    Hanna was AMAZING! We did a couples trip to Austin and I have to say -the people that live in Austin are the nicest people in any big city I’ve ever visited but Hanna stood out as one of the best. We went to Caroline for dinner and had an amazing dining experience. The atmosphere is fun but also elevated. Hanna took it upon herself to go and find us votes from all of her coworkers and who had the best tacos in town since we were on a “self guided taco tour”. She recommended great food off the Caroline menu and wonderful shops and bars to visit for late night hours after they closed, while we were there. She wasn’t just a server, she was like a friend we were visiting and was telling us what to check out. I recommend going to this restaurant and I recommend asking her as a server!

    Shoutout to our server Walter! He was so sweet, calm and attentive which made my dining experience very nice. Good service & delicious food just brightens my mood. The wild mushroom bolognese was sooo yummy especially paired with my refreshing Keep Austin Gauva’d margarita. The ambiance in this place is really nice too, dimly lit and aesthetically pretty with good music. Happy I got to stop by here while I visited Austin! Will definitely be back when I’m here again~

    Loved our visit to Caroline! Aaron was an awesome server—super friendly and on top of everything. I had the biscuits and gravy and the Mexican coffee, and both were so good. The biscuits and gravy were comforting and flavorful, and that Mexican coffee was the perfect treat to go with it. Great food, great service, and a really nice vibe. Would definitely come back!

    My friend and I drove to Austin for brunch and absolutely loved the ambiance. The restaurant felt very welcoming, and we were seated right away by the window, which made the experience even better. Our server was very friendly, offered helpful feedback on our selections, and gave great recommendations. We started with drinks—an OJ mimosa and coffee/matcha. It took a little while to receive our drinks, and our coffee and matcha arrived after our appetizer was served. For our appetizer, we ordered the Burrata plate. It was paired beautifully, and everything on the platter complemented the delicious, creamy burrata perfectly. There was a short wait before placing our main orders, but once we did, the food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the Huevos Rancheros and the Sweet Corn Cake Benedict. Both dishes were flavorful and well-balanced. Overall, it was a great brunch experience. I would definitely recommend this spot and look forward to coming back again.

    Everything about Caroline was absolutely perfect! ✨ This is a cozy, intimate spot that delivers an impressive dining experience with outstanding food and service. The space is small but thoughtfully designed, creating a welcoming and polished atmosphere. Downstairs features a well-organized restaurant with a formal yet comfortable vibe 🍽️, while upstairs offers a fun, energetic party-style ambiance 🎉—great for different moods in one location. The food truly tasted like a 5-star experience, both in flavor and presentation. Every dish arrived beautifully plated and full of bold, well-balanced flavors 😍. Highlights included the spicy deviled eggs 🌶️, roasted street corn, and the oven-baked chicken wings, which were perfectly cooked. The crab and artichoke dip was rich and comforting. For mains, the chicken schnitzel was crispy and flavorful, the wild mushroom bolognese was earthy and satisfying 🍄, and the green chili chicken enchiladas had just the right amount of heat. The standout was the lobster bucatini 🦞, which was creamy, indulgent, and absolutely delicious. Tried Goey butter cake(taste is good but little over baked- got stuck around the cup) and Tres leches ice cream(decent but not exceptional) Service was attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the visit 👏. Pros: ✔️ Exceptional food quality ✔️ Beautiful presentation ✔️ Great service ✔️ Fun upstairs vibe with a refined downstairs dining area Cons: ➖ Bit pricy, Limited space, so reservations are recommended Highly recommend Caroline for a memorable dining experience in Austin! 🌟
