The setting is especially well‑suited to anniversaries, family gatherings, and meet‑ups with friends, thanks to its scenic backdrop and comfortable mix of indoor and outdoor seating.

Planning your visit

Canyon Grille Rough Hollow is located in the Rough Hollow area of Lakeway, just off Yacht Club Cove, a short drive from many Lake Travis neighborhoods and vacation rentals. The restaurant typically serves lunch and dinner on most days, with evenings being the most popular time to visit, so reservations are a smart idea during busy seasons.
