    Lemongrass Whip with Strawberry Sorbet and Fennel Fudge
    Jordan A.

    If I could give this place 100 stars I would. This is probably going to be my go to spot to take out of town guests to show them Austin/Texas cuisine from here on out. We chose Barley Swine for an early Mother's Day dinner for my family. We knew about it from their 1 Michelin star but also had seen it on an old episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. This place definitely earned every bit of that star and I'm surprised they don't have two. We arrived to a very warm welcome from the staff who showed us to our take where personalized menus had been printed with "Happy Mother's Day [insert my mother's name]" written above our menus. The staff was also kind enough to personalize some of the pre fixe menu items for my parents who do not eat seafood. From start to finish, the food, the service, the ambience were all 10/10. Every dish got better than the last. My favorites were the Akaushi ribeye course and the lemongrass whip with strawberry sorbet and fennel fudge. There was not one dish that I wasn't blown away by. If you're looking for a jaw dropping meal full of innovative creativity with tried and true Texas flavors and ingredients, Barley Swine is the place!

    What a fantastic experience. I was running a few late and when I called they answered promptly and said it was ok. As soon as I got out of the car I could smell the wood burning and got excited for what was to come. Sat at the bar which gave a great view of everything. There was a second/back bar that would be more of a chefs counter right across from the grill. Eric and Chelsea at the bar provided great service as well as the rest of the staff. With the tasting menu, choices were easy, wine pairing or add ons. Everything else was taken care of. I even forgot about the food allergy I added at the time I made the reservation. Which they executed and confirmed upon arrival. Talk about service! Watching drinks being made I loved that they use large tweezers to get straws, no dirty fingers! The food was amazing. The menu changes so it allows you to try new things. The chocolate chip cookies are a must and they were so good the next day. I'll def keep an eye out for their next menu change to go back for another experience.

    Food was 10/10. No complaints there. I left a tiny bit hungry still but we did no add ons which I think is not typical. Other two ladies with me said they were full- I just have a big appetite! As far as being an expensive fine dining experience I felt like it was plated a touch too slow. Especially since we were seated for the second service. Service was friendly and explanatory, the food was great there were no duds. But for a super casual fine dining experience it seemed like they were stretching out the experience to justify the price? I know a lot goes into it. But just my personal preference that since we were not ingesting slowly it would have been nice to pace it a little more quickly.

    I'd been wanting to try this place for a while and last year, my parents had eaten here and given Barley Swine a mixed review. When they were awarded a Michelin Star, I knew I needed to give them a chance. My husband and I were in celebrating our anniversary. The reservation process was easy and they have a great series of reminder emails and texts. The free valet parking is great given the small parking lot. Don't let the modest front of the "strip mall look" deter you. The minute you pass through the doors that are held open for you, it smells like delicious food, smoked wood, and dare I say, the deep rustic emotion I imagine whiskey could feel if it could have any. Service is impeccable. Every server can tell you about the dishes being placed in front of you. They never interrupt conversation or flow and yet your water glass never goes empty. The food. Stand out success. We opted for adding all of the supplements and were not disappointed with any of them (our server recommended that they were all shareable outside the oyster and caviar dishes). The smoked beef rib was so tender and flavorful we wished we had ordered one each. The foie gras dish was perfectly balanced in flavors and texture, an artful masterpiece in one bite. As a historical non-fan of raw oysters, I have to say that I would eat this one again. Their signature shiitake dumpling dish was a tad on the salty side but so delicious and umami forward. My husband's favorite was the grouper. Even the palate cleansers were delicious! My only regret? I forgot to take a picture of that grouper! Barley Swine, congrats and one can definitely see why you've earned that Michelin Star. I'll be entreating my parents to give you another opportunity to fall head over in heels in love with your inventive, one of a kind, delicious food. We can't wait for the next celebratory opportunity to return!

    Incredible veggie egg dumplings so bomb

    Gorgeous vibe. Like. Love it. Rustic I think is the feeling I got. Service was great. Got served by a few different people but I sat at the bar. The kitchen was so gorgeous. Watching everyone work and wearing their cute outfits it almost looked as though they were just from the same family. The button ups, the laid back vibes. But the food. Different from any place I been. Although they did serve lions mane mushroom lol I will make sure to never get that again. It's too meat like. Butttt I will say they did the best job with it! The way it was cut and served and flavor with it was the best I had yet. This is now ranked in my top 3 of the Michelin restaurants I been too. The first to have served tofu! So proud of them! And they did an amazing job!! I'm bringing my parents here... the only reason worth a trip back to Texas from California for me! Delicious and creative. Now u need to creat le a drink pairing ( cocktails )

    This place absolutely delivered. The tasting-style small bites may look minimal, but the pacing leave you fully satisfied by the end. It's definitely a splurge, but the creativity and execution make it worth it. We sat at the bar, which I totally recommend because you can see how meticulous the prep is and how much detail gets put into every plate. In my opinion, Barley Swine should be on every foodie's list who isn't afraid of bold flavors. Best birthday dinner ever!!!

    This was our best dinner while in Austin! If you get the opportunity, try to get a spot at the chef's counter. It always gives me such an appreciation for the operations of a kitchen. Every dish was outstanding and the tasting menu was a steal at their current price point. I wont go into each dish since they change seasonally but i would add one of the supplemental dishes. One of their first dishes on their menu 12 years ago is still available at $16, Shiitake Dumplings with Scrambled Eggs. Well worth the add. We also added the Traditional Wine pairing at $85/pp. The wines were well paired but a little pricy and out of balance from a cost perspective compared to the tasting price. Great service and awesome end to our trip.

    A top dining experience in Austin! This entire meal was incredible. They accommodated with a vegetarian menu, and everything was fantastic. We were celebrating our anniversary, and they brought us the mushroom and egg dumpling dish for free which was so kind. The dumplings and the fried rice were probably my favorite dishes, but it's so hard to pick since everything was done perfectly. We sat at the bar that looked into the kitchen which was really cool to watch the chefs. Would love to go back for another special occasion :)

    Wowowowow!! Best meal of 2026 so far, might remain at the top spot for the remainder of the year. We did the tasting and all of the add ons and really you must get it all! The dining area is small so make sure to get a reservation. Service drinks and ambiance are all impeccable. I look forward to returning for another celebration!

    An absolute wonderful dining experience. Everything we tried was fantastic. The service was impeccable. It was neat watching the staff work together in a true team capacity. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys good food and a wonderful experience.

It's a good option as one of the few places in Austin offering a tasting menu. Parking: Valet in front on their end. Lot is shared with Licks and Bufalina. You can also park in the back (drive around the block to the back). If that is full, street parking in the back.

    If it's not a Michelin one star restaurant, I will give 4 stars. But it's a pricey Michelin one star. The food presentation is good, the service is good too. But food tastes just OK, not that impressive. With that price, it's not worth it. I have been to Barley Swjne before they became a Michelin star, the old price is more reasonable.

    First time here for a multi-course tasting menu, and overall we thought this was a very nicely put together experience, with solid variety in both flavors and ingredients. The opening hiramasa (yellowtail amberjack) with apple and milk foam was refreshing and light, followed by a rich, salty big tree oyster with kimchi and coppa. Butternut squash with queso and corn kept things hearty, while the mild-flavored tilefish with sweet potato and curry was just okay. The standout was the pig face carnitas with sweet chile peas and cabbage - basically a refried carnitas kebab and easily the most memorable bite of the night. The trio of akaushi ribeye yakitori, scallion roll in rich ribeye and onion sauce, and rib cap was also well done and showcased different preparations of the same cut. Desserts were playful and well executed, especially the sunflower & miso layer cake (and the allergy-friendly alternative - gluten-free olive oil cake with peanuts and sunflower seeds). The chocolate popsicles were rich and creamy. The only real miss was the shiitake dumplings with soft scrambled eggs (an optional menu add-on), which were overly salted across the board. Drink-wise, the Gilmore's Garden Party cocktail was a standout if you like pickle juice and briny, pickled flavors. It was made with Haku vodka, Dolin Blanc, pickled green tomato water, and pepperoncini. Service was attentive and accommodating of my allergies, and the ambience was cozy and unpretentious.

    It seems like they have gone to a tasting menu only, but does anyone know how much it costs?

    It's been tasting menu only since post Covid from what we were told. It's $115 per person.

    Is there a tasting menu for vegetarian?

    Yes, they were very accommodating for our party which had two vegetarians. You just have to let them know when you make the reservation. They ask you questions in a survey about dietary restrictions when you make the reservation.

    What is the price range per person for the entire menu tasting? I understand it's $$$$ but I'd like to get an idea so no one in the party is too surprised haha

    Does the tasting menu include drinks, or do these have to be purchased separately?

    If we make reservation for A La Carte, can we still order from the tasting menu once we seated at the restaurant?

My parents got the grass-fed burger and the original fish tacos, while I got the farmhouse breakfast with brioche french toast. The french toast was cooked perfectly; a thick slice with honey butter and the best syrup from any restaurant I have ever had was served. The smashed potatoes in the breakfast were a special treat indeed. Imagine singular potatoes having the mashed potatoes inside. They were crispy and paired wonderful with the sauce. As for the tacos, they are certainly some of the best in the entire world. The burger was worth it on so many levels. It has the classic meat, cheese, sauce, and pickles, but don't be fooled.

Even now as it's been Bartlett's for many years, you can still feel some of that Houston's DNA in the atmosphere and menu. The vibe lands somewhere between upscale casual and classic steakhouse. It reminded me a bit of those old-school Steak and Ale-type places. It's a step above casual dining chains like Applebee's or TGI Fridays, but I wouldn't put it in the same category as Austin's highest-end spots like Uchi. It's more of a polished, comfortable place that still feels approachable. The dining room has a warm, almost wine-cellar feel, with exposed brick and fairly low lighting. When we visited on a weeknight it was packed, so I highty recommend making a reservation. The crowd seemed to be a mix of business dinners, client meetings, and people celebrating occasions. We were there for my mom's birthday, which felt like a perfect reason to go. It's the kind of place that works well for a special dinner, a date night, or entertaining clients. Everything we ordered was excellent. The Hickory Smoked Salmon appetizer was a great start, and the French Dip and the Chimichurri Steak Sandwich were worth getting again. They also brought out a dessert for my mom's birthday that everyone at the table enjoyed. Service was friendly and professional throughout the meal.

The reason I am including this in my review is due to this being the second time this month where our server was unclear of difference between white v dark meat. Lovely brunch date...

    My boyfriend and I came here for our 5-year anniversary, and The Kimberly truly made it so special…read more They decorated our table so beautifully, and every server who passed by took a moment to wish us a happy anniversary--it meant a lot. One thing about The Kimberly... you will barely lift a finger besides to eat. Our water glasses were constantly being refilled, not just by our server but by anyone passing by. The service was just that attentive. Our server (I believe his name was Todd) was AMAZING--so kind and welcoming. He did such a great job walking us through the menu, pointing out his favorites and guest favorites. He even convinced me to try the fish--and I'm not usually a big fish person--but it was sooo good!! My boyfriend tried the beef Wellington for the first time, and let's just say... Gordon Ramsay would be proud. We shared the green beans and wagyu beef tallow fries, and they were literally heaven in food form. Our cocktails were just as good--I had a matcha drink, and my boyfriend got the Love & Lust. We both thoroughly enjoyed every sip just as much as our meals. Everything about the night was incredible. If I could shrink The Kimberly and keep it in my pocket, I would. We felt so spoiled--such a beautiful way to celebrate our anniversary.

    The Kimberly is PRISTINE…read more Lots of restaurants in Austin have amazing food but the Kimberly is just above and beyond. The veal with cacio e pepe was the juiciest possibly softer veal I've ever had. My boyfriend got the wagyu. We shared the mouselline potatoes for the table. As for cocktails, the fire horse was tasted so bomb we had 3. Even if you want to drink something that wasn't on the menu, their bartender whipped us up a pineapple cocktail on the spot that was delicious. Everything was amazing from start to finish.

    We almost go at-least twice a month to Doc B's, as my son loves it, and it's one of those place in…read moredomain that is our family favorite too. Ambiance is good, we mostly sit outdoors, service is always great, last two times Evan took care of us, and he's awesome. We don't eat anything with beef or pork, and in Doc Bs, even with that restriction they have so many options, especially with chicken, cocktails are bit pricey, but it's same in all the places in Domain, but they are solid, my go to drinks are Beverly Hills martini, crazy beautiful and the internal affairs. Hubby usually gets done local drafts. Food: my son loves habanero honey glazed fried chicken with jalapeño potatoes. I like naked chicken wings(Thai sweet and spicy sauce on the side), or chicken kebab, which I usually have leftovers almost always. Hubby likes there , the number six sandwich. Their kungpao Brussel sprouts are addictive(but it's not a regular thing). And even though we have been here N number of times, we are always so full and never make it to dessert, but this time had decided to try dessert, hubby and me shared house made Oreo ice cream, I love love ice cream and there Oreo ice cream is one of the best Oreo ice cream I've ever had, and that warm not too sweet chocolate sauce was just perfect. Thank-you Doc B's for another amazing meal

    Mama Betty's has become a regular in our rotation of neighborhood restaurants. We love, love it!…read moreAnd particularly appreciate the fact that we can walk or ride our bikes there. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. Our server tonight was Natalie, and she did such an incredible job. Personable, always with a smile, and willing to patiently put in my boyfriend's special order. Tacos à la Betty is one of my favorites, and they have the best homemade flour tortillas. The frozen Mexican martini is so good! If you are close, stop by and try mama Betty's. Such a great neighborhood addition!

    We have become huge fans of Mama Betty's. We eat here probably weekly. The first time I reviewed…read morethem I gave 4 stars due to service being not the best. That was week 1 of opening and I realized it was not a fair time to write a review. Ever since that visit the service is great with super friendly staff and smiles from everyone including the hostesses. The restaurant is always packed with happy people and it's clean and well designed. The food is amazing. I have become a regular and order the " Tacos A La Betty!" every time and it's amazing chicken fajita tacos with all the fixings. They have great spicy strawberry frozen margaritas. And be sure to save room for the sopapillas at the end of the meal! Staff are great, place is happening and I highly recommend.
