Trio Description:
Austin's landmark hotel restaurant perched on sparkling Lady Bird Lake (formerly Town Lake) is a vibrant space with contemporary lines and the striking colors of the sunset. The remake of the former European-style menu by veteran executive chef Elmar Prambs is anchored by the classics: fresh seafood, Prime steaks and fine wine, hence the name Trio. The seasonally changing menu leans toward healthful and locally procured ingredients. Start with the trio of shrimp: shrimp ceviche, phyllo-wrapped, and poached. Filet mignon is tender and properly grilled, and the salad of multi-colored roasted beets with blue cheese and pecans is bursting with tangy flavor. Opt for the interesting side dish of Italian farro risotto to go with a moist olive-oil poached halibut. Consult with sommelier Mark Sayre for a wine choice from the 800-bottle collection. Talented pastry chef Naomi Gallego designs artful desserts like the passion fruit floating island, almost too pretty to eat. Sunday brunch is extravagant with a raw bar, mounds of shrimp, a carving station and free-flowing mimosas.
