We stayed at the AT&T hotel and conference center this weekend for the Rod Stewart concert. Gabriel's Café was inside the hotel so we decided to eat there before going to the concert. We were greeted by a nice and friendly waitress who told us happy hour specials for our appetizer we decided to try the dip trio and the sweet potato tots. The dip trio came with chips, salsa, queso blanco (white queso), and guacamole. All were fresh and tasty. The tots and chipotle aioli were amazing. I ordered the beef fajitas quesadilla for my meal and it was good. I wish I would have asked for more white queso to dip it in though. I first ordered the Lady Bird Paloma, but it wasn't that good. I then ordered the Raspberry Rose Mule and it was very good! Definitely go for happy hour next time you're nearby! Yum!
We were at a conference and my husband's first day was LONG!! We decided to just go downstairs and try the restaurant. It was awesome!!! We split a chopped salad that was the best chopped salad I've ever had. I still think about it!! We split a burger and it too was delicious. Another patron who was alone ordered Nachos. They were so BIG all of us nearby were giggling at the size! However our last night there we ordered them with room service and we couldn't begin to finish them. They were great--such good flavors! But maybe offer a smaller size?? Overall Gabriel's was worth a drive but we just got to take the elevator! It was the best hotel restaurant I've ever eaten!
Located in the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center. Came for a drink before a night on the town. Service was prompt, friendly, and good pours for the price point. TVs are available and broadcast the games upon request. Didn't get a chance to dine in but looked like a decent place to grab dinner if staying at the hotel.
My friends and I always eat here after the Texas Football games. It is always very yummy. My favorite are the nachos. Service is sometimes slow, but I have only gone when it's been packed.
Would be 5 star but the place was freezing !! Wayyyyy too cold. A/C is great but this is ridiculous. Food was excellent ; well prepared hot and tasty. The falafel and 4 cheese grilled cheese were great. Waitress was attentive.. it was an off time so she had other tasks but did an ok job!
I got the salmon at this otherwise nondescript hotel restaurant. The broccolini preparation -- a red pepper romesco made with shallots, carrots, and agave nectar -- batted way, way out of the league of an average hotel restaurant. Shockingly good food, shockingly good preparation. Everyone gives restaurants five stars today. In this case, I really mean it. FIVE STARS.
This restaurant is located inside the ATT Hotel and Conference Center on the UT Campus, where we are at a conference. Came in here for happy hour and ended up having dinner. The drinks were good, but inconsistent between bartenders. Our server Frankie was gracious and nice. The atmosphere is casual, but they have some nice drinks on the menu. We all had nachos, which were huge. These can feed 2-3 people easily! We got 3 between 6 people and didn't even finish. We got beef, chicken and pulled pork. My favorite for sure was the pulled pork! The salsa was fresh and delicious, and the guacamole was creamy and flavorful. I think I tasted a hint of cilantro in the queso which was wonderful. We had a nice experience here. The manager Oscar rounded out our night so that our server could go home, and he was absolutely fabulous. Took really great care of us!
Really good lunch on a nice patio with great service. I got the Achiote Chicken Sandwich with house chips. The chips were crisp and tasty, and the sandwich was a gooey mess of delicious. tender chicken, with fresh toppings. My wife got the Superfood Salad and added shrimp. It was a large bowl of fresh greens, with lots of tender shrimp. Service was excellent. Somewhat limited menu, but I had multiple items that looked good to me to choose from.
