- CChandraGoldAustin •31 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFabulous meal, this was an amazing experience and worth the price. The food was thoughtfully prepared and expertly described, the flavor combinations were perfect. The service was impeccable. It is a little difficult to find, you go down a narrow hallway to arrive at a wooden door that opens into another world with roots in Japanese sensibility but a splash of Paris and fit to Austin. A true gem.More infoKappo Kappo$$$$• Japanese• Downtown•4.7

- DDanielGoldAustin •25 reviews5.0Dined on 31 Oct 2026Always a crowd pleaser whether going in to pick up a few pastries to enjoying lunch with friends it’s a go to spot that always leaves everyone wanting more. I’ve been enjoying Epicerie since they opened and Sarah has kept everything evolving since day one when it was primarily a market that served foot. Fast forward 10+ years and it’s a delightful restaurant with amazing service. Keep up the great job team!More infoépicerie$$$$• Café• North Central•4.7
- LLucilleGoldHawaii •10 reviews5.0Dined on 29 Oct 2026Impeccable from start to finish What a wonderful evening at Birdies! The food and service were both impeccable. The staff was incredibly careful and attentive with our food allergies, which gave us real peace of mind and let us simply enjoy the meal. The Aiello menu is every bit as good as so many people have raved about. The chicken piccata is a must order whenever it's available! Thank you again for such an awesome experience. We can't wait to come back.More infoBirdie's (Limited Reservations - Walk-in Always Available)$$$$• Farm-to-table• East Austin•4.8
