My boyfriend took me here for my birthday last month and it was one of the best tasting menus we have ever had. We are big foodies and have had a lot of tasting menus- and this one was top notch. Service was great- the only "hiccup" was a customer who came in and sat next to us with his family and had UFC playing so loudly on his phone? First off...why? Also...like maybe just don't? This obviously threw off my vibe haha and the manager was super quick to get our table changed with zero issues. They were very professional and kind about it. That meant a lot to us. The atmosphere was fun and sexy. Definitely a fun date spot. We went around happy hour time just as the sun was setting. So it was super dark in there but I can image at night time, it being even more romantic. Food was AMAZING. We had around 15 courses and had so much fun going through that food journey. There was only one dish out of the 15 where we weren't super impressed with but the other 14?! 5 stars. So creative and such unique flavors that our palates had never experienced before. I must also note that the scallops here- best I've ever had in my life. Highly recommend getting those. That was our favorite course, though it was hard to pick. Oh and I had some kind of cocktail that had strawberry and gochujang?!!!! Yeah, get that. We are already talking about coming back for another round. Best birthday dinner! read more

This restaurant is a must! We just went for my boyfriends birthday and enjoyed every bite of food we ordered. Out of everything, the oysters and scallops were the 2 dishes that made the biggest impressions. I don't think I've ever eaten a cleaner oyster and the toppings just really enhanced the flavors. The scallops were so rich, crispy on the outside and buttery inside. This is one of my new Austin favorites! Also, they validate parking in their garage up to 2 hours on the weekdays which was a nice touch :) Can't wait to go back! read more

If I could give Hestia 1000 stars I would We came here for an impromptu date night and were BLOWN AWAY by the delicious food. Our server was so helpful (given it was our first time and had so many questions about the prefixe menu vs. a la carte). We ended up doing a la carte, because we wanted to choose our items and did not regret a single thing we got: - Oysters - so fresh, perfectly acidic and balanced - Kampachi - loved this too! Fresh, flavorful - Scallops with beef tallow and mushroom gelee - I DIED THIS WAS SO GOOD! So rich, buttery, umami flavor bomb! - Halibut with charred corn, smoked brown butter & trout roe - this was the best thing we ate... the fish was flaky and the sauce was so creamy and delicious. - the Berkshire pork belly - can't complain! It was good for sure, but didn't blow our minds like some of the other dishes - sour dough ice cream - okay I know it sounds weird but it was SO GOOD! Our waitress recommended it! And it's made from sourdough bread scraps - we love sustainable food diversion :) Please go. You'll love it! read more

I will give 5 stars for service alone! This place was an absolute gem and already recommended Hestia to friends on service alone. No surprise, they also had an awesome experience! I came here for an intimate dinner with friends for my birthday. You can choose from three types of menu offerings for your dinner. A La carte, Omakase Course dinner, or wine tasting plus Course dinner! We chose A La Carte so we can try many items that favored our palette. Notable favorites were: smoked crab tart, hiramasa, scallops, Texas Wagyu beef tar tar, Berkshire pork chop, and Dry aged wagyu NY strip. Food and presentation was on point. It was a little hot in the restaurant probably due to the wood fire grill. However, every single staff there made us feel comfortable and welcomed. I will definitely come here again and continue to recommend Hestia to friends! read more

The ambiance at Hestia is sleek and upscale. The food was gorgeously presented. We had a light sampling of their dishes and although the food was good, nothing popped out as stand-out. The most interesting dish was the Texas blueberries. The scallop was a bit salty for our tastes. Texas blueberries - ricotta, mint marigold lemon balm, finger lime Hearth roasted beet - beet soubise, fennel, citrus Scallop - beef tallow, apple kosho, mushroom miso gelee Maitake mushroom - koji broth, green garlic, garlic chips read more

I've had a few dishes this year that have been game changers for me. One of them is Hestia's melon small plate - charentais melon, charred watermelon and shiso. It was absolute perfection with some puffed rice (farrow?) or something that created textural bliss and a creamy sauce of some sort. I also loved the kakigori dessert - would have never guessed from the menu description that it's shave ice. We heard the machine running and inquired about what the noise was - glad we did because this was a fabulous dessert - watermelon, salted cream, burnt honey ice cream. Loved the ambience and service. read more

Really incredible experience. Fantastic food, beautiful plating impeccable service. We debated whether to do the tasting menu and opted for building our own, splitting several dishes from the menu. We did two dishes from each section with crab tart, the scallops and halibut really standing out. Very glad we did. The small plates style of the menu lends itself very well to this. It was also about a third less than the $195x2 the tasting menu would have been and we felt were very satisfied at the end. We were going to skip the halibut but got it on our waiter's recommendation and it did not disappoint! Best scallops I have had since dinner at now closed Lola in Cleveland OH 10 years ago. The dessert looks massive but it was mostly shaved ice, refreshing not to heavy with delicious strawberry flavor throughout. I know the whole wood fired oven is their "thing" but the whole places had very strong smoke smell and I had to wash my clothes and my hair. read more

Sadly disappointed in this Michelin star restaurant. Table of 4 and we ordered ala carte. First thing, servers did not wipe the table once during the meal. There were splatters of food on the table and some of it smeared on my sleeve. Yes, I understand I could have used my napkin, BUT this is a Michelin star restaurant. Gunk sat there until after dessert when the server made some lame joke about dinner being over but that didn't mean we needed to sit at a dirty table. Second, my steak came out very raw after ordering medium (they re fired it and it was perfect on second pass). No compensation for sitting without food for 10 minutes . Third, friend's $130 steak was also too rare, none of the fat was rendered and you had to eat around it as it was so chewy. Overall, food was good and husband said the pork chop was the best he ever had. Dessert was also amazing. I would have given 4 stars except this is a Michelin star restaurant and I expect the same level of service I've received at other Michelin star restaurants over the years. read more

We've been to the sister restaurants to Hestia, so we couldn't wait to go. It did not disappoint! Another home run for this restaurant group. They really know how to do seafood right. The halibut was outstanding and the scallops were the best I've ever had. Luckily we ordered the pan de cristal to soak up the remaining juice from the scallop. The crab tart was unlike anything I've ever tried. They also have a wonderful selection of refreshing cocktails. Our server spent a lot of time with us talking thru the menu and cocktails. Overall, great night! read more

They got the order of my wife's dinner wrong. They delivered the food to the two other diners in our party. They took back my wife's order but left the plates of the others. Which became cold while they corrected my wife's dish. No apologies for getting the order wrong. Unacceptable for a Michelin rated restaurant. read more

Had an amazing experience at Hestia! I was here for a work dinner and we did the 18 course tasting menu. The food was very tasty with a beautiful presentation. Lots of flavor and different twists to the dish. They also did an excellent wine pairing. The staff also stood out to me - very knowledgable about the food and was attentive to our large table. They also validate parking at the garage in the building. read more

I honestly think this may be one of the best meals I've had in all my travels. I'm not going to say I was surprised to find a place this good in Austin... but I AM amazed so many locals don't even know about it. I'd be a regular here for sure. The staff was absolutely wonderful and friendly -- from the hostess, to the server, to the sommelier. Made us feel welcome from the moment we came in. Loved the cocktails and the wine menu here. Highly recommend the South African chenin blanc if they have jr when you're here. The food, though -- oh my! We started with the little crab bites (they made mine on an endive instead of pastry so it would be gluten free). Add a side of delicious black caviar, trust me. Goes perfectly on these, the scallops, and the halibut! The wagyu beef tartar was also fantastic, and with the perfect amount of crunch and creaminess. I got a bowl of endives for mine -- and absolutely loved that pairing. The scallops were absolutely unlike any other scallops I've had -- and I eat a lot of scallops. As amazing as everything I've already described was, the halibut was probably the standout of the night for us. I think it must have been butter-poached, because I've never had one as decadent and tender and delicious. The Berkshire pork chop was also fantastic: my friend doesn't usually love pork and she said this was her favorite pork chop ever. Perfectly cooked to a light pink on the inside (none of that overcooked "the other white meat"), dusted with ash or something like that to bring out the flavor of those oak-fired ovens, and paired with what might be the best plate of vegetables I've ever tried (perfectly tender cabbage that somehow tasted meaty). Honestly, I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong here! read more

Worth every $ and all the hype!!!!! I'm a huge foodie and have tried it all, but this place really impressed me! It's a little hidden, we didn't see it from the street, got confused and almost left, because there is a joint restaurant that shares bar space and serves smaller plates and tapas called Kalimotxo. Hestia is on the dressy side, dark interior and centered around the hearth. Their theme is fire and almost everything they make including some of the drinks are prepared or touched by it in some capacity. The halibut is the BEST dish on the menu, dare I say it's probably the best one I've had in my life! It was moist, extremely flavorful, prepared to perfection and fell apart. Everything from the cocktails, wine, starters, and entrees exceeded my expectations, this place is a must and I would definitely return to try their chefs tasting menu, even at $195 per person. One thing to note you can only do it if the entire table participates. Service is excellent! read more

Excellent time celebrating my birthday here. Love the personal touch of a signed card. We ordered a new melon appetizer that was very refreshing and the beef tartare was very flavorful. The waygu was perfect and the fish had a delicious green sauce. Dessert was very good and had a lot of unique concepts. The carrot ginger cocktail was also outstanding. They change the menu pretty frequently. Great service. Had fun dressing up. Classy place. read more

Wow. It was truly an experience eating here, and I cannot recommend this place enough. Definitely one of my new favorites in town for a nice date night or somewhere to take visitors for a special occasion. The ambiance is incredibly romantic. The style of dining here is meant to share each dish amongst the table. We started off with several dishes to share and our waiter mentioned while what we choose was good, that he recommends we choose more dishes to satisfy all of our appetites since we were hungry. We were unsure of what to pick, so we told him to choose and add dishes he recommends for us (think of it like a Chef's tasting menu) and WOW, our entire table was so glad we let him decide. We had dishes we definitely wouldn't have decided on, and these dishes were even better than the ones we actually did choose ourselves. So if you are unsure of what to pick, ask the waiter what they think is good (or even take your chances like us, and let them pick for you). You'll be surprised how amazing everything is! The dishes that we chose/were picked for us: Smoked tomato tart Texas wagyu beef tartare Oysters Red snapper Sunchoke Hearth roasted beet Scallop Pan de cristal Tilefish Berkshire pork chop Texas wagyu New York strip The standout dishes to our table were: Smoked tomato tart- I'm not even a tomato person (most of our table isn't), and this was incredible! The flakiness was perfection, and flavors were on point. Sunchoke- a surprise that was chosen for us and we loved this! This dish is so incredibly unique and flavorful for it's a sunflower bulb, with the flavor profile being surprisingly meaty and very smoky. We were so shocked to learn this was a sunflower bulb and none of us ever had anything like it. Pan de cristal- another surprise! This was chosen for us and it seriously stood out! This was something none of us would have picked and I'm so glad we had it. The flavor combination of honey, ash cream, and smokiness from the blackened pecan was so well blended with the bread that we cleaned this plate out completely. This dish is unique and you'll be surprised how good it is. I was pleasantly surprised how much I thoroughly enjoyed the non meat dishes here! If you are feeling adventurous, I highly recommend this place and ask the waiter to give you recommendations, you may try and like things you haven't tried before anywhere else. Tip: this place can be very easy to miss and locate! The signage isn't exactly obvious, so keep a close eye out and note that it's right next to where you cross on the bridge! read more

We went here for my girlfriend's birthday dinner and they really made the experience spectacular here at Hestia. We were brought to a table with a "happy birthday" card signed by the whole staff which was really thoughtful! I usually don't like to leave reviews based off of service (I like to focus on the food), but the service here was so amazing I have to mention it. Our server Jackson was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire menu and every component in each dish. My girlfriend and I were having a lot of trouble picking entrees/appetizers (small, shareable dishes) so he had us pick a few that we for sure wanted, and he handled the rest. He literally read our mind several times as we said "dang, I wish we ordered this" and lo and behold, that dish appears next from Jackson's curated dinner experience for us. We're very heavy eaters, and the amount of food was perfect! Okay now for the food. Best bang for your buck for high end dining experience as far as pricing goes. Each dish has some element of "fire" whether it be smoke, or cooked directly on the grill. Everyone raves about the pork which is a must order. The scallops and squash are equally amazing - such different flavor and texture combinations! The squash was a new addition to the menu that was so refreshing for the summer. Love a rotating menu depending on what's in season. Loved this place and will definitely be back read more

Clearly this place is meant to be a culinary ~*experience~* which is great the world needs those places. I went with friends as they are huge food people and felt the menu was lacking as someone who doesn't eat meat. I got the trumpet mushroom and even after an entire bottle of wine I could not eat this mushroom. Word to the wise this mushroom is like the most extreme endpoint on the spectrum of mushroom texture. It didn't taste like anything really. Also the bathroom was fine but I expected more. Maybe a cooler sink. Our check was upwards of $400 I expect a rad bathroom. read more

Hestia - Steak - New American Near Me - Austin, Texas

My pal Tyler and I both enjoyed our first visit to this restaurant, which was quite possibly the hottest restaurant opening of 2019. I'd wanted to try Hestia for years after moving away from Austin in mid-2021-and I finally got my wish. It was quite challenging to score a reservation and I'd opted for just showing up at the 5:30 PM opening that Saturday. Fortunately I landed us two spots at the bar. The post oak-smoked sirloin, prepared right there at the hearth that punctuated the center of the restaurant--certainly left me very satisfied. The scallops and sweet potato were just as good. Right before we left, I opted to take a tour though all of the dining areas and rear patio of the establishment and discovered the bar area, while attractive, pales in comparison with the rest of the restaurant. If you're a true foodie, I hope you can stop in if you haven't been--just be prepared to drop some major coin. read more

Gorgeously presented dishes in a super sleek, airy atmosphere! Overall, one of the loveliest dining experiences we've had in Austin, but food was a bit hit-or-miss. The halibut with charred corn and brown butter was delicious, and the lion's mane mushroom with beet sauce genuinely tasted like steak -- super memorable and well-executed. The scallops were too salty for our taste, though, and the peach dish was also prettier than it tasted. Would definitely recommend asking your waiter for recommendations. The matcha lavender kakigori was a great, light dessert to end on! This was one of the better kakigoris I've tried because the ice didn't taste too icy -- there was enough sauce/flavor throughout.

Yum...That's all I really need to say. This review is a bit old so I apologize if these items are no longer on the menu. We came to Hestia right before they got ranked one of the top restaurants in town but they still had no issue being packed. The entire meal was fantastic. Everything from the appetizers to the finishers left a fantastic impression. To top it off, the servers were all excellent. Lastly, as a guy who drinks a lot of water, there is nothing I appreciate more than a dining service that keeps your water filled without having to constantly ask. We ordered the following: Tomato Tarte Halibut Waygu steak Bread Chocolate mousse I never thought I would say this but, I have never been so happy to eat a bite size tomato tarte. Although small, this was the most flavor packed explosion I have ever tasted. If its on the menu, don't question just get it, and don't think about sharing it. Luckily the rest of the meal following the tarte did not disappoint. Each dish was had excellent flavor and left us simply wanting to come back. I highly recommend this place if you can get in. read more

The food was absolutely incredible. The smoked crab tart was a taste sensation, a celebration in a bite. I totally understand why the scallops are the most popular dish - everything in that dish tasted like the best version of itself. And the sourdough buttermilk ice cream was surprise after surprise. Just a little disappointed that i waited 30 mins after my reservation time for a table, and there was no gesture to make up for the wait. The food was miraculous and the service was otherwise beautiful. read more

Solid 5 stars!!! Amazing food, service and a very comfortable atmosphere. Went there with 3 other work associates after one of our folks has dined there several times before. We tried a little of everything from the small bites to their entrees. We started with the Scallops, Sourdough Bread with this amazing Mushroom Butter, Beets, Butternut Squash, Crab Tarts and Carpaccio. All amazing! Our entrees were the Mushroom, Halibut and Wagyu Sirloin. All outstanding! Add a couple of bottles of great French Wine and night was complete. If I lived in Austin this would become a regular place for my wife and I. Give them a try as I'm confident you'll be happy afterwards. read more

Oh Hestia you will forever have a special place in my heart. The love of my life took me here on the most amazing first date with the most amazing food on 2/9/21. He recreated our date on 2/9/22 and WOW!!! The ambiance is perfect, we sat in front of the open kitchen which is my favorite and watched everyone create art. They knew it was our anniversary, brought us a card signed by everyone, brought complimentary champagne, and each waiter stop to say congratulations and how honored they were to have us celebrating with them. We did the chef's special aka omakase which does not disappoint!!! Each bite is so exquisite it's almost too beautiful to eat...almost! The flavor compounds hit you on each level like individual explosions in your mouth! It's orgasmic without a doubt!! We were both so full by the last dish we could only have a couple bites. We still had dessert though the sourdough ice cream sign jam was mind blowing! I'm positive it's impossible for them to create anything that doesn't taste amazing! Well done chefs!!! It's pricey but worth every dollar, the experience is priceless. Oh and the Bad Rabbit marg is out of this world!!! Thank you all for an unforgettable anniversary evening. read more

Hestia - Scallop - New American Near Me - Austin, Texas

Will start by saying that I wish my disposable income was a lot higher so I could eat at Hestia at least once a month. Our Hestia experience started with friendly service at the door. We then meat Alexis? (apologies if I misspelled her name) who was very thorough yet objective with her information and recommendations. She asked us to give her our entire order at once and then allow her to define the order in which the dishes would be presented. The meal started w scallops, whose presentation and taste still linger in my mind from how good the were. The carpaccio was next and the flavors worked great together and the dish fun to eat. The bread came out third, and it was so fresh and hot, you almost become giddy taking a bite of it. Then the main entrees came out together, pork and wagyu sirloin. Both were tender and juicy. Cannot go wrong w either one. The cocktail and wine selection were at par with any other fine restaurant. The food is definitely at the top tier of Austin and probably of the major culinary havens around the country. read more

Expensive for the quality Birthday celebration for our son and we read all the reviews and was looking forward but were disappointed. The food is mediocre at best and the staff tries too hard to sound articulate but comes across as not genuine. We paid well over $500 and were not satisfied. Drinks are good but not the best. Started with Oysters and tomato tart. I would skip the tart and the oysters are from the gulf coast, so that should say enough. We had 3 small plates and those were decent. The beet salad, beef tartare, and Kampachi. Beef tartare was actually very good. The halibut is the best option on main menu. Our server was ok but not the best. Seems to be too much in a hurry and rushed us. My biggest pet peeve is when the server picks up the bill before we are done! It's extremely rude and after the cost I wasn't expecting to be rushed out. Portions are small and way overpriced. There is not much to Hestia and would not recommend. read more

My wife and I had a great dining experience. Got there early because we didn't want to be late, they offered to seat us early which was awesome because we were so excited to begin the experience. Reuben was our main server, and he was awesome (very personable, fun to talk to and gave some great wine suggestions) and the staff overall was very attentive. We did the tasting menu and were glad we did. We were impressed with each bit, but the scallop blew us away! It was amazing. At the end they brought us a dessert that had just hit the menu called fromage, very novel dessert, tasted so good and it had multiple elements that we enjoyed exploring. Bravo, Hestia! Y'all delivered a great experience! read more

Food: Challenging, weird , with some hits (the meat and the $15 bread), and huge side misses (bland peaches, uninspiring tomato salad, mystery dishes, okra?) and a weird charcoal tasting desert thing with a small blob of ice cream. Yuk. Service: Excellent Ambiance: Very noisy when we were there. Two tables of guys (one with 10 the other with 12); lots of drama. We were in a corner table and could barely hear each other. No sound deadening that we could see. Would we go back. Yes, and sit at the bar and have a drink, steak, bread and a glass of wine. Nothing else. read more

Perfect restaurant for a romantic date night or celebration! The service was top notch from the minute we walked in. Came here to celebrate graduating nursing school/passing my nursing boards and each employee who came to our table (host, server, chef, and manager) congratulated me. There was even a handwritten congratulations card on the table. The little touches were so thoughtful! The food was IMPECCABLE. Scallop $28- THE BEST SCALLOPS I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! I didn't know scallops could taste SO GOOD. Our minds were blown. Completely worth the $$. Halibut $46- perfectly flakey and so flavorful while allowing the fish to come through. Chicken $38- super juicy and yummy. Sourdough buttermilk ice cream $14- very interesting concept. It was a little too sour for our taste but still worth a try. read more

Yes, the food is as amazing as it looks. There is nothing spared in terms of food, service, or the fine details, in making it quite a memorable and lovely dining experience. | Food | We treated ourselves to the chef's tasting menu. - 5 stars - Parker rolls. Buttery goodness. You'll want to stop at just one but it's very hard to do! - 4 stars - Appetizers - all meant to be single bites (tart w/trout roe -- oyster w/buttermilk & white fish roe, caviar profiterole, chicken skin w/chicken liver mousse, terrine brioche w/canteloupe amb), 4 stars: We kept comparing everything to that oyster (5 stars). Tying for second is the chicken skin/liver and the tart w/trout roe. The caviar profiterole is good but not as flavorful as the trout roe, and the terrine was not my favorite but I'm not a big fan of pate. - 5 stars - Kampachi (Amberjack): Arrived as the center star in a bowl of smoke. The buttery fish fell off the fork and the citrus & blackberry flavors permeated the fish in all the right ways. - 4 stars: - Embered apple w/matsutake, hazelnut & persimmon gel: A unique dish with a melange of flavors that work amazingly well together. - 5 stars: Butternut squash w/buttermilk taleggio, chile & pecans. The pairing of the butternut squash with the taleggio cheese is delightful. - 4 stars: Quail w/beet shiokoji marinade, blackened koji. It arrived with a one-minute timer and you sear it on the table top grill. The savory sauce, even with the egg mixed in, was still delicate enough not to overpower the quail. The quail tasted like quail, a bit gamey. It was cooked perfectly though. 5 stars: Scallop, w/pear kosho, beef tallow, mushroom gelee. Charming presentation. A perfectly seared scallop and interesting flavors that somehow blend wonderfully together.   5 stars: Halibut, w/lactic habanada butter, turnip, roe. Again, the buttery, tender fish was perfectly done. The remaining sauce is the reason you'll need that second Parker roll. 5 stars: Dry aged Texas wagyu ribeye, w/mustard greens, oyster mushrooms & potato croissant. The meat was tender and had a nice smoky essence. The oyster mushrooms were heavenly. 3 stars: Buckwheat ice cream w/blackened pear. The buckwheat ice cream is was icy and a somewhat bland, and there were only dots of pear. It wasn't terrible but not great either. | Drinks | We enjoyed our pre-dinner cocktails at the bar, my Spring gin-and-tonic was refreshing and a nice twist on the classic. My friend had the Bad Rabbit cocktail with dinner and it is unique and oh so tasty! The stamped ice cube is classy. There is a different cocktail menu for dinner, along with an extensive wine list. I opted for a glass of the Mouton Burgundy pinot with my dinner and it was a perfect compliment to my meal. | Ambience | The space has divided rooms and we were in the smaller room, which is more intimate, however we did not have a view of the open kitchen which might have been more fun.   | Service | The service model here is unique, as each dish was brought out and explained by someone different. Service was impeccable and lived up to a fine dining reputation. Our plates were cleared and new utensils provided with every course. read more

I would be doing the restaurant a disservice by start by saying anting other than this was the best food presentation and atmosphere I've ever experienced. Every piece of the dining experience was properly curated. The tables had a hidden cutlery drawers. Our cocktail experience was superb. Our server took us on a journey of the menu allowing us to try 14 of 16 published items. It was exquisite. The entirety of the meal was family style and tapas style. In order we tried the pan se cristal, the watermelon relish oysters, the scallop, endive, peach, salsify, the halibut, the red ranger chicken, lions make mushroom, the bavette, and wagyu sirloin. I'm not a dessert person naturally but I can say if there is one must try ( as if they aren't all must try) is the sourdough buttermilk ice cream. It is exquisite, delicious, light, creative, and enough for a table of 4-6. 10 of 10 stars from the moment you arrive. One of Austin's very best! read more
