    Food, wine, ambience, and service were all top-notch! Every dish we had was absolutely mind blowing. From start to finish, the service was flawless. Everything from our server Nick and his great recommendations to the wonderful managers, Joe and Fernando, who we had the pleasure of chatting with at our table. Can’t wait to return to try even more of the menu. Thank you Ciclo Team for your warm hospitality, your attention to detail, and your thoughtful execution. You gave us the perfect evening!

    Went for the Mothers Day Brunch because it has a reputation of being one of the best experiences. For the price I expected much more. Not that it’s a huge deal but for $140/person I don’t expect a latte ($9) to show up on the bill. Server seemed overwhelmed with beverage orders. I get it, but I certainly did not consume $140 worth of food neither did my wife. Small crowded buffet by the door to outside so there was always a traffic jam to the patio. Harpist was nice but the dining room was so crowded. Just don’t see the value or justification in price for the $140 (+tax & grat).

    We tried out Ciclo for a date night and it did not disappoint. The weather was perfect for outdoor dining and the location was gorgeous. The food was absolutely delicious and we enjoyed all the things we tried. The ceviche, empanadas and sea bass were some of our favorites. We will definitely return for another meal.

    We have gone to Sunday Brunch at Ciclo many times over the years but had not been recently. It was delightful as always. The presentations were somewhat different than in the past but all inviting and many options. Staff was great. Our waiter was wonderful. Such personal attention. We were there about 1.5 hours enjoying several visits to the buffet and special conversation among family. Certainly not cheap but still a good value when all things are considered.

    Lovely location, service was average at best. Had to ask for water refills. Was told there was a large selection of gluten free options, I would say minimal. Sushi options we would not try bc they were not on ice. In general food was average and price did not match the selection or taste of items. I wouldn’t go back or recommend as there are so many great places in Austin. We were really disappointed as we had heard food was so great for brunch.

    Although having a beautiful outdoor dining area, given threat of weather, we stayed inside. We decided on a special that evening a 33 oz ribeye on the bone. It was brought to table on a 1600 degree salt slab and torched in front of us with tequila. It has roasted garlic and rosemary on top. It was one of the finest steaks I’ve had in a LONG time. Service was spectacular and while the Cabernets on menu are very high priced, they are all mostly rare and wonderful. It was a great experience.

    This is our first time here. The service was acceptable but the atmosphere inside lacked quite a bit. Way too noisy! And if your staff is going to carry on loud conversations, they need to be away from the guests. Atmosphere Outside was much better The food had far too much spices and sauces but was presented very nicely. We might return.
