    Beautiful space with covered outside patio. I enjoyed the menu but was a little put off by the door blowing my menu off the table whenever the door opened. Overall, the service was prompt and good. From cocktails to apps to mains, everything was well prepared and tasty. I had the chicken and waffles (savory) and my sister had the pancakes. Delicious! Definitely try out this locale!

    The food wasn’t as fancy as the photos and they put too much seasoning on the ribeye. Imagine that, seasoning on a ribeye that’s not simply salt and pepper.

    Great garden/river view, food and ambience. I was a fan of its pre-2018 predecessor, TRIO. Ask for Edwin as your server. A class act and perfect waiter.
    CicloResponded on 4 February 2025
    Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted you enjoyed the garden and river views, as well as the food and ambiance. TRIO was certainly a beloved spot, and we're honored to continue that legacy at Ciclo. We’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to Edwin—he truly is exceptional. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

    Attended the brunch. We have done this for years, particularly Mothers Day, but we were disappointed this year. Food selection was just ok. For 78.pp we didn’t think the selection of food was worth the cost. No Champagne offered either for New Years Day :(

    Thank you for joining us for brunch and for taking the time to share your feedback. While this brunch service was our traditional brunch offering and not a holiday brunch as you have enjoyed in the past, we are saddened to hear it did not meet your expectations. We sincerely apologize for any miscommunication and a less than perfect experience. We greatly appreciate your continued patronage and look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the exceptional experience you’ve come to expect. To discuss your experience further, please feel free to reach out directly at 512-685-8300. -Fernando Hernandez Jr., Ciclo General Manager

    We were there for Christmas Day. It was a very expensive prix fixe, $149pp + tax and gratuity. It was a buffet… one of the worst I’ve ever been to. The prime rib was fatty and extremely tough. There was only one salad with greens (which no one in my family liked). The rest of the food was either overcooked and/or not tasty at all. There were times when they ran out of food and you had to wait for it to be replenished. They ran out of asparagus altogether. I basically ate quinoa and a caprese salad for dinner. Such a disappointment for a restaurant at the Four Seasons.
    CicloResponded on 31 December 2024
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely regret that the buffet did not meet your expectations and that certain aspects of the meal fell short of the high standards we strive to deliver. We understand how special holiday meals are, and we truly apologize for a less than perfect experience. We’d love the opportunity to restore your trust and provide the exceptional experience you’ve come to expect from us. If there’s anything we can do to make it right, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly. Warm regards, Fernando Hernandez, Ciclo General Manager, 512-685-8300
