Goodall's 1900 Rio Grande Street, Austin, TX 78705

"After a long wait for service (there were only 2 other tables occupied) and a great deal of miscommunication between the kitchen and the server, I was served an exquisite crabmeat Eggs Benedict with skillet fingerling potatoes! The latte was also very good and the fresh fruit my dining partner had was lovely."

"We had an amazing Thanksgiving meal yesterday at Goodall! Highly recommend this restaurant. The food, service, staff and atmosphere were top notch. The Chef came out and introduced himself as well. We will be back to this gorgeous and delicious restaurant soon!!"

"We actually came for The Parlor but it wasn't open yet. The nice lady at the front desk directed us to Goodall's instead. Maddi was our server and she was extremely bubbly and welcoming. The three of us each ordered a cocktail. One of my friends didn't like her drink so Maddi took it off the tab and had something else made. She was very professional and empathetic, and even had a bartender come out and inspect the drink as well as explain what the recipe was supposed to be. The ingredient my friend didn't like in her cocktail was the egg white foam. I bartended for 7 years myself, and, I will admit that the foam smelled fishy and tasted off. The egg white is also not listed as one of the ingredients on the menu. My only worry is that someone with an egg allergy will order the drink and think that it's aquafaba or a milk foam on top. It most certainly has to be listed. And, if it's an optional ingredient in the cocktail then the server must be notified so that patrons can be given the option. 4 stars because of the professional manner in which they handled the mishap, Maddi being especially wonderful, and the whole ambience of the space. My cocktail was amazing and so was my other friend's. The replacement drink also made our friend happy so it was pleasant all around."

"First time, will definitely be back. Attached to a beautiful hotel, this tiny gem is worth the find. Creative dishes full of flavor, small intimate dinning area, trendy and vintage vibe."

"This area of the city doesn't have much to offer, in my opinion. The character of Goodall's in a historic venue & the shrimp & grits I saw on the menu (although it was not on the menu when we got there) is the reason I landed on Goodall's for our lunch choice. It was a bit confusing, it isn't set like your typical restaurant dining room, be it in a hotel or otherwise. The service was excellent! The food was also great. A nice sized chicken breast in a sandwich without being dry; a brioche bun (why don't more places adopt this as standard); and my mushroom omlette decided to be adventurous and went beyond simple white or portobello shrooms! I will say the bill was a bit high for a Tuesday brunch and no one, regardless of setting should charge $4 for a cup of drip coffee."
