“🌱 5 Stars for Flower Child!
As a plant-based family, we LOVE that Flower Child offers so many fresh, healthy options we can actually enjoy together. Our 4-year-old is obsessed with the sweet potatoes and cauliflower—major win! 🙌 Bonus: the atmosphere is absolutely magical. Cozy, vibrant, and full of good vibes. We’ll definitely be back! 💚“

“Service was excellant. Very down home feeling. Food was plentiful and delicious.“

“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!“

“My friends and I had girls night here on a Saturday and it’s definitely an elevated experience! The vibe has a DJ kinda reminding me of Dayclub in Mykonos? The seafood is great and the drinks experience was even better, i definitely recommend“

“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).“

“Amazing food and atmosphere“

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

“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?“

“Fabulous dinner staff and chef amazing“

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

“First time here. Casual restaurant with a sports vibe. Food is great. Sound level is a little tough for conversations. Service was okay except our bill included items we didn’t order, but they fixed it. Casual and similar to the Cheesecake Factory.“

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

“Can not recommend this place enough the service here is beyond comparison the Michelin Star here is well deserved this is a high line, premium experience.“

“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!“

“Went here for my hubby birthday weekend. Soace Cowboy did not disappoint. The food was fantastic but the service was the star. My server Simon and other staff made my family feel welcome & helped us my make my hubby birthday special. It has been a long time since I have tasted such new flavors and fresh takes on food. The corn ribs! The Duck Ravioli! Thank you for a great evening.“

“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.“

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

“Great place to eat. Prime rib was great and the whipped potatoes were to die for. Mocktail was good, too! Jamie was very attentive and maintained a professional presence while being personable and assured I was comfortable and taken care of throughout the meal.“

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

“Sat at the bar. Manny is a phenomenal bartender who made us several awesome, custom creations of his own design. Very impressed by his skill and creativity. If you catch him, ask for his special old fashioned "The Artist in Flight".“

“Alayna was a great waitress super fast and the best service I’ve had!“

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

“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“

“I was impressed. Every dish we ordered was unique and bursting with flavor. The wait staff was amazing and service was fantastic. The details of each dish made this restaurant stand out. I have not been to a restaurant in a long time where I truly felt it was a unique culinary experience and you can really feel how much love the chef is pouring into each entree. Worth every penny.

Be aware that this is modern Asian food integrated with Austin flavors. If you want something traditional, this might not be for you. But, take it from me, you should give it a try with an open mind. Best food in Austin. I never leave reviews, but felt compelled to write this since it was so so so good.“

“Was treated here today, every single dish was over the top. The food was exquisite and delicious. The staff was so friendly and they have such a family atmosphere.“

“Wow que comida!!!! Deliciosa, diferente. Servicio único, limpio, impecable DE LO MEJOR!!!“

“Karaoke mike sound is one of best I ever experienced ( on Thursdays)...really they should do karaoke twice weekly; staff has been courteous and helpful at all times; Their Xmas decorations were very nice in 2021; observed to be attentive to revisiting customers to intercept any additional wants and needs; their management has achieved attracting a very capable and user-friendly karaoke director; the decorative style of the spacing is nicely interesting with huge television screens to attract attention and provide diversion; a little weakness in the spacing of modest tables so one can walk back and forth without accidentally coming too close to others; observed to be an enjoyable place to visit with a comrade for a diversion and conversation with added enjoyment of being entertained on karaoke Thursdays; observed that a modest group of five or six could easily gather themselves around a table with some optional spacing towards the back that (if available) could accommodate a little more; several burgers are nicely taster and pizza is a sound enjoyable choice, I don t drink so I can offer no comments there, but cola is available; near bus stops is a plus with a convenience store nearby.“

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

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

“We came out for a girls night and FELL IN LOVE with this place. All because of Rashad at the bar. That man kept us laughing all night, told us all the hot spots here in the area, AND provided the BEST service we have ever received and the BEST drinks. Ask for him yall!“

“We live close to Goodall's Kitchen which is great, but let me tell you what keeps us coming back....Alex!!! What an amazing employee and asset to your organization, he has an astronomical EQ and as customers we feel it. We come back for him, what an asset and joy that he is part of your organization!“

“Great food. Nice service 👏“

“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.“

“Only in Austin for a long weekend and stopped by for dinner. Fixe did not disappoint! Beautiful cocktails with tons of flavor. Absolutely delicious meal, our group all got a different entree and shared, each a delight. I could live off of their biscuits with the butter, honey and jam combo. Definitely bring your appetite, we finished our meals with the to die for pecan pie.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Had the Spinach & Feta white omelette with red potatoes. Soooo delicious. Loved the potatoes because they didn’t leave a heavy feeling after. The omelette is really light, which is great. Bloody Mary, yum. Overall, extremely happy. Thank you!“

“Really enjoyed this! The only reason for 4 stars is there were a couple of dishes that weren't as delicious as the others. Highly recommend the Ants on a Log salad. The MASH game on the back of the menu makes for a great date activity.“

“Another great lunch at Doc B's.  The food was great! The place has a very nice quiet ambience. The waiter although I didn't get his name did a great job. We had the wedge burger and the steak sandwich. We also had the mac & cheese, which is excellent!“

“I went for the $25 sunday steak special and was not disappointed. The steak was rather large and cooked well. I also ordered a salad and a crème brûlée, which were also delicious. Atmosphere of the restaurant is very cool and all of the staff look very hipster. Great ambience and a great menu.“

“Just had Dish Society for the first time and it was so good! Had the brisket eggs and made a happy plate 🤪coffee and mimosa was equally as good!!“

“Highly recommend! Delicious food and amazing service!“

“K.R. took such good care of us, really refreshing to have such a nice server/good service these days. Went above and beyond, definitely created a couple new regulars. Atmosphere and food was so nice, we were walking by and had no idea the restaurant was tucked back in there!“
