- CJCandaceJAustin •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoBurlesque Brunch was a fantastic experience. I haven't been to Honey Moon before and we really loved the service and the meal. The cocktails were strong and delicious. The patio was a little warm and flies abound. But the staff really tried to help with the flies by taking our plates up and giving out table fans. Just really superb service! The indoor decor is absolutely beautiful, so we will return to spend some time inside at the bar.More infoHoney Moon Spirit Lounge$$$$• Contemporary American• Central Austin•4.7
- SWSallyWAustin •3 reviews5.0Dined on 2 Jan 2023I always love Uchiko. The food is always amazing. My only complaint- I had specifically mentioned that we were celebrating my son’s birthday and they never acknowledged it. Our server was lovely though and clearly she wasn’t told. Make sure to order Hama Chili, Komaki roll and Madai nigiri- our 3 favorite menu items.More infoUchiko Austin$$$$• Sushi• Central Austin•4.9
- OTOpenTable DinervipAustin •4 reviews5.0Dined on 2 Jan 2023Food is so good. We sat at a four top in the bar area? Which was a little strange since I made reservations over two months ago. Whatever- food and service were top notch. I had the 30 day aged filet and gnocchi. Best steak in the city. Meatballs were just ok - bread was amazing and the table lived the bone marrow.More infoRed Ash Italia$$$$• Italian• Downtown•4.9
