In Short – The street level entrance of this Hilton restaurant leads customers into a low-lit, comfy bar with overstuffed leather chairs. Patrons on the next level come through traditional doors to the spacious dining room with two-story, floor-to-ceiling windows. Flown in from around the globe three times a week and cooked to order, fresh fish is one of Finn & Porter's specialities. Meat lovers op for one of the tender and juicy bone-in steaks.
Editor's Tips
- When to Go:
- Finn & Porter is the perfect upscale dinner stop for nearby Convention Center goers.
- Parking:
- Both self-parking and valet run $5 with a restaurant validation. Skip the cost altogether and scout out a meter in the surrounding neighborhood.
- The Extras:
- For a lighter alternative, choose from the eight types of oysters offered or watch the chef create that spicy tuna roll at the full sushi bar.
- Parking:
- The hotel has an underground garage that's $15 a day for self-parking and $20 a day for valet.

Bad Service and Worse Food
by CRule45 at Citysearch
The wait staff was totally incompetent and several errors were made on our order. Our waiter could not make a recommendation to save his life. The food itself was way over priced and mediocre at best. We ordered several rolls and one of the "chef specials". My wife made the comment that it was the worst sushi she had ever eaten and that the pre-packaged stuff at the HEB grocery store was better. I have to agree with her assessment. We would not recommend this place to anybody!!
- Pros: Seating Area was well decorated
- Cons: Slow service, mediocre food, indifferent staff
Love the Sushi!
by CPO at Citysearch
The sushi was the best I've had in Austin so far. I loved the "Finn". It was fresh and uniquely prepared. Daily specials are offered and several at the table raved about the filet stuffed with crab meat. Great spot for a special evening or for a business dinner--I might have to just grab sushi at the sushi bar on my next visit.
- Pros: Great Food, Good Service, Nice Atmosphere
