The food and drinks were excellent! Elias, the manager, even came by and made sure my party was doing well which was super nice! The ambience is great and the greenery makes everything feel so peaceful. I will definitely be returning!

The patio area is absolutely beautiful and so comfortable. Our waitress was friendly and amazing going over the menu with us. When we were undecided on drinks, she brought us two samples to decide. The sushi tacos and ceviche were some of the best I’ve had. Overall a great place with great service and food/drinks.

What a great atmosphere for cocktails and socializing. The drinks themselves were wonderful; reasonably priced for what you get and nicely presented with accoutrements. The staff was also very friendly. If you go to a place like this in Austin you’d get a lot of pretentiousness from staff. If you’ve been, you know what I’m talking about. The food menu was a little limited and portions left a lot to be desired considering the cost (imagine six Ritz crackers with a spoonful of crab salad on each and paying $20). Regardless, we would definitely go back, more for drinks than dinning.

Food was super good, good service and comfortable outdoor shaded seating. It’s a hotel, so the prices are high relative to quantity of food served. Micro portions. Good for snacking while having a cocktail.

Drinks are great, good was also pretty good. Service staff needs some refining and training and no one seems to understand what to do with valet…. Whether or not they validate for eating at the restaurant. Everyone we talked to told us a different story. The valet guy working alone, almost started to argue with us about it.
Anaqua Garden BarResponded on July 25, 2024
Thank you for your response. I will make sure we address the valet and service concerns immediately Hope to host you agaain soon!
