Editorial Review for La Vista at the Hyatt Regency on Town Lake – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
It's located at the Hyatt Regency on Town Lake, one of Austin's finest hotels. This second-floor atrium restaurant has a casual yet upscale vibe. It has a breakfast buffet in the morning and a full American and Mexican menu throughout the day and night. During good weather, many dine on the lakeside patio. It bills itself as the "Fajita Capital of Texas," so it's no surprise what ranks as the star menu item.

Back to La Vista after many years. Fajitas we below avg. Chicken had no flavor. Beef was just OK. Meat was not cooked with bell peppers and onion. They were added on top. Pico was not fresh and guacamole was likely food service special. Tortillas were soft and mushy - needed a few secs on a grill. Stay home and buy the HEB ready to cook or pre-cooked. They are better.

Pros: Atmosphere, View

Cons: Food, Service

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Located across from downtown, the La Vista Restaurant showcases the city's best features and provides the perfect spot for gazing out on to Town Lake. The menu has recently been redone, offering amazing new dishes such as lobster ravioli and blackened catfish. They also have a low carb menu featuring a spicy asian chicken salad in a Thai Peanut dressing and hot smoked salmon quesadilla YUM! As always, they serve "Austin's Best Fajitas" - a sizzling half pound of beef, chicken. To match, try one of their mega margaritas - frozen or on the rocks - but bring two straws or you'll be drinking for days. If you have children, you can sit next to Camp Hyatt, a special play area just for them. Or for a more romantic evening, make reservations and snag a spot next to the window, right on the lake. You couldn't have a better atmosphere!

Pros: Reasonably priced, Will validate parking, Not a long wait
