Celebrated my birthday here and it was amazing! The waitress was super friendly and attentive. The food was flavorful and came out in a timely manner. I'd say it's on a pricier end but it sure is fine dining. I'd come back again just for the bread and crab cake!

I take all of my out-of-town guests here, so of course I was gonna take my sister visiting from Dubai here and as always, this place made the highlight. The service, the food, the ambience everything is consistently off the charts and as always, they're always an upending some sort of surprises to our table, which we always appreciate. If you haven't been here yet for happy hour you are seriously missing out.

Ambiance 10/10!! Service 10/10! Everyone was so nice, exactly what you want from customer service. I had the lamb chops, Caesar salad, wagyu fried rice, cheesecake. Lamb chops and salad 10/10. I could have done without the fried rice. I do not believe they need to make their menu longer, however they do need a little bit more options. Also, their starting bread was soooooo oily and the drinks were regular. Because of the vibe, it is a good place to go for a celebration.

Lamb, Truffle fries, Baby broccolini, Salmon

The Guest House was such a great spot for a birthday dinner! Our server, Robbie, made the experience even better--he was incredibly kind, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was phenomenal. We ordered the lamb, salmon, baby broccolini, and truffle fries, and every single dish was a 10/10. I also had the theatrical mushroom cocktail for my birthday, and it was absolutely worth it. The aromatic fog smelled incredible, and the drink itself tasted like a refreshing cucumber-jalapeño cocktail. My only downside was how close the tables are together. It can feel like you're part of the conversation at the next table, and I'm sure they can hear yours too. Aside from that, the food, drinks, and service made for an amazing dining experience. I'd definitely come back!

Chicken Parmesan - sooo- good!!
Nadine L.

Second visit, & it was just as impressive as the first! The food was excellent as always & this time we went later in the evening to experience the nighttime ambiance. The atmosphere added a whole new dimension to the experience. A special shout-out to John--the ultimate wine connoisseur. His knowledge & passion for wine truly elevates the dining experience. Great food, great service, & a wonderful setting; definitely a must-visit!

Guest House was an amazing experience from start to finish! The vibe and atmosphere were incredible - warm, welcoming, and full of charm that made our date night an eventful experience. The Alice in Wonderland themed drinks were creative and beautifully presented, adding such a fun and whimsical touch. We started off with the crab cake, caviar salmon cones and spicy rigatoni which were all phenomenal beginners. We also had Cesar salads for the table and I opted for The Wagu rib eye and my husband with the short rib which were all perfectly cooked and full of flavor, also the bread was some of the best I've ever had. Great service, great energy, and a place I'll definitely be coming back to!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! As soon as you walk in the restaurant is breathtaking, great spot for a date night. There's also an inhouse DJ that I thought was really cool. The drinks were fun and delicious! The croissant bread was incredible. All the appetizers were great also, same with the desserts, really couldn't go wrong with what you pick. The only reason I took a star off was due to the entrees. I wasn't impressed with my risotto, my friend ordered a chicken parm and she also wasn't impressed, everyone else had steak and the consensus was it's okay.

Short rib entree

Their service is incredible. I was driving in from San Antonio and knew I was going to be late for my reservation so I texted the restaurant asking for options or later reservations and they were incredibly accommodating. Pushed my reservation an hour and we had expected to sit outside which was not ideal and when I told them them moved us inside and the restaurant was to die for. Such an elevated cool experience. The meal begins with a brioche croissant loaf and as a GF person this is wore cheating for. Flakey, airy, buttery and beautiful. Every step of the meal was an elevated experience. It's expensive! so just expect that going into the meal and enjoy. It's so worth the price.

Chic and thoughtfully designed, the restaurant had an upscale feel without being snobby, with a relaxed ambiance and a DJ spinning some tunes! Our waitress was friendly and prompt! She was on top of our drinks and removing empty places out of the way. I really liked her. The food itself is the reason for the 4 stars. Our appetizer - shrimp cocktail; while beautifully presented was pretty bland. It could definitely use more seasoning. The bread was soft, warm, flaky and buttery! No complaints there! Main dish, I had lamb chops with potatoes. That was pretty good, but the meat could definitely use more seasoning. My friend was very happy with her salmon and the brussels were tasty. Drinks were good too! We were celebrating my friend's birthday and the dessert that was brought out was really good! I would definitely come back here on my next trip!

Complementary Bread

We came here for my friends Bachelorette. The service was outstanding and our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and attentive. They provided us with a free round of champagne which was very hospitable of them. The cocktails we ordered were phenomenal. You have to try their espresso martini- BEST I HAVE EVER HAD. The food was very good. They start you with a complimentary fluffy bread with butter. I felt the steak was a little under seasoned. The broccolini had a very nice and unexpected spice to it. The Cacio Pepe and Mac n Cheese were just okay. The Yukon potato puree was pure gold. The real star of the show was the Braised Short-Rib. It was cooked perfectly and melted in our mouths. Overall was a really great experience and helped make our bachelorette in Austin memorable. Thank you Guest House!

The oysters were nice and fresh, and the lamb chops are genuinely unforgettable! Cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The live music was great I enjoyed the laid back dark setting of the restaurant. And our server was kind and helpful!

Happy hour
Rachel T.

My favorite "new to me" happy hour. I have visited 3 times so far between June-August and am obsessed. You can make a reservation for happy hour, and I've also sat at the bar. The hostesses and servers are all great and accommodating. The happy hour menu has $9 cocktails, which is a steal! They make a great dirty martini and that is my go to. I also tried their mojito which was very refreshing. My favorite things to order are the $2 oysters, the tuna cones ($4-5 each), and the little gem caesar salad. The complimentary bread is super buttery and almost like a croissant loaf. Absolutely delicious and addicting! The beets are also great and the meat eaters at our table absolutely rave over the burger and fries, spicy rigatoni with pancetta (they will make it veg if you ask - just beware it is SPICY), and the chicken fingers. Not on happy hour, but don't skip the brown butter cake. WOW. It is the best. 5 star experience every time. The ambiance is classy and beautiful. Feels very high end. They do have a dress code, so be sure to dress up! Shoutout to our awesome server Chris for taking care of us recently.

All of my stars go to our waiter he absolutely made our evening. Our dinner was prepared exceeding us expectations and the service was the best we had had in Austin. The ambience of this restaurant is great and it's a wonderful fun experience if you've never been put it on your list you will not be disappointed. One of the best espresso martinis in the city.

Do the truffle French fries have actual truffles on them or are they "truffle infused" or "truffle flavor" oil? Same question for the mushroom pizza, the tartare and the filet (which all have truffle listed)?

Truffle oil only.

What a wonderful time I had here with the "Frankenstein's mad scientist cocktail lab event"…read moreThe decorations were wonderful, the vibe super welcoming. I had my tarot reading, different drinks from the lab, all dressed appropriately and just fun overall. I love what they did to help you have the great experience we did. So inventive! This is my second event at wanderlust and I feel it won't ge the last one. I'll be putting myself on the list for ant event here. Its great!

Very Disappointing Experience…read more I was really looking forward to The Golden Girls pop-up at Wanderlust Wine Company. Unfortunately, the experience was nothing like what I had seen from the pop-ups in other cities. The biggest disappointment was how little there actually was to the experience. The kitchen table wasn't even there. The girls famously gathered around that table eating cheesecake. Blanche's bedroom was completely outside in a completely different building, which made the whole setup feel disconnected. Even the wall phone, which was supposed to have the girls talking did not provide the experience I had seen from Instagram reels from other cities. Then came the cocktails. At $16 each, I expected them to at least be made correctly. My Blanche Devereaux cocktail was made with club soda instead of Sprite. Club soda tastes like Alka-Seltzer. I had to ask for a different drink. The second cocktail, The Dorothy, was made with Prosecco and unfortunately wasn't good either. Even the one lady sitting at this isolated bar with me said her drink was bad too. They double charged me. Which is another major issue. My ticket was $23.34 including taxes and fees and the complimentary drink was supposed to be included, with only a one-cent charge when I arrived. Instead, I was charged an additional $23.08, including $11.54 for the drink that was supposed to be included in the ticket price. Is there an explanation? Will this be corrected? My credit card company has already been notified. But what a hassle I have to go through. Just scan my QR code, and don't charge me .01 cent. I paid my ticket and "free" drink. Also as a solo guest, I was also extremely uncomfortable with where I was seated. I was placed away from everyone else at a very narrow bar along the wall, completely isolated from the rest of the group. Honestly, it felt like being sent to the kids' table at Thanksgiving--off in another room away from the adults. It was humiliating and made an already disappointing experience even worse. The entire experience amounted to roughly 15 minutes of taking a few pictures, drinking a poorly made cocktail, and leaving. For what I paid and what was advertised, I expected something much more immersive and fun. I couldn't wait to leave. Thank God I didn't pay for parking. I'm extremely disappointed. I went in excited to celebrate one of my favorite shows and left feeling like I had wasted my time and money. Based on this experience, I would not return to Wanderlust Wine Company.

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.

My hubs chose Rosé Gosé for my Mother's Day brunch location. In full transparency, choosing a…read morerestaurant is not his jam. However, today major shout out to the hubs. 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.
