    My 17th birthday with my friends was amazing. We had a great spot on the terrace, the food was delicious and our server was friendly and attentive. We took a lot of pictures at different spots too. We went well over our 2 hour slot (3 hours), and the staff set us up at two poolside cabanas for the cake cutting. My friends and I had a great time!

    WOW. Like dining in a tropical jungle. View of the Austin's ever changing skyline spectacular from 7th floor of Marriotts. Totally open to give you the best view no matter where you sat. There for lunch, Duck rolls and chicken sandwich delicious. Going for dinner at night. Kylee, our waitress said whole different vibe.

    We never were served. We ended up leaving after 30 minutes of trying to get service. Very disappointing. We’ve loved coming here before.
