We had a lovely dinner at Arlo Grey. The food was outstanding! We had the crispy rice, rabbit dumplings, and halibut and all were so delicious! We were celebrating my husband's birthday and were seated at a beautiful table with a nice card for him! Would definitely recommend a visit!
Infinite stars!!! Everything is perfect every single time I visit here, I feel amazing leaving Arlo Grey. Already wish I was back!!!!!!! Kristen Kish is the absolute best hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aldo Grey was the first of our culinary journey in Austin and we were very excited for the experience. Service overall was slower than expected and our server forgot to bring our drinks. The food however, did not disappoint. It was creative, different from the norm and delicious! We ordered too many dishes, but enjoyed them all anyway. I would recommend checking out Arlington Grey if in Austin!

All of the food we tried was amazing, as was the service! Very nice atmosphere, cozy seating, and so neat looking out through the trees at what was going on outside. Would definitely go back!!

Thought we would try it since we were in town. Personal expectation was high. Not exactly sure what I expected but this was not it. Went with price fixed menu, since four of the items would have been what would have chosen. I found that char-grill flavor dominated a number of the items and the number of competing elements caused a confusion with my palette. Waiter was nice but not very interactive so overall experience was dampened a bit. Saw other staff very engaged with their tables and that was nice to see. Space is very open so sound levels with patrons and the music was a bit distracting. Finally, the staff seemed to set up a makeshift office/break room in the southeast corner of the restaurant. My table was right next to this and the activity was visible to me since they chose not to close the curtain. I could also overhear their conversations and laughter. Staff would go in and out, joking loudly and having breaks, and eating.

Oh dear…I fear this place dines out more on its location and former reputation than it should.During our vacation to Austin, we visited this restaurant on the recommendation of our, well, two-year-old guidebook. Safe to say we were left disappointed.We were seated at the end of the bar and found it virtually impossible to get service. When we did get attention, they then forgot half of our order. Really not fantastic.They also forgot cutlery… which led to myself roving the restaurant like a hawk in order to snap up a knife and fork from an unattended table. Asking staff for help was out of the question, as none were to be found. (For those interested, I did succeed dear reader - managing to pilfer the desired implements from a table near the window)After finishing off the half of our meal that did arrive, we paid and left.Can’t say I am itching with excitement to come again

We haven't had a meal this good in a while!Simple perfection. Incredible execution. I'll be dreaming of the smokey sourdough, and whoever says that? One of the few times when your expectations are exceeded. The only qualm I had with the experience was that the lighting was so low (which I liked), that the pictures didn't come out well. Finally, the two of us ate and drank deliciously made cocktails (let Ethan make one up for you!), all that, AND a generous tip, for less than $200!
The service at Arlo Grey is impeccable, with an attentive staff who are passionate about providing a memorable dining experience. The menu from Chef Alex is a mix of creativity and innovation, offering a tantalizing selection of dishes that showcase the finest ingredients sourced from local producers and suppliers. From the fresh Tuna Crudo to the creamy Burrata, there's something to please every palate. One standout dish is the Crispy Rice, a unique must order again experience. The flavors are outstanding, with each component complementing the other to create a joy of taste sensations. From the creative mind of Top Chef winner Kristin Kish, Arlo Grey is more than just a restaurant – it's an experience. From the exquisite cuisine to the impeccable service and inviting ambiance, every aspect of the dining experience is crafted to perfection. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to indulge in a culinary adventure, Arlo Grey is sure to delight and impress.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful meal and experience. From the first moment of being greeted by the lovely hostess we knew we would have a great dining experience. Our server was amazing and attentive. His recommendations and suggestions were spot on. Then he guided us through the meal and ensured a great dinner service.We thoroughly enjoyed our food. The flavor profiles were delicate, and nuanced in the most sophisticated way. Every bite was delicious and left us wanting more. Have to mention that Hey My Seoul Sister cocktail was so sublime. I heart it. We look forward to eating here again next time we visit Austin.

Beautiful space with great views. We had attentive service from Krista, who had a clear passion for food and people. She was the best part of our experience! The food was delicious and everything was so intentional. The crispy rice was our favorite dish! Overall a fantastic time.
So very disappointing. Nothing was noteworthy. Service was bad. Food was meh. Nothing stood out.

Although the food and drinks were slow in getting out to us, our server was very apologetic and gave us periodic updates throughout the process. When we did get our order, it was great! THE best burratta I've had in my entire life, and the steamed buns were inspired. Happy to support a queer owned business.

Food was good, service poor. Took 20min to get a server to our table. By that time , we knew what we wanted. We knew what we wanted and ordered right away. Received our first course within 5 minutes. We had no utensils, napkins or water. Received our cocktails. She left so quickly we couldn't ask for water. Server never came back. Finally stopped a random member of staff to ask for everything. Took 40 minutes to receive water from when we sat. Took another 30 minutes to receives next courses.

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal experience starting at the bar where the bartender created an alcohol-free cocktail for me that was sumptuous. Everyone was fantastic. Kevin was a fabulous server who enhanced our meal with his guidance and explanations. It was a delightful evening for us all.
