Trace

With food so local it could run for City Council and an upscale vibe, Trace throws back to an era when the hotel restaurant was a destination spot. The perfect pre-show to a night at Moody Theater . Read more

Awesome brunch with DJ I Wanna Be Her. Best gluten-free burger in town ! Dog-friendly outside dining . Great cocktail .

Great outdoor seating . Try sashimi with lemon sauce as an ap. Drunken Doughnuts with butterscotch sauce are kind of amazing as dessert . Their lattes are good, too.

Great place to surprise your better half with sweets. If you aren't in the mood for dinner the pastry menu is worth the trip.

Terrific Bar Snack that is bursting with 60's, 70's & 80's Texas childhood memories. Pimento Cheese in a jar. Splits well with four a bit much for 2.

B.E.L.T Sandwich and mimosas are a must!!! Try the grapefruit mimosa w/rosé!!

Great option for a relaxed and tasty lunch in downtown. Their expert forager finds the best local ingredients . Also great for lunch with clients.

Local food close to the convention center , perfect for those of you on expense accounts. Get candied Texas pecans with your Golden Malted Waffles or the Crispy Texas Shrimp salad at lunch .

Trace is one of our favorites. But don't take our word for it, Janina O'Leary, executive pastry chef , is a semifinalist for Rising Star Chef of the Year.

Check the menu for the white balsamic glazed brussel sprouts w/ prosciutto chips . They might be hidden in the Sides section, but they're gold. Pure gold.

If you leave this place without having the PBnJ then you might as well of not gone at all! This was the most exciting thing to hit my taste buds since I honestly can't remember. The chef is a genius

Solid breakfast with good portions, if not a bit pricey . Migas were very cheesy

Try the drunken doughnuts : they're served with tequila chile fudge sauce, bourbon dulce de leche and vodka whipped cream . Nom nom nom . . .

Texas market migas were fresh and delicious! Totally recommend :)

They have happy hour everyday. Great chardonnay at half price during those times.

Good Eggs Benedict with breakfast potatoes . Just enough food, not too much.

Great breakfast in a nice outdoor patio setting.

Jalapeño & cucumber lemonade is so good!

Dive into some delicious food on Earth Day. 5% of your total bill goes to support eco-friendly causes.

$5 carafes of mimosas ... you can’t beat that!

Swanky . Nice patio . Out of the wind and direct sun, but still open to the street scene.

First mimosa , poinsettia, or bloody mary appears to be free at brunch . FTW!

A good Austin spot for happy hour .

Braised lamb shoulder forever. Cauliflower was also surprisingly tasty.

Home of the cucumber jalapeño vodka lemonade . So refreshing!

New York steak is delicious but heaters are not working.

Excellent waffles and egg white omelet .

Have Micah as a server! He rocks!

Mac and Cheese and chile green beans .

Try the Dark Chocolate Pot De Creme - Decadent!

Ask for an escort to the resto at the front door. Much easier to find that way.

Ask for the special. The kanye west drink. It's a hurricane Austin style.

Ask for Lana @ the Trace bar . She's the best!

Skip the shrimp and grits . Bland and comes with just 2 shrimp . And its $16! Pancakes are good though.

Happy hour all day on Monday

fantastic wait staff with michael and kitty

Dreary breakfast .

Overpriced food-- go for happy hour on the outdoor patio .

Great cocktails , unique menu, terribly slow service.

Amador's the best!

Thanksgiving dinner : too dry.
