Tapas Restaurants in Austin, TX

“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“

“Had an amazing experience for our Wedding Anniversary. We had a 9pm reservation. Since our bar reservation wasn’t immediately available, they offered us a complimentary glass of sparkling wine. Then the wait staff offered us another option upstairs since it would be available prior to our bar reservation (which was preferred but not initially available when I made the reservation). Our waiter Forrest was Amazing and explained everything very well. The drinks, bruschetta with prime steak trimmings, main course (NY Strip w/bone), tagliolini w/fresh blue crab, gem Caesar salad, Tiramisu and Gelati (salted caramel) were all AMAZING. Had a memorable moment with my wife and greatly was appreciated! Also the staff had a signed Happy Anniversary Card at the table upon our arrival.“

“highly recommend from a Vietnamese who know good authentic Vietnamese pho“

“Love winding down with a drink at the Analog Bar before calling it a night. I like the vibes / atmosphere of this Hilton Hotel Bar. The food is tasty & service is good - it can get a little slow depending on whether there are 1 or 2 bartenders. However, most of the time you see the bartender/s hustling and doing their best! We loved sharing the Goat Cheese Italian Sausage Flatbread as a late night dinner. Super yummy!“

“Would not recommend... service was extremely slow! They brought me the wrong food, then they still got my order wrong when they brought the right order... Service was awful! Tea glass was empty through most of my meal, didn't bring a refill until I was done eating! Would not recommend!!! Server just threw stuff on the table with attitude as they walked by the table, didn't even stop!!! Been waiting 15 minutes for my ticket... WOW! 30 minutes and still waiting!!!😡🤬“

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

“I love this place! I own a cat lounge just a couple of blocks down the street, and this has become one of my favorite stops on my way home. I am absolutely obsessed with their frozen Mexican martinis, although after my second visit, I learned my lesson: if I have more than one, I am no good the next day!

They also have some really great specials:

Daily Happy Hour | 5–6 PM
Half off frozen cocktails and French fries.

Wednesdays | All Day
$15 Happy Meals featuring a Wagyu smashburger, French fries, and your choice of a mini cocktail.

Sundays | All Day
Half-price martinis!

The restaurant itself is spacious and inviting, with a great outdoor patio. Food-wise, I thoroughly enjoyed the baguette & butter, truffle deviled eggs, ricotta cavatelli, and especially the smoked fish dip—it was fantastic.

Great food, great drinks, and a fun atmosphere. It has quickly become one of my favorite neighborhood spots!“

“We enjoy Garbo’s, it’s great having fresh seafood right here in Drippin’. Today we both had Hatch chili dishes with shrimp and it was delicious. Service was excellent. Go there!“

“Had a great experience at Bar AC with Jerome being our bartender. He took extra time and care to make our favorite cocktails and even recommended some he thought we would like. Tried the blood orange margarita and it was excellent. Thank you Jerome for making our Friday evening that much more special.“

“One of my favorite Ramen spots in Austin“

“The Grove is always perfect for us. We enjoy the food, the wine flights with great choices to choose from and the service are always the best. We enjoyed the outdoor seating for the first time in a year and it was ideal! Good friends, great food and drink, and wonderful service. Great!“

“We enjoyed our visit to space cowboy it was nice and dark the ambience was so relaxing all the decor was beautiful and the little spaceship trains were just an added touch and delight. The food was delicious something different to try other than your regular go to restaurants definitely recommend a place in the staff of course we're on point and very attentive. Thank you“

“Food was great we will definitely be back.“

“Mike is basically a cocktail wizard. The man has the skill, wisdom, and creativity of someone who probably dreams in martini shakers and bitters. Meanwhile, my wife and I kept ordering vodka club sodas. Watching him craft these jaw-dropping works of mixology art for other customers while I pointed at a bottle of vodka felt like asking Picasso to draw me a stick figure.

When we first got there I ordered a Stella and quietly stared at the bar, questioning my life choices. Honestly, I felt like I was disrespecting his Hogwarts-level bartending diploma.

But here’s the thing—Mike still treated us like royalty and made our night at The Domain unforgettable. Do yourself a favor: go see him, ask for the “good stuff,” and prepare to watch him work magic that’ll make you rethink every drink you’ve ever ordered.

The hotel and the WXYZ bar are dog friendly so it’s beautiful to have a drink and pet a dog.“

“Fabulous friendly and knowledgeable staff, great atmosphere whether you want to kibitz with others or work quietly alone. Great option from the sports bars, healthier food options. The way things are with the airlines these days, this is a good respite!“

“It was our first time to the Highball . The 80's band was great. The bar staff were quick and professional. Sound system rocks and very clean. They could position there out door sign better and there kisok parking system was very confusing.“

“Very clean and staff super nice“
