“I recently dined at this place and was thoroughly impressed. The food was exceptional, with each dish bursting with authentic flavors. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance was inviting. I can’t wait to return for another delicious meal.“
“Decided to stop here since I was staying at the hotel next door. The food was amazing!!!! My coworker and I got the Crab Louie Wedge, the Wood Grilled Ruby Red Trout along with the ceviche and a 2 Peruvian Scallops. And of course we had to have dessert which was the Heath Bar Brownie. We would order it all again and again ?Our server was as sweet as can be and very polite. Got the Rum Runner drink which was good yet a little strong. ? Looking forward to coming back for sure!“
“Probably the best food in this area. Seems very authentic with good vibes from the staff! Had a hotel up here in North Austin for sxsw and there were no options, luckily we stumbled onto this place. Mouthwatering delicious appetizers and dolma and hummus. Dessert was so good we got double to take to go.“
“We live out of town, but go to Austin frequently for plays/concerts at the Bass Center on the UT campus. We wanted something close by (10 minutes away) and light. This fit perfectly. The specialty drinks are amazing, and bar delection is good. The wine list is small, and nothing really special. The food is fresh, tasty and good portions. We each had the tuna poke bowl and a pavlova shared for dessert. The place looks rather plain from the outside, and has a euro-minimalist look inside. The waitstaff is nice and helpful. Our waitress was from Belarus, and most of the staff seems eastern European, which explains the Euro-bistro feel. HIghly recommend!“
“Great food, service, and atmosphere. We have been 4-5 times (live in the neighborhood) in the past 3 years and always leave going “dang, we should go there more.” Also, prices are very fair and they didn’t go crazy with increases during or after the pandemic. Good date spot or dinner with friends.“
“I've been back for brunch and dinner on numerous occasions. Brunch is still terrific whether it's the Benny or the zucchini bread or the popovers or... Burger is big and juicy. We've never had a bad fish. Done holiday take out too. It's fun to sit at the counter and watch the kitchen action. The prices remain reasonable. Enjoyed sitting outside for a change.“
“AKB hotel bar inside The Archer Hotel.Friendly, attentive and prompt staff and service.Lovely views, welcoming atmosphere and cozy Texas ambiance, restaurant is kid friendly and conveniently located inside The Archer on the North side of The Domain area.Brick oven pizza while very cheesy was just okay. Menus included a variety of unique appetizers, entrees and signature drinks. The bartender offered a small sample of selections we were considering which was a nice option.Would recommend stopping by if in the area.Parking: Parking available street-side or in the Nordstrom parking garage. The Domain also offers valet service.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly seating areas, inviting and interesting area .“
“This wonderful spot has become a place I frequently go to in my neighborhood for coffee and pastries. We've taken friends their for wine and conversation. And occasionally several of us in the neighborhood will meet up there. The place has an outstanding selection wine, great coffee, and comfortable atmosphere.“
“The food was really good, but what stood out to me was the service! It was our first time coming in, and they brought us some free desserts to enjoy after our meal! They checked up on us to make sure we enjoyed everything during our meal too. I would definitely come back to try the rest of their menu. The inside of the restaurant was really cute and homey.“
“Nice little cozy Mexican and Italian fusion place we recently discovered in the Round rock area . Ambiance was very pretty with a Mexican theme going on . The food had two sections - one Italian based and the other was Mexican based . We ordered one on each side - pollo ala chipotle and pollo con pasta (marinara based). The Mexican chipotle chicken was exceptional with tender cooked chicken and salsa was amazing and one of the most authentic ones we have tasted in Texas! The pollo con pasta was a bit disappointing because the chicken had a raw smell and pasta okay . Would not order that dish again and can try the white sauce based dishes next time . They had both wine and cocktails which worked for our pairing of dishes . One of the strongest margaritas we have tasted ! Our waitress was acting a bit non responsive initially but later was communicative . Would return here for the Mexican dishes, ambiance and cocktails !“

“I usually stop at Fleming’s for happy hour but Friday we decided to drop in for dinner. This is a great spot for a quiet dinner. The food and service are great. I will say not all their side dishes are the same quality so choose carefully, but the steaks are perfect every time. They have a great wine selection and some glasses are very reasonably priced for the quality. All in all great experience for a quiet dinner“
“This place. I would give them 10 out of 10 stars if it were possible. Ambiance- such a fun place with so much to look around and see. Great people watching here, and the restaurant itself is inviting. I personally love the communal long tables. Kid friendly, too! Service- fantastic! Our server was so helpful and had the best recommendations. Very attentive and so friendly. Food- the salad was much bigger than I thought it would be and I felt everything was reasonably priced. Happy hour is an awesome deal. Love this place so much and I will be back!“
“Favorite place in Austin on my short weekend visit. The wine was incredible -- I would have brought some home if I had not had only carry on bags. My favorite was the blueberry and second was the current wine I believe it was? Tasted like the current wine Marilla made in Anne of Green Gables (shoutout to anyone who knows what I'm talking about lol). Service was great and the live music was a hit. Love the big comfy chairs too.“
“If you're looking for a REAL wine bar in Austin with wonderful choices of exceptional and unusual wines and complimentary cuisine in perfect pairings - Aviary is the place. The staff were friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and obviously loved where they work.Each main dish and salad were fresh, perfectly prepared, flavorfully creative and very delicious. I've got to say, don't miss the amazing Tulsi and Thai basil ice cream with the olive oil cake for dessert. The Palo Santo ice cream was also quite a unique treat, but the serving could've been bigger to share. Charmng, colorful, upbeat, non pretentious, moderately quiet with good acoustics thoughout so we could enjoy our conversation without raising our voices. Thank you Aviary for making our celebration special.A great experience!“
“This place is very unique and comfortable. Limited menu of well chosen sandwiches and appetizers. We didn't drink, but the bar looked amazing. The sign outside does not say The Watering Trough, so it was hard to find until I looked at the picture of the building.Kid-friendliness: Only three tables of people when we were there but we all had kids with us. Noon on a Sunday.Wheelchair accessibility: Our son is not in a wheelchair but has mobility issues and development delays, so I am always looking for places without stairs and wide open spaces between tables. The staff were patient while he ordered his own food and spoke to him kindly, rather than talking to me for him. I appreciate that so much!“
“My wife and I have wanted to visit and finally just did and damn glad we did. Sat on a nice patio with breeze and nice sky and sunset views around a massive oak tree. Reuben, the manager took care of us extremely well. We chose a couple different glasses that he gave great views on and was right on the money. The white truffle popcorn with butter, Parm and parsley was great but Danielle's pizza was awesome. Chatted with Ruben once done and he made us want to become regulars here. Met owners Danielle and Jeff, and complimented both on the food. Looking forward to our next visit for the Good Stock dinner with wines event. This place is a local gem and so glad we finally "discovered" it!!!!“

“I was a few minutes late our server Marissa was super accommodating. The goat cheese beignets were everything I wanted them to be, the staff did not skimp on the champagne for the mimosas, and the cobbsalad was excellent. CEU'S chef was gracious enough to come by our table to give us a quick lesson on black and white truffles. I highly recommend this restaurant.“
“Great atmosphere and wine. All Texas wines, with some great vineyards I haven’t seen before. Friendly, bright, with lots of wood tones giving a relaxing vibe. Lots of non-alcoholic options when needed. FYI no food, but you can bring your own and multiple good restaurants and bakeries next door.“
