    Absolutely fantastic cocktails. While expensive, they were some of the best I've ever had. Both our bartenders were kind and friendly. The ambiance was unbeatable for a quiet date night.

    The charm of Goldie's is perfect. We planned our visit as a reconnaissance to host a Wedding Team for my niece. Sadly we will NOT be planning the Tea at Goldie's. Note the following as perspective of my review.... I have had tea at the Ritz in London, the Adolphus in Dallas, in Barbados at Sandy Lane, and several other places around the world. Frankly, we were left beyond disappointed in the service. My expectations when you spend ~$100 per person (there were 4 of us), order 2 $180 bottles of Champagne are that you will check in on us beyond taking our order and delivering, chill our Champagne bottle on ice after is opened, bring the WHOLE order (they never brought the honey for our tea), and not have to personally go to the bar 2 times to ask for the other non-alcoholic drink that was ordered and never delivered. They need to step up their service to meet the expectations of 5 star tea experiences.

    Ian isn’t an attentive bartender nor did he ever attempt to greet or check-in on me. He made rounds to all tables to either bring them cocktails or get their drink order but completely passed by me several times to help people who arrived after me. Kevin took a while but made fantastic cocktails as always.

    I did a lot of research on the different afternoon teas in Austin, and Goldie’s was at the top. Ever since The Steeping Room closed a few years ago I’ve been missing my birthday afternoon tea. The afternoon tea at Goldie’s is pricey, but completely worth it. The atmosphere, menu , and tea selection are wonderful, and the service is absolutely outstanding. My friends were worried at the cost since you have to pay everything upfront when you reserve, but it was so worth it for a special occasion and means no fussing with the bill when it’s time to leave. We went on a Friday afternoon so it wasn’t too busy, which was perfect for taking our time and enjoying each other’s company.
