    Nice atmosphere but the food was terrible. Very Very salted , would compare it to Olive garden. The special lobster ravoli was so salted that you literally couldn’t eat it. Very disappointing. We definitely won’t be going back.

    They’re back! After a ‘not that good anymore’ interlude, the eggs Benedict are once again on my list of the best in Austin. Ciclo is expensive but worth it.

    I'm sad that I'm just now finding out about this beautiful restaurant and also that I was so in the moment of our dinner that I failed to take one photo of a dish. :) Our server, Dennis, was spectacular. We sat in a cute little table for two, the ambiance was romantic and quiet, and the small team light on the table was perfect for the experience. Each dish that came out was beautiful and intentional. We shared each dish and started with the Tuna Tartare and the Stone Fruit & Burrata Salad. Both came with grilled focaccia that was done perfectly. For our main course we shared the Bone-In Ribeye which was okay but if we had it to do all over again, we likely would have gone all in on the Tomahawk Steak that we witnessed getting served to a number of tables that evening (the jealousy ensued). We also had a side of the Pork Belly Mac and Cheese and I know it is not a light dish by any stretch but somehow they made it taste light. Definitely will be going back!!

    Morgan, thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us. We’re delighted you enjoyed your evening, from the ambiance to the thoughtfully prepared dishes. Dennis will be thrilled to know he helped make your visit memorable. We appreciate your feedback on the ribeye and hope to welcome you back soon so you can experience the Tomahawk Steak firsthand. It would be our pleasure to serve you again!

    Beautiful space with covered outside patio. I enjoyed the menu but was a little put off by the door blowing my menu off the table whenever the door opened. Overall, the service was prompt and good. From cocktails to apps to mains, everything was well prepared and tasty. I had the chicken and waffles (savory) and my sister had the pancakes. Delicious! Definitely try out this locale!

    Annette, thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the food, service, and our covered patio space. Chicken & waffles and pancakes are some of our favorites too. We appreciate your feedback about the door and will look into ways to improve that experience. We hope to welcome you back soon for another delicious meal!

    The food wasn’t as fancy as the photos and they put too much seasoning on the ribeye. Imagine that, seasoning on a ribeye that’s not simply salt and pepper.
    CicloResponded on 17 February 2025
    Frederick, we appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear the ribeye wasn’t quite to your taste. Our chefs take pride in crafting flavorful dishes, but we understand that seasoning preferences can vary. We’d love to have you back to try something else on the menu—we’re always happy to make adjustments to ensure you have the best experience possible!
