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“

“The food was excellent, especially the pasta with crab! Our server Miles was attentive and had great recommendations. The restaurant's vibe is perfect for dinner, and it definitely lives up to the hype. The pasta comes in two sizes, and the larger one is great for sharing. I can't wait to come back!“

“This bar and restaurant had a great taste! The was good and the service was friendly. This is a great place to come if you're staying here! It's also a nice place to hang out and enjoy some friends. The chicken sandwich was amazing and so was the flatbread.“

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

“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.“

“We hosted a work event at Holiday and had the best experience! From planning through day of the event, we got real white glove service! Their event coordinator is wonderful, our day of contact and the person in charge of our group that evening were so on top of it, super kind and attentive, and just made the whole evening feel really special. Drinks are the best in town (alcoholic and N/A alike), food was delicious, and the space was beautiful and felt really special. We can't wait to host another event at Holiday!“

“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!!!😡🤬“

“Grove Wine Bar & Kitchen at Northwest Hills has carved out a comfortable niche as a reliable go-to in this part of Austin. The kitchen puts out quality food, and the happy hour gives you a good reason to stop in early. The staff was genuinely friendly throughout the visit, the kind of attentive without being intrusive that is harder to find than it should be.

Two things to know going in: the dining room runs loud when it fills up, which can make conversation a bit of a project, and the pricing sits at the higher end of the casual dining range. Neither is a dealbreaker, but both are worth setting expectations around.

All in, it is a good spot. The experience is consistent, the wine list gives you options, and the vibe is neighborly in the best sense.“

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

“One of my favorite Ramen spots in Austin“

“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!“

“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 ❤“

“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.“

“Visited Highball on Saturday and enjoyed the experience! We celebrated a birthday and got to enjoy the Super Mario Bros themed room. Lots of songs to choose from, even some obscure ones that I didn't expect to find in there (Lemon Demon, Weird Al, lots of Broadway songs, etc). Just be sure to validate your parking as you check in and you should get 4 hours for free. :)“

“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!“

“Pork burger, patatas bravas, and charros were amazing 10/10. Bolognese bland, French fries over done. The pudding was more southern style than Mexican and dry cookie but i had it without ice cream.
