"Located inside of The Carpenter Hotel—a place that feels like a Wes Anderson interpretation of a woodworker's home—Carpenters Hall is an all-day cafe serving “elevated comfort fare,” which mostly translates to pancakes, burgers, and avocado toasts. As long as you’re OK with paying a small design premium to sit in the dining room or on the picturesque patio, we have yet to eat a bad bite here. Afterward, you can even purchase a pool pass and keep the water party going if your fingers don’t already look like the raisins in your granola bowl." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs

"This cute Zilker hotel has a great, industrial-chic restaurant with a truly Austin patio that takes inspiration from the Mediterranean and utilizes Texas ingredients. Look for dishes like Hill Country crudite with local vegetables, dill ranch, and a chipotle pecan hummus; wagyu tartare; and roasted lamb with mango chutney. For drinks, try the Labor of Love with clarified cranberry rum and orgeat or the Beet of My Drum with beet and basil tequila." - Taylor Tobin
"Located inside of The Carpenter Hotel—a place that very much feels like a Wes Anderson interpretation of how woodworkers live—Carpenters Hall will have a handful of special Thanksgiving menu items, all served family style.

The meal includes mulled cider to start, plus soup, sides, and dessert. Wine pairings are available for an additional fee.
