We celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary at Mongers last night. We tried six different items on the menu. All were perfectly cooked, tasted exquisite, and were beautifully presented.
We tried both of the soups on the menu. Of the two, we liked the Seafood Chowder best. The other choice was a Crab and Shrimp Gumbo. Generous different kinds of seafood in each dish.
We also had the Blue Crab Cake and Burrata dishes. The latter did not have tomatoes with the cheese, which it is traditionally paired with, instead arugula and a fig marmalade accompanied it. The crab cake was stuffed with crab and very little filler (which is the mark of a good cake). Served with a smoked tomato aioli.
Finally, we sampled the daily crudo (tuna) and daily ceviche (scallops). They were the stars of the meal. Both so delicate and presented wonderfully, but also they tasted the best.
Service was excellent, attentive but not overwhelming. Paired dinner with a French Sauvignon Blanc. We were treated to dessert to celebrate. A nice touch to an amazing meal. Thank you!
False advertisement! The website says the fish market is open until 6:30. Walked in at 5:30 and the employee says it’s closed. If it doesn’t stay open that late then why would you have the wrong hours on your website? Doesn’t make any sense. And the employee did not even apologize, he just said “what do you want?”

Mongers is a fantastic spot for seafood lovers! The restaurant itself was beautiful. The vibes were chill and upscale, making it a perfect place for a weekday lunch. While it’s a bit on the pricier side, the quality of the food makes it well worth it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an elevated seafood meal.

Absolutely LOVE this place! My wife and I go to celebrate there whenever we can for something like obtaining a Masters Degrees to celebrating Birthdays. Food is great, staff are wonderful, prices are fair, and the restaurant is charming. 10/10

Truly a local gem. You can not find better seafood in Austin. The chef had this placed dialed in. We will be back again soon.
My husband loves coming here for lunch because of the fish sandwich. It’s reminiscent of something we’d get in Florida. It’s $24 with a good portion of grouper plus fries. It’s always just done so well!
I usually get the gulf red snapper and it’s pretty good too. Not the best, but for a quick lunch and only for $25 it’s a great deal. I feel like if I got the same plate any where else in Austin it’d be $35+.
Quality of food is great too. The atmosphere is beachy, but tasteful and since they moved here from the east side, it’s also a larger space that accommodates more.

Great seafood restaurant in Hyde Park. The service was spectacular and our waiter was happy to offer recommendations for our meal. Each dish was thoughtfully crafted and the flavors and preparations were exactly to my liking. We loved everything we tried and I will definitely be returning for more!

Fantastic seafood restaurant! It’s difficult to find good seafood in Austin, but this place doesn’t disappoint. We went there on a Friday night (reservation made earlier in the day). Service was a bit slow, but our waitress was apologetic. She was knowledgeable and even comped us an appetizer due to some of the delays. My wife had the snapper, which was delicious, and I had their special, the grouper. Both dishes were delightful and refreshing. We also shared the smoked fish dip with their house chips, the crudo, and ceviche. All three appetizers were tasty and well-portioned. We will definitely be coming back!

I've only been here twice. Visits that were very spread apart as well. Think 7 years or so. Each visit was amazing.
The 2cd visit I had the fish and chips and a dozen oysters. East coast from a few different locations. They're a fish market, so you would hope they have great seafood -- and they do!
Oysters are just perfect and the fish and chips is light, crispy, and not greasy. Unlike bd rileys fish n chips which are soaked in a bed of grease and feels like you ate a bowling ball
Great place, I'll be back!
