- JJasmineLas Vegas •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoEast Coast oysters were delicious as always (ordered a dozen). Hubby ordered the bone marrow, which he demolished in three minutes. For entrees, I had the Salmon, he had the scallops. Jeremiah, our waiter, made sure to keep my wine glasses full and even brought a couple of samples. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and had plenty of recommendations. Would definitely eat here again!More infoacre 41Price: Expensive• American• Downtown•4.5
- CChrisVIPHawaii •37 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe made a reservation at the bar but when we arrived the seats available were next to the front door. Given that it was 31 degrees out those seats would have been uncomfortable with the door constantly being opened and closed. We asked if we could move and she kindly moved us upstairs. Something very much appreciated. The waiter was personable and provided great service. The food was excellent and not overpriced. All in all a nice night out.More infoRed Ash ItaliaPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.9

Discover Austin
Austin’s booming dining scene is one of the many reasons the vibrant capital of Texas tops just about every “best of” list that comes out. Over the last decade, Austin has made waves in industries from music and tech to filmmaking and—you guessed it—food. Speaking of food, forget any notions about Austin’s culinary scene being solely Tex-Mex, barbecue, and breakfast tacos. While all those things are still here (and delicious as ever), the food scene is brimming with energy, creativity, and new concepts. A new wave of coffee roasteries, sushi fusion restaurants, stylish eateries and juiceries have opened their doors, adding dynamism to a city on the rise.
