so may be slightly biased but review is honest none the less. a+ wagyu tartar. brisket bolonaise and burger. half off cocktails for happy hour. nuff said.
Super disappointed in the at customer service here. For some reason whether it was a glitch or my Resy account got hacked. But there were two cancellations for the same date so I got charged $60 each, $120 total for not showing up. I wasn’t even in Austin the day of the reservations. I emailed Resy and they said it’s up to the restaurant and the restaurant isn’t refunding me since their a small company.
Had a great time at this new restaurant! Started with Rabbit Rillettes, bone marrow, and shrimp wrapped in prosciutto apps. The shrimp was my fav but all really delicious. Chestnut & celery root purée soup was creamy and tasty, a real winner, and loved the toasted meat on top! Went for the mussels in white wine cream sauce for dinner—perfect size and super delicious with the shoestring fries on top. And the canoli with caramelized banana??? Easily one of the best I've ever...read full review

Gina's on Congress offers an exceptional dining experience with a warm and professional service. The restaurant features an impressive wine list and knowledgeable staff who provide personalized recommendations. The menu includes a variety of dishes, such as appetizers like rabbit rillette and gougeres, and entrees like poached halibut and lamb shank. Customers praise the beautiful presentation and consistently spectacular food. Recent reviews highlight standout dishes like the Texas redfish and steak, which are described as delicious and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The atmosphere is lively, though some found it loud, and the outdoor seating area can have an odd smell, so inside tables are recommended. Portions tend to be larger than expected for some, prompting dessert orders. The dessert menu includes items like Tiramisu marquise. The restaurant is well-suited for brunch, dinner, or special occasions, and is enjoyed as a romantic venue that is friendly and not pretentious. Overall, Gina's is a must-visit for those seeking delicious food and a great dining experience.
