    Met a few friends here this past weekend and had a fun time. The food was delicious as were the drinks. We were seated at a booth and shared several items. I was lucky to find street parking not too far away. It was my first time here but when I walked in, it looked familiar and I realized I had been at this restaurant when it was another one. They had the World Cup game on the TV near the bar so you could hear it but not see it from our booth. Our waiter was very helpful in guiding us to great food and drink choices. The salmon was perfectly done and the hushpuppies were a great app to share. I look forward to going back and trying more of their items!

    Overall: 4.3/5 [dine in] Happy hour runs all day on Mondays which is a great deal. Just know that they require a credit card to make a reservation and automatically add 20% gratuity for large groups. Our server Nathan was phenomenal. They also had a promotion where you sign up for their newsletter and get half a dozen oysters for free, and we got to try one of each which was a nice touch. One small hiccup was that my friend received a cup of chowder instead of the bowl she ordered. She didn't notice until our other friend's bowl arrived and it was noticeably bigger. They apologized and brought her a bowl right away which we appreciated. Sound and Spirit Margarita ($8 MM): This was the only margarita half off for the month of May. I thought it was pretty good and I really liked the blood orange foam. My husband got a glass of Averaen Pinot Noir ($8 HH) and the Loveblock Sauvignon Blanc ($7.50 HH). Both were okay but honestly you can find better wine at Costco for less. Wagyu Slider ($5 HH per slider): A basic slider but great as a starter. The wagyu patty was juicy and flavorful. Salmon Dip ($6 HH): A generous portion of Boursin cheese and hot smoked salmon with really crispy chips. We had a lot of cheese leftover though. Shrimp and Lobster Roll ($26): Really good and probably one of the best cold lobster rolls we have had in a long time. They did not skimp on the seafood and the fries were thin and crispy. The portion was huge and we still had leftovers.

    I came here for a friend's birthday and honestly we had such a good time. We were a group of 12 and our server was super nice, attentive and handled our big table like a pro. The place is really nice, it's inside at The Westin by the lobby. Food was sooo good. I got the lobster avocado toast and loved it. I also ordered the crab hush puppies and they were really good too, crispy and soft in the inside. The oysters were definitely the highlight. At $1 each, they're 100% worth it. Perfect to share and they tasted fresh. They have a whole oyster bar I also had a drink that reminded me of a piña colada (I think it was called something like Mahi Mahi) and I loved it, super refreshing and not too sweet. We ordered a Key lime pie for the birthday girl and wow, I would come back just to try that again, it was so good! Btw, they have valet parking ($10 for 2hrs) As a person that really loves seafood this was really good experience

    Clam linguini
    Carol V.

    My husband and I went for date night, our server DJ or RJ (sorry I am unsure) was so friendly and knew the menu very well even made suggestions, can't say enough good things about him. We had fries, crab hush puppies and a bowl of clam chowder each. Drink for me was Mai oh mai and they did not skimp on the alcohol woo! Entree was clam linguine and Blackened TX redfish that hubby loved. The place was set up nice a little noisy coz you can see food preparations but fun to watch. It is located inside Westin Austin Hotel in 5th St.

    Oyster Shooters
    Michelle Y.

    The seafood here was fantastic. We started off with the Petite Seafood Plateau. The shrimp was huge, and the oysters were very fresh and sweet. My friends and I also really enjoyed the Kennebec Chips & Salmon Dip. The dip itself was creamy and paired well with the chips, which our waiter kept providing more of throughout our meal. Unfortunately, their pasta was just okay. We ordered the Seafood Tagliatelle to share among the table. We had expected a more Aglio e Olio-style sauce, but it was more like your basic Alfredo white sauce. The seafood in the pasta was, again, fantastic, but the pasta itself was nothing special. I would recommend sticking to the strictly seafood items on the menu. My friends and I were also disappointed with the Point Judith Calamari. The fried exterior was incredibly mushy. The service was great though! I would come again, but perhaps just for the raw bar.

    Brown Sugar Brisket Burnt Ends
    Erikka T.

    What lovely place! It is chic and comfortable with warm decor and low lighting. We stopped by for Easter Brunch and they were able to accommodate us, even without a reservation. The wait staff worked as a team and our food was brought out promptly, each dish more delicious than the last! The Brown Sugar Brisket Burnt Ends were so savory and sweet, I highly recommend them! I loved trying a flight of Oysters. Their descriptions of each oyster were spot on and I knew exactly what I was getting. I also got the Clam Chowder (so fresh and hearty) and Crab Hush Puppies (savory and sweet, crispy and delicious). My husband got the Halibut Fish and Chips and the fish was cut thick and was warm and flakey, a perfect cut of fish prepared to melt in your mouth! Go visit them, you won't be disappointed!

    Oysters were delicious! I honestly don't remember how many doz we ordered but they were fresh and chilled nicely. My fav was the high roller. The biscuits with their signature butter and jam were good enough to just to leave me wanting more mote more! 5/5 Hush puppies are a must! 5/5 I personally wasn't a fan of their canned drinks but other maybe. They were pretty strong though. Everyone we encountered was fun and welcoming. Our server even gave is great recommendations for night shenanigans

    Shrimp cocktail and ceviche shooters

    If you're looking for a top-tier seafood spot in Downtown Austin, Skipjack Oyster is a must-visit. The vibe is perfectly balanced; clean, semi-upscale, and polished without feeling stuffy. The food was incredible from start to finish. We leaned heavily into the seafood, and it did not disappoint: the oysters were fresh and high-quality, the shrimp cocktail was excellent, and those ceviche shooters were a delicious highlight. If you go, do yourself a favor and order the crab hush puppies--they are absolutely addicting. Even the Wagyu burger was standout, proving they can handle the turf just as well as the surf. What really elevated the night, though, was the exceptional service. Our waiter was incredibly friendly and offered great suggestions that hit the mark. The kitchen was fast, and the staff was so attentive that my water glass never even reached the halfway point before being refilled. It's rare to have a meal where literally everything is great, but Skipjack nailed it. I'll definitely be back!

    Oysters so fresh
    Robyn W.

    My family picked this place out of a list I gave them for Christmas Eve Dinner. And let me say this - it was our favorite meal of the trip. We had reservations, and there was no wait when we arrived. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Open design with luminous lighting set the mode for the evening. From our booth, we could easily see the oyster bar and the cocktail bar. Service was excellent with the whole crew assisting to ensure your evening is going well and you have everything you need, any time you need it. We have a few different cocktails and all were good, but man on man - the martini was the best I've ever had! Crisp, smooth, with the slightest hint of citrus. I had a few ;) The oysters were some of the best, too! Clean and fresh! The calamari was decent, but that was the only thing I wasn't really blown away by. All the other dishes were "chef's kiss"! And I don't know how we did it, but we made it to dessert! Both were good, but let's be real - it was just too much LOL. Overall - I really loved this place and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone!

    Clam chowder $11
    Mike M.

    Skipjack Oyster is a relatively new restaurant located in the Westin hotel downtown and I had dinner there recently. Inside it has an upscale feel and look to it with dark lighting in the evening giving it a romantic vibe to it. It has its own separate street entrance but is also accessible through the hotel lobby. The restaurant specializes in oysters and has a full bar attached to the main dining room. I ordered a bowl of clam chowder to start $11 followed by the prime rib stroganoff for another $29. The chowder arrived first as requested. In a shallow bowl it had bacon, celery and potato with the clams. I liked it (3.5). When the stroganoff arrived it was initially served luke warm. After testing it and informing our waitress it was sent back for a new dish. This took another 15 minutes or so. When the new plate arrived it was hot as it should be. The entree had grilled mushrooms and crispy onions on top of the prime rib and pasta. Taste wise I thought it was ok but nothing special (3). The temperature problem was handled very professionally by the waitstaff along with the manager coming by for a visit. I will say I was impressed by that level of service. I give an overall score of a 3 for taste reasons only. I would be happy to return here but would try something else next time. This restaurant is probably more like a 4 star place but this was my experience.

    I went here for a networking happy hour event at SXSW and thought the service, food, and ambiance were all above and beyond. I can't wait to go back for dinner to get the full experience. We loved our server Solo. I enjoyed their crisp Australian Sauvignon Blanc with the apps on the buffet including bbq shrimp and grits, crab hushpuppies, fried green tomatoes, tuna poke (my top fav),and veggie tarts. I didn't get to try any oysters at this event, but I am a big oyster fan, so I will be back to the oyster bar soon! Beautiful space located in the Westin lobby. They have their own entrance or you can enter through the lobby.

    Sound and spirit

    Food was amazing. I can't wait to go back for their all night happy hour on Mondays The lobster avocado toast was my favorite the burnt fruit is a nice and different flavor on toast. The fries were also really good. Cooked and seasoned perfectly, fish (on the fish and chips) had a nice crunch and barely breaded.

    Wow! What an incredible experience at Sixty Vines in The Domain!…read more We made our reservation through OpenTable and mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. When we arrived at our table, we were surprised with a handwritten Happy Anniversary postcard and a beautifully presented gift--such a thoughtful touch that immediately made the evening feel special. Our server, Polina, was absolutely fantastic. She took the time to learn what styles of wine we enjoy and brought us a few samples before helping us choose an amazing wine flight. Her recommendations were spot-on! We also enjoyed a custom charcuterie board and the prosciutto & fig pizza, both of which were outstanding. To top it all off, Andrew, the manager, stopped by our table to make sure everything was perfect. We loved learning about Sixty Vines' unique wine-on-tap program and appreciated their commitment to sustainability, including composting food scraps. (They didn't have much to compost from our table--maybe a bite or two of pizza crust! ) The only disappointing part of the evening was that we had tickets to a show and couldn't stay longer to explore more of their incredible wine selection. That's just another reason we'll definitely be back!

    OK, so ended up giving this place another chance. The manager Andrew reached out because of my…read morereview in the fact that it was an enjoyable experience and he wanted for us to have a good one this time. When we arrived, our table was ready right away this time and it was a great table. It wasn't packed this time. It was busy still, but overall the place and environment is great. Our waiter was amazing. He was very attentive knew what to recommend and was very nice and a fun person also. This time we started off with a golden beats and let me tell you they were delicious and the cheese that they use at the bottom is just phenomenal. This is definitely something you need to get. We also started off with the muscles and they were delicious. The broth that they were in was so good. You could literally drink it and you just wanted to submerge your bread in it. I also got an espresso martini to wake up because I've been so jetlagged and it was perfect. it was a good balance of the espresso and not sweet. I love that they don't use milk here unlike other places. My mother got the opera spritz and it was delicious. Very well balanced. It was not Avril heavy like some places tend to do. My mother got the Braised pork pasta, and it was divine. This was full of flavor a good amount of sauce not salty. We also got the chefs butcher pizza and it was amazing. I loved that you can tell they make all the ingredients there and the bread is just so good. Also had some kind of sauce on there with some piece of cheese that just balanced it so good. Definitely thanks to this experience. I will say I will keep going back. I'm thinking maybe when I first swim they were just having an off day but now trying the rest of these dishes. They did really good and definitely a place to enjoy when you're at the domain.

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.
