Texture — Restaurant in Austin

I was staying at the Doubletree in Austin that houses Texture, and I was lucky enough to have breakfast included with my room so taking advantage of this was a no brainer.

Texture offers a breakfast buffet with minimal options, plus made to order eggs provided by the serving staff.

The coffee tasted great which was a nice surprise since often at hotel restaurants the coffee is just a step or 2 above browned water. It was nice to have a cup which was noticeably bold to help kickstart my day.

The buffet itself wasn’t so great…everything was served in trays heated buffet trays which had kind of a steamed effect on the food that worked for some things, but wasn’t really what you wanted for biscuits and potatoes. (All potential crispiness gone for these two items.)

The fruit (mostly melon) also didn’t look very good. Luckily a fresh green apple was available.

I ordered an omelet made with egg whites, spinach, onions and swiss cheese. They forgot the cheese and it was fairly sad looking omelet. (Cooking egg whites is tricky and a lot of cooks don’t quite have it down) but it tasted fine.

They brought a to-go cup in case I wanted to take coffee with me which was thoughtful and nice. (Although I didn’t love the food, the staff on hand were VERY nice.)

I also checked out Texture for a potential late night snack…there was an item on the printed menu in the rooms which they no longer carried…the staff told me they had updated their menu in the restaurant…There were limited vegetarian options and it would have been nice if the menus in the rooms were not out of date.

In general, Texture served the need of providing food so i could eat in the morning…though if I had the time I would definitely check out any other local breakfast option for a better taste of Austin. (do you hear me...

They try to gaslight me that the parking card wasn't working because my room key was not working, bathroom trash can went missing out of nowhere without any obvious room service being done, the elevators are super slow, the third elevator skips floor 2 completely, there's no way to get to the garage from the main floor... There is but it's impossible to find and there's no map or signage that leads to it so you're forced to leave the place anyways unless you happen to be right next to the door that leads out to it

Otherwise, youll have to go around outside through the garage and up another elevator again. The decorum doesn't make sense in the actual bedrooms, the lobby is well decorated, and the restaurant food was actually a good portion for the price that I paid. Staff were friendly and accommodating, but housekeeping miss a long hair in the shower, and while I was there for an event a public bathroom ran out of toilet paper in multiple stalls

It's okay if you're only going to stay for a day or two but don't plan to stay more than 3 days or the daily tediousness will get to you. Definitely make sure all the elevators are fixed before planning a large...

We had our wedding dinner here for our family of 14 plus kids. The servers were absolutely incredible, constantly refilling drinks and making sure we were comfortable.

We had drinks and apps in the courtyard and the staff made moving dinner inside flawlessly. Everyone enjoyed their dishes- the fish and chips being the most popular.

When it was time to cut our small wedding cake, the staff supplied us with cake plates and serving utensils.

The manager of the restaurant gave us such an exclusive feeling experience, everyone left dinner so happy.

The interior is beautiful and modern, great for some wedding shots but they also allowed us to put up a few decorations which was appreciated greatly.

We really couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate our wedding...
