Fodor's Expert Review Goodall's

$$$ Central Austin and the University of Texas American

Now Hotel Ella, the historic Goodall Wooten mansion still retains its stately, old-world charm, and Goodall’s occupies the main floor. The romantic setting screams special occasion, with a concise (and pricey) menu. Service is first-rate, but the cuisine gets inconsistent reviews from patrons who think the lackluster flavors of dishes like fish and chips and seared strip steaks aren’t worth the prices. Seasonal ceviches are popular, however. Breakfast and lunch are served on weekdays, replaced by brunch on weekends. Snag a table on the wraparound porch if the weather is nice.
