   The menu and food were excellent. Not buffet but to order. Strangely empty for 10:30 on a Sunday for brunch, but that was just fine with us. The deck is supposed to be nice, but it was a bit chilly and windy that morning, so I can't really speak to it. Definitely going back soon as there are a bunch of other items on the menu that I'd like to try.

   Have been staying in the hotel and dining here for over 10 years. This time it seemed lost in time; we tried it on four different occasions. If it was not in the hotel and therefore convenient we would most likely not frequent it.

   The Ambience was great we were in the private room we had a special menu we had chef created beet salad (not pictured) and a tomato bique soup (not pictured) as well. The desert was a little dry but edible. The Food was absolutely delicious and the candle lit set up with the rose made the evening special. There was music playing in the other room but didn't over shadow the mood at all. We will definitely be back for more .

   Having a meal at a hotel is always chancy but that's what life is about. The Knotty Deck was an almost bullseye. Waitress was very good. Drinks were good, the bar offered a vesper (the original Bond martini) but I felt like I caught them off guard when I ordered it. I know that's a pet peeve of some bartenders, i.e. people ordering exotic drinks, but don't offer a drink you feel uptight about. FYI It's not that difficult a drink to make Menu is nice, good choices but here's the rub food was served tepid and not to my Valentine's request way to make a guy good bad. I had the feeling that if we had salad and burger things would have been good. But I question the kitchens abilities to produce the fine dining choices on offer. If you're offering a pricey special Valentine's meal you have to execute.

   Without a doubt best food we've had since moving to the Austin area. We happened to come in on a night that was quite slow, which probably helped, but the server was fantastic, clearly experienced. We wanted to enjoy a drink before ordering our meal, and he told us that when we picked up our menus that was his signal we were ready. I loved that he did that, because I hate having servers hovering around constantly or taking too long to come back. The food was amazing! We had the fried brie appetizer, burger with fries, and pasta. I definitely recommend all three. We will be back!

   Their Mac & cheese is one of the best. REALLY. Their fish tacos are one of the worst Their Garden pasta is very good Server was grouchy, but manager made up for the lousiest stale shell fish tacos we had, plus one of the mac & cheese dishes we ordered (3) was to be with no bacon, instead all 3 were served with bacon.

   We arrived for our reservation, which was made a few days prior, and were anticipating a great meal outside on the deck. Instead, we were immediately told that their menu had been changed from what had been payed online when I made the reservation, the night before, due to an anima convention being hosted at the hotel. Now the menu was full of Mac and cheese and hot dogs. This was incredibly disappointing as we were hoping for an adult menu and not something my five year.old would eat.

    It was alright, but certainly didn't need reservations. It was disappointing to have TVs everywhere in a sports bar atmosphere when we expected a nice, upscale restaurant. The food was good and the service was as well, but we'll pick someplace else for that upscale dinner next time.

    The Knotty Deck and Bar sits in a gorgeous location. The outdoor patio was stunning. The hotel and restaurant looked very upscale. The food looked amazing but there wasn't anything special about the taste. I ordered Wildberry pancakes with a prickly pear margarita butter and the Chilaquiles. I would eat here for dinner if I was staying at the hotel, but would not go out of my way to visit this place or eat breakfast there again.

    This was a disappointing experience. We arrived on time and there was no hostess. The sign said Please be Seated, so we chose a table. We waited almost 10 minutes before anyone came near our table. Someone brought us water, but didn't say a word to us. Then we never saw another server again. After about 20 minutes, we left

    I would recommend this place for drinks and the view outside the patio. The food lacked flavor and did not taste fresh. We also came after a big group of people dining so they had a separate menu to accommodate the people dining in after that large party but still, the fish and brisket tacos tasted so bland and the flour tortilla was not fresh tasting anymore. It was $15 for 3 mini tacos with little cheese on top and pickled veggies. Servers were attentive though, that’s a plus! Oh, and the drinks were good.

    We made reservations for a Friday night at 7:15pm only to show up and there was a sign saying seat yourself. So we sat down and waited for the busboy to clean our table. After reviewing the skimpy menu we got up and left as it was obvious this was not a 4 star restaurant. This is a bar that serves food. Not a sit down restaurant you may want to take a date to on a Friday evening.

    I book a reservation to celebrate Father's Day with my husband and was eager to enjoy a restaurant that was rated as the top 20 Best Restaurants for breakfast. There were only two tables with guests in this large restaurant. The ambiance was excellent. But the Eggs Benedict was just average, nothing to write home about. Our coffee was $4 a cup which tasted like basic drip coffee. Overall, the food was average set to an incredible atmosphere lending itself to being quite pricey for the taste. Wouldn't repeat the experience, unfortunately.

    No one in the restaurant should have been a clue. Food was mediocre at best. My wife felt terrible upon leaving restaurant. We will NEVER do back there. Even service was poor, server almost forgot to bring water. For place being almost empty, service was slow.

    Went during Valentine's, and the food took forever to come out, however it was really good. This Time, the food came out quick, however it was just average in taste. So I guess it is hit or miss with this place .

    I was very underwhelmed. There wasn’t anyone but us doming for most of our visit and while our server was friendly, the service was lacking. We had a special occasion (graduation) that we had told them about in advance and there was no special set up or acknowledgement of the event. The food and menu was good and the atmosphere was nice.

    Came here on Mother's Day, and they weren't serving off the regular menu - buffet style instead. My wife and I paid $49 per person to basically eat a small plate of food with a small dessert. While we were seated promptly, it took over 10 minutes for a server to greet us. One of the waiters walked by us 4 separate times, and even though we were his table (as told by another waiter), he completely ignored us to pay attention to a larger group. Once we finally got a new waiter, who specifically said the other staff would have to deal with him taking over our table, we got some drinks and then barely saw him again. We finished our meals and had to bus our own plates from the table so we could get a small dessert. The service here was terrible and made what should have been a fun Mother's Day brunch a frustrating experience. We will never come back here.

    We came to Knotty bar for a late night dinner (11pm). There wasn’t anyone there greeting so we were a little confused at first considering we made a reservation but also understanding considering we were eating so late. The patio area is huge and really pretty - would def come back to have a drink for happy hour there. We ended up sitting at the bar. The drinks were good and the food was good too. Overall good experience.

    I would not go back for Easter brunch. I didn’t care for the atmosphere in the back room. It was dated and the decor was lacking. For 45.00 per person, the food was not great. There were a few tasty dishes, but for the most part it was nothing spectacular.
