We stayed at Hotel Ella for three nights in October 2026 and had breakfast at Goodall's each morning. The food was great and we took a shine to server Tiqua who not only was our expert on the food and the hotel but our ambassador to all things Austin, including the best BBQ places, what to do, and what to avoid. She made our stay special and I hope to see her again in the future.
Tiqua was awesome! Great service
Our experience at Goodall's during Tea service was exceptional! Our waitress was attentive, professional and courteous. She offered to take pictures and engaged in wonderful conversation. The sandwiches, biscuits, desserts, tea and champagne were fresh, delicious and bubbly. We had a beautiful time.

Goodall's Kitchen is a restaurant that offers a variety of experiences and food options. The atmosphere is often described as lovely and romantic, especially in a historic building that adds an elegant touch. The staff generally receive praise for being kind, attentive, and welcoming, with some staff members going above and beyond to make special occasions memorable. For example, during a daughter's graduation celebration, staff made space for decorations and ensured the event was special.
The menu includes dishes like red beans and rice, which receive positive comments, and desserts that are highly recommended. However, some meals, such as the $50 steak, are considered fatty and overpriced, with long wait times of up to 45 minutes even when the restaurant is empty. Service can sometimes be slow and unorganized, and responses to menu issues may be dismissive. High tea experiences have been mixed; one reviewer found it overpriced and unrefined, while another enjoyed the glass of champagne and the elegant setting, despite the average quality of the food.
Accessibility is available, but parking and valet service may not always be convenient. Overall, Goodall's Kitchen seems best suited for special occasions and casual visits rather than quick meals or high tea, with many guests enjoying the ambiance and friendly staff despite some service and price concerns.
