Best Restaurants with Private Rooms in Downtown

We loved Poeta! First time here, and everything we got was fantastic!

The staff had read my request to be seated against a wall rather than in the middle of the restaurant due to my hearing problems. That was very appreciated. After we were seated, there was some issue with the waitstaff assignment, and we were completely ignored for over 10 minutes. Kyle, one of the hosts, noticed the issue and effectively waited our table for the evening. While our assigned waitress came by and apologized, she never provided any service. Kyle continued to see to our needs, and I handed him our tip in cash as we left. The food is great, the noise level in the main part of the downstairs restaurant is pretty loud. But, we were able to have a great evening thanks to their consideration of my hearing. This was my second visit, and we'll be back. Give Kyle a raise. He's observant, smart, and service oriented. BTW, we were there before attending a show at the Paramount, and they offer a discount to ticket holders! Check them out. We'll be back.

Love this place! Beautiful interior, creative cocktails, and delicious food. The peppers were my favorite dish, but everything we had was wonderful. Also quiet for an Austin restaurant.

Cool Handroll spot. Service was great and knowledgeable about their food options.

Absolutely loved trying Prèlude for the first time! From our initial arrival and interaction with the sweet hostess, to our conversations with the bartenders/mixologists who patiently answered all our questions, to the stunning interior design and ambiance… this was a stand-out high end cocktail experience and we look forward to returning!
