Fiskville Bar and Grill - The restaurant inside the hotel.
Taj Palace - A block or two north of the hotel, an excellent East Indian restaurant with a boundless lunch buffet. Texas Land and Cattle Steak House - 6007 North IH 35, Austin, Texas 78723, 512-451-6555 - Not within walking distance, but a five minute drive from the hotel.
