Second Bar + Kitchen at East Austin Hotel

“Very good!!! I am VERY happy we decided to come at the earliest dinner time, 5pm. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves, and we needed that since we had our toddler with us for our anniversary dinner. This was started by an Iron Chef contestant (who lost against Bobby Flay, but it's ok!) and we picked it for the traditional anniversary gift of "Iron" haha! We looooved the pulled pork burrata appetizer! What a winner. I loved the brownie bites too, that were part of the three dessert bites sampler plate. My gnocchi was good/decent! I think it was a little more on the crispy side than I was expecting. Toddler liked the gnocchi and it's tomato sauce, and liked the fries even more. Husband thought it was a normal $20 burger :)”

“Great, healthy food with plenty of gluten-free and vegan options. Loved the atmosphere too We had the baked Brie, eggs Benedict, and turkey melt.”

“I love the atmosphere in this Second Bar + Kitchen! The dining room experience is relaxed and vibey, the staff are kind and accommodating. My partner and I have been Keto for a while now, and they are happy to help us pick things that are safe for us. My favorite has been their Ranchero Benedict, with greens instead of a biscuit. Depicted in this picture, is their hot matcha latte without sugar. It’s still delicious! I highly recommend this place.”

“Ordered the $44 steak ($67 Australian) and I could not chew it. It was tougher than shoe leather. $65 bucks in Australia would get a melt in the mouth score 7 or 8 Wagu beef steak. We are staying in the hotel and will be going elsewhere for all our meals.”

“The service and fries and baked Brie were amazing! The steak for $38… do not order it if you like steak. I love rare steak with fat, but half the fat you couldn’t even chew (I had to spit it out). And as much as I don’t mind a fatty steak, you can see in the photo (which was the photo before I started eating) how much fat vs meat there was. O.o All in all, if you are a steak lover, I wouldn’t recommend this steak. But definitely get the fries. Omg they were amazing (hence the 3 stars). Also, the bartender was super nice and friendly!”
