Corner Restaurant

I'm dumb.When I review a Marriott place, I ought to try to review it when I can settle down and do some serious drinking.Marriot bars tend to be excellent ... and the ones in the more upscale Marriotts are particularly lush.But I showed up at the Corner Restaurant at the J W Marriott for a businessman's lunch.Eat fast and do productive things for the rest of the day.Kind of a waste of a good opportunity.* * *Marriotts and Omnis are the two hotel chains I think about when I think about good food.Of course there are many spectacular five star hotels with food to die for who are technically owned by corporate chains. They keep their classic high prestige name so as to obscure the ownership issue.Marriotts wear who owns them on their sleeve.* * *The Corner at J W Marriotts on 2nd Street is a typical high end Marriott property.The real estate is gorgeous.I love the lobby. I love the interior of the Corner.The other restaurant at the 2nd St J W Marriotts is an Italian steakhouse that looks like an empty excuse to spend money. The steaks might be okay but the prices are mindboggling.The Corner is only slightly on the high side and delivers value for the money.I did the Chicken Chili - an absolutely first rate white chili.It hit just the right spot of being spicy enough to immediately command my attention but not being so combative as to put up a fight going down.It was aggressive and comforting at the same time.I love being comforted.Had I been drinking, there are any number of beers or whiskeys that would have made a first rate accompaniment.Well ... maybe next time.

I enjoy the "hole in the wall" restaurants. Excellent brisket, cole slaw, and bean soup. If downtown Austen, you need to try this establishment.

We really enjoyed our dinner here. We were visiting Austin for a few days and our hotel was nearby. We wanted something better than fast food and weren't in the mood for BBQ. This delivered. The fact that you can sit outside and enjoy the weather while eating delicious food by a vibrant corner definitely helped.We sat at the bar and split everything. We got red snapper ceviche, asparagus, the short rib taquitos and the smoked brisket tacos. They were all delicious, but the tacos were the winner. I had their spicy margarita and my bf had a bourbon. Both were well made and yummy.Service was good, they were attentive. 1 star less because when I ordered the ceviche the waiter said 'do you want chips with that', and I said 'Sure' assuming I'd get a few chips to scoop up the seafood with. Instead I got enough corn chips to feed 5 people and was of course charged for a full order. Everything was pretty pricey including the drinks, but we were on vacation and just accepted it.

Stayed on Rainey street and walked to Corner for breakfast with out-of-town guests. The portions were nice and the food was really good! Not pictured were the French Toast Fritters that were an excellent start to our breakfast. I got the All American breakfast which is a classic plate of favorites but the best thing we ordered were the Chipotle Pork Chilaquiles - it's a must!

The food here is always delicious. A few nights ago I ordered the salmon dish and I was not disappointed. It was very tasty! Ali, our waitress was great. She was super accommodating and made great recommendations. While this spot is definitely expensive, I do enjoy coming here for a special night out.

We stopped at Corner for lunch because we were staying at the JW Marriott and it was convenient. We had a decent lunch, the chips & guac were tasty, but for the price a little steep. I tried the Corner House Salad, the dressing was very unique, but I enjoyed it, it was spicy and a little tangy, it was a huge portion. We stoped in a few times for the convenience and to use our JW Marriott daily credits, a good use of the money if you are staying here!

This was some of the best food I ever ate. While attending a conference at the hotel I visited this lovely restaurant accurately named for lunch with a colleague. We were seated immediately and while they had a beautiful patio with fire pits it was a bit chilly if you were not near the fire or in the sun. We were seated immediately in a large comfy booth and our waitress was so kind! My colleague wanted malt vinegar so have with her fries and she was so accommodating and found it! My drink was fruity and tasty and every bite of my food was an explosion of flavor! I'm still dreaming about it! Definitely a must if staying downtown Austin.

Service was great and food orders came out pretty quick. Our server was super accommodating with drink customizations and gave some good recommendations. The steak was cooked nicely and came with a ton of chimichrui. Was so good dipping the steak in that sauce and eating with the seasoned potatoes.The asparagus was a good sharing portion, but it was a little too zesty for my liking. Chicken enchiladas were a great size portion, with plenty of shredded smoked chicken and cheese. Ordered the cornbread as well, and that was good, had a just a hint of jalepeno. The brisket was decent, just a little too much bbq sauce and a little over charred. Old fashion was really good, had kind of a chocolatey tasting bitters, though it was a quite lightly poured. Overall the food was good, and it's a good spot to grab a bite with coworkers.

We stopped by the Corner Restaurant for brunch on a rainy day, drawn in by their indoor seating. The location is excellent, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. I ordered the avocado toast, which came topped with pepitas--simple but delicious. I also had a mimosa that was perfectly balanced. The presentation of the food was lovely, and overall, the experience was very pleasant. I'd definitely come back for another meal!

Corner is at a great location to stop in for lunch if you're attending business meetings or conferences at the JW. Its right within the hotel. With that it is on the pricier side. The food was very good. We started with the chips and guac and then ordered the short rib tacos and salmon. The salmon was very tasty but did have a kick to it. The tacos were on the smaller side and were only the tacos (no side of rice, etc.) which seemed pretty expensive for just 3 tacos. Overall, its a cute restaurant with a nice patio in a convenient location and service was very good. Just a tad on the pricier side for what you get
