Nearly half the city has enjoyed a cocktail or two at the W Hotel downtown.  TRACE delivers an pleasurable experience with a taste of the good life, literally.  The chic atmosphere and tasty selections make this spot one of downtown Austin’s finest experiences you’ll have.  The amazing brunch menu includes Chicken Fried Lockhart Quail & Waffles, Biscuits & Gravy with house-made sausage, and the B.E.L.T. Sandwich.
