Nice place with bad and over priced food. They served my Benedict’s eggs dry.

Appetizer and drinks were good, but main course which for us was steak was tough and the flavor was not that great. Loved the service and atmosphere. Would probably just go back for drinks.
Thank you for taking the time to review your dining experience with us, we appreciate the feedback. While I'm pleased to hear you enjoy your drinks and apps, I'm sorry to see that we fell short with your steak and that we weren't able to make the situation right for you while you were in on Friday.

Refer? our server was great. We were glad to have a place open on Christmas Eve. Hubs wagu burger was excellent. Unfortunately, my chicken schnitzel fell far short. Portion was plentiful, but was topped with a rather tasteless Artisinsal lettuce “dump”. Chicken was well cooked just zero seasonings and no “sauce”-super dry. Ate less than half.. read the reviews and order accordingly.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback from your experience with us, Leslie.

Thank you for stopping in to spend Christmas Eve with us! Great to hear we were able to create a safe and memorable experience for you and your guests! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Kevin Pollack General Manager
Completely adequate job in the demanding millennial downtown brunch scene. Dishes were well above average, blood orange mimosas were on point, and service was well above expected for the venue and time of day. To elaborate on that, when my eggs Benedict plate came out with what seemed to be “hard poached” eggs on top, not only did the server and the kitchen remedy the situation before my wife was barely a quarter through her plate (10 out of 10 for the enchiladas by the way) but then they declined to charge me for my meal at all. That is pride and professionalism. Well done, Caroline!
Thank you for recognizing Caroline as a downtown brunch destination! We strive to create a memorable experience for each and every one of our guests and will do whatever it takes to ensure any and all issues are corrected in a timely manner as not to impede your dining experience. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again soon! Enjoy the holiday season! Kevin Pollack General Manager
We are frequent diners at Caroline’s. The food is consistently good. The Wagyu beef burger that they added to the menu a few months ago is excellent. The staff is always friendly and generally attentive.
GrandmaJL - Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate your loyalty and choosing to dine with us time and time again. Great to hear we consistently deliver on creating a memorable experience for you! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Kevin Pollack General Manager
Me and my sister went around 8pm and we waited 15 minutes for water when the place was not busy at all we felt uncomfortable the whole night and everyone made us feel so unwelcome. The food was not terrible but definitely not worth the price I wouldn’t waste my time

Service was great. Our server was attentive and friendly. But jeez the food is BAD!! We had the corn dip and it was meh. It needed salt. Both entrees were terrible. The steak was greasy and the fish entree didn’t specify that it was fried. Will not be back. It’s way too overpriced for the food quality.

Wonderful atmosphere, food, and service. We will definitely be back soon! I went for brunch for the first time last weekend—They have both indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice to have especially right now. I would say it’s more of a dinner/date vibe but breakfast was delicious and I have no complaints whatsoever. Great restaurant :)

This is my first time dining at Caroline after enjoying the bar several times before. Everything was delicious, especially the Bombs Away, one of my favorite cocktails in town. I ordered the wild mushroom bolognese, it was delicious. All of my dining companions thoroughly enjoyed their meals as well.
Gina - Thank you for the kind words! Great to hear you enjoyed your our Wild Mushroom Bolognese and Bombs Away! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with other diners! We'll see you next time you're in the downtown area! Kevin Pollack General Manager

Food is kind of a dressed up frozen joke. Nice atmosphere. Service is typically slow.

The atmosphere was actually very nice in the restaurant. It was a slower night which allowed for me and my date to have a nice, calm and quiet conversation. We went upstairs afterwards and it was nice up there as well. It was hot and humid but we had a great time, nonetheless.

Overall nice experience. Had a limited menu due to COVID, but enjoyed it nonetheless. Food was good. Ambience was nice and Upstairs at Caroline is lovely for an after meal drink.
Brian - Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us! Glad to see we were able to create a memorable and relaxing experience for you. We look forward to our next visit together! Kevin Pollack Assistant General Manager
They should specify on their website that they are operating on a reduced menu. The food choices available were very scarce. Nice atmosphere but terrible menu.
I wanted to reach out to personally apologize for falling short of expectations on your recent visit. Since your visit we have added back the Caroline classic dishes to round out our menu more evenly. I'm confident your next visit with us will be a much more memorable experience. Kevin Pollack Assistant General Manager
We were so excited about going somewhere we hadn't been. The appetizers were delicious so we had high hopes for our main course (chicken schnitzel) but were sorely disappointed as it was so bland.
Foodie - Thank you for trusting us to create a safe and memorable dining experience for you. I'd like to personally apologize for falling short of expectations on food quality. I've shared your feedback with our culinary team to ensure your experience remains an isolated incident moving forward. We look forward to our next visit together!

In Austin for work, so looked for a restaurant for solo dining. The atmosphere was great for this! It was loud, but that was perfect for pretending to eat with others. The beet carpaccio was amazing!!
Thank you for the great review and sharing you experience with others! Great to see you enjoyed that Caroline vibe! We look forward to serving you again soon! Kevin Pollack Assistant General Manager
The food was just okay. The space is well designed, aesthetically pleasing, and inviting. However, the cost was not indicative of the food quality.
Justin - Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with feedback. We do also offer happy hour from 3p-6p Monday through Friday with discounted food and drinks. We hope to see you again soon. Kevin Pollack Assistant General Manager
We had a wonderful time. Were greeted happily even though we were 30 minutes early for our reservation. They seated us quickly and were attentive. Thank you. Also were mindful of offering vegan options 😊
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us! Glad to see we were able to provide you with some great vegan options during your meal! We look forward to serving you again soon! Kevin Pollack Assistant General Manager
Quick bite with a corporate office coworker to discuss the Austin area. Great location, great food, good service and always busy. Loud enough to be considered a dull roar, not that I’m complaining. The seating was less than comfortable in the entryway, not my favorite spot in a restaurant but we made it work. I’ll go back, it’s a great spot with a good selection, why not!
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us! We appreciate the feedback and kind words regarding your service experience. We're always happy to get you to the most comfortable place preferred in the dining room or Coffeehouse area, please let our host/hostess know on your next visit! We look forward to serving you again soon! Kevin Pollack Assistant General Manager
