Arlo Grey by Kristen Kish

This is advertised as their fine dining restaurant so you expect prices to be a little bit higher, but what struck us was the lack of options on the menu for main courses

They had a $20 hammer ground fries which is a good option, but every other main course was $50 or higher, including over $100 for a steak. It would’ve been nice to have some options between a $20 burger and a $65 fish course or $100 steak course.

We had two drinks and two appetizers in our bill with tip was $95. That’s a little on the high side even for downtown Austin. With the sticky rice, which was very good, but had very little of the actual bacon that was advertised,

The room had a nice dark vibe, as if you were in a high-end restaurant, the drinks were good as well, but I just don’t think you can justify the price for what we got

Everything was so salty we couldn't even eat. So disappointed!

Went with my family, parents are huge fans of top chef and Kristen and wanted to check this spot out. We had Nick as our server and let him take the reins when it came to ordering family style for a table of 5. Not one dish missed, everything was amazing. Nick was also gracious enough to grab a signed menu from the back for my mother which made her night. Top tier hospitality! Thanks Nick 🙏🏻🔥

Not what I was expected from this Restaurant. My wife and 4 of our friends had dinner this past NYE. All of our entrees were very salty. I could not finish my plate because the server quickly took it away without asking me first. I told our server about not being able to finish my meal and the food quality. The server told me “Why do I care”. Our friends had to order their desert from another server and get place settings from the bar. We were treated like it’s a privilege to be at the establishment rather than welcomed as guests. Arlo Grey NYE dinner was a disappointment for us all.

Expensive and not worth the price. The food was not good. Also not family style those dishes are not shareable.

We were staying at the LINE and checked out this restaurant for dinner and absolutely loved it. We ordered the grilled oyster mushrooms and the Texas farm salad to start; highly recommend both. The bartender was kind enough to let us know our entree was dragging a bit behind and sent us a burrata on the house. The burrata is absolutely delicious and different from your standard idea of what a burrata should be; I appreciated the creativity. The star of the show was the pork chop. Hugh portion (enough for two), cooked perfectly, and packed with flavor. Highly recommend this spot!

Everything about our meal was excellent: service, food, ambience. Even the bill was surprisingly low for a restaurant of this caliber (about 1/3 less than I anticipated).

Fantastic restaurant for a date night. The swordfish and Berkshire pork meals were delicious and the bartender made drinks to perfection that came out pretty quickly. To top it off, the server was attentive and would would walk by the table to see if we needed anything but had great discretion to know when to verbally check on us as to not overly interfere. Top notch experience.

I celebrated New Year's Eve at Arlo Grey with their prix fixe menu and it ended up being one of the best dinners I've had. There was a small mix-up with my reservation, but the team handled it with grace and made everything feel easy and welcoming. Every course was beautifully plated, well balanced, and memorable. The pacing was smooth, the flavors felt intentional, and the entire meal felt worth the prix fixe price. Service was warm, attentive, and never rushed, even on a busy NYE. If you want a special occasion dinner in Austin that feels elevated but still relaxed, Arlo Grey delivered. I'll absolutely be back.

The food was so delicious and our waitress was fantastic! We came for the prefixe dinner on NYE. We were sad to find out that there was no wine pairing but our cocktails were very good. I have to mention that this restaurant is straight up located in the lobby. Like not off to the side- literally straight back from the valet stand. It shares a glass wall with the pool area. So as far as sexy ambiance goes there was a bit to be desired. But the decor is beautiful and as I mentioned the service and food were superb. I just wish I had a little more heads up that it is so so much a centerpiece of the hotel.

They went above and beyond with service and making sure we were satisfied with the meal! Thank you!

I had the pleasure of celebrating Christmas with a group of close friends at Arlo Grey. We opted for their special holiday course meal, and it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The multi-course dinner was thoughtfully curated and thoroughly enjoyable—each dish showcased creative flavors with seasonal Central Texas ingredients. But the undeniable star of the evening was the main course: the Pastrami Wagyu Short Rib. It was extraordinary—so incredibly tender, richly flavorful, and literally melted in my mouth with every bite. The pastrami seasoning added a wonderful depth without overpowering the premium wagyu quality. It was one of those dishes that leaves you speechless and craving more. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a holiday gathering. With stunning views of Lady Bird Lake, elegant yet relaxed decor, and a cozy festive vibe, it felt sophisticated without being stuffy—ideal for sharing laughs and stories with friends. Service was attentive and friendly, contributing to a seamless evening. Overall, it was a highlight of the holiday season, and I'm already looking forward to returning to Arlo Grey soon. Highly recommended for special occasions or anytime you want elevated, memorable dining in Austin!

The food is excellent, the environment very comfortable, and the staff is so friendly and professional. One of our favorite restaurants in all of Austin.

We enjoyed several globally influenced southern dishes with an excellent wine pairing recommendation from Kevin. We tried the crudo, fusilli, squash, pork chop and chicken + the sourdough dessert. All were excellent.

We had a large Christmas party at Arlo Grey and I must say, I was incredibly impressed with everything. The coordinator, employees and food. I highly recommend this place for all events!
