Garrison at the Fairmont Hotel exceeds expectations. The food delivers , the flavor profile of Texas BBQ delivered as a fine dining experience. The wood burning cooking really takes everything up a notch . The setting is hip & the service impeccable.?❤️

We didn’t realize that this place was as fancy as it turned out to be when we descended upon them with our tennis shoes and our 2 year old toddler! The restaurant staff appeared un phased by us, which we very much appreciated! Was nice to have a great dinner, we don’t get that as much as we used to with our little kiddo.The food was fantastic! Everything we ate was delicious and different. Would highly recommend the tator tots side, and I had the lamb entree, which was amazing.

First visit but most likely not our last. Enjoyed the meal, food from start to finish and personable friendly server. Ambiance was nice, just romantic enough.

Might be the best food I've experienced in Austin. Everything was carefully prepared down to the smallest detail. The staff was very knowledgeable about the dishes and helped us combine them with nice drinks. Jasper, who took care of us, was nice and friendly, and afterwards the manager, Chris, came and found out all the details of our day and chatted with us about the foods we tasted. I thank them so much for making our day go so well.

The staff and each of their attention to detail completely made my meal. J.R. Our waiter made my partner and I feel the experience of being shown the process of each note infused into each dish. Truly one of the best meals I’ve had.

Hands down the best food I've ever eaten. Combinations of flavors that were mind blowing. Pricey, but I will 100% be back.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly for sure, but be prepared to take a misbehaving child out as to not ruin others' experience.

I can't believe it took us so long to check out the Garrison! What a beautiful experience with impeccable service. From the moment we walked in, through the moment we walked out, we felt more than welcomed and taken care of. Snaps to Chris, Ayana, and the Chef. Oysters stole the show, melting in our mouths as an appetizer, while the Souffle wrapped up the show, also melting in our mouths.

We really enjoyed the valentines tasting menus. Garrison never disappoints with the food, and it is probably one of the most romantic restaurant setting in Austin. We will definitely be back.
This dinner ticked all the boxes for a lovely evening. Server was engaging and knowledgeable, room was beautiful with low noise level, food was delicious, and price matched the quality and creativity of all the dishes.

Warm, professional and informative servers and staff. Attractive menu options creatively and expertly prepared and presented. Talented chef using freshest ingredients with great attention to detail. Wonderful dining experience.

The shef has put his work into the menu so that the dishes complemented each other.We had pierogis as a starter (tasty; they also threw me into my childhood a bit) followed by great texas redfish and pikanha accompanied with tatortots and broccoli. Everything was exceptionally well cooked.Desserts are a form of art. Apple tart and sweet potato cake are in the pictures.As for the drinks, the cocktail list is a bit too boring, I believe. That said, spirits are of very high quality.

In general this is one of the better mid-tier fine dining experiences in Austin. The restaurant interior feels a bit like a TV sound stage, but the food and service are always exquisite! I think I’ve tried everything on the menu and have never been disappointed!
