Goodall's Kitchen

We actually came for The Parlor but it wasn't open yet. The nice lady at the front desk directed us to Goodall's instead. Maddi was our server and she was extremely bubbly and welcoming. The three of us each ordered a cocktail. One of my friends didn't like her drink so Maddi took it off the tab and had something else made. She was very professional and empathetic, and even had a bartender come out and inspect the drink as well as explain what the recipe was supposed to be. The ingredient my friend didn't like in her cocktail was the egg white foam. I bartended for 7 years myself, and, I will admit that the foam smelled fishy and tasted off. The egg white is also not listed as one of the ingredients on the menu. My only worry is that someone with an egg allergy will order the drink and think that it's aquafaba or a milk foam on top. It most certainly has to be listed. And, if it's an optional ingredient in the cocktail then the server must be notified so that patrons can be given the option. 4 stars because of the professional manner in which they handled the mishap, Maddi being especially wonderful, and the whole ambience of the space. My cocktail was amazing and so was my other friend's. The replacement drink also made our friend happy so it was pleasant all around.

I usually don't post reviews, but with my experience here I felt obligated to this time around. I've been here a few times for their tea service on the weekends and the service has always been great. This time around I went with my boyfriend for their valentines day experience, and let me tell you at first I was not very impressed. We had reservations and waited about an hour before we even got our first course of food. There was a massive table that slowed the entire kitchen down due to a shortage in staff. Normally, I would be pretty upset on having to wait that long but Richard our waiter and the entire wait staff made up for it in so many ways! I also understood, the shortage and told them not to worry but they still were so kind. They constantly checked up on us and apologized for the wait. Even, giving us a complimentary drink as well while we waited. Once our food came out everything followed pretty quickly. My main dish came out a little colder, temperature wise than I would've liked and they apologized again, and made me a new fresh dish to make up for it. Not only that, but they gave us a complimentary bottle of wine as well to take home, to make up for how long we had to wait for our valentines day dinner. Overall, I would highly recommend this place. It's such a cute, unique space and the food is soo good and everyone there is absolutely amazing. Thank you again, Goodalls team!

This is such a hidden gem in Austin! Beautiful interior decor and a small but curated menu. Great spot to enjoy a bit of a break from the bustle of the city. You can choose to dine in their dining room or out on the beautiful veranda/patio. There's also a large grassy front lawn that is a great spot for little ones to run off some energy post breakfast/brunch!
