    bruschetta board
    Priscilla F.

    Postino consistently has amazing deals on wine and bruschetta boards as well as timely, friendly service. The atmosphere is dim lit and cozy even when packed with people. We arrived on an already busy late night and walked a bit past the host stand to find the bartender who kindly got us sat quickly. Our server showed us where the wine and boards were on the menu. I was pleasantly surprised that we got to choose 4 different bruschettas and a whole bottle of wine. We sampled some wine options before selecting the Albariño called Modulation. The bruschetta options have a wide variety. I have been back twice now and each time ordered my favorite - the brie, fig and apple. It pairs wonderfully with the Modulation! The burrata bacon arugula, pesto salami, and artichoke spread are some of my savory favorites. Every experience here has been delightful, Postino may just become a regular part of my Monday and Tuesday routine.

    West coaster panini with soup
    Mary S.

    I just love to have been able to come back and try more of their menu. Our large group was celebrating, so we had several boards to share. For lunch, I tried the West coaster panini, with minestrone soup instead of a salad. Everything was great. The service was very patient and friendly to our large group. It was a work group, so unfortunately no one was brave to order wine, but it goes to show you that this place caters to nondrinkers as well.

    Bruschetta Board
    Christina H.

    Postino is always a little luxury I give myself -- wine and bread, what more could you ask for??! The Bruschetta Board is the star of the show. My personal favorites: 1. Sweet N' Spicy Pepper Jam & Goat Cheese 2. French Onion 3. Prosciutto di Parma, Fig & Mascarpone 4. Brie, Apple & Fig I had no idea I was such a fan of fig--but now I can't get enough! It balances the salty richness of the bread with just the right touch of sweetness. And I'm not typically a goat cheese girl, but you honestly can't even tell here -- the spicy pepper jam completely steals the show with that spicy, sweet, and tangy kick.

    Date night...Postino Bryker Woods. My hubby and I decided to try this restaurant before we went on our quest for a washer and dryer (ours went kaput!). I had been to this restaurant but the hubs had not. We ordered the bruschetta board, roasted sweet potatoes and a glass of prosecco. The hubs rarely drinks. We try to do date once a week, but it does not always work out. We have workers in our home for the last two months, so it puts a damper on date night when they work into the evening. Tobias was our server, but he pointed out that he was interchangeable with any of the wait staff. He quickly took our order and then disappeared. Our food was ready in breakneck speed. Salmon, bacon and fig boards. All were delicious were filling with the sweet potatoes being a bonus. The prosecco was generously poured. We were extremely pleased with the food and drink. We look forward to visiting Postino Bryker Woods again soon. Also, now that the workers are gone, date nights are back on again!

    I was new to Postino, the chain that took over the long-abandoned Burger King. What an upgrade! Postino specializes in bruschetta and has a pretty extensive wine list, plus soups and other lunch-type options. I made a reservation for Sunday brunch and honestly didn't need one, it wasn't crowded at all. My guess is they're not the first place people think of for classic brunch fare like pancakes, breakfast tacos, and big egg plates. They did have French toast, scrambled eggs, and avocado toast on the menu if you're craving something breakfast-y. Happy hour runs until 5, so it's a great spot for slightly more affordable drinks and sharing snacks. It really feels like this place was built for happy hour. We ordered the chicken & mozzarella sandwich and the Italian beef dip. The beef dip came with a hot au jus and was the favorite at the table. The chicken sandwich was decent, but the chicken leaned a bit dry. It came with a spicy aioli, but could have used a bit more sauce or maybe a second spread to bring it together. Service was great! The staff was welcoming from the start and asked thoughtful questions like whether anyone had allergies. They were also very patient and accommodating with our party, which included older hearing-impaired parents. Overall, a really great experience and nice to have in the neighborhood.

    This was my second or third visit to this location since the Yelp events at both local spots. For a chain establishment, it sure has all the feels. The decor is warm and welcoming as are the staff. The bruschetta boards are amazeballs! The wine selection is incredible. My favorite offering is the late-night special Board & a Bottle $25. Can't beat it. Had Friendsmas celebration with dear friends met through Yelp! We had a blast exchanging gifts, eating, & drinking. Our server was so rad...because we were there to celebrate friendship for the holidays, she gave us an order of donuts on the house. What a sweet surprise!

    We had a wonderful lunch with the fam! The staff was friendly and the ambiance was great! We ordered a board to start with and we each tried different options. Everything was amazing!

    Bruschetta
    Michaela M.

    I love postino and every time I come here I am reminded how much I enjoy it! The wine cult membership is no longer around. It's now bottle club I believe. They offer more options for people who wanted more variety. The club is well Worth the money. You get a few discounts and some cute items when joining the club (wine tote, wine stoppers, etc). I ordered bruschetta to go after work when I picked up my bottles and had amazing service from the people working (front check in table and manager). I can't wait to go back so I can try more of the menu!

    OMG grilled cheese with tomato soup
    Gnet A.

    Relaxing dim ambiance was a nice touch to dining and the friendly informed staff was excellent. They have a bar area and spacious dining but yet the place isn't huge and I like that. Parking is small but we found parking right away and we went on a late friday night. Food was served in a timely manner and was all so good. I had the bruschetta board. You can choose four types. I got the apple with brie, prosciutto, mozzarella with tomato and spicy pepper jam. We also ordered the OMG grilled cheese that comes with tomato soup. For dessert we had the donut holes but I call them an elevated funnel cake balls that weren't too sweet and so soft; they came with 3 dips. I definitely recommend this place and will return to try more to try. They have happy hour deals and a board & wine deal on mon and tues.

    Bruschetta boards and mushroom fondue
    Jamie P.

    I am a fan of Postino's. Compared to the Lamar location, this location has free parking, which is a bonus. The dining space is also larger. I already fell in love with their mushroom fondue on my first visit, so I already knew I couldn't go a visit without it. We also had 2 bruschetta boards with a variety of toppings and everything was delicious. The high rise sauv blanc is light and crisp. It did take a hot minute for the food to come out, but it was worth it. Our server was kind and attentive. We'll definitely be back!

    Smoked Salmon board
    Charmaine S.

    Came here with reservation and seated at the round table with very cozy chair. Love! Came here with my son. This is the third Postino review for Yelp event I did! But this Postino has that classier cozier feel. We had the bruschetta board: choices---prosciutto, fig and mascarpione, smoked salmon with pesto, burrata, bacon arugula and tomato, fresh mozzarella with tomato and basil. Had the novia azul wine-smooth yet strong. We also ordered the smoked salmon board because this is one of my faves in Postino. Shout out to Matt as he was very pleasant---checked on us regularly. His service really made us feel at home! The notes you can write and stick on the wall was a nice touch. Clean restrooms with that almost Tuscan feel handwashing area. The lighting, food, wine and the service was superb. A little bit crowded---but not loud. Parking was not easy at peak times I gathered.

    Penny H.

    This was my first time eating at a Postino's, and it was a wonderful experience! First win: plenty of handicap parking near the entrance. (Small detail, huge difference.) The friendly hostess greeted us right away and seated us immediately (we did have a reservation). The place looks great -- cool artwork. One thing I really loved was their community server system--it made us feel well cared for. We had Jo as our server, and honestly, she deserves a five-star review. She was funny, friendly, and knew the food and wine list like she wrote it. Our drinks never hit empty -- which, let's be real, is the true sign of greatness. Now the food... Out of the bruschetta lineup, the chef's street corn stole my heart. No, really. If it doesn't make the permanent menu, I might cry. We also got Nick's Board (total yumminess) and the OMG Grilled Cheese with tomato soup dip, which had me saying exactly that: OMG. I had absolutely no room left for dessert, so I took their doughnut holes to go. Reheated days later, they were still very tasty! My husband liked the wine, and we basically ate and drank ourselves into fat happiness. Bottom line: great food, great people, great vibes. Postino's is officially on our regular rotation.

I usually only go to coffee shops to work, but today, went on a coffee date with my dog instead. There's ground floor parking in the garage that's complimentary for two hours. I kept it simple with a vanilla latte. I noticed they had tacos at the bottom of the food menu, but at $13.25 for two tacos + an a la carte item, I decided to pass. Maybe my expectations were too high (as usual) because it's inside a hotel, but I was hoping for the kind of warm hospitality hotels are known for, but instead, the service felt a bit cold. It didn't exactly make me want to spend more money there. While sitting on the patio, I spotted the food truck outside and thought, "PERFECT. A food truck HAS to be cheaper. Take that Simona's!" I walked up to the window... only to find out it wasn't actually a separate food truck. It was just the pickup window. To order? I had to go back inside to Simona's and place my order with the delightful staff... I ended up ordering two Blue Migas tacos, and honestly, they were just... good, but nothing memorable. They tasted like your average breakfast tacos that you can find all over Austin for less. Despite loving how relaxing the outdoor patio is with its lucious greenery surrounding you and the beautiful French chairs and cafe tables, it's located right next to the hotel pool. If you're visiting on a summer afternoon, expect some extra noise with pool guests. If you're looking for a quiet coffee or a place to work, I'd recommend coming early in the morning instead.

My friend and I sat next to a faux fireplace, where we were greeted by the only bartender working and placed our order. Once he opened the tab, it was disappointing that he never came back to check if we wanted another drink. It wasn't super busy on the Monday we went, but since he was the only one manning the bar, the bartender was always doing something, so I don't blame him fully for not checking back in with us. I ordered a drink called the Velvet Vice. It looked nothing like the picture and tasted similar to an Aviation cocktail with egg whites. I happened to really like it. It is a very relaxed space, but once the speakeasy gimmick wears off, it does not have much else going for it. It is still a cool place, but I am not sure it was worth the lengthy drive to get there.

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.

    Papercut is another one of those fabulous places close to my home (as in walkable) that I've been…read morewanting to get to and finally did with a group of friends made through Yelp. I felt the vibe instantly, like as soon as I put one foot in the door. Magical, sophisticated, worldly, wonderful and more were the feelings that spontaneously hit me. The dark and elegant decor, lighting, design, & layout made me feel as though I were in a high-end Tokyo cocktail lounge. The front room as I mentioned is an intimate bar and lounge area with artwork adorning the walls. It's a modern, minimalist, and sleek space. The artwork is ever-changing (every couple of months or so) and the cocktail menu changes right long with it. Note: artwork is available for purchase. What an absolutely glorious way of combining different mediums (liquid art vs physical art). The craft cocktails & mocktails are the epitome of works of art. I've had great cocktails and mocktails elsewhere but honestly I'd be hard pressed to find anything on this level. You're taken into an entirely different realm just watching the genius of mixologists. It's mesmerizing watching them hone their craft. In the back of the lounge is an enclave of eclectic art and other pieces that then leads you to Konbini, the sushi bar. It's an industrial, warehouse vibe with a long counter that screams hip, Tokyo inspired, late-night eatery. Service is impeccable and welcoming at this cosmopolitan venue. It's truly an amazing experience.

    I am going to leave a similar review here that I am planning to leave for Konbini because at the…read moretime of writing, Papercut and Konbini were doing service in the same room. I was pretty bothered by my experience here. Even aside from their mid drinks, it felt like we were constantly chasing down servers and they were only attentive when they needed something from us. We went to the photobooth to take pictures before we sat down, but the machine ate my money and broke down. I let a server know, and he came back and said he would comp $20 off of our meal, which I was happy about. I honestly only wanted them to refund me my $10 for the photobooth strip. However, they came back a few minutes later and gave us a photo card and told us to use it to pay for the photobooth and it could be used an unlimited amount of times. I was also happy with this solution, but what happened afterwards left a bad taste in my friends' and my mouth. We hadn't gotten menus or been asked what we wanted to order yet. We were just waiting around for drink menus and food menus, so we didn't want to get up and go take photos when they might come back to take our orders. The manager (?) came back to me a few minutes later and asked if we had taken photos yet, and I let him know that we were waiting to be given menus. He said someone else would give us menus, and another server gave us only a drink menu. A few minutes later, we are still waiting for food menus. The same manager came back and asked us to not lose the photo card. At this point, we were frustrated. Why come back constantly to ask for a photo card when we haven't even been given our food or our menus yet? When we finally got our food, a different server asked if we had given back the photo card yet. They were so pressed about getting this photo card back and not actually getting our orders, and we also thought it was a bit distasteful to offer a solution (the $20 off the meal) but then go back on it with the photo card. It was presented as "unlimited" swipes but we were rushed to give the card back, and realistically, we only had enough time to take one set of photos. The drinks themselves were truly just okay. I don't think any of us were particularly impressed with our drinks, but the interior of Papercut is really nice and intimate.
