Ciclo - Austin

Dinner was both exquisite and delightful, pleasing both the palate and the eye. We enjoyed fantastic service on the outdoor terrace, which offers a view of Lady Bird Lake and a garden filled with beautiful live oak trees. The wine selection was impressive and mostly reasonably priced. I highly recommend the ceviche, heirloom tomato salad, watermelon salad, and half chicken. Unfortunately, the menu has become quite limited since COVID. I look forward to the day when the full menu returns so I can try more dishes. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, though the prices are a bit on the higher side; it's definitely worth it.

As for the food, it was truly outstanding! If budget isn't a concern, I highly recommend ordering the tomahawk steak, which is finished at the table by the chef—it's not only a great presentation but also incredibly delicious! The cast iron chicken was excellent, and the ribeye and scallop dishes were just as impressive. For dessert, the tres leches was beautifully presented (you crack open the shell with a mallet), and the bon bon filled with Amy's Mexican vanilla was equally delightful. You will not be disappointed!

The wagyu tomahawk experience is truly unparalleled; the steak is flambéed at your table with tequila and garlic! It’s perfect for serving three people.

Ciclo is the Four Seasons restaurant and the parking is a bit confusing. They do validate at the restaurant but we had already paid. Valet for a simpler process. Food was delicious but I was not terribly impressed for the price. Sides were the biggest disappointment but the steak was perfectly cooked with a nice crust. The staff was lovely, very accommodating, and gave great recommendations.

We came here for my husbands birthday, but we honestly come once a month anyway. We love this place! The staff is amazing and on point always. The food and ambiance are excellent! So many good things to say.
