There is no brunch just bar food. They make you go through all these hoops for reservations and it was completely dead. Only 3 ppl were there. It wasn’t worth me driving from up north.
Good evening, My name is Katie I am the General Manager of Zanzibar. I wanted to reach out and personally apologize that our menu selections didn't meet your expectations. We have recently reduced our reservation capacity to allow for more walk-ins now that our hotel is open as well. My apologies this was not communicated to you when you booked please let me know if there is anything I can do to make this right. Thank you for sharing your feedback and again my deepest apologies.
Very poor service. Was told table was ready ten minutes beforehand and then we had to wait for another 20 minutes still. When we got up there tables were obviously open. Server came by once and didn’t return for over 25 minutes. As a Marriott platinum life member this is the worst restaurant I’ve been to in a Marriott.
Zanzibar is the roof top bar and small plate restaurant at the top of the new downtown Austin Marriott. Just a cool vibe, featuring great food, drink and music. Outdoor but covered in case of rain, and fantastic views of downtown skyline.

Fantastic setting. Bartenders and doorman were distinctly unfriendly. Hostess was very nice. We would try it again.
Michael, My name is Katie I am the General Manager of Zanzibar. I wanted to reach out and personally apologize for your experience with my team on 4/27.

Please let me know if you have any additional feedback or details from your visit and thank you so much for your time.
Loved the vibe at Zanzibar. The rooftop was covered thankfully because it happened to be raining the night we went. Service was good, drinks were so cute & tasty. I would recommend going for drinks/apps, not a dinner place though. The boys left hungry lol

Had a great Sunday afternoon at Zanzibar. Not a big menu and it is pricey, but the place is so great. Our server was awesome and very friendly. It’s a great location downtown and seven floors up. Definitely recommend for a tiki bar downtown!

Was sat in a dark area. When asked to move to the sun they said the tables were reserved. We asked if we were supposed to request the sun they said no. The server was good but the hostesses were awful and rude.

Came for happy hour - SUPER cute spot. The aesthetic is spot on and the service impeccable. Drinks are lots of fun and not overly sweet, definitely IG worthy with the various tiki vessels. Great deals on the $7 HH bites, they won’t blow you away but weren’t bad either. Could absolutely get drunk here very easily so be careful 😂. Will return!!

I like the ambiance of the place.
However, don’t come hungry & expect to pay $12+ for drinks that are filled with ice & might be 4oz total per pour.
Service was fine until a larger party came. Our party of 4 was forgotten about, it seemed.

Our waitress was very nice. Took awhile before she came to our table. We stated on the reservation it was for a birthday. It was never acknowledged. Drinks were okay but pricy. Food menu is very limited but what we had was good.
Good evening, My name is Katie I am the General Manager of Zanzibar. I just wanted to reach out and aplogize that my team did not acknowledge your special occasion during your visit with us. I will share your comment with my team so we can ensure we correct this moving forward and appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback.
The atmosphere is everything! You’re surrounded by lush plants with a view of downtown Austin. Their cocktails are adorable with a true tropical theme, and their bar food allows for a nice snack or two. I wouldn’t recommend coming on an empty stomach if you’re eating out on a budget, but what we did eat was great! I recommend this for a late night drink out.

Zanzibar did not disappoint. The cocktails are just as delicious as they look and all of the waitstaff was super friendly. Our server was awesome and very attentive and informative as it was our first time. I was shocked how GOOD the food was. We were really there more for the atmosphere, drinks and views but the food is super good.

Ashely is an outstanding server. She was on it the entire time- with all of her tables. The rooftop is great however it can get a bit loud if you’re trying to connect with someone special.
-Feels like summer cocktail is epic.
-There’s something off about the Grey Goose Vodka here.

This was a nice place for a cocktail before dinner. We enjoyed the view of the city and the pleasant decor. The cocktail menu was decent. The food was not great, however.
