    A True Austin Gem! These guys delivered on every level—delicious meal (the brisket nachos and mac & cheese are must-tries), a fantastic selection of craft cocktails, and warm, attentive service. The outdoor patio is a hidden oasis with a cozy fire pit. Perfect spot for both relaxing dinners and group outings. Highly recommend!

    The Easter Brunch at the Knotty Deck on April 20, 2025 was the best!! There was no end to all the food options. Everything was delicious. The servers were so kind and management checked on our table. There were 4X6 framed pictures of bunnies and stuffed toy bunnies alongside the serving dishes. Surprisingly, in the lobby, there were two long cabinets that had viewing doors to take a peek at the live bunnies. I cannot brag enough about the experience. I have been spreading the word to my friends about the Knotty Deck and the Brunch served. Thank you for helping to create the nicest Easter. Sandy O

    Attended the Easter brunch and had a great time! The buffet was extensive and everything was fresh and delicious. Our kids loved the Easter egg hunt with prizes, the Easter Bunny, and real bunnies in the lobby. The general manager Rob Gillette was incredibly nice — we were impressed that he was there on Easter morning. Overall great experience. We will be back!

    The food was good. The service was good. It was quiet and not many people were dining even though the hotel was busy. There is an outside deck for al fresco dining, but we did not sit out there.

    As always it was a nice experience catching up with sara and having delicious cocktails. There was a big group in house, but service was still superb. You have someone very special working for you

    Service took too long. Not properly staffed. Leaving the sense of being ignored.
