    Great cozy restaurant in north loop! We sat at the counter--service was great and had front row seats to 4 chefs/cooks make food for a full house. Service was very friendly. The food was pricey for a neighborhood bistro but food was definitely upscale. Duck boudin was excellent. Main dishes of fish and campanelle were also delicious. I'm a sucker for popovers and this place does them right? Would skip the watermelon salad

    Been here twice now. I don't understand why these guys don't have a strong 4.5* review. Both times they did not disappoint. I think their burger is the best burger in Austin if not in the US. I have had aot of burgers in my life and am yet to find one as good. The patte is amazing, so is the potatoes and the croquettes. They have a nice wine selection that doesn't break the bank.

    Popovers and Peach Salad
    Stephanie K.

    A maiden voyage exploring the dinner menu for Austin Restaurant Week, and another reason to love F&D, a chef-driven restaurant known for "foreign-inspired food, domestically sourced." In my experience, this equates to the best of both worlds - comfort food on a seasonally-driven menu with some key staples that keep me coming back for more. Atmosphere is cozy, although the details in presentation and service are first-class. We started with the signature Gruyère & Black Pepper Popovers - light & rich at once, with an original and slightly sweet charred onion butter. Also exceptional: a garden salad with mixed greens, end-of-season peaches, goat cheese, and smoked walnuts - perfectly balanced in a light vinaigrette. The Ham & Gruyère Croquettes took everything I love about grilled cheese and packaged it up in a few elegant bites (Dijon cream sauce for a zesty grown-up finish). My highlight (and Achilles when dining - also judging by very high standards) was the handmade Nduja Radiatorre - pasta perfectly al denté, clinging to a rich and savory sauce with back-end heat of spicy sausage, contrasted with sweet fresh corn, exquisite. To finish - a Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake. Fudgy, studded with pecans, hitting all the high-notes just like Grandma makes it. Laura was delightful to share time with, taking care of every detail, explaining the nuances of food preparation, and making us feel at home. Trouble is deciding whether to come back for brunch or dinner!

    We always really enjoy coming here. We usually walk in for brunch and find seating right away! The popovers are great, but huge. You can order just 1! The space can get a little loud, but they also have an outdoor space for seating that's covered and heated (in the winter). My favorite dish is the steak for brunch. Check out on the weekend!

    In town for business, met a few coworkers here for dinner tonight after someone mentioned seeing F&D on Triple D awhile ago. About a 25min drive from my hotel but WELL WORTH THE EFFORT! This place is fantastic. Very small indoor seating with some patio dining available. Staff was great. Fully explained the menu and made a few recommendations based of local favs. We ordered 2x popovers and they were very good. Perfectly cooked to a golden finish but soft and warm on the inside. I did not try the gnocchi since I devoured a full popover but my table mates ate that all up as well. My steak was cooked exactly as ordered and was amazingly tender with a perfect crust along the edges. Honestly, wouldn't have been surprised if the steak was $50+ (it was NOT!). My total bill was $44 for 1 order of popovers and the steak. Definitely worth the drive and the money. Having the bar/kitchen open is a pretty cool vibe as you can watch them prepare the food right in front of you. Tables were tightly packed since the space is small but it didn't feel cramped. Still have enough privacy to enjoy conversation without talking over other groups. Parking is a bit tough but I got very lucky (black Mustang was my rental right up front) Would absolutely make a reservation at F&D again!!

    This place is super cute with qualityyyyy food and wine. It's an open kitchen concept, which is really cool. I recommend happy hour for cheaper prices, as it is fairly expensive - perfect for a date night. Their Tuesday deal (oysters and 1/2 off wine bottles) is amazing. Parking is limited on site but there is plenty of neighborhood parking.

    Steak and eggs
    Sarah L.

    Need to do my yearly review for one of my favorite spots. Can confirm all of 2024 that this spot is very consistent in quality. The steak and eggs brunch is what we come here for. It never disappoints. It's just the right amount of food to not leave hungry or too full. The popovers are our other go-to. They are addictive, the butter is crack dip. The bread is perfectly fluffy. Service is always super attentive and kind. They changed the waiting area some. They still have the outdoor seating which is where we sat this time. Love F&D and hope they stay around for a good long time! They get a Michelin star in my eyes.

    It's been a while since I've been to F&D and was glad I got to try it again this past weekend for brunch with some out of town friends who were visiting Austin. Our waiter, Davy (like Crockett) was very helpful and accomodating. We forgot to tell him to split the bill upfront so he was able to do it after and even took some photos of us after we finished. :-) We enjoyed the pop overs, pancakes, benny, etc. It was the first time I'd had eggs benedict with collard greens! Yum. We had one issue with lukewarm coffee but that was corrected quickly. We sat outside in the covered patio area and the weather was overcast but pleasant. I look forward to future brunches and meals here!

    I went to their parking lot pig roast celebrating their 15th anniversary - these people know how to throw a party! The pork was so good, the sides were incredible - especially the potato salad. I love that they do farm to table nose to tail, and they have a lovely local neighborhood vibe. Everyone was so friendly too. Can't wait to go back to try their regular food, I've heard their ice cream is bomb.

    Wine!
    Katye H.

    This place is small, warm, and intimate. We came for happy hour, but there wasn't one tonight! Instead, we got tasty dollar oysters, half price wine, and the three course mushroom sampler. It was oh so good. The mushrooms were foraged by some of the chefs on a trip to a west coast volcano and crafted into a lobster bisque, carbonara, and a white chocolate mousse. The bisque was a little sweet and creamy smooth like a butternut squash soup. The pasta was my favorite- cheesy and savory (I all but licked the plate). I don't usually love desserts, but this one was perfect- the crumbled honeycomb and crisp mushroom contrasted nicely with the light, fluffy mousse. A real treat. I loved sitting at the chef station, trying to match the menu descriptions to the YUM assembled in front of us. The chefs were busy at their craft but still friendly and responded kindly to some of our commentary. I recommend reserving that space unless you don't want to know how much butter goes into making your food decadent. Everything looked special, even the ice cream and Texas sheet cake (we were shocked!). I can't wait to go back to try...everything!

    Crispy pork and grits sunday brunch
    Stephanie W.

    I keep driving by here and they always have the cutest vibes with their outdoor tent patio seating and fairy lights, and I'm so glad I FINALLY went! They only do brunch on Sundays, but everything was so delicious from the shared fresh baked goods ($5-10): gruyere and pepper popovers, cardamom cinnamon roll, zucchini bread with lime creme fraiche, and the mains ($14-20): frittata, focaccia benny (YUM), fried pork grits (a little rich and salty), and light and fluffy berry lemon ricotta crepe. The service was also amazing and really sensitive/observant of our needs (when to bus plates, but not too early-- wiping down tables when needed etc), while also not being "OVER" present Honestly, considering our table got all this with coffee / juice and left STUFFED, $30 after tax and tip seemed like a pretty good deal. I definitely want to come back here for their dinner and dessert options some other time!!

    $1 East Coast Oysters! This was just our first dozen! Loved them so much we ordered ANOTHER dozen!!

    Some friends took us here for a birthday celebration, taking a chance because they'd never been…read morethere either. What a find! Rosé Gosé (note accents) is in an unassuming Airport Blvd location (right next to Jewboy Burgers, an Austin favorite). It is run by a couple from Belarus that came here right after Covid to open up a restaurant, with a sister in Minsk. Defying expectations, the menu is not Balkan at all. If anything, there is a strong Asian influence with poke bowls and a lot of seafood. But the menu also offers beef tartare on their raw bar menu, as well as a steak offering and grilled chicken. It's a diverse and adventurous menu, all the way from small plates to hefty mains and vegetable sides. For the dessert, try the pavlova, a meringue confection stuffed with coconut mousse and topped with lime sorbet and a grapefruit slice sidecar. Everything is superbly presented, and unquestionably fresh and healthy without veering into twigs and berries territory. The cocktail menu is also playful, with a lot of nontraditional glassware and slight spins on popular drinks; their version of a Paloma uses prosecco instead of a splash of soda. The servers are all dressed in rosé jumpsuits and very attentive. The space is amiable and elegant without being pretentious. The table spacing is a little close, so that conversations carry between guests. The table setting has some nice touches, like the little wooden bench that holds your fork and knife off the table. In European fashion, water can be asked for but it won't be served with ice. Plan on taking your time and enjoying course after course.

Rosé Gosé was a delightful Mother's Day lunch spot. It is a whole vibe, and it is uniquely French! When we walked in an artist was playing romantic music on his keyboard, which set the tone for the brunch. It is a small restaurant inside with a larger area of seating on the patio. Of course, our reservations were inside in the comforts of air conditioning. You immediately notice a wine wall hence the name Rosé Gosé. The restaurant has many windows which provide lots of natural light. The tables house miniature yellow roses and utensils sat in a small wooden block...very French. All the servers were dressed in mauve clothing that resemble scrubs from a hospital. If someone stepped out in a French beret, I would have fallen over. Our server, Sergey, immediately served us water and took our order. The restaurant was highlighted as a modern European bistro. The atmosphere was charming, elegant, and stylish making it ideal for a Mother's Day brunch. My hubby ordered a ribeye, eggs and French Fries. I ordered the avocado toast with salmon and egg whites. While I'm not a huge red meat eater, I tasted a piece of the hubs ribeye and it was nicely prepared. My avocado toast was yummy to the nth degree! Everything was perfect. The avocado was precisely cut and at the right level of softness. The salmon was chopped into tiny little squares and so enjoyable to eat. We could not be more pleased. With a name like Rosé Gosé you would expect their drinks to be superb. My hubby ordered a hibiscus tea, which was delightful. I ordered a mimosa that had high quality ingredients and was perfectly balanced...so smooth. We were also pleased with the drinks. This was the first time at Rosé Gosé, however, it definitely will not be the last.

The fried mozzarella was so delicious! Crispy on the outside, cheese pull on the inside, and a nice marinara around it. The bruschetta was so refreshing! I loved how creamy the ricotta was and it was an overall amazing antipasti. My only complaint for that was that the toast was a bit too hard / crispy. The meatballs were like regular meatballs although on the larger side! I liked the sauce that it came with. We also had 3 pasta plates however I only remember the name of one of them. They were all delicious, though! Just by chewing all of the pastas, you can tell that they are all made in house. Perfectly chewy and the sauce is amazing! The rigatoni was so good with a hint of spice. You can't go wrong with rigatoni. We honestly walked into this restaurant thinking we wouldn't be full since the plates looked smaller but the plates were actually pretty deep! We all walked out spending $25 each and filled to the brim. All items were very good and they gave us a complimentary post card before we left. Neat place, I'll be back!

Being a mail order customer isn't for the faint of wallet because it makes sense to order at least six cheeses at a time, and that's not a small amount of money. Trying to factor in the timing is also part of the experience. Some of their cheeses can be frozen, and some are recommended to not be, like the brie. They recommend consuming the cheeses within 7 days of opening. It's just my husband and me in the household, so finishing a whole package of cheese in a week's time could be daunting. Speaking of the brie, it wasn't my favorite of the selection I received, which was a curated collection of Lorie's from Shark Tank. When we first got the delivery Dear Hubby and I set up a charcuterie tray for ourselves as a late lunch / early dinner. So many wonderful tastes! It was a delightful experience to mix the cheeses with crackers, salamis, Mediterranean olives, and fruit / jam. The sweet chevre offering was divine. Might have been my favorite. We opened four of the cheeses to sample them and left two for later. It's been wonderful for me to have better vegan cheeses than what the local grocery stores tend to stock. Real flavor! Real creaminess! With the holidays approaching, I'm considering when to place another order to carry me through the time when having special cheese would add to the edible side of the season.

With this place coming up on almost 500 Yelp reviews and sitting at four+ stars, that says something. It's located at a convenient location on 51st just a few blocks from I 35 and sits at the corner of Lancaster beneath three stories of apartments. There's only about six parking spaces available in front of the restaurant, otherwise you'll have to park in some other retail spaces further away. Inside it's quite small and intimate with about a dozen tables on the floor and 8 chairs at the bar. They do post some daily specials on the board when you walk in or you can stick to the menu. They do have a wine menu, but it's only limited to 22 choices at 2-3 times retail. We started off with some fried cheese ravioli and calamari. I loved the light breading on the calamari rings and no tentacles were included. My main course of chicken Parmesan was some of the best I've ever had. My guest enjoyed his entrée of shrimp and muscles. We washed it all down with a glass of their organic primativo. We then finished it all off with a dense chocolate fudge cake. You can easily spend $200 a couple for apps, entrées, wine, dessert, and tip. We showed up on a Friday evening without a reservation and there was just a few people in the restaurant, but it's best to make reservations for Valentines. If you're looking for pizza, you won't find it on the menu here. It's a place I'd come back to. Check out the informative photos.

I had a hunch this would be the perfect spot to take my father, who loves classic Italian-American food, so I made sure to bring him along for my first visit. The ambiance is quite quirky, quaint, and fun. It's very casual, and has an obvious Italy theme to it. It's not fancy, but it is a great time. The wait for a table was non-existent and in general the place was never too crowded (despite being somewhat on the smaller side). Parking can be a bit odd, because the primary parking lot is one way with parking spots only on the right side of the thoroughfare. If they run out of space there is a large parking lot behind the building. The service wasn't bad. It was our primary server's first day on the job, so she was learning the menu alongside us. What she lacked in knowledge of the menu, she made up for in being polite and speedy. We enjoyed our food overall. In general, it was your standard classic Italian-American fare, and the fettuccine alfredo (which I normally am not the biggest fan of) was my favorite on the menu. Overall, I'd recommend this as a solid casual spot to check out.
