We ate here multiple times with our Titanium cards, the service varied with some good and some not as good. Same with the food, overcooked one day and good the next. I don’t have photos of the overcooked meals, but it was the potatoes and eggs. Smoothies were great!
We had Christmas brunch at Caroline’s today, and it was truly such a special experience. From the moment we walked in, the entire place felt festive, welcoming, and full of holiday spirit. The food and drinks were absolutely perfect—delicious mimosas and eggs Benedict done just right—but what truly made our morning unforgettable was the service. Our server, Memory, was phenomenal. She was so warm, friendly, and genuinely kind, and she made us feel cared for from start to finish. Her energy and attentiveness added so much joy to our Christmas morning and honestly elevated the entire experience. We were also incredibly impressed with the manager and the whole staff who chose to sacrifice their Christmas morning so people like us could have a place to gather, relax, and feel festive. That generosity did not go unnoticed. Everything—from the atmosphere to the food to the impeccable service—was amazing, but Memory’s outstanding service is what truly stood out and made this experience so memorable. We’re so grateful and will absolutely be back.
Everything about Caroline was absolutely perfect! ✨ This is a cozy, intimate spot that delivers an impressive dining experience with outstanding food and service. The space is small but thoughtfully designed, creating a welcoming and polished atmosphere. Downstairs features a well-organized restaurant with a formal yet comfortable vibe 🍽️, while upstairs offers a fun, energetic party-style ambiance 🎉—great for different moods in one location. The food truly tasted like a 5-star experience, both in flavor and presentation. Every dish arrived beautifully plated and full of bold, well-balanced flavors 😍. Highlights included the spicy deviled eggs 🌶️, roasted street corn, and the oven-baked chicken wings, which were perfectly cooked. The crab and artichoke dip was rich and comforting. For mains, the chicken schnitzel was crispy and flavorful, the wild mushroom bolognese was earthy and satisfying 🍄, and the green chili chicken enchiladas had just the right amount of heat. The standout was the lobster bucatini 🦞, which was creamy, indulgent, and absolutely delicious. Tried Goey butter cake(taste is good but little over baked- got stuck around the cup) and Tres leches ice cream(decent but not exceptional) Service was attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the visit 👏. Pros: ✔️ Exceptional food quality ✔️ Beautiful presentation ✔️ Great service ✔️ Fun upstairs vibe with a refined downstairs dining area Cons: ➖ Bit pricy, Limited space, so reservations are recommended Highly recommend Caroline for a memorable dining experience in Austin! 🌟
The food is fresh and delicious! Aaron was very attentive and friendly. For our first time in Austin this was a refreshing brunch experience. I recommend the Texas Mocha it’s a spicy chocolatey kick to a cold brew.
The food was great. We started with the burrata and it was amazing. We got the chicken schnitzel which was really good. The bistro steak sandwich was phenomenal—tender, juicy, and super filling. We ended with a tres leches that was the perfect dessert. Our server Aron was awesome 👍
