We were both pleasantly surprised by this spot. Food and wine were exceptional. We did the chef's fixed course and everything was a 10/10. Our waitress Madeline was very nice and attentive. Would love to come back.

All I can say is WOW! We came in for our honeymoon and had the most exquisite time! Between the cozy atmosphere and the best service in the world (Clinton is the best and walked us through the menu to help us have the hest experience) it felt like having dinner with a close friend, that is if your friend could make the best steak you've ever had in your life!! There wasnt a bad thing we ate, from the crab fingers to the chocolate crémeux dessert everything was delicious, there isn't a bad choice! Thank you so much for making our evening special, we absolutely will be back!!

Michelin level food and drink in a very casual and relaxing setting. The menu has both staples and changes with seasonal local market choices.The outdoor garden area is magical under a canopy of ancient oak trees. Whenever I am in Austin I make it a point to eat there.

Loved eating in the covered outdoor area. The food was fantastic and so was our server! The bulgogi tartare was our favorite!

We came down from Dallas and were excited to try farm to table food . The service was absolutely amazing! The hostess the waitress and the entire team were kind and helpful. The food was a disappointment. We did the fixed menu. The oysters and crab were good. The second dish was almost inedible for us. It was really off putting and we didn't eat it. The whole fish was cooked well. The dessert was good but not great. For the price of the food we were underwhelmed. The atmosphere was pleasant and clean. Unfortunately I don't think we would return do to leaving still hungry almost $300+ later.

Nice place, tables for 2 were small and a bit close together, but no problem. Enjoyable meal with creative dishes. Surprised us with a celebratory glass of cava! We sincerely appreciate the hospitality.

Our dinner was absolutely delightful. We booked here for a birthday dinner after a recommendation and we were not disappointed. Everything was wonderful. It’s such a cute little place on the inside and the vibes were perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed the vintage/antique china and silverware used throughout our meal. Such a cute little touch.
Our server, Madelyn was absolutely lovely and made our experience even better. She was on top of everything, perfectly coursed out our selections, gave the best recommendation for wine, and was so sweet.
The kitchen was so impressive. It’s incredibly tiny (you can see into the kitchen in the dining room) and they put out some of the best unique dishes we’ve had in a while. It seemed to run like a well oiled machine with just two men cooking everything. Mind blown.
Thank you guys all so much for a great birthday dinner and making me feel special. We’ll for sure be recommending Lenoir to others and we’ll be back!
10/10

Food was ordinary. Had the oysters, street corn, crab fingers, tartare, the hush puppies, and one other thing that I don’t remember. Nothing was particularly special or delicious. We were two and bill was about $200 for above, 2 cocktails, a beer, and a vermut. Was expensive considering the food was underwhelming. The outside seating area is beautiful and the service was great.

Very beautiful place, the food was okay for the price. Definitely not filling and not super flavorful. But the outside area was nice and the wine was great as well

Man oh man, what an experience my husband and I had the other night at Lenoir. I'll start with the ambiance- we sat outside under beautiful trees with sparkly hanging lights. It was so romantic and beautiful. The food, OMG! Creative, innovative, and so so sooooo tasty! After days of TX BBQ, I was craving some greens and ordered the apple salad. Best salad I have ever had. My husband and I are still talking about that salad! Everything was absolutely phenomenal. The wine list was extensive and included some great bottles. Lastly, the service- Madalyn provided exceptional and warm service. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and truly a bright light. We love to meet new people when we travel and Madalyn was exceptional and made our experience at Lenoir's top notch! To the whole team at Lenoir's- you are doing a fantastic job and have something really special and magical going on. I'll book a trip to Austin just to visit Lenoir! Hats off to you all :)

Honestly, I’m surprised you don’t have to book this place a month in advance. The food is exceptional, whereas other restaurants that have a lot of hype in Austin don’t know how to even season their food properly. The atmosphere is welcoming, relaxing, almost like you’re in a friend’s home. Here’s a tip: order the Pullman bread and the crab fingers, and dip the Pullman bread into the leche de tigre. You’ll lose your mind.

We had a fantastic dinner - the oysters with the chili mignonette were a great start, along with the crab fingers in the curry and leche de tigre sauce (I could drink that) - super bright and unexpected twist on the usual garlic & butter. Also had the Pullman's bread and pimento cheese, also a star, and don't dismiss the chow-chow - deep purple delicious. The flat iron steak was perfectly prepared, and the Parmesan butter finish with the chimichurri was a great touch. Our waitress was great, provided thoughtful descriptions, answered (mostly) dumb questions and gave excellent recommendations.
Parking here can be a challenge when it's busy, but street parking is available a block away
