    Downtown Austin from the 21at Floor
    Christine A.

    I spent many years enjoying the Headliners on my father-in-law's dime. Our dinners were reserved for special occasions such as Christmas, Anniversaries and other family events. It is a beautiful club which always feels very Old School. As in, old old school. But that's okay if people want to take me there, I'm game. The view of the Texas State Capitol is unparalleled and the lights along Congress at night and especially at Christmas are beautiful seen from the 21st Floor. Originally, The Headliners was organized by Charles Green, the once Executive Editor of the Austin American Statesman, for those people who work directly with and are elected to the Texas Legislature. It's now more a private club but you will still see some of the movers and shakers dining here. The food, drinks and service are always perfect. Marilyn and Jayne pose nude on the wall of the Men's room but I can't say how I know this.

    The first rule of Headliners club is not to talk about Headliners club. OK, I'll dish. This place is a cut above the rest. The décor has been masterfully designed with wood paneling, luxurious cabinets and award winning books and mementos. It starts out with wait staff who truly practice an art long forgotten providing ninja like service. You're on the 24th floor of the Chase building so every view is a GREAT view. The furniture is plush and comfy and if I had enough time I would have fallen into a peaceful slumber. Food.....oh boy you're in for a treat and the weird thing is that you don't want this to end anytime soon because you'll be back in the real world soon enough. Membership has it's prividleges.

Since we ordered basically one of everything - here are our recommendations. Appetizers GET THIS: 1. Corn dog shrimp (think shrimp tempura) - light, flavorful, crunchy YUM 2. Cathead biscuits NOT THAT: 1. Street corn queso dip not a favorite for our table. The cheese tasted thick and plastic like... Velveeta vibes... not much flavor Meals GET THIS: 1. Hangar Steak 2. Creole shrimp & grits 3. Chicken fried steak Not that: 1. Horseradish crusted salmon - I didn't try it but the two people who ordered at our table were disappointed and wished they would've gotten one of the above Desserts GET THIS: 1. Bread pudding was delicious! Not overly sweet & the added white chocolate gives it that dazzle dazzle 2. Chocolate Espresso Brownie - perfection NOT THAT: 1. Banana cream pudding. This was a no for the table because it was over the top sweet (I think because of the added butterscotch) 2. Peanut Butter Mousse Pie super super thick & sweet. Didn't taste much other than PB - it was like eating a giant spoonful of it and trying to swallow.

Friendly staff overall. The food fell flat for almost all of us. The salads were fresh and good. However, the ribs were below average. Cornbread was stale and not tasty. Biscuits tasted more like firm bread and not at all flaky/soft. That seemed weird to all of us. Chicken fried steak was soggy and not crispy. Drinks were ok. Not quite sure why the food was subpar, but there were 10 of us who all agreed we wouldn't return for food. There is a swanky little cozy speakeasy in the basement that may be good? We didn't try that.

    Fabulous! My friend…read moreTiffany told me about Anthem on Rainy Street. Neither of us had been, and also it's been years since we've been on Rainy Street. So we thought we would make a whole night of it. Tiffany did make reservations for us for 7pm and even though this is a bar hopping neighborhood, even at 7pm it was pretty busy. Streets were full of people. Anthem had a vibe. I felt the energy as soon as I waked in. The cozy booths with the U shaped seating with plush green velvet fabric. Wait staff wore Hawaiian shirts. Sitting up behind me on a ledge was the Easter Island statue. Insert (Night At The Museum) here, dumb dumb give me gum gum. Anthem was our first stop tonight. Just drinks and a dinner. I ordered the Peach Fuzzy drink. Not too sweet, refreshing, peachy, and beautiful garnish of a flower. I ordered the Yummy Fries which looked like a salad. Gorgeous presentation. Fries were actually waffle sweet potatoes. Pickled ginger, sesame seeds, furikake, aïoli and a few other wonderful ingredients. Could not get over how beautiful everything looked. Presentation outstanding. Service delightful. Had a wonderful time at Anthem. We both did use the ladies rooms before leaving. Inside the bathroom there is a sign about safety and if you need assistants. I did take a picture of it. On our way out, Brian the manager, said good night to us and waved. We later saw Brian at another place. And I'll write about that in my review for that place as well. Brian, you're Doll, thank you for your hospitality.

I had hoped we would get an outdoor table to appreciate the view but all tables were booked when I made the reservation and were still booked when we got there a bit early. It was also overcast that day. Even though we were a bit early, they were able to seat us quickly. We ended up just having drinks and one side item (yummy squash dish). We made the decision to leave before a full meal because the menu wasn't as vegetarian and gluten free friendly as we'd thought it might be. Danny was our waiter and he was very understanding! He gave us several great drink recommendations. We all very much enjoyed our cocktails and mocktail with a side appetizer of squash. We appreciated the discount on valet parking if you eat at Nido and get your ticket validated. I'm sure I'll be back here on a sunny day and book far enough in advance to sit outside.

The cocktails were delicious, although definitely on the pricey side. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting. The portions were extremely small, and the prices felt very steep for both the quality and the amount served. While the presentation was nice, the taste simply didn't justify the cost. On top of that, having to pay $15 for valet added even more to an already expensive evening. Overall, Nido is worth visiting once for the views and a cocktail, but I personally wouldn't return for dinner. There are plenty of other spots in Austin that offer much better value for the price.

The beef tartare was the first to be cleaned. Our favorite starter. 2. Apple cashew salad was a refreshing take on a pad thai. 3. Tempura mushrooms were incredibly memorable in umami, sweetness, acidity, and perfect fry. Highly recommend for a comforting shareable. 4. Lobster spaghettini was a justified lobster pasta take - something you can't always say when you take chances on lobster pasta. They use the carcass of the lobster on the generous, silky beurre blanc which was worth a soup spoon. 5. Half chicken and parisian gnocci was a great alternative for a typical body builder meal. Perfectly tender and the fried gnocchi was delicious. Bonus: - Shoutout to Chris, our server, who made us feel welcomed like friend. We learned so much about the location's genesis and architecture which made it that much more interesting. - A true NY-inspired must-experience gem. Please see the structure of the patio and the ship-sourced sun room private space they have. Nice to know: - Complimentary valet - The Cedar Tavern is adjacent and next on our list for happy hour! However, I'd be surprised if we don't come back to dine at Eberly first. - Don't sleep on the caviar and dessert!

The restaurant is beautiful in this old cigar club kind of way I ordered the crudo which came out so quickly. It was delicious with such a good amount of acid. I had the halibut. I did not like that it came out while I was eating the crudo and would have preferred a gap. This fish was delicious. Absolutely loved the pickled chillis with it. I had the pistachio creme brulee this was delicious. I was being greedy and being from Australia I had to have the sticky toffee pudding. This sadly was disappointing. It was too salty and hard to enjoy. Wish I ended on the brulee. I would definitely come back as the service and savory items were great
