New American Restaurants in Austin, TX

“Incredible. The drinks and food were insane. The broccoli dish we had was the best thing I've had in a long time. The service was also outstanding. Super pleased with our experience!“

“This is a small, cosy restaurant with a fusion of Mediterranean and Indian flavours using local, seasonal ingredients from Texas. The restaurant offers a four-course prix fixe menu with sophisticated and creative food (Time Out Worldwide) (The Texas Tasty).“

“This restaurant has a great vibe, friendly staff and Edward, the manager, that is on top of his game. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone for a date night, festive office or birthday party or just a fun place to have a drink and get to know other people.“

“The Butternut Squash was very delicious and Jaycee? Jacie? Was amazing.“

“We’d hoped to go to Mozarts next door but it was sold out for Christmas Lights. We decided to try Quince since we had spent time getting there and parking. We asked if we could sit near the water and they took us to a table one row away (the rest was booked). Happy Hour was almost over but our waiter Baddi said we had enough time to order. He recommended a margarita/sangria mix which was yummy. We ordered the HH brisket fries and Tuna Wontons. Everything was delicious and Baddi’s service was excellent. At one point the music got really loud, which started to annoy us, till we looked out over the water and a slack rope walker was performing over the water. It was quite a show! He later did the same thing over one of their outdoor decks on the other side. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and were surprised so few of the indoor seats were full. If they opened their door and made it more welcoming, we thought a lot more people would have come over as the outside areas were packed for the lights.“

“Fabulous dinner staff and chef amazing“

“My wife and I couldn’t be happier with our meal and the service at Dai Due. Everything we had was beyond delicious and we had a kind and attentive server who was able to answer our questions and her recommendations were on point. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!“

“I want to give a shout out to a wonderful new restaurant here in South Austin, specifically the Brodie/Slaughter area. It's called The Local, and it's a delight. The decor is warm and inviting--no chrome or glass and no tvs blaring sports. We were pleased to see that the place was busy at 7 on a Tuesday, it's such a welcoming sound. The food was perfectly prepared and artfully presented, simple, no frufru. The service was terrific, sharp, prompt and helpful. We met the owner and were delighted to learn that this is not part of a chain or even a 'group' as they call them now, but a single family operation. We'd love to see them succeed, if only for the slightly selfish reason that it's nice to go to a good restaurant without having to drive a long way. It's just a few minutes down the street and you may be sure we'll be going back. We need more of these kinds of joints down here. Fair warning, it's not cheap, but then what is these days?“

“David our waiter was amazing! The food was absolutely delicious, highly recommend and we will be back #hookemhorns“

“Some of the best food I’ve tasted. Those oysters are mind blowing! Great staff.“

“The whole meal was enjoyable. Great staff and even better food. You should definitely check this place out !!“

“This sopapilla pudding is outstanding! Run don’t walk to try this! 😍💕❤️ Along with the exceptional staff this is absolutely wonderful!“

“The exterior look does not even hint at the interior space vibe. The cloud lighting and effects with tracked robot delivery pods is a unique vibe.
As a first-time visitor, the whole restaurant experience was quite eclectic; additionally, we were celebrating a birthday.
We decided to try several popular appetizers, sides and entrees, then share amongst ourselves.
The duck ravioli appeared to be rich but the sauce was lighter than you may suspect. It was nice to share between the four of us.
Our appetizer choices were Space Balls and Seared Brocollini. They were a good start and an opportunity to test out the robot delivery system.
For mains, we had the Duck Ravioli and 2 Braised Short Ribs. Substituted Stardust and Regular Fries for the vanilla mashed potatoes since we weren't willing to have a double serving of an unknown entity.
After sharing the prior servings, we added 3 Cowboy Sliders to feel satiated.
The birthday dessert was a seasonal pear tart with ice cream.
Our server, Mike, was extremely helpful in selecting drinks, food and negotiating the overall flow of the restaurant. It was slightly busy and noisy but still conversable.
The robot may occasionally stop and offer unsolicited servings but they shouldn't be taken.
Reservations are recommended, parking appears available but we walked.“

“Excellent food, so many draft beer options.. get on the wait list early on the weekends, it can be a little bit chaos around dinner time.. Meat bones for the puppies if you're lucky 😉 also, though the music is great, I didn't enjoy yelling at my friends across our table“

“Love it here! Fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere.“

“My husband went on a date night. This was our first time at Sixty Vines. Everyone there was super friendly. Our waiter Jesse was great. He was very informative about the food & drinks. I had a sangria & my husband had a vodka cranberry. Both drinks where perfectly made. We had 3 appetizers, shrimp, burrata & bacon wrap dates. For dinner we had salmon & the rigatoni. The food was great. We will be recommending this place to others.“

“Excellent menu for all occasions. My top pick for the austin area. ❤️“

“Acre 41 in the Marriott Autograph Otis is a gem in Austin Texas. With a premier bartender who makes exquisite drinks of his own design to classics is an adventure. The food and ambience of the restaurant is high quality with unique dishes. We had the 14 oz New York Strip with sides of charred carrots and twice baked potato. We also had the wedge salad that could be a meal itself. GOOD food!“

“As with President’s House Coffee, Capital A is best approached with the knowledge that you’re paying for the convenience of not having to venture outside. And, as with President’s House, it’s respectable by hotel dining standards.

I stopped by for breakfast on my last day in town and was seated promptly. After considering the assortment of omelets, sandwiches, and other fare (including, surprisingly shakshuka), I opted for the migas tacos. They came filled with beef, eggs, jalapenos, pico de gallo, and cheese, and they were paired with potato wedges. The tacos were definitely a knife-and-fork rather than a handheld affair, and they delivered all the right flavor notes. The accompanying potatoes were well-seasoned and perfectly crisp. All told, it made for a salty but satisfying and filling meal.“

“The steak frites were absolutely perfect—tender, flavorful, and cooked just right, with crispy fries that complemented the dish beautifully. Danny, the bartender, made the experience even better with outstanding service. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was spot on. Great food, great drinks, and top-tier hospitality. I’ll definitely be back!“

“The staff was very friendly and the food was excellent.“

“We visited "STELLA SAN JAC" during our Austin trip... and we had a great time. We tried several of the best and most inspiring cocktails we've ever tasted. Manager Edwin put us at ease with the best comfortable service, and every cocktail he recommended we were very impressed with. I will definitely recommend my friends to visit this place, I want to go back and try the cocktail again on my next business trip.“

“From start to finish, this dining experience was absolutely perfect. Our waiter was easy to talk to and knowledgeable of the menu. The starters were probably my favorite, but everything we ordered was flavored to perfection. We will be back“

“Marissa and Chloe were phenomenal bartenders. Marissa suggested The crispy chicken ranch with spicy Thai & it was great. The ambience was such a vibe. I’ll be back for some football and beer!!!“

“everything in life will be muted and dull until I return to Olamaie it is exceptional to the point that I have lost sense of punctuation and capitalization truly“

“Great food. Nice service 👏“

“Delicious brunch. Every dish we ordered was beyond my expectations!“

“Chef’s tasting Menu … Chef Charles is a genius.“

“Colt was an excellent server! He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. He checked in at the right times without being intrusive and had a great attitude that made the experience even more enjoyable. His recommendations were helpful and the service was smooth from start to finish. Thanks, Colt, for the great service!“

“Amazing views, great food. A must for most date nights.“

“The food is very well executed and presented, the staff are very attentive.“

“The staff were very attentive and the food was amazing. The cocktails were balanced and expertly presented. I would recommend the horchata sueno cocktail, the nogada beet salad and the al pastor. Everything tasted and looked great. We enjoyed listening to the live music talent, too.“

“Beer is above average. Great staff. My glass never went empty.“

“Tomato grilled peach with shishioto chevre and candied pecans. shitake dumpling with soft scrambled eggs. There wasn't a single bad bite and the wine pairings were spot on. Huge thanks to Barkley Swine for an unforgettable evening.“

“PERFECT!!! That's what describes last night's experience at Bartlett's. My wife ordered the Fish and Shrimp with a small Caesar salad and I got their Famous French Dip sandwich. Everything cooked to perfection!! Our waiter Jeff L was right there every we needed something. An EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE (Again). Have been coming here since 1984 and never a bad experience.“

“This was my first time dining at Velvet Taco and the food and service was great“

“High tea was a fantastic experience overall. For the price, the food and tea was very average (and imo overpriced). But also you get a glass of champagne with the event, and we ordered espresso martinis which were very tasty. The historical building is elegant and added to the experience. The manager was extremely gracious and helped us out when there was an issue with our RSVP. Would recommend it as a one time experience for sure.“

“Great food and wonderful service. Our food was made in a timely fashion and tasted delicious. The wait staff were very friendly. We will definitely be back in the future. Review by Gabriel Culiat“

“The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is really cool and inviting.“

“We celebrated our friend’s Bachelorette party at the Electric Shuffle and had an absolute blast. The food was delicious. The staff were fabulous and lively. And I loved that the shuffle board was electronic - making it easy to keep score, pick different games and provide instruction. Highly recommend!“

“I've only had great experiences here! Many enticing menu options and the restaurant itself has wonderful ambiance, I love looking around at all the beautiful details around the restaurant as I am enjoying my meal. Have had great service the several times I have been.

Can't wait to go back!“

“Good was DELISH!! Music was CRAP! We’re Mexican sooo we wanted Peso Pluma #ThatDidntHapen But as cooky that THEY are Food, Drinks and place are INSANE! If ur a foodie COME it’s all about 🫵🏽“

“My wife took me here yesterday for mt birthday dinner. The atmosphere is Beautiful, sexy, romantic. Food was amazing. Great size portions. Easy shareable. We each ordered a plate from each section of the menu and did not have one complaint. We loved it so much we came back tonight before we left town. We will definitely be back.“

“My friends and I went tonight for the first time to celebrate a friends birthday. The atmosphere was exquisite, staff was impeccable, food was amazing and the Manager Elliot was so awesome!!! For the dining experience we had, they should be charging 2-3x more for their food and we would gladly pay it. It is a small restaurant so reservations are needed to make sure they have availability. I highly recommend The Carillon Restaurant, it’s truly a gem. We will be back very soon 😋“

“✨ Five-Million-Star Vibes at Caroline ✨ If I could bottle the magic of my first visit to Caroline on 7th & Congress, I’d wear it like a signature scent……truly bold, unforgettable, and absolutely divine. From the moment I walked in, the energy was electric. The greeting? Warm and welcoming. The atmosphere? Straight-up banging~~~~~think downtown chic meets effortless cool. Now let’s talk food: exquisite doesn’t even begin to cover it. Every bite was a love letter to flavor •••• rich, balanced, and plated like edible art. The creamy pasta dish? To die for. The vibrant salads? Fresh, fierce, and fabulous. Whoever’s running the kitchen deserves a standing ovation and a key to the city. Service? On-point with a capital P. Attentive without hovering, friendly without being fake, and timed like a well-rehearsed symphony. From the champagne to the check, it was smooth sailing with sparkle. I’m already planning my return ***** heels, appetite, and high expectations in tow. Caroline isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a whole mood. Highly recommend for anyone who loves their dining experience served with style, sass, and a side of downtown dazzle.“

“From the exceptional service to the unforgettable atmosphere and mouthwatering food Lonesome Dove is a must-visit! If you haven’t been yet, you’are seriously missing out!“

“Incredible Deftones Album Release Party for “Private Music”! Great sound system, great bar food (kitchen in-house) incredible bartenders (Molly😊) and did I mention that there’s a sweet-ass record shop here too(?)! If you haven’t been here, you don’t know what you’re missing! Visit their website for the latest release parties, live music, recording sessions, etc., etc. This is Austin at its finest!“

“I had a great Birthday Dinner here with My Little Family. They also gave me a $20.00 gift card for my Birthday for the Fixe Restaurant! 😀 The food is soooo good. There is so much flavor in every bite. 😀“
