My friend had her birthday dinner at Mia back in December 2024. Our server was super nice and very attentive! The Pear Martini was very good as was the Negroni. My friends had the Rock Rose Old Fashioned and the Homemade Apple Cider which was their drink of the week. I was a little bummed to see that they didn't use the giant rock ice for the Negroni and Old Fashioned. Our tapas included the Beef Sliders, Bacon Wrapped Dates, Grilled Striploin Steak (medium), Pan Seared Scallops, Butternut Squash Agnolotti, and the Brussels Sprouts. I don't care for dates or butternut squash so those two dishes were my least favorite. I did enjoy everything else we ordered, especially the Grilled Striploin steak (it was very tender and flavorful). Mia's may no longer be around, but they have three other restaurant concepts in the Austin area (Cedro Scratch Italian Kitchen & Bar, Fig Italian Kitchen & Bar, and Grey Orchard). I'll have to check out one of their sister restaurants the next time I'm in town.

Very laid back yet, chick! I had the French 75 cocktail and empanada from the happy hour menu. It was just what I was looking for! It hit the spot. The staffs is so welcoming and attentive, you just want to stay, relax, and enjoy the process. I've been here with friends before. To try the very good Italian dishes from the menu. I love to come in from time to time and try the cocktail of the week. All farm to table and all so delicious!!!

Went here to celebrate someone's birthday. This is my second time here and I will say that the…read morecrispy short rib hummus is a staple. The short rib is so good and tender. It's unbelievable, honestly I just need a plate of short rib and I'll be set. As you can see the salad is almost gone before I could even take a picture. It was honestly so good. It was some sort of coleslaw salad I didn't get the specific name for it. The pita was seasoned, which was really yummy. I will say out of the fresh fish options. I prefer the yellowtail that I got last time. It was definitely more flavorful. This tuna dish had a little bit of a bitterness to it. I'm assuming from the lettuce. The kebabs and the rice were so delicious. The rice had a lemony taste to it. The Ambiance was low lit, the weather just happened to be perfect as well, we sat on the outside patio. Their service was very quick and efficient as well. No complaints.

The restaurant is beautiful and the service was attentive and kind. What shined the most however…read morewas the way they utilized their oven to sear their food. Their special Josper oven can get up to 1100 degrees Fahrenheit which allows them to quickly cook and sear their food. They capitalize on this unique oven by having the seared skin hold sauces and toppings. Their chicken had the skin nice and crispy which held the butter sauce on the meat. Obviously everything you would normally expect to be great was great, the cook of the meats, the side dishes, the salads, the drinks, but what really stood out was the creative utilization of searing food hot and fast. Our server Olivia was very personable, down to earth, and really helped us navigate the menu.

Went here with my husband for our wedding anniversary. The staff was very kind and welcoming and…read morethe music was very nice, I loved that it wasn't so loud that we couldn't have a conversation. We ordered all the small plates but the caviar. Our favorites were the tuna tartar, the pulpo, chefs crudo and the shrimp. The sauce that the shrimp came in was delicious! We ended up taking the leftover sauce home. For main course I ordered the scallops and my husband ordered the halibut. Both dishes were fresh and seasoned perfectly. The sauces definitely brought everything together. For sides we ordered the plantains and carrots both were flavorful and amazing to eat. We will be back!

I met some friends for an early dinner at Gracia Mediterranean this past weekend. Since we were…read morethere early, the place was pretty empty so we were seated at a nice booth/table near the bar. Our server gave us great suggestions and helped us make yummy choices. My friends had mocktails and I had the beet cocktail with alcohol. My friends forgot I like to take photos for my reviews so some of the photos of the items we ordered we started eating before I took them so they show as half eaten in the photos I shared (haha)...must have been good! I was also happy to discover they are on the InKind app so I was able to use some credits I had available to help pay the bill. I look forward to going back again to try more items!

Not my favorite salsa but they tasted good. The not so good: Este ceviche flavor was not good. The market fish was orange roughy. I've eaten a lot of cevice. ​​the taste of this one made so sense. It didn't taste like old fish, just bland weird flavor. I had to eat each bite with a lot of the salsa to make it palatable. And the tortilla chips are 6"x6" squares that tasted fine but if you try to break it into smaller bite sized pieces it ended up too small. I kept ending up trying to dip two thumb sized pieces into the salsa. I will give them another try. There were many other food options that sounded appealing.

Austhentico is a GEM. This food truck is permanently parked next to a Belgian bar downtown, and…read morebonus..there's actually parking right next door. What a foodie find. This tastes like it came straight out of someone's granny's kitchen in SPAIN. D E L I C I O U S. The menu isn't all vegan, but they've done an incredible job offering both traditional and vegan versions without losing any soul. Am I in heaven? Yes. The owner makes it a point to connect with customers, which was refreshing. You can tell this is passion-driven. You order via QR code at your table, then pick up out back when it's ready--easy. Everything is prepped daily in a Commercial kitchen and finished on the truck, and he proudly shared that the ingredients, spices, even the meats are sourced from Spain. Vegan paella? Incredible. Patatas bravas with vegan aioli? My personal favorite, sooo good. My husband loved the jamón serrano sandwich. And whatever you do, don't skip the sourdough rye with tomato spread. They also mix in a few Belgian items to match the bar, which adds to the whole European vibe. I already need to go back for the vegan fideuà and bombas..they were sold out, which tells you everything. Do yourself a favor: try this spot and support a small business that's clearly fueled by passion and flavor. Yum.

The croquetas and bravas are the best in Austin - better than Kalimotxo, San Gines, and El Raval. They were extremely delicious and the perfect texture and size. The paella was about as good as you could expect from a food truck. The tortilla was our least favorite - taste was good, but wasn't as liquidy as you'd expect in Spain. Overall, the food was great. We would definitely go back! Thank you for keeping this Spanish food authentic.

Overall: 4.4/5 [dine in]…read more We came in on a weekday night and were seated right away. The place is nice and quiet, the service was good, and the food was even better than our last visit. They change their menu often so there is always something new to look forward to. Charred Edamame With Pop Rocks ($9): So fun to eat and quite addictive. The chili oil was spicy to me but not my husband so just be aware of your heat tolerance. The salt pop rocks combo is genius and so good that we wanted to take it home to season our steak. The edamame were also perfectly charred. Highly recommend! Lamb Pops ($28): Came with 3 lamb pops that were perfectly cooked and so delicious. Even better with the yuzu yogurt. 44 Farms Tartare ($24) + Quail Egg ($6): This looked like a bird's nest and had so many textures going on. A great sensory experience and it tasted really good too. I would say a little less of the crispy bits would help since I felt they were close to overpowering the rest of the dish.

Swift's Attic changed its menu and plating style in 2025 to focus on small, shareable plates, but…read morethe dishes have been somewhat hit or miss. Before the change, I would have rated this spot closer to a 4.5/5, so the new format feels like a noticeable step down. It can still be a fun place to visit with a group so everyone can try a variety of items, although some of the portions are so small that they can feel awkward to share. Considering the price of each plate, I'd say it's mainly worth visiting if Swift's Attic has been on your list and you're curious to try it for yourself. Otherwise, Austin has plenty of other dinner spots that offer a more satisfying experience and better value.

Made a reservation and was seated at the bar since I was dining solo. I was totally fine with that, I actually enjoyed chatting with the bartender. There were so many dishes I wanted to try, making it hard to decide. The staff was very helpful and recommended dishes based on portion sizes, which made choosing easier. I Ordered Sourdough Bread with Special Butter & Smoked Pear Honey. This was a nice way to start the meal. Bread crust was crunchy and paired well with the special butter and smoked pear honey. Pappardelle (Smoked Wagyu Short Rib, Crème Fraîche, TX Olive Oil) was really good. The beef was tender, and the pasta was flavorful. Definitely my favorite dish. Ruby Rind Cocktail ( Strawberry Top Aperol, Watermelon Honey, Pickled Watermelon), the bartender made a different drink for me, he realized the mistake and remade it for me, so I ended up with two drinks. I like the ruby Rind, it's refreshing with the watermelon flavor. 'Cacio e Pepe' (Blue Beard Durum Spaghetti, Challerhocker, Black Pepper). The person sitting next to me kindly let me try some of theirs. Glad I got to taste it before ordering because I found it quite bland. It wasn't for me. Overall, I enjoyed the bar experience, the helpful staff, and especially the pappardelle. There are many interesting dishes on the menu, so I'd love to come back and try more in my next visit to Austin

Our server was very efficient, prompt, and said he would take the entire order all at once. We ordered drinks and then he left us to browse and make plans after he explained everything we were interested in. In the end, we tried several things and loved all of them: -Bolognese (kind'a fatty meat - didn't finish it - least fav) -Stuffed peppers - sleeper hit - we both loved this -Salmon Crudo - fresh and delicious. Light. -Johnny Cakes - must! -Empanada - huge and DELICIOUS. Loved it. For dessert: -My friend ordered the trio of sorbet and it was good and fresh -I ordered a PB&J dessert that was much better than I expected. Refreshing and sweet. It's a bit loud in here - it's a super popular place by Rainey Street - but, we enjoyed a very pleasant evening meal here with absolutely delicious, fresh and locally sourced food/ingredients. This is going to be on a "must eat" list for any future trips. It's that good.

We made a res and that was a good choice as they fill up very fast here. There is complimentary valet parking as well for those worried about their cars. The interior is modern and sleek but doesn't lack a soul, which extends to their servers and workers, phenomenal. For our food we went with cornbread, pork belly sliders, aged wagyu burger, and fettuccine. The cornbread was phenomenal, an easy standout with a grilled onion butter that provides a pop of flavor. The pork belly sliders were also good, balancing all flavors perfectly. The fettuccine was good, not great. The chips and their texture took a lot away from what else was going on in the dish. Now for the best part of the meal, the burger. This burger is unworldly, an absolutely delicious bite brimming with juice. The beer cheese and jam do so much here with a perfectly cooked patty. The definition of a signature dish. Odd Duck is such a standout in what can sometimes feel like a copy paste food scene here in Austin. We're glad to have eaten here before its inevitable (at this rate) first star.
