What a hidden, yet bright, gem near the ascension seton hospital! We loved all the natural lighting. We came on a Tuesday evening without reservations and there was only open bar (or outdoor) seating available. Our waiter/bartender, Chris, was helpful in navigating through the menu and providing the perfect recommendations. Every ingredient tasted fresh and appeared carefully crafted. Portion sizes were generous. Not featured: delicious heated chocolate chip cookie for dessert. They do offer a military discount! read more

lunch spots in town! It is such a charming, cute place. The patio seating is amazing. There is ample free parking and you can also make reservations. The service is always impeccable and the food is positively divine. I had the seasonal salad with chicken the last time I was here and it was delectible! I do think they have one of the best burgers in town and they have a nice wine list, too. One item where they could improve is that they gave me dining friend caffeinated coffee when she ordered decaf. She was up all night. Not cool and that is why I am only giving 4 stars. read more

Pro- Cute restaurant, great for pictures. Turkey avocado sandwiches was good. Great server, she was very nice! Neg- wood fired artichoke looked and taste like it was a jar artichoke that was heated up and drizzled with pesto and oil. Not good. I wish it was just fresh grilled artichoke. Cesar salad was okay. (No picture cause it didn't look good for me to take a picture) My friend got the smash avocado toast- she said it was good. read more

We went here with friends Thursday night for dinner. It was a first for me and my husband, and our friends recommended we start with the gathering board. This thing was fully loaded! There was a tasty mix of cheeses, meats, and dips. It also had the most incredible candied hazelnuts. A great start. For entrees, our table ordered the catch of the day special which was halibut, watercolor (seafood dish), black and blue (steak), and espresso-rubbed ribeye. Below is a brief summary of everyone's entree: -Halibut- cooked well, a little under-seasoned -Black & blue- ordered medium rare, cooked a little under. Mushroom risotto was very good. Watercolor- shrimp cooked perfectly, didn't need the crab. Coconut rice was good. Ribeye- ordered medium, cooked a little under I'd return here to try other things on the menu or just to get the gathering board again. The outside area was really cute and would also be a great spot for happy hour drinks and a few light apps. The decor was simple and farmhouse style and I appreciated that the music wasn't too loud. One note though is the tables are a little close together so expect an intimate feeling experience. read more

This was our first time dining at Tiny Boxwoods. We had a 9am reservation for brunch on a Saturday, which I recommend as the restaurant does fill up. Parking is available for the restaurant and the adjacent shopping which was nice (not as bad as downtown Austin). The food was lovely - we got the pastry board to share for 4 people as an appetizer which was great. Since all of the food is prepared fresh it can take awhile for food to arrive - I recommend choosing an appetizer. The service was exceptional. Serge our waiter was very attentive throughout the meal, even replacing a glass of water that we got sauce on the side of without us having to ask. He made thoughtful recommendations on menu items and was super friendly. For me service can make or break an experience and Serge really nailed it. We will definitely be coming back! Bonus - sometimes they have a little farmer's market in the neighboring parking lot, which they did when we were there Saturday 3/30. read more

I love the ambiance of the restaurant. The menu is very limited and there aren't any real Vegetarian/Vegan options. However, the customer service was atrocious. When we arrived at the bar to get a cocktail. The bartender was looking right at us & never acknowledged us until I asked for a menu. Then we had a waitress- Jane P. She rushed us from the time we were seated in her section. Very pushy & unfriendly. She demanded that we pay before we finished eating our meal.

Tiny Boxwoods is my favorite dinner restaurant in Austin! It is absolutely stunning; it's like a little piece of the Hamptons in Austin. They have the best vibe year-round. A fireplace and blankets in the winter and a beautiful outdoor patio for the summer. The food is unmatched. My favorite entre is their shrimp risotto. It's creamy, rich, and the shrimp tastes so fresh. At the end of your meal, you have to finish the night off with the chocolate chip cookies. Nonnegotiable. read more

This is our favorite restaurant in Austin! The farm to table model is awesome. Their steak and fish dishes are always excellent. I recommend asking for a side of the jalapeño jam which is a great addition. We think their crab cake and summer burrata are the best apps we've ever had. Burger with sweet potato fries - also amazing. The cookie skillet with ice cream for dessert is divine. Do not come here expecting for a fast meal or efficient service though. Their service is usually slow, but the waiters are all very nice and do the best they can. We prefer the ambiance on the patio when the weather gets cooler rather than sitting indoors where it feels crowded and loud. read more

Cool vibe , kinda reminded me of Magnolia in Waco with all the similar looking white buildings and food, dessert and home decor shops in the area. The restaurant had a great biscuit platter with a very yummy butter spread to go with it. The breakfast sammie was awesome, good variety of things inside it. OJ was fresh-squeezed. Unlimited coffee refills. The avo toast looked a little $$ on the menu at $20+ but one of the tables next to us got it and it looked pretty good, not sure if it's worth that much but I'm sure it tastes decent. Cool place to check out for a bite and a dessert or ice cream nearby! read more

Walking into the restaurant, you notice the beautiful interior which is filled with natural lighting.

My friends ordered the pasta, burgers, and sandwiches and they let me try their food - everything was good! Go here for the cookies! They have a small section (Tinys Milk & Cookies) that sells baked goodies - don't miss out on buying their chocolate chip cookies.

Didn't taste much other than PB - it was like eating a giant spoonful of it and trying to swallow.

The staff were all so professional and apologetic about running late but it was not a problem for us and they actually shared a friend of the kitchen was there before us. I respect they provide that level of hospitality to guests. We were candidly lavished upon with champaign when we sat at the kitchen table. Our server was Christina who has worked there since BS opened. She made our evening very special. And we were kind of blown away when Kevin Cannon, Chef de Cuisine brought us a beautiful dish to celebrate the evening. I'm attaching all the pictures. In my opinion this place is a bargain. This was a fabulous culinary experience and I highly suggest sitting at the kitchen view table to get the full experience of the art and hard work Chef and his team are producing from a place of love for what they do.

The tasting menu is consistently creative, thoughtful, and genuinely fun, making each visit feel like a fresh experience rather than a repeat. There are two upgrades I will never skip: the caviar dish and the uni on top of the shiitake dumplings. They are absolutely to die for and hands-down worth it every single time. The drinks are always on point, creative, delicious, eclectic, and playful, perfectly complementing the menu. Service has been phenomenal on every visit, polished yet warm, which elevates the entire experience. This is an absolute favorite of ours for a kid free date night and one we continue to come back to without hesitation.

We asked if it would be okay to order food from the bar in the lobby, and they were more than accommodating -- which honestly says a lot about their service. The bartender was incredibly nice, attentive, and made us feel completely taken care of the whole time. And the food? 10/10. Every single bite was on point. Corinne continues to be one of those places you can count on for great food, great service, and a relaxed but elevated vibe. Perfect for celebrations or even a casual night out. We'll always come back.

He offered recommendations on appetizers and entrees, making it easier for us to place our order. At his suggestion, we got the spicy tuna bruschetta - which was a winner! It was like a spicy tuna roll and grilled bread had a baby and kicked rice to the curb lol. We also ordered the burrata cheese, which came topped with almonds and a side of apricots. This wasn't as big of a hit with the family. Husband got the wagyu ribeye, which was cooked perfectly at medium. It came with roasted potatoes and peppers. He quite enjoyed the steak. My Texas redfish was delicious and perfectly portioned. The flavors balanced well, especially with the creamy spongy and mushrooms underneath. The teen got the truffled bucatini. She said it was okay. Reminds you of truffle parm fries but with bucatini noodles lol. The 9 y/o got a kids macaroni & cheese, which I found to be kinda dry ab lackluster. I got an espresso martini and asked for it to be made slightly sweeter. It was spot on! Not bad at all for a restaurant attached to a hotel (the Marriott in downtown Austin).

I ended up parking on the street. I had brunch at Dish Society and you can either order from a QR code on your table or order at the counter. I downloaded their app and initially was sent an offer for a free beverage. I ordered the Spiced Apple Cider and it hit the spot and was so warm and flavorful the perfect comfort beverage. For my breakfast entree I ordered the Shrimp and Grits, gulf shrimp, smoked gouda grits, tabasco shallot butter sauce, bacon crumbles, sunny side vital farms egg. I got the Tabasco sauce on the side and the grits had a great flavor and texture for a very savory and flavorful dish. I also came during the social hour and took advantage of $7 cocktails and ordered the spicy strawberry margarita with socorro tequila, paula's orange, jalapeño, strawberry, tajin. I used my free bday entree coupon from the app to order the Citrus glazed salmon to go. It had pan seared citrus glazed salmon with organic quinoa, tomato, red onion, avocado, citrus segments, & mint. I also added the quinoa stuffed avocado halves topped with organic citrus quinoa, tomato and onion, citrus segments, mint, & organic greens with white balsamic vinaigrette. The to-go food was packed securely and was still fresh to consume when I arrived at home. Service was attentive and friendly, the ambiance was inviting, and the menu has a great balance of indulgent dishes and lighter, health-conscious options. I already got a $5 off coupon through the app and am planning a return visit to try other appealing items from the menu.

The food is good overall--fresh, well-prepared, and reliable--but it doesn't quite reach the level of being incredible. That said, the salads stand out for their good portion size, making them a satisfying and healthier option if that's what you're after. Crispy Cauliflower was a bit of a miss for me - fried but sitting in some overly sweet sauce. A few bites were more than enough to satiate the curiosity. All in all, it's a dependable choice when you want something quick, clean, and decent without too much fuss.

I realized that the place has some of the healthiest and best tasting food in Downtown. Sure, you're paying the Downtown premium, but sometimes you just gotta.

Chicken lettuce wraps were not good. I would not recommend. Beet salad was very tasty and enough for more than one person- good to share. Steak frites were very good.

She was totally on top of us I had the lobster pasta and friend had the ahi tacos. They did not skimp on portions. The tacos were so full of tuna it has hard to keep it all inside the shell! So very tasty and extremely fresh ahi for sure. The lobster pasta went beyond my expectations! The pasta was definitely homemade and cooked to the perfect texture. The sauce was not over powering yet very tasty for sure. And the lobster meat. Not sprinkled in like other places. Absolutely not! There was a hefty amount of lobster for sure! They did not hold back. This would be good for a girls night out or a very nice dinner date place. The location in downtown is very central to everything you can think of and public parking is near by.
