About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Fancy
Offering a bat's-eye-view of Lady Bird Lake and the downtown skyline, Geraldine's is named after the famed guinea fowl that once roamed Rainey Street. Respect for Austin's history and culture seeps into every part of the restaurant, from the local ingredients featured in our Chef's contemporary menu to the nightly concert lineup-because there is no Austin without live music. Take shelter from the Texas sun at our adjacent rooftop lounge, complete with private cabanas and outdoor seating.

    Very fun jazz brunch. Restaurant is very cool and the food is very good. The plus was listening to some very cool jazz during our meal. Definitely worth checking out.

    Server seemed confused most of the time. Took 20 mins to bring simple bottle of champagne, which served kept asking about. Confused by wanting glasses of orange juice. Orders were questioned multiple times about why did not want a sauce. Hair in an egg dish, french toast was mush. Just not good. Expensive, a hassle and poor food. Hair in the eggs got us 15 off the bill. Thanks

    All of the food and cocktails were amazing and the ambience/decor was absolutely incredible! We are so lucky we found Geraldine’s for a 21st birthday brunch. If you valet, make sure to ask the host(ess) for the code which reduces the cost significantly.

    Our first visit to Geraldine’s was just delightful. The food, service and ambience were great and the music - lil Mad Rad whom we’d come to hear - fabulous. It would’ve been a five star experience except that when we went to get our car in the Quincy parking garage, our car was booted. Even though we thought we had paid. The garage has poor cell service and apparently the payment process didn’t complete. So that cost us $200 to get the boot removed and ended the evening on a sour note. I know this isn’t Geraldine’s fault but perhaps the management could contact Public Parking to try to try to prevent this from happening in future. It is part of the overall customer experience. Their # is 844 236 2011. We are appealing the charge with them but rather doubt we’ll be successful.

    Been a long time since being out I was in love with every bite. Huge portions for a typical New American cuisine place. Everything was packed with deep yet bright flavor and paced well to allow us to enjoy and savor. Skeleton staff, but that's most places these days, and yet they are on the ball, perfectly attentive, and gracious. We sat outside to watch the sunset before dinner - there are a few restaurant seats out there. Otherwise, the seating is spacious and uncrowded.

    I love how they have FREE VALET PARKING. But you can’t get your car request if you don’t leave a tip which is not bad at all because these guys are quick and traffic is smooth infront of the hotel. And to think this is downtown. Very good service with the Valet! Restaurant experience was good. From the host to our server. It’s quite a wait but very understandable it’s the weekend + the guest from the hotel eats here too. The food came out hot so no complains at all. Taste: I like my food, my husband loved his. My 8 years old loved her ranch and chicken fingers (They’re not serving fries with it but they make an exception for us) appreciate it so much, my 1 year old loved her seasonal fruit served chilled so another 🫶🏻 on that. Ambiance: Was very chill. It’s where we start our Sunday and I didn’t regret coming here. Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Service was very slow and the food didn’t all come out together. The food was very delicious!
