Garrison sits inside the Fairmont Austin at 101 Red River Street, downtown. The kitchen works a post oak-fired grill for its mains — Texas Wagyu petite tender and 25oz ribeye, a 40oz oak-grilled porterhouse, 12-day dry-aged duck, grilled swordfish and Broken Arrow nilgai loin — while the front of the menu runs cooler: tuna tartare with osetra caviar, beef tartare with trout roe, pan-seared scallops in tom yum beurre, and duck liver parfait with Parker House rolls.
The Garrison Tater Tots, finished with raclette and black truffle, have become the dish people mention first, alongside housemade sourdough and cultured butter. A private dining room seats 16 (30 standing) for events and group dinners.
Opinions on the room run hot and cold — the food draws consistent praise while service and consistency get mixed reviews from regulars. Garrison has been a Michelin Guide Selected restaurant in both the 2024 and 2025 editions.
