- MMonicaAustin •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoOur group had not been to Cover 3 for a while, we used to go quite often. We decided to go again and loved it again. Chris was our server and was super attentive and helpful. The new lunch specials were delicious and a big hit at our table. It is nice to be in a restaurant where you can actually hear the conversations at your own table.More infoCover 3 - Austin$$$$• American• Arboretum•4.9
- CChuckGoldAustin •80 reviews5.0Dined on 24 Oct 2026Our second visit. I’d almost forgotten how much we like it. Great food and the service is unparalleled in Austin. Very attentive, very friendly, very efficient. The general manager stopped by. The bar manager came out personally when my wife’s cocktail wasn’t quite right and then made sure it was perfect. Will go back…many times I think.More infoThe Salty Sow$$$$• Gastro Pub• East Austin•4.8
