“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.“

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

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

“Emy was our server and she did an amazing job, food came out quick, she made sure she checked up on us to see if we needed anything else and the most important part was her friendliness her smile she made us feel very welcomed!!! We will return !“

“Great food. Nice service 👏“

“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?“

“We had an amazing experience! The food was delicious, everything came out fresh and full of flavor. The service was excellent from start to finish, and our server, Kolt, was absolutely amazing. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal.“

“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.“

“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“

“Went to Geraldine’s for brunch on our last full day in Austin after reading good reviews, we were not disappointed! The atmosphere was welcoming and service was noticeable from front house staff to our server. Matt O was great - very attentive, friendly, and gave us a few laughs. The food was great and came at a competitive price to other restaurants of Geraldine’s level. Extremely satisfying and would go back in a heartbeat!“

“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!!!“

“Space Cowboy is such a fun little escape. The vibe is quirky, colorful, and effortlessly cool, making it perfect for drinks and catching up with friends. The cocktails were creative, the atmosphere was lively, and the whole place just feels very Austin in the best way. The service was 10/10 ❤“

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

“Just had another great night with friends on the patio. Trent needs a raise! Amazing friendly service 🫶🏼

We sat on the patio and enjoyed the evening weather. Taylor was a star! She made suggestions for different types of IPA’s for us to try and get out of comfort zone. We decided to treat ourselves to some wings and onion rings. They were above average, but being outside the rings came out cold. Still better than most places and we had a relaxing dinner.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“Amazing. I’ve been 4 times and just discovered the upstairs level which is a very different chill vibe compared to the vibrant scene downstairs. The food has always been amazing with great service. This will become my go to step up restaurant. The real winner is the double in-bone pork chop. Best in the city. And yes, better than Perry’s at a much more reasonable price. And the cajun cream corn gets rave reviews too.“

“Madeline eloquently presented, explained, and described the menu. She endlessly and patiently answered questioned and shared preference when asked.

5 star service and 5 star atmosphere and 5 star on the food

Food was much tastier than expected and highly recommend the pork chops which were unbelievably tender.

The atmosphere is classy, modern, stylish, yet relaxed and welcoming.

Enjoy.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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 😋“

“Fun, vibrant atmosphere. Great service and a menu with lots of variety and flavor. Wonderful addition to Circle C! 😊“

“Punch Bowl Social is an absolute blast! Amazing food, creative cocktails, and endless entertainment — bowling, darts, karaoke, and more all under one roof. Staff are energetic and friendly, and the vibe is unmatched. Perfect for groups, date nights, or birthdays. Always a great time.“

“Love the food, and the service! Will be back“
