Editorial Review for TRIO at the Four Seasons Hotel Austin – by Joshua Hinsdale
In Short
Vivid reds, pinks and oranges dominate in this modern dining room that was reportedly inspired by the sunset. Subdued mahogany tables, natural wood floors and large fabric panels provide a balance to energetic colors. Located downstairs from the downtown hotel's main lobby, the windows look out over the outdoor terrace and the grassy hillside sloping down to the lake. Hotel guests and well-to-do Austinites dine on classic meals flavored with seasonal sides and local garnishes.

We went with great expectations, and left very disappointed. We made reservations for 18 people for a birthday gathering, and were provided with ONE waiter. We are a young group that enjoy a cocktail hour prior to dinner. The poor waiter could not keep up with the drink orders, much less the appetizers we ordered at the same time. After complaining twice to a host, we were told that they would get us a different waiter. We explained that the waiter was fine, he just needed help. As for the dinner, my hiusband and I both had steaks - mine medium rare, my husband's rare. Needless to say they were both overcooked and flavorless. The sides were fine, but nothing to write home about. And the final ticket came to $300.00 per couple.

I took my husband there for his birthday, and I was disappointed to say the least. We started off with the hamachi sashimi (which had a VERY strange, rubbery texture) and the shrimp trio (the ceviche was great, but the other two items were underwhelming). I had the Kansas City Strip, which was pretty good, and my husband had the monkfish wrapped in pancetta. I honestly don't know how he finished it. It was overcooked and stringy. The sides dishes were good. The best part of the meal was dessert. We had the pear trio, and it was superb. All of the ice cream is made in house, and it's unreal. Wine list is extensive, but there's a 3x markup.
Pros: Ambiance, service, great basics
Cons: More creative food really suffers
