Best Restaurants for Groups in West Austin / Westlake

The atmosphere, service and food were all top notch. You cannot miss out on the short rib hummus 🤤

My goodness, this place is incredible! From the really interesting mural on the wall (it's made from pieces of Mexican billboards and touched up regularly from the artist, a local from Austin), to the food, to the tequila, to the very informed and chill waiter - nothing fell short. Here are a few tips I want to share to make your experience top notch. 1.) Get the chicken tacos. You get three and they are small and perfectly Devine with homemade corn tortillas. We had them as an appetizer. It's a must do!! 2.) If you are into tequila, take a look at the epic list and discuss with your wait staff. The staff get educated regularly on different ones. I asked our guy to chose one for me - it was fully women owned and made. Omg - Devine! I sipped it over ice for dessert. Was so smooth and a perfect end to my meal. 3.) We don't like super spicy food so we opted for the chicken dish and ordered green beans as the side. You cut the chicken and use tortillas to made little tacos. We clearly missed that if it was written on the menu. There's fresh cilantro and onion which you can fold in. We also accidentally got the corn dish which we happily accepted and added to the tacos. The big differentiator here was the waiter. He properly informed us of every dish we inquired about. We avoided a few spicy land mines as a result and landed the "perfectly selected food plane"! We were recommended this place by a friend who lived in Austin. Take the locals recommendation! Yum yum yum!

Chelsea was a phenomenal server. Delicious food, great recommendations for our choices, made my friend visiting from Cali for her birthday feel really special ( thank you for no awkward singing). Counter seats were great to see the action in the kitchen but the chairs were a bit uncomfortable and had quite a cold draft blowing down. Fully understood it’s needed to keep the kitchen staff feeling cool in front of those hot stoves so will just make sure to reserve a standard table next time. Will definitely be back!

Very pretty place, including the hotel itself. Spent some time at the bar downstairs and then up at Geraldine’s. It seemed almost quiet in comparison, which was great for dinner and then around 9 o’clock. The band came on and it was extremely loud but if I was coming to see the band that would’ve been great. If I had started my dinner 10 minutes before they went on I don’t think we would’ve been able to talk that much. But depending on what you’re wanting to do either experience would be great. Just good to know what you’re getting into. It worked out perfect for us as we had a long three hour dinner and then caught at the beginning of the band before moving on. Good times will definitely come back.

the staff was beyond helpful and sweet. everything was so good and my friends enjoyed this spot. thank ya'll!
