The Carillon - Austin

The food here looks fantastic! My coworkers have nothing but praise for this place. The buffet and salad selections are excellent, and the food is clean and recognizable. It's also just a short walk from the state.

**Starters:** - **Berkwood Farms Pork Belly ($14):** This dish presents a wonderful combination of flavors, from the refreshing Japanese cucumber to the sweet and tart pineapple butter, all complemented by the rich taste of the pork.

Rating: 4/5. - **Espresso Chocolate Tart ($9):** If you’re in the mood for something coffee-flavored, this tart is a solid choice, though I wished it had a slightly softer texture. Rating: 3.25/5. **Beverages:** - **Suntory’s 6 ($13):** A gin cocktail with raspberry that offers bright, bitter, and sweet notes. Rating: 3.5/5. - **The French Mule ($12):** A vodka cocktail mixed with lime, infused with hints of bubbly and a refreshing sour taste. Rating: 3.5/5. The three-course meal is a no-brainer, as ordering these dishes a la carte would cost $129 compared to just $90 for the meal. If you live nearby, it’s a great spot for a date or to celebrate a special occasion like graduation. While I preferred some dishes over others, everything was well done overall. I’d rate my experience at The Carillon a solid 3.5/5!

Wow, that might be the best meal I've ever had! The staff was amazing and went the extra mile, even having flowers on our table for my birthday. The food was outstanding! The culinary team deserves so much recognition—if you're thinking about going but haven't decided yet, just do it! You won't regret it. From the cheese and meat board to the Hamachi starter, and then the NY Strip and Texas lamb… I could rave about it for days! Hats off to this incredible team! I'll be dreaming about this meal forever!
