    Great service from valet to dessert station. Excellent selection of savories with nice twists to salmon and chicken. Excellent lamb and beef! Professional table service!! All present, including a few sweet dogs, were happy! Well done!

    A beautiful venue both inside and outside. During this season there are an amazing amount of roses in arrangements on display. The culinary team and wait staff are superb. Don’t overlook the Elgin sausage. Old-timers from the 1930’s will tell you that Elgin sausage is “the” smoked sausage of Texas. And they are right! Ciclo served it exactly on-point with a snap to the casing and the tender smoked sausage inside. Brilliant!
    CicloResponded on April 14, 2025
    Daryl, thank you so much for this glowing review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the beauty of the season’s roses and had such a memorable dining experience at Ciclo. We completely agree—Elgin sausage is a true Texas classic, and our culinary team takes great pride in preparing it just right. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with our chefs and service team. Hope to welcome you back soon for more standout bites and views!

    Delicious experience with exceptional service! We enjoyed a beautiful view of the backyard and beautifully decorated patio of the Four Seasons with the Colorado River in the background. Our server was perfectly attentive and finished dishes were whisked away immediately. Highly recommend the popover bread, tuna taco appetizer, the short ribs, and the mariscos. All were delicious and good portions. We didn’t need extra sides nor dessert. Every part of the meal was delightful and so were the photo ops outside before sunset. Loved it!

    Letty, thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had such a delightful experience with us, from the attentive service to the scenic views and each thoughtfully prepared dish. The bread and tuna tacos are some of our favorites, too! We're so glad you were able to enjoy the patio ambiance and capture a few golden hour moments before sunset. We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable visit soon!

    Beautiful location with attentive staff. When they didn’t have an outside table we were disappointed but not their fault reserved. But it made our day when a table came available and they moved us in time for the sunset!

    Matt, thank you for your kind words! We're delighted that our team could make your experience even more special by finding you the perfect spot just in time for sunset. We appreciate your visit and hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable moments!

    Very nice ambiance but took an hour for us to get our food after we ordered. The chicken was good but expected a bit more for the price.
