paul, Thank you for your detailed feedback. While we're glad you joined us, I'm sorry to hear your breakfast experience didn't meet expectations. We'll be reviewing your comments with our culinary team to improve consistency. We appreciate you giving us a try and hope to provide a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Wes Brown It's great to receive a response from the business manager regarding our experience at their restaurant, but all four us thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. We had absolutely no complaints regarding our dining experience. Caroline is affiliated with the Marriott Element and Aloft hotels and that, I believe, where the affiliation ends. I try to avoid hotel eateries but I've had great dining experiences at hotels like the JW Marriott in Austin. We, four, stopped by on a Sunday AM for breakfast and we had a great time. They do have brunch cocktails available and their bloody Mary's were deemed excellent with just the right amount of spice. My bloody Maria was on point and we all got our Sunday Funday started. Breakfast was wonderful. Our eggs arrived cooked perfectly. The pepper bacon and real potato sides were off the charts delicious. They also offer a few TexMex breakfast options and Plus one was raving about her Huevos Rancheros plate. Service was excellent even though they became busy our server was very attentive. Pro tip: Sat and Sun AMs if you arrive early you can easily score a table.

    PHENOMENAL FOOD! I was scared that everything would be bland and tasteless when I saw the gluten…read morefree, dairy free etc., but NOPE! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING we ordered was fresh, delicious, light, yet filling. I got the Social Butterfly drink which had butterfly pea powder in it to make it purple. It was as delicious as it was pretty. All the cocktails sounded amazing, I can't wait to go back and try them all. For starters we got the Guacamole, Brussel Sprouts and Crispy Macha Potatoes. Each of these were executed to perfection. The guacamole was fresh, topped with pomegranate seeds and well seasoned. The chips that came with it were light, crispy and it was gone in a flash! The Brussel Sprouts were cooked perfectly...tender and flavorful...not greasy...literally the best I've ever had. The Crispy Macha potatoes were next level!!! I have no idea how they make them, but they were SOOOOOO GOOD!!! I got the Waygu Sirloin as my main course and my friends got the Coconut Curry Squash. I enjoyed my steak and my friends liked their dish as well. We also shared the Roasted Beet Salad, which was fresh and tasty. Overall, can't wait to go back! 10 out of 10!!!

    I wanted to like this restaurant, but they made it hard to do. We started off with the guacamole…read more The pomegranate seeds on top were a nice touch, but man, this was flavorless. It was painfully boring. We had our 6-year-old, who is head of the Picky Eaters Society, so we ordered bread with butter. This 6-year-old, who eats bread on the daily, took one bite and wouldn't eat any more. We even get gluten-free bread regularly, and he eats it. The bread was fine, but don't expect flavor. By some miracle, they even made butter tasteless. I considered calling the Vatican to see if this was some holy, divine miracle, but my wife suggested maybe the main course would be better. We settled on the pesto pasta with chicken added for an additional fee. The pasta was good. Great texture, good flavor, and the combination of ingredients was good, but it's nothing original. It's pesto pasta. It's a classic. I appreciate the pomegranate seeds on the guacamole because it's original, it's clever, and it's different. We also ordered a special soda drink for our son, and it had a small black bug on top. I had them take it back and replace it. I kind of expected a "Listen, we apologize for the bug. Here's half off dinner," or something, but nothing. Service was fine, and it's a decent atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to sit and talk it's a great place, but if you want food or a drink go somewhere else.
