    Disappointing experience, from the ambience to the food. The interior and food were not worthy of the price point. Poorly decorated dining room. Nothing special or indicative of a fine dining experience. Steak quality was great but cook was poor. We asked for medium rare and got a medium well steak with virtually no pink. Steak had no crust, but that was really owing to open flame cooking vs broiler. Didn’t send the overcooked steak back because that would have been incredibly wasteful. Mushrooms were so salty they were almost inedible, and even the Cesar salad was a let down. Smoked oysters and the complimentary s’mores were the only highlights of the night. What a frustrating way to spend $300, especially on what was supposed to be a special night — my partner’s birthday.

    Very, very excellent food and service. When a group of ladies laughed real loud, the sound reverberated off the floors and ceiling. But it was SO GREAT getting to see the chefs meticulously create masterpieces. And the server was perfect.

    They made our anniversary special. The crispy octopus was phenomenal, and the red fish was cooked to perfection. The detail that went into explaining each dish made us curious to try more. Thank you!

    We had not realised that Garrison was situated in the Fairmont Hotel. This meant that you could really have been in any smart, corporate hotel in the world. There was not much of the distinctive flavour of Austin. That said, the service was absolutely first class.
