    The pork chop with fresh corn polenta. Yum!

    Are you looking for an one of a kind dinner place for a special night out? Then the Eberly should be at the top of your list! The restaurant itself is BEAUTIFUL! The atrium and lighting inside is stunning and don't even get me on the one of a kind bar that was shipped from CA in pieces. Let's talk about the food shall we? TOP NOTCH! I've never had a bad meal here...and never left food on my plate. lol. Add in that the servers are always so kind and inviting and so well versed in meal/drink/wine pairings. And are also great to chat with too. You get what you pay for and everything here is worth it!

    We visited Eberly on a Saturday night and had a reservation for 2 at the bar. It was a busy night, and while we originally were disappointed not to have a standard table, we realized that the bar scene was even more amazing. The food was incredible, we tried the chickpea fritter starter, some fun cocktails, and then for mains we had the short ribs and the rigatoni. This was easily a top 3 Austin restaurant for us. The food, service and ambiance were all fantastic, and exceeded our expectations. We can't wait to come back again to try additional cocktails and dishes!

    We recently visited Eberly to celebrate our son's birthday, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience from start to finish. The first thing that stood out was the beautiful ambiance. The restaurant offers both stunning indoor and outdoor seating, making it perfect for any occasion. Since we planned to bring our dog, we called ahead to confirm outdoor seating availability. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and promptly guided to the outdoor patio. Before we even had a chance to ask, the staff brought a bowl of water for our dog, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Another touch that made the evening special was that the staff acknowledged our son's birthday upon arrival and presented him with a birthday card signed by team members. It was a simple but incredibly sweet gesture that made him feel celebrated. For drinks, my husband ordered the Swedish Fish Punch, while I enjoyed the Family Business German Pilsner. For appetizers, we shared the Burrata and a salad that is no longer on the menu. The salad featured cashew butter and was absolutely delicious. Both appetizers were beautifully prepared, flavorful, and generously portioned for the three of us. For the main course, we decided to share two dishes. I wanted to try a vegetarian option, and our server was extremely helpful, offering several menu items that could be modified. I chose the Mafaldine pasta, and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. It was rich, flavorful, and unlike any pasta dish I've had before. Every bite was outstanding. My son ordered the salmon, which was equally delicious and perfectly cooked. Both dishes were satisfying and filling. Since we wanted to save room for dessert, sharing the entrees turned out to be the perfect decision. We ordered the Pistachio Crème Brûlée and Sticky Toffee Pudding, and the restaurant also surprised our son with a complimentary birthday cake complete with a candle. All three desserts were exceptional and a perfect ending to the meal. Eberly is definitely a high-end dining destination and an excellent choice for special occasions, celebrations, or gatherings with family and friends. The indoor and outdoor spaces are beautiful and spacious, the service is attentive and thoughtful, and every dish felt carefully crafted with unique flavors and attention to detail. What impressed me most was that every aspect of the experience--from the hospitality to the food and special touches--felt intentional and genuine. We left feeling celebrated, well-fed, and already looking forward to our next visit.

    I've heard of Eberly for years, I just figured it was out of my price range. My friends and I decided to try the Cedar Tavern happy hour, but we arrived to find out it was booked for an event! The hostesses were super accommodating and even though the bar area was full, we were sat at a table and they would still honor the $7 martinis and $10 burger at least! We just had to be out by the time the next reservation was due, which was plenty of time. I thought that was so nice of them. Our table ordered some martinis, the Japanese milk buns, burger and fries, apple Asian salad, as well as the zucchini dish. I would skip the caesar salad, nothing to write home about. I would definitely recommend the zucchini dish, it was perfectly fried and the accompaniments were delicious. The Asian salad was great for a hot day. Of course I've seen the pictures of the grand atrium room with skylights, so it was cool to see it in person. There are many different areas to Eberly, and I must return to fully experience them all. I saw a side patio area, I have heard there's a rooftop, and I know the Cedar Tavern bar was transported from New York City. To top it off, valet is free!

    Butter and bread
    Rishi P.

    Great food, ribeye special sauce was so good and filling and was already sliced. Potatoes hit the spot with its sauce and cooked so soft. Bread and butter was great star as the butter was whipped and bread was glazed so well. Crudo was so tender and beets salad was great portion. Service was quick and ambiance was dark, would've been nice if blinds were open Would come back.

    Sticky toffee
    Melissa D.

    I love that i don't have to find parking as there is valet. The staff were super friendly. Since I dined alone they gave me just the right amount of attention. The restaurant is beautiful in this old cigar club kind of way I ordered the crudo which came out so quickly. It was delicious with such a good amount of acid. I had the halibut. I did not like that it came out while I was eating the crudo and would have preferred a gap. This fish was delicious. Absolutely loved the pickled chillis with it. I had the pistachio creme brulee this was delicious. I was being greedy and being from Australia I had to have the sticky toffee pudding. This sadly was disappointing. It was too salty and hard to enjoy. Wish I ended on the brulee. I would definitely come back as the service and savory items were great

    A group of us went to celebrate a birthday and reserved a table. Our server and manager were very attentive and the service was great. I didn't get pictures or everything but we had tasty food and drinks. The fresh oysters were fantastic and everyone was happy with their food. The potatoes were shared. Between the Bellinis, Old Fashioned and lots of champagne we were happy there. They also brought out a little birthday dessert for the birthday girl. Parking is a bit of a challenge. Valeting is the way to go but there is parking nearby but with a walk if you prefer to park yourself.

    Had a reservation for 6:45, SXSW road closures had another idea. Didn't arrive until 7:10 and I did call beforehand to inform them. They weren't very busy and got a seat at the bar. Very friendly staff and attentive. Only recommendation would be to give the rundown for newbies. I mentioned it was my first time in and didn't get any insight. Surprisingly a couple sat near me with a different bartender and they were given a rundown of the concept as well as what they are known for. I got the Cesar salad and the pork chop both recommended by the bartender. Salad came out quickly and was delicious, crisp lettuce and enough dressing. The pork chop too a hot minute. To the point where the couple that ordered after me was almost done with their meal before it arrived. Sooo, not sure where the disconnect was. That same couple finished their meal and left before I was half way through my meal. The pork chop was worth the wait and cooked perfectly. The Brussel sprouts were also crispy and seasoned well. The restaurant had a chill vibe and definitely liked it once the sun went down as the interior lighting really set the mood. You get to walk by the open kitchen line to use the restroom and see the Sun room across from the kitchen. The restrooms were great! Love the decor and the full individual stalls. Only recommendation would be to upgrade the locks to 'occupied/vacant' as it's hard to tell which are available. They def were busier when I left. They do have valet, no self parking and I used a ride share as I knew parking would be tight. I'd love to go back and try a few other things on their menu.

    Artichoke Dip & Soft Pretzel
    Paige S.

    This restaurant is absolutely stunning making it worth the visit alone! But the food and drinks are also amazing. I went for happy hour which is one of my favorites in Austin. I ordered an espresso martini and a maverick martini. I'd pass on the espresso martini in the future but the maverick martini was addicting. Yum! For food, I ordered fries, artichoke dip, and soft pretzel and loved every single thing! Parking was easy as there was complimentary valet. You won't regret a happy hour here!

    Cured Smoked Salmon

    My girl Maren knew her stuff! She was absolutely the sweetest and everything she recommended was fantastic. The food was so good I was thinking about it the next day and knew I had to share it on Yelp! We got a 6:30 reservation and it was perfect; not too loud or too busy yet. We started with the bread rolls and HOLY! Those things just melted in your mouth and the butter with them was chef's kiss. Maren absolutely rocked my world by recommending the salmon. It came with a thick hash brown-like patty underneath, and it was so well done. The flavor was insane. The rigatoni was fab as well. It had a little kick, but nothing crazy. Now let's get to that toffee cake pudding. W O W. I have nothing else to say besides seriously save room for this in your stomach. Next time I definitely want to check out the cool bar in the back too. The burgers looked awesome

    My wife and I went to Eberly's for Fathers Day and we had a wonderful time. The food was very good. You literally can't go wrong with anything on the menu. My ceasar salad was great and abundant in size, which helped. The service was a bit on the slow side, but they were all extremely friendly and attentive. The ambiance is date night. Dress is business casual. Look forward to good times here! BTW, there is a hidden speak easy (Shhhh...).

    Great date spot! Especially before opera. Get the potatoes it's fantastic. The salmon and bolognese are also wonderful. Can't go wrong here!

    Short ribs entree

    We drove from NOLA to Austin with reservations here at 7p on a Monday (thank you for being open Monday or we'd never have been able to experience this)! The establishment is even grander than the photos make it out to be... massive rooms peppered with large wooden beams; tables; and ironworks throughout. There were two other tables finishing up, and us. Our 40-something waiter had just the right balance of casual earthiness and professional attentiveness to match the stateliness of this restaurant. I ordered the Double Feature (Mezcal, hibiscus, ginger) $17 and she her usual "old fashioned" Montecristo (rye, highland park, cynar) $18. Both were fabulous. For apps we noticed charred/tossed brussles with one of the entrees and asked our waiter if that could be an appetizer (not on the menu) and he promptly said Done! It was terrific. For entrees she ordered the Texas Wagyu Strip $48 and I had my go-to fav whenever I see it on a menu: Short Rib $40. See the menu pics for the sauces and sides, suffice to say... incredible. By 8p we were the only occupants left in this cathedral-like establishment and ended up lingering until 9:45, ordering another drink and then one of THE best desserts I have ever had... the Guinness Chocolate Cake (with pumpkin puree, candied quinoa, and maple/choc ice cream) $12. We agreed that the candied quinoa was over the top - adding a delightfully subtle crunch to every bite in this richly dark choc dessert. After realizing that for the past hour we were keeping the bartender, host, waiter, and kitchen singlehandedly at our beckon call, we quietly dropped a c-note for a four-way tip. Thank you folks for the beautiful welcome wagon and chance to unwind and reconnect after 9 hours on the highway!

I can't remember whether it was described as dramatic as it showed up, but let me tell you there was drama! It was served in a flaming skull, garnished with beautiful flowers and fresh fruit, and filled to the brim with God knows how much alcohol and juice, but it was a time! To heighten the experience, he sprinkled something in a shaker and the flames just erupted! The whole restaurant stopped and I cackled! To put out the flame, Noah gave one dramatic clap, and the flame disappear disappeared!

Once we walked through Manny's, we were greeted right away and since we had a reservation, we were seated promptly. Quick heads up: cell phones aren't allowed inside -- they take your phone and give you a key to a locker where it's stored for the night. The idea is to keep everyone present and engaged with each other instead of their screens (they do make exceptions for emergencies or on-call situations, at the business's discretion). I actually love the reasoning behind it, even though I wished I had my phone to snap pictures of the inside! The space itself is dark and moody with major art deco Miami vibes, like something out of the 80s-90s. Think pink velvet draped everywhere, a life-size taxidermy leopard in the middle of the bar, and flamingo sculptures scattered throughout. It's gorgeous. There's plenty of seating between the booths/couches and the bar, and they seat you according to your party size. We got a plush half-circle booth with a table that fit all of us perfectly -- great sightlines too, so everyone could see and talk to each other easily. Each table gets an assigned server, and ours was fantastic. We ordered cocktails along with the yuca fries, empanadas, and quesadillas -- all delicious. I can't remember the name of my cocktail, but it was pink, gin-based, and so good, served in a beautiful tall stem glass. Loved everything about this place and will absolutely be back next time I'm in town!

The guy at the front was very nice, but as soon as we get to the "receptionist" the entire narrative changed. She looked my girlfriend and I up and down and then proceeded to tap multiple times on her IPad. She then says, "you know it's 1:30? we close at 2. we only have standing room." She had the most miserable scowl on her face. My girlfriend and I were dressed very nicely (pants & jacket, and a dress), so I know this was not a outfit issue. I do not know what her issue was, but if you are tired and don't like staying up late, don't work in a bar. After saying that there was only standing room, I decided that I was not going to spend money in an establishment that speaks to people in such a disgusting way, so I proceeded to leave. One of the guys out front asked what was wrong and asked if he could buy us a drink, but at that point I decided that I would not spend a dime at this place. Just giving a heads up! Lady at the front is EXTREMELY rude. Looking at the other 1 star reviews, it looks like this place has a reputation for being discriminatory.

I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.

    I've seen this place all over the internet I needed to see it for myself. I came on a Thursday…read morenight, and I was the only person here. It was a cool vibe, seeing all of the neon signs and I'm sure if it was more lively, I would've had a better time and better experience. The drinks are decently priced, and the staff is extremely friendly. Being alone here gave some Zombieland, creepy vibes and I was kind of living for it. I thought they should have some events centered around that, but it's probably like that during Halloween. I would love to check it out again on a livelier night!

    I always see this bar on social media and I finally decided to give it a try. This bar exceeded my…read moreexpectations with the drinks, the size, events, games, and shops. The actual bar is to the left of the entrance. I love that they have a variety of drink specials as well as nonalcoholic beverages. I was hoping to get a taste of the food, but the kitchen doesn't open until 4pm. I would also suggest coming later if you want to catch a show from the live band or explore their seasonal mazes. There's plenty of photo ops, jenga, corn hole, pool, foosball, connect four, pacman, and a few other arcade games. This place is completely filled with 80s, 90s, and early 2000s' nostalgia. It's the perfect spot of tourist and for native austinites. There also a lot of vintage signs from old stores and restaurants that were local to austin as well. I would say this spot is worth the hype! I also give bonus points for the shops & food trucks outside of the bar. The perfect place to hang out with friends and have some fun.

    I found this via search of rooftop bars near downtown and I was pleasantly surprised at this…read morelocation and the venue itself. Arrived around 5:45-6 PM on a Thursday. This is gonna be located on the fifth floor in the JW Marriott. You have to walk through the pool area as this is on the west side of the building. Well, we didn't have a reservation and we were able to get sat right away. I forget the name of the individual who assisted us by placing our order. I ended up getting the espresso martini, and then my other person got an old-fashioned. I was asked if I wanted a shot of Bailey's with the espresso martini and that to me would've been way too much. The martini itself was almost kind of smoky. Not your typical kind of very crisp espresso martini had a nice foam on top of it. We also ended up ordering the sliders to go along as we had dinner reservations, and that bacon jam on there is magnificent. The sliders were all juicy and very well put together bun was very soft and the flavor of everything was really good. I would totally go back just for the sliders. Overall the service was great. The views were also quite stunning of downtown and the ambience overall which is very chill. The front part of the bar was actually closed due to a private event so I can imagine getting to take photos on that corner would be really pretty to see.

    My friends and I had a FABULOUS time here. The ambiance is beautiful and so cozy! Without a res on…read morea Friday evening (around 6:30/7) we were able to get a nice, big cabana area. The couches were so comfortable and the ambiance was so pretty. In terms of the drinks and food, it was okay! Got the job done, but nothing to rave about. I enjoyed the sliders the most. I enjoyed my drink as well (5th Floor Cooldown) once we added the extra sweetener we requested. Without it, I wasn't a huge fan (wasn't sweet, despite being told that it was). Valet parking is only $15 (for 2 hours) with validation. I appreciated that, as it made parking not a headache.
