6 Surprising Things About ‘Top Chef’ Restaurant Wars | Eater

"Set up as a vegetable‑centric restaurant on the Top Chef: Destination Canada “Restaurant Wars” set, this pop‑up leaned heavily into composed vegetable dishes and desserts that ultimately outshone the savory courses. Dining alongside the judges under heavy television production—with crew doing beauty shots and tight timelines—left service feeling frazzled: wine ran low, portions were notably small (the Pithivier was served as a half portion), and some plates suffered from temperature issues (for example, Lana’s trout with pot likker consommé arrived at an odd room temperature). Despite those execution hiccups, the desserts received the most praise from both diners and judges, and the executive chef, Tristen Epps, notably continued cooking through a family bereavement, lending the service a sense of dedication. Overall, the concept and presentation were engaging, but production pressures and portioning made the experience feel more like a television service than a fully satisfying restaurant dinner." - Stephanie Wu

We met with some family and friends for 4 days we attempted to book here for all 4 nights however it was full the first night. So, we were able to book for the following 3 nights. The set up of the hotel is great (parking so so) around the pool. We were in Room #9 and the room was nice and clean no complaints there. I wasn't told about the complimentary candles! The only complaint that I would have about room 9 is in case of an emergency there is NO WAY OUT besides the front door, and if that's blocked, you're in trouble! The windows that are there have those Glass Blocks so there's no breaking through those! The other thing is the trash by the BBQ pit area was never picked up! even though housekeeping went and cleaned the rooms. But overall it was a very comfortable environment!

The room was amazing very spacious,but it lacks drawers to put away your belongings. We came with a party of 4 couples while everyone else got a complimentary candle and their breakfast vouchers we did not i did call them to let them know about the vouchers they said they would bring them over and they did but just one and we were 2 and we stayed here for 4 days 3 nights and we booked with plenty of time so they knew we were coming so i feel they had plenty of time to be prepared for everyone in our party but they weren't. We hung by the pool and hot tub which i love its open 24 hours love how the set up is of the rooms to the pool. They have a pit for bbqing which set up under a huge tree and a nice pergola that has lights but do not turn on they need more lights for the ambiance to be so much better. I will think about booking here again if we ever come back.

I just returned from a wonderful 2-night stay at the Hotel Flora and Fauna. It was wonderful in every way! The room was so spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. Loved the upscale Salt + Stone toiletries, the facial wipes, and earplugs in the bathroom. The robes were a nice touch as well! The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities and it's rare to have a freezer in your room, so that was a bonus! It's a 3 minute walk to Leaning Pear and a 2 minute walk to an excellent BBQ spot--both were great meals! The drive to HEB is 3 minutes--very convenient. Also really appreciated the free breakfast pastry and coffee down the road. I will be telling everyone I know who comes to Wimberley to stay here and look forward to my next stay, too!

Tried this precious accommodation on our recent girls trip . So well done! It was magical and very quiet . Each room is so perfectly designed . Check in was automated and easy . Checkout was the same , 5 stars all the way for the rooms and stay. Just a few footnotes . Not walking distance to town as noted unless you are planning a very long walk. If you have any issues , there is not a direct number . We had a problem with the door release code and we kept having to nudge the reservation line and that person was pretty unaccommodating at night ! Finely figured it out. Overall the stay was over the top .

We enjoyed our stay. I love how it feels like a home away from home, rather than just a standard hotel room. The bed was very firm and comfortable. We were able to watch the Superbowl on the TV. If we can stay here again, I would bring an electric pan so I can cook. There's a beautiful kitchenette in the room with plates, cutlery, knives, cutting board, refrigerator, freezer etc, but no stovetop. It's a nice 10 minute walk to the square, but I just wish there was a sidewalk throughout the walk. There is a central sidewalk through part of the walk but surely doesn't go all the way. We had a six year old, and I was so scared since the drivers drive so fast on these roads. I also enjoyed the breakfast where the hotel gives us a voucher for one coffee and a pastry. I most of all love the quaint and quiet location!

A girlfriend and I stayed a couple of nights in February 2025. The room was pristine and nicely furnished. Very comfy bed. Wish I had read all the amenities as the pool had a heated tub at one end. Should have packed my bathing suit! Charming courtyard. The hotel is walking distance to the center of town where we enjoyed shopping and cocktails and really great meals. I'll be back!!

I would rate this establishment 1 star. I stayed here for 5 days and I was so happy to leave this place. A random lady came knocking at my door with no uniform in regular clothes asking to come into my room to grab “a plant” I have a small child I said no what are your doing here? She claimed she was in charge of the plants at the property. There is no maids, no lobby, no workers. If you look up the definition if a “hotel” versus a “motel” this is a motel not a hotel in anyway. Very much so false advertisement. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone.

We rented two rooms at this Boutique hotel and loved it! So quiet and peaceful! We had a birthday so we ordered the bday package and the margarita package and charcuterie board and Prosecco. They were fabulous! Highly recommend! The beds were so comfortable! We will definitely be back!

Charming Hotel with a Major Drawback Flora and Fauna is a cute little hotel in a great location--walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in Wimberley, which we really appreciated. The room itself was nicely decorated, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. However, there was a strong musty smell in the room that we just couldn't get rid of, which really affected our stay. Unfortunately, the room had no windows that could be opened for fresh air, making the smell even more noticeable. It's also worth noting that there's no staff on-site--you have to call if you need anything, including extra towels, though they will bring them promptly. Housekeeping doesn't come during your stay unless requested. If they can resolve the odor issue in the rooms, this would be a perfect little spot. Until then, it's a bit of a mixed experience.

Clean! Adorable! Quiet! Friendly service! There are not enough words to describe how great this place is! We found out about this place in the Houstonian. This was an excellent choice for a place to stay! My hubby purchased one of their experiences, which was a pleasant surprise for me. (Roses, wine, chocolates, and snacks.) I'm very picky when it comes to clean places to stay and this place did not disappoint!!! They even give you a voucher for breakfast each day for the Sugar Shack Bakery, which is just a short walk away. On Monday they delivered a basket of croissants with condiments, bananas, and organ eggs juice since the bakery was closed. Upon leaving we ran into the owner. She was so nice and bubbly. You can definitely tell she takes pride in the place! We will be back and tell all our friends about this hidden gem! On second thought, I might want to keep this a secret. ;-)

I enjoyed the small details and decor at this hotel, though overall didn't meet the price point. Pros: - trendy decor - walkable enough to city center and trails - clean - kitchenette - 2 bbq grills, hot tub, pool - seem less check-in with key pads - breakfast vouchers provided for a wonderful nearby bakery Cons: - bakery was closed, though hotel didn't tell us - bright lights made it difficult to sleep - pull out couch is badly misshapen and uncomfortable - front desk is difficult to reach by phone

This is a poorly remodeled old motel from the 1950-60s. There is a louvered door on the bathroom so you have only visual privacy. The floor was not clean and there are windows only on one side, so there is no air circulation except from the wall unit a/c. I thought it was too expensive for what it offered. there is no lobby, and the included breakfast is at an off-site bakery, a cup of coffee and a danish or scone. I would never stay there again and would not recommend.

Fantastic place to stay! Effortless checkin and checkout. Superclean and so comfortable! They made our room so much like home. Refrigerator, kitchenette, all working perfectly. One really nice touch was the LP player with record albums for the guests to play! It made a really spontaneous, romantic evening. So very cool, and much appreciated! The pool was just a few steps from every room, clean and the hottub was SO inviting after a long day! A pair of outdoor grills were available in the green courtyard. Unfortunately, we did not have time to take advantage of them, buy it is yet another nice amenity.

This place is soooo nice. Very reasonable rates for such a nice room, pictures don't do it justice. The grounds are well maintained, pool and hot tub are clean and relaxing. The room was impeccable and beautifully decorated. And the bed! King sized memory foam mattress that had me sleeping like a rock! They pay close attention to detail, they even had a full size coffee pot, coffee, and REAL half & half! Non of that powdered creamer I dread from hotel rooms. I will definitely be visiting again!

We are very happy with the one night we stayed. The place seems relatively new, and it was very clean and fresh. The best thing about the room was the king sized bead that was super comfortable. While they DO have an office, you do not need to check in or out; when you make your reservation online, they just give you a door code to your room. We paid $136 for a Sunday night stay; the price may be slightly higher on a Friday or Saturday; we were happy with the price. There is a small wading pool. They give a complimentary breakfast, but we didn't get to have ours because we had to leave before 9am, which is appears to be the earliest they will bring it. We would stay here again.

Yelp
Oh no! They use the term "Hotel" very loosely here. It's more like a dingy motel. Room smells like mold, A/C is above your head and loud, hope you weren't planning on sleeping. The bed had dirt and dust all over, so I suspect it was cleaned a month ago at best. There really isn't enough parking which is a dirt patch off the road not an actual parking. It's really not worth the cost. I feel completely ripped off.

We have been going to the Hotel Flora and Fauna for four years now. Green, clean, contemporary, organic elegance. Prints and textiles reflecting the beauty of our natural world, contemporary rusted metal planters with greenery, surrounding a turquoise pool and hot tub. Such tasteful accommodations in a peaceful setting with retro touches like a record player ( Elvis!) And the owners think of everything. Vouchers to the Sugar Shack; a local bakery just a walk down the path. If the Sugar Shack is closed, they will bring you warm croissants. Reasonably priced snacks and beverages. And our little shihtzu was treated like a princess.

This was our first time to Wimberley, we came to visit off recommendations for our 5 year anniversary trip. When we showed up for our reservation, it seemed the check in process was easy! Once we got into the room, is where it went downhill. The room was a complete mess, hadn't even been cleaned. Even toilet paper was everywhere. It was gross. We weren't able to even fully check in until after 5. They did attempt to try and make it right by leaving a bottle of wine and gin. The cleaning ladies were very nice too. We understand things happen, but that's when communication needs to happen. Unfortunately, I would not recommend staying here.

"Modern" and "hip" are not words you would generally use to describe Wimberley, Texas. It's a cute little town, good for antiques, galleries, hiking outside of town, and generally getting away from the big city. But it's more about ornate furniture and old lace than it is about clean lines and cool surroundings. That is, until you step onto the grounds of Hotel Flora and Fauna. Because this ain't your grandma's Wimberley. You pull up into a shell and gravel parking lot that is walking distance from the main town square, and the first striking thing is an expanse of wall, covered by an equally large expanse of mural by an Austin artist. It shows local wildlife in a natural setting. Step inside the gate into a serene courtyard, complete with a small swimming pool, a pergola, and bocce balls dotting the green. A few standing stones contribute to the feel of a Zen garden. The rooms themselves are spacious with a king-size bed, a kitchenette with microwave and dorm-sized refrigerator and coffee maker (plus plates, cutlery, cups, and glasses for four as well as the essential corkscrew), a seating area that can comfortably accommodate four or more, and a bathroom with a huge shower. Little amenities are LED mood lighting on demand, a ceiling fan, and--just to burnish the hipster credentials--a portable turntable with a selection of '70s and '80s LPs. (Yes, Saturday morning found me sipping coffee and listening to Stevie Wonder.) The decor is retro modern--sharp, chic, and far more reminiscent of Portland, Oregon than Wimberley, Texas. And it works in spades. True to its name, Hotel Flora and Fauna does its best to be environmentally friendly, with recycling bins near each room and using Earth-friendly cleaners without any strong scents. The room was spotless when I arrived. There's also the usual collection of snacks, bottled water, etc., on the kitchen counter available for a charge, like in so many other hotels. Unlike in so many others, however, they don't gouge you on the prices. Most stuff is only $1, only a bit more than you might pay at the local grocery store, not the 300% mark-up you find at most hotels. Check-in and check-out are completely simple because there's nothing to do in either instance. Booking is online, and the room doors open with a numerical code that the hotel sends via email. You can go straight to your room without needing to stand around a front desk. But don't let that make you think Hotel Flora and Fauna is in any way impersonal. To the contrary, the management at this place is wonderful. Kharma, the manager, clearly cares about the business and wants it to succeed. Within an hour of our arrival, she was at the room with a folder full of suggestions about what to do in the area, complete with Google Maps directions (as well as an armful of extra LPs for the turntable). If it sounds like I'm gushing, it's because I am. This is one of the coolest little places I've stayed in a long while, and they seem to have thought of everything. The price is right, the service is friendly, and the location could scarcely be better. This one's a winner.

I made a reservation a week ago, now I am covid compromised and had to cancel. My intention was to rebook a week later, however they will not refund me the 100 dollars for cancelation. Disappointed in the managers approach to this situation.

Some Of the best customer service I've ever experienced in hospitality. The general manager, Ryan and Andrea were so attentive and responsive to our requests. We had an issue that was outside of the hotel's control and they went out of their way to solve it for us. If you are looking for great hospitality, they are way ahead of the game!

Awesome room. Incredible service. We were in town for a wedding, and several of us from the party stayed here. When we drove up, we had no idea what to expect. It's a very old style "Motor Court" type building, straight out of the 1950s, I believe. So our hopes were not high, but we figured, "Well, it's only for two nights." But boy, our first impressions couldn't have been more wrong! This place is incredible! All the rooms have been totally remodeled, and are decorated in a "hipster chic" kind of vibe. If you ever find yourself in this little Texas town, make sure you stay this place!

What a find! Comfortable, chic, spotless, conveniently located, with friendly, professional service. Sugar Shack breakfast was the perfect start each morning. The pool is perfectly situated for afternoon shade. I've found my home away from home in Wimberley.

Absolutely loved this hotel inn! It's a small place, maybe 12-13 rooms. A lot of attention to detail in the rooms and their courtyard. Bed was comfortable, room was clean and we enjoyed playing records in the room on their record player. Close to a nice little bakery and other shops.

We went here for a quick getaway from Austin. They knew we were coming to celebrate my birthday and see the Trail of Lights. I was so pleasantly surprised to see flowers and a card waiting upon our arrival. This place is amazing! If you get a change stay here. The attention to detail was incredible. Who puts a turntable and albums in a hotel room? They do. And so clean. Not a dust bunny to be found anywhere! I could go on and on so I will just say I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get away. Thanks Hotel Flora and Fauna for making our stay so pleasant.

Amazing attention to detail in the rooms. Everything you might need. Clean and well maintained. Service is impeccable. Close to everything but not too close if you know what I mean. I've paid a lot more for a lot less in name hotels.

I'm not one to really write reviews, but man, this place really is fantastic. I came here with a few friends for a little getaway and Hotel Flora and Fauna truly exceeded my expectations. The property is a cozy, small sized boutique hotel that is located just a few blocks from the town square. The suite we stayed in was very clean, beautifully decorated, and super comfortable. I can't say enough good things about it. Next time you're in Wimberley, do yourself a favor and make sure to stay here!

We stayed here twice in the last two or three months and had a delightful experience both times. The rooms are comfortable, very clean, and gently quirky. It was too cool to use the attractive pool, so we will certainly return when the weather warms up. I hope very one has as good a time as we did!

Great place. Simply charming and very eclectic. So peaceful and absolutely great decor. Things that you would never think you would see in a hotel. You have to see it to believe it. Very clean, had everything you needed in kitchen. Treated to breakfast snacks in the morning that I departed. The bed was heavenly; slept great. I'll be back when I'm in the area and need a safe, peaceful place to stay.

Booked on a whim and I couldn't have been more pleased. Decor is fun and contemporary - turntable in my room with K-Tel Superhits and a Men at Work albums to play. Rooms have everything you could need - kitchenette with coffee maker, coffee, tea, creamer, sugar, dishes, knives, wine opener, dish soap, microwave, mini fridge with freezer compartment. Snacks at reasonable prices (no $7 bottle of water here!) Cozy seating area and great bed with down pillows. I loved the basket with towels and plastic cups to take to hot tub/pool area. And the books, there are real books in the rooms that are actually really good reads. And the the lovely note and tiny plant as a welcome gift - shut your mouth! Who does that anymore! People have mentioned the noisy air units above the bed - it did not bother me, more like white noise but I did have to crank up the TV in order to hear it. Free WiFi! People also have mentioned the odd no office, just walk to your room, punch in the code in the door and walk in. I LOVED it! I hate the whole checking in process. I didn't care that there is no one really around. My only complaint is the whimpy shower heads. I'd like something with a little more umph! Love, love, love. I will be back!

Beautiful clean rooms. Awesome bed. Dog friendly (they even had two toys, beds, treats and pee pads for our dogs!). Pool is super well maintained as is the rest of the property. Short walk to center of town and shops, restaurants and coffee. Wonderful hotel with top notch owners. Highly recommend

I own a small business so I understand the importance of customer service, what a bad review can do for ratings, therefore I rarely rarely write these. While the hotel looks cute and I'm sure it's comfortable, my experience with Jerry after booking was not great. Before booking, he explained the cancellation policy, of which there is a $100 fee to do so. Literally 30 seconds after booking and hanging up with him my husband told me he had already booked us a hotel room elsewhere. I called immediately back, explained the situation, and asked for them to not run the card. Someone else took the message saying probably Jerry could help me out and he would call me back. Jerry was "unavailable" for about 5 minutes and when he called back told me too late, he would charge me the cancellation fee or I could just gift my reservation to a relative..? Jerry was combative, argumentative and downright rude. He also said that my husband and I should have better communication skills. Perhaps we would have stayed with them another time, but not now. I guess they really need that $100.. Buyer beware.

A fun, unique and modern hotel in the beautiful Hill Country! Located in a great location with relaxing features. The check-in process was swift and the simplest ever encountered. We were greeted with a cute, mini potted plant and a welcoming note upon check-in. They make every detail count here and we loved every bit of our experience. For example, the picnic basket filled with towels and cups were perfect to use outdoors. Our stay was relaxing, enjoyable and we highly recommend this business to anyone wanting to experience Wimberley at its finest.

This place is great! Price is great, location great! I've never been to wimberley and I've enjoyed every minute of it. If you want a fun, clean, cool, well thought out and organized hotel for the weekend or anytime, you have to go! I'm telling everyone I know! I'm going to be booking here always! Love, love, love it!
