    "May"azaki drink menu
    Amie N.

    Trekked from the far great north of the Austin suburbs because my friend and I really wanted to go to the "May"azaki themed dinner. The staff were all attentive and nice; the table decor was obviously DIY crafted but it was still cute and creative! The flavor was severely lacking in all of our entrees. The portions were also really small, like, almost Lunchables-sized. My friend ordered Kiki's cake and it was pretty dry. There was not a non-chocolate option, as someone who hates it, which was fine. I was going to give my friend the other dessert but they were able to sub it for a pastry from the counter. The drinks, however, were very well done. I would love to see those as regular staples on the menu. Even though the calcirita was incredibly smoky, like, "coal in your lungs"-type sensation, it was at least still on theme. I would suggest doing cocktail that can be temporarily lit on fire or it comes in a glass dome with a "smoke-like" effect instead if repeating the theme. I will consider coming back one more time for their regular menu but I don't know that it was worth driving down again soon.

    Very cute restaurant; limited menu; nice pastries. The biscuit was the best thing I ordered. I also ordered a couple of scrambled eggs and one carrot cake pancake. Strangely, the pancake was already cut in to bitesize pieces, piled up in the middle of the plate, and drenched in syrup and icing. Way too sweet for me, but tasty enough that I had a few pieces. Felt like a child whose parents had to cut up my food! haha! I thought $30+ for breakfast was a bit pricey, but I guess that's the way it goes these days.....

    Eggs over easy, 2 slices bacon and biscuit.

    Enjoyable impeccable environment. We ordered spicy Bloody Mary's. R ordered chicken salad on sourdough and I ordered breakfast 2 eggs over easy, bacon and a biscuit for $3.50 additional. The chicken salad was large and outstanding. My eggs were cooked perfectly. My first bacon slice was undercooked and I should have sent it back. The second slice was cooked perfectly and was delicious. The biscuit was underwhelming. Dry. I can see how biscuits and gravy would be awesome here. The spicy bloody Mary's were excellent. We will definitely return.

    I met a friend here for breakfast this week. It was my first time trying Ovenbird. I immediately found parking in their free lot out front, which is always nice. Gotta love easy parking! I arrived earlier than my friend, so I ordered a latte at the bar and then chose a table to sit at. There are a bunch of tables inside, so it was easy to find one. There were several people working remotely, and the Wi-Fi password (ovenbirdatx!) was displayed in several places. When my friend arrived, we quickly ordered from our table using the QR code there. We both ended up ordering the breakfast sandwich with sausage and pesto. The latte was good, but a little bit bitter. I still finished all of it, though. The breakfast sandwich was tasty and came out quick. It actually was somewhat bigger than I thought it would be! All in all, a decent place to meet a friend for breakfast or to do some remote work.

    We visited Ovenbird the Monday after the recent ice in Austin. The staff was beyond friendly and the ambiance calming. The London fog on their menu is what drew us in. We ordered the breakfast sandwich, French toast and breakfast plate. The syrup on the French toast was phenomenal..you will eat every last bite. As for the sandwich it had a fresh pesto and sausage to die for with a perfectly cooked egg. The London fog was the star though. Its flavor was packed and every sip a journey. I recommend stopping by and just taking some time to enjoy it all.

    Breakfast Salad
    Susan P.

    Quick visit to Austin and this was our breakfast choice and a good one. The food is abundant and home made. The lemon meringue French toast is rich and true to its namesake but enough for three. The duckfat-fried potatoes were crisp, unctuous and with a few flakes of salt, delicious. Pastries had just the right amount of sweetness. A real treat.

    Chicken Snitzel Sandwich with a side of Potato Salad and Bacon in the background
    Marissa G.

    My husband and I decided to go to breakfast at Ovenbird while in the area. We parked, walked in, looked around and chose to sit outside. The Restaurant is bright and big with lots of seating inside and outside. We sat down at a table and there was a little sign with a QR Code that said to scan with your phone and place your order. We looked at the menu and ordered. It was quick and easy. We grabbed some cold water that was set up on a stand where you could get your own. After getting water we sat and waited for our food. After about 10-15 minutes we got our food that was brought out to our table by a kind woman. The Food My husband ordered Hoppel Poppel which is a bowl that has steak, peppers, onions, potatoes, dressing, an egg, and green onion. I tried it and it was good. The steak pieces were a good size. The egg was good. It was sunny side up which is my favorite. The potatoes were thick and soft on the inside while crispy on the outside. The peppers and onions added flavor. I ordered the Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich which has fried chicken, apple slaw, and dijonnaise on a braided bun. It came with a side of Potato Salad. I ordered a side of Bacon with my meal. The Chicken Sandwich was yummy. The chicken itself was tender. The apple slaw in the sandwich added texture and flavor. The Braided bun was soft. It was a really good sandwich. The Potato Salad was different from what I am used to as it was made with Fingerling potatoes but they were really good. I liked that the potatos were a good size and very flavorful. The Bacon was really good. It wasn't crispy, it was thick and soft. It was a savory side. You can definitely tell that all of the food is fresh. Overall it was a pleasant experience. The atmosphere was nice inside and outside, the service was good, and the food was delicious. An extra note we went to eat breakfast at 8:45 AM on a Saturday morning and it wasn't crowded but it may be packed at other times.

    WEEKEND ONLY Petite Bacon Quiche
    Hannah W.

    I can't believe it's taken me this long to try such a great place that's practically in my own backyard! The coffee was bold and the perfect sweetness. I got a pfeffernüsse cappuccino since they're one of my favorite cookies, and I was not disappointed. It tasted like the iced-ginger cookie had been liquidied into my cup. The only thing was it was a latte rather than a cappuccino. My friend got the raspberry cheesecake blini's and I got the bacon jam tart. Both menu item's were fabulous and hit the brunch spot! It does get a little crowded, but there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. You also might have to travel down the lot for parking since a lot of the spaces are reserved for other businesses, but it's definitely worth it!

    WEEKEND ONLY Latke Nest
    Dylan O.

    The latke nest tastes solid, but is tiny. Not worth the price. Same thing with the little pfaffernoose cookies, 2 dollars for a cookie the size of a walnut? Never again. The drip coffee was honestly just not good. Their service style is also "seat yourself and order online", so the wait staff just drops the food at your table. Not necessarily a problem but when you have questions you have to like wave down whoever you can find. Once I got ahold of a waitress she was very nice but that doesn't redeem the place. I would not come back here.

    Medovic latte
    Pree R.

    A spacious place to grab breakfast on the weekend south of downtown! They have such intriguing seasonal latte flavors, breakfast sandwiches, tacos, pastries, and more! For Saturday breakfast, I had the Medovic Latte which was sweetened with burnt honey and salted caramel flavors. I was also able to customize a breakfast sandwich with an egg prepared over easy, layered with beer cheese, and all sandwiched between a flaky, salted, crispy layered biscuit. The latte was incredibly sweet, so I was only able to tolerate it through mid-cup. I would definitely come back to try other options!

    Matcha
    Linh T.

    This is the CUTEST place to study or have a coffee date! The inside is spacious and there's an outside patio area to sit at too. Inside, there's outlets literally everywhere so I was able to find a spot to sit and do work at. Outside, there's umbrellas to keep you in the shade and it's great. I didn't get anything to eat, so I'll come back to update on that. I got an iced matcha latte and it was yummy! The workers were kind and service was good :)

I made a reservation for Social Hour and opted to sit at the bar, which ended up being a great way to experience the restaurant. The space is gorgeous with lush plants, vintage-inspired details, and an elegant, slightly whimsical vibe that feels both sophisticated and relaxed. It has that special quality where you want to linger and take in all the details. Service was another highlight. The bartender and staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable without being intrusive, making the experience feel polished but welcoming. I ordered the social hour cocktails that included the Margarita which was muddled with fresh strawberries with a tajin rim, A classic choice that was refreshing and well-balanced. Also tried the speciality cocktail which was a Clarified Rum Punch, Smooth, bright, and beautifully presented. The clarification gave it a refined texture while still delivering plenty of flavor. Ordered several items from the Social Hour Bites including *Green Dish, Rainbow Carrot & Goat Feta -- A beautiful vegetable-forward dish with sweet carrots and tangy goat feta. Fresh and thoughtfully composed. *Fritto Misto -- Light, crispy, and a fun shareable seafood option. With shrimp and even a delicate squash blossom fried in a light crispy batter. *Snapper Crudo, peach -- One of my favorites of the evening. The delicate snapper paired beautifully with the sweetness of peach and the slight bitterness of treviso. Fresh, bright, and elegant. Yonderway Pork, Sauce Robert, Figs & Okra -- Richer and more substantial, with the figs adding a touch of sweetness to the savory pork. The okra was a nice addition and gave the dish some extra veggie flavor. Overall, Lutie's is a beautiful destination for a leisurely drink and bite, especially if you appreciate restaurants where the setting is just as memorable as what's on the plate.

It's definitely one of the few restaurants in Austin that feels worth dressing up for, which I really appreciate after living in more aesthetic-driven cities. If you have time, I'd recommend taking a little stroll around the estate to soak in the beauty. The interior is lovely, with hanging pothos throughout that brings so much life and greenery into the space while still complementing the overall design. The bar in particular is gorgeous, and I really enjoyed sitting there with my husband for dinner during happy hour, which runs from 5-10 p.m. on Mondays. My martini came out ice cold and exactly how I like it. The snapper crudo was incredibly fresh, with satisfyingly thick slices. The crispy chicken wings were more standard, so I'd probably skip those next time, but the fritto misto was delicious--it felt like their fancier take on tempura, and I loved it. For dessert, they had grapefruit soft serve instead of the pistachio matcha one I've had before. The grapefruit was a little bitter, but still refreshing. That said, I definitely still prefer the pistachio matcha. Overall, I'd absolutely return to Lutie's, whether for another date night or a girls' brunch. The setting, drinks, and overall atmosphere make it such a special Austin spot.

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.

Georgian cuisine isn't something you see everywhere in the Austin area, so I was really excited to explore the menu and try something different. I was tempted by the Georgian cheese-and-egg flatbread, but since I wasn't extremely hungry, I chose the village platter instead. It was a very vegetarian-friendly option with a variety of pickled vegetables, lobio, which is a red bean Georgian stew, and authentic Georgian cornbread. The platter really did feel like something meant for sharing, which makes sense given the name, but I enjoyed trying a little bit of everything. My boyfriend ordered a chicken dumpling stew and really enjoyed it, and we also shared the mushroom khinkali, which are Georgian dumplings. I appreciated that they had a mushroom version in addition to the meat options. Our waitress showed us the proper way to eat them: hold the top "stem," flip the dumpling upside down, and eat the filled portion first. Traditionally, you don't eat the stem, but I did anyway, especially when combined with the stew, because it was doughy and delicious. The dessert menu also had several interesting options, including one I had previously tried while traveling in Belgrade, Serbia. I was too full to order dessert this time, but it definitely gives me a reason to come back and try more. Overall, I'm so glad places like this exist in the Austin area. It's easy to find the usual bar food, American food, Tex-Mex food, or Italian food, but restaurants dedicated to a specific regional cuisine make dining out feel exciting and more worldly. This was a memorable meal, and I'd definitely return to try more of the menu.
