Overall I enjoy going to Caroline and have been a few times but was let down a little by the Valentine’s experience. We booked weeks in advance excited about the pre-fixe menu but when we got there they were out of the short rib option my partner intended on getting. They didn’t sub another meat option in but pointed out we could get something from the regular menu. We decided he would do that and I would get the salmon option on the pre-fixe at least. We were then told both of us had to get the pre-fixe or none could. Given that they had run out of one of the reasons we booked this restaurant in the first place, we we’re surprised they would insist on us both buying it when my partner couldn’t get what he wanted. We both went with other dishes and wished we had booked somewhere else for the occasion.

We were seated basically in the coffee shop in the back of the restaurant looking at the hotel elevators so didn’t even feel like a restaurant. Hamburger was very good but the salmon was almost like it was in a soup. Service was ok but not great. Server was responsive and friendly but backed up. One example is that when asking for salt, I was handed an empty salt shaker.

When in Austin, dinner at Caroline it is: excellent food - in particular we enjoyed the crab & artichoke dip. Great service: just the right level of attention, food arrived quickly. Good choice of drinks, including Texan wine.
