Food is not blowing you away in terms of taste, portions are on the small side. Definitely a hotel restaurant price tags on them though! Service was ok, seems like the bartender is serving a whole section near the bar plus the bar

I was able to sit at the bar with a friend with very little wait (mid-morning on a Sunday!). The staff were great; the place was clearly busy, and they were working together to check in on tables and make sure everyone was being served in a timely manner. The food was great as well-- the chicken and waffles hit the spot, and the toasted marshmallow latte was a treat!

My daughter and I came here for brunch on Sun, Oct. 28, 2023, between shows at the Paramount Theatre for Austin Film Festival. It was a cold windy day and Caroline is close to the theatre.
It was a busy day as there was also a civil march for support/protest of the fighting in Isreal and Gaza. The march was organized and peaceful, but that did bring more people to the area.
Caroline has a unique coffee roast for their espresso. It's smoky like a campfire which made a delicious burnt marshmallow latte and a regular cappuccino. We also had the eggs your way with smashed potatoes and toast. My daughter had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was peppery and crispy tempered with a nice crusty, sweet waffle with maples syrup.
The restaurant was crowded but not uncomfortable. Our table was not cleaned until we were seated. Our waitress was attentive, but the food was served by kitchen workers, I think.
We will visit again! If this review is helpful, please give it a 👍

I've had breakfast here a few mornings this week, and well... I keep coming back. Good menu with a bit of variety, but not a bewildered number of options. Staff are great - Aaron was serving me today. Safe to say I'll be back again on this trip..

Aaron was great - attentive and gave some nice menu recommendations. Food was nice as well. The cinnamon roll was the best this I've had in Austin so far
