Amazing service, outstanding atmosphere and the view is breathtaking. Our server, Elisha, was amazing and very attentive. We only went for drinks but ordered appetizers to go with it. I would truly recommend this spot for anyone that just wants to relax and enjoy the company of friends and family. The music was a little loud which made it hard for me to hear my family sitting across from me, but I’m also older so don’t pay me any mind on that 🤣. As my daughter said, it could just be time for he...

The music was a little loud which made it hard for me to hear my family sitting across from me, but I’m also older so don’t pay me any mind on that 🤣. As my daughter said, it could just be time for hearing aids😩. My children and husband enjoy everything as well. Thank you for an amazing visit. My next trip to Austin, I will definitely be stopping by again!

Oh my god... If Meghan is not the best waitress I have come across on my entire tour of America... She was so sweet, and even looked out for me when a random guy started hitting on me, and honestly, she was so attentive , sweet , and friendly. I felt at home despite being so far away from home. Meghan, you honestly made this whole experience par excellence. So attentive ,so caring , and thank you again... You made this feel like such a a safe and welcoming space. Legends !

A beautiful roof-top experience. I had to take a star because my daughter's shrimp skewers were a little over cooked, but the rest...perfect! Note: At the time of our visit, the external elevator (pictured) was inoperable. You must enter via the Marriott lobby and take their elevator.

Zanibar Is a 10/10 experience. They have the ambiance that you for looking for intimacy or with a group. The aesthetic set up is very pleasing to the eye. They are located at the perfect spot downtown as you can see the lady bird lake and also see the busy skyline of Downtown Austin. The servers were amazing. Steve helped us a-lot with celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday. They have a great selection of unique drinks and also a solid selection for food as well.

Such a great spot! The open-air vibe with all the greenery is beautiful, and the seating is really comfy. We loved the tropical cocktails. The poke bowls were fresh, flavorful, and the portions were just right. Shoutout to our server Dee… she was so sweet and made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back!
