I like coming here for lunch, it is nice location and we sat outside this last time it was very pretty. All of the food looks great when it comes out and it is a bit pricey but you get large portions so I feel like it is worth it. I enjoy their seasonal rotational menu and both salads I have gotten have been yummy so I would return. read more

Great service! The restaurant is very open and bright. The food is good, but a little overpriced IMO when you add a protein option separately $. Highly recommend the panko crusted goat cheese balls with honey! read more

Best salad place in austin ever. I recommend the La Pepita, add tomato. YUM. Also the kale fritters are delicious. I eat here once a week

I love visiting Austin. Such great places to eat. We arrived around 5 pm loved that there was plenty of parking which can be difficult in Austin on the weekend. We entered and asked if we sat ourselves the bartender Shelly who seemed irritated by our question seated us with no greeting. Our waiter Mike was way more friendly, we asked about our choices and he said it was two of his favorites. The first beer choice was out so we selected another and a glass of wine for about 9. Dollars a glass. I opted for the turkey sandwich with a side Cesar. It wasn't big but it was delicious. My friend ordered the Kale salad which was huge and good to eat. Two to eat with drinks was about 50 dollars but I thought the meal was enjoyable. read more

Vinaigrette - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

Brunch review! Came here on Saturday with a group right when it opened. The outdoor seating is the best because it is shaded by this giant oak tree. Makes it a lot more bearable in that TX heat. They have a ton of healthy juices and drinks on the menu, that you can make alcoholic, which makes you feel a little less guilty about that Saturday brunch drink. You gotta start with the kale fritters and the mini biscuits for the table. The jam that comes with the biscuits is amazing. For our entrees we all got a mix of salads and sandwiches. I loved the Asian salad, added chicken for some extra protein. Only downside was the slow service, we had to go in to try and get our check and pay. Could have just been short staffed. read more

Absolutely delicious Thai salad. Added perfectly cooked shrimp. Balanced flavors and nice crunch. Gorgeous outdoor area under a HUGE old oak. BUT, who wants to pay $30 for a salad and a drink???? read more

It had been years since I've eaten here, however met friends here for lunch. Once again I had their La Pepita salad. It never disappoints! Everyone tried different salads and they were all good! We Sat outside as it can be loud Inside. read more

Excellent food !! Whether it's Albuquerque or Austin, locations this menu delivers !!

Great atmosphere...and the Mushroom Stew and Duck Tacos were delicious!! Definitely, worth a try!

Very good for those of us who enjoy good food but also don't want to eat a bit more on the healthy side. I had the duck confit salad which was filling and delicious. and washed it down with afresh margarita (the salt they used for the rim was absurdly good). Also, I chose to eat outside in the back patio because the Austin fall weather was beautiful. This was proved a mistake since shortly into meal a homeless guy with a pink guitar stopped through the back exit to talk trash about all the patrons and throw shade since we should dare to eat at a restaurant while people outside were hungry(?). So they get docked a star for that. Otherwise it was lit! Go here. read more

Vinaigrette - The Duck Confit - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is a great place to bring your kids. The outdoor seating is very spacious. My 2 and 4 year old devoured a grilled cheese that came with a few apple slices and veggies (celery and carrots). I got the kale cesar with salmon. The salmon was perfectly cooked. It had a crisp outside and was soft interior, well seasoned. The Ruben and omega are still solid. This is a great neighborhood gem. Healthy and tasty!! read more

Wanted a fresh salad after hiking the Greenbelt. Ordered the Mac n cheese (splurge) and the special, a Nicoise with seared tuna to share. Mac wasn't impressive. It was creamy but fairly ordinary for $7. The salad arrived with dressing although we'd asked for it on the side. She took it back and brought a 2nd. My date had to flag down the bus girl for a fork since the waitress took his with his Mac cheese plate. The $15 salad wasn't anything outstanding either. There was a tiny bit of asparagus, tomatoes and potatoes and a lot of anchovies, capers, and olives. There wasn't any boiled egg as the menu claimed. The tuna steak was small but well done. I guess the kicker was the bill where we were charged for two salads. We flagged down the waitress and she mumbled something about since we shared it they thought there were two...um no. Nothing outstanding. read more

Really nice salads! Great healthy options, good unique drinks. It was fun! Outdoor area was cute (just way too hot to sit outside).

My family and I decided to spend the day in Austin. We check out Vinaigrette which looked really cool in pictures. However, I am truly dissolved with the service we received here. We were a table of 5, the restaurant was empty expect another couple. Yet it took the host several to figure were to sit us!!! The whole restaurant is empty!!! Then our server came by, and handed us menus. He didn't introduce himself or even gave recommendations. We order our food & I order the Ginger Turmeric Tonic . My family pointed the fact that my drink had been sitting on the bar top for several minutes. Our server (Dante) was no where to be found.... I asked the host if she could hand the drink, that was literally right next to her. She asked our server... but I think she realized it's just easier to grab the drink next to her and give to me. I was about to just grab the drink myself. Upon arrival we never received the complimentary bread, so we asked another server if we could have some. I think he was mad that we asked him... he brought out the basket and one plate!!!! One plate for 5 people I don't understand the logic but okay. We finally got our food. However, my sister's salad didn't have tomatoes after she specifically told the server that she wanted tomatoes & avocado 3 times. That was another hassle. We ran all out of water, and by this time it felt we bothering the whole staff. We ask another server if bring the water pitcher and we can do it. The food was delicious but the terrible customer service didn't make it worth it at all. Out of all the restaurants in Austin we decided this one, and received one of the worst customer experience I have ever had. The server didn't even ask us what brought us in(special occasion), his name, nothing. I think he spoke 5 whole words to us the entire time we were there. We will definitely take our business elsewhere, and people should too! There is so many delicious healthy restaurants with way better customer service in Austin. Don't waste your time here. read more

Sorry, I rarely write reviews, especially negative ones, but must share here. I've NEVER had such a despicable Ruben sandwich in my life! And the cost only represents just how off this restaurant is. My guess is that the fans are those who believe what the restaurant tells them, rather than having their own tastes and discretion. I loved the kale nachos years earlier, but the cost of their food is absolutely ridiculous for what you receive. I paid $20 for a Rueben sandwich that had 80% gristle and a small (3 bite salad on the side). Maybe I'm spoiled with the Rueben from Neilsen's in Houston, and I usually am very forgiving with restaurants, believing their customer loyalty is worth the try. All the pricing only indicates the loyal youngsters who believe you have to pay a lot for quality food. They are highly misguided. read more

Big fan of Vinaigrette - typically get the La Pepita (on special during their HH, from 2:30-4pm weekdays), however recently had their hot turkey sandwich and was floored by it's deliciousness. Def. worth a try! Don't forget to ask for the complimentary focaccia bread! Ambience is incredible on a pretty night/day - the massive oak tree is so fun to sit under and enjoy a chill meal. Missing a star bc the service is pretty inconsistent/quirky, but to each their own I guess. read more

Vinaigrette - Nice "healthy-ish" happy hour specials... La Pepita and All Kale Caesar are incredible!!! - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

It was one of the closest restaurant to me and the Omega salad looked good. I check the reviews and saw that most there were some saying the pricing was a bit much but figured I'd pay for good food. Nice setting with outdoor and indoor seating options. I sat at the bar. I ordered my omega salad as in the picture but it didn't come out quite like the picture. It seems to have less avocado but at nearly $20 I'd expect more than 4 shrimps. I also ordered some passion fruit alcoholic beverage for about $10. It was very sour and had no taste of alcohol whatsoever. Overall the food was ok but the setting was dope. I also liked that there was parking. I went around lunch time so maybe dinner might be a different vibe.i don't think I'd go back personally. read more

Atmosphere was great, yet quite chilly inside we had to wear coats. The kale fritters were yummy. Salads were large portions, though my scallops had a super strong seafood smell so not the freshest. Service was insanely slow. Just an ok experience. read more

Loved this trendy and cute salad joint. Large indoor space with lots of color. Yummy salads - I had the peas and mushroom one. Also tried the mushroom stew - so good (even better than the salad). My friend's Asian salad was amazing too. Only bummer - they were out of duck and beets so we couldn't try those salads. Awesome, super unique cocktails. Friendly service! Highly recommended for a tasty and healthy meal. read more

Outdoor patio is great. Salads taste good. Downhill from there. Went twice service is atrocious. Both times. Didn't bring silverware, had to steal from next table, good luck flagging down a waiter/waitress for anything like to order another drink or a water refill... On my last visit, TWICE (and 25 minutes later) the waitress got my drink wrong. Did she offer correct her mistake or offer me one of the wrong drinks while the correct one was made? no? Did the manager notice anything? What manager? Add to that that the greens aren't organic, and voila a one star. read more

Just going to reiterate what's already been said - it's good, but you should be willing to shell out for it. I had an Omega salad ($11.50) with a side of grilled flank steak ($7.50). Add an iced tea and a tip and I paid $27 for lunch. Yeesh. Decor was beautiful. We sat outside at lunch and there was plenty of shade to make it bearable. Quick and good service. Plenty of parking. read more

Vinaigrette - Omega with flank steak - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

Over the past 5 years this place has drastically gone down hill. As is true for most Austin restaurants, they start out with a lot of hipster hype and slowly dwindle on quality, cleanliness and service. The servers in torn up cut off jeans and oversized worn out tee shirts is getting really old. Looking filthy and unkept is not what I'm looking for in someone serving food I'm to eat. As for the food, when an item needs to be sent back twice, that's a kitchen staff issue. Quality is really important for the viability of a business. read more

Honestly this is my favorite restaurant in Austin because I absolutely love the fresh, delicious food and sitting outside under the ginormous live oak tree. The service is also excellent and friendly. I usually order the Kale Caesar and a protein from the selections offered: salmon, chicken, etc. it has anchovies in the dressing which I love. I've also had the roasted vegetable sandwich which is excellent. They do have an indoor dining room and a nice bar if sitting outside isn't your thing. But the tree! And the food. It's a hidden gem. read more

This star rating is only based on their food and decor. The roasted tomato soup is great! So incredibly smooth and savory and there isn't any cream - I like that! I got a balanced mushroom and spinach salad with ginger miso vinaigrette which was pretty tasty. My only complaint was that it didn't have enough variety - I felt like I was just a whole bunch of spinach and mushroom and it got really boring. I love salad bars bc I can pack it with tons of other fun ingredients like peppers and other veggies that give it variety. But I could just be particular. The boy got the tuna salad salad and he liked his a lot. It was a bit too tart for my liking, but generally enjoyed the few bites that we traded (for that variety component). Service was god awful. Barely anybody in the restaurant and we couldn't get water for like 10 minutes, our order for another 10-15 minutes and even at the end with the check, we wanted to get away quickly, but it took forever for our two servers to even bring or pick up our check. We were trying to make it to do other things before a wedding, so coming here was a bit of a waste of time. We thought salad was fast, but the service made this so long. It wouldn't have been so disappointing if we hadn't seen five servers or employees just milling around the bar area at almost all times or if the place was over crowded, but nope, maybe five or six small groups (for a place that has over 30 tables) and so many servers. read more

Food was ok, I expected more flavor. My salad (spinach mushroom $10.25 w/out shrimp) was spinach, sautéed mushrooms, bacon and egg. I would keep the egg out, as it the salad started to cool down the egg just left this weird taste to it. Oh ya the yam string were sooooo greasy they were not enjoyable. My friends salad (The Omega $11.50 w/out shrimp) looked pretty, but it was more relish like. We both added shrimp for $7.00 and it was overcooked. But his drink was yummy (frozen Vinny palmer) The server dropped an olive oil bottle head first on the floor and still served it to the guest. I would have thought she would have got a new spout. **it's VERY loud inside so be prepared, staff looks so unhappy to be here, our server was a little unattentive poured my water and not my friends** read more

I've been coming to Vinaigrette for 2 years now and on my most recent take out order of $130 I noticed a $9 container fee! Stop acting cheap! read more

My favorite part was the big windows and the natural lighting inside. I ordered the La Pepita salad and found it to be a bit too heavy. Too much chicken. My mom ordered the special which was arugula with peaches and fresh cheese topped with prosciutto - I liked that a lot more. It was a cute spot. I will definitely come back when it suits the purpose for a cute and light lunch spot but I wasn't blown away. read more

Vinaigrette - So fun! A much needed GIRLS' NIGHT -- LOL - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

This will be the best salad you ever eat!! I was skeptical when I was invited here, but once I started munching on that salad: game over! The atmosphere is casual and light and the staff is all super nice. The juices and drinks are fresh and the cocktails are well made. I ordered the All Kale Caeser salad with chicken and was not disappointed one bit. read more

Love this spot hidden just off of South Congress! It's got a local neighborhood vibe, but the food is elevated. Best salads in Austin in my humble opinion, and I am partial to the Omega salad. Flavors are well balanced and there is just enough dressing. Sandwiches are great too! Cocktails and mocktails are creative and fresh. Highly recommend this spot for a casual lunch/dinner, especially the outdoor seating under their giant oak tree. One of the best restaurant patios in ATX. read more

Fantastic lunch spot. It's just south of South Congress so you avoid the chaos but it's close enough so you still feel involved. The salads are obviously great. I got the Tuna Salad Salad which was perfectly dressed and comes with meaty chunks of tuna and artichoke hearts. They also have a big bar with some unique drinks, I ordered this refreshing yet earthy golden beet and grapefruit concoction. Bonuses are the gorgeous building with a comically confusing door and plentiful parking. read more

Terrific place if you're in the mood for a salad, but they also have sides, soups and sandwiches as well. The salacho taco salad is probably my favorite of all the dishes, but everything on the menu is very good. You will not be disappointed. read more

Pepita salad is delicious!! Love Love Love this place. Yay for vinaigrette they have saved my life here in Austin! Coming from California before I moved to Austin I am always craving healthy salads. There are so few choices some times in Texas. Texans like to put mayonnaise on all their vegetables and eat lots of barbecue. Vinaigrette offers lots of healthy choices, green choices and excellent protein choices such as salmon, tuna, shrimp and grilled chicken to compliment salads and sandwiches. I've eaten here five times already and every time it's amazing!!!! read more

Delicious - tried the kale fritters (must get), cherry chicken salad, and roasted veggie sandwich. All were fantastic and the service was good. Salads are a little pricey but it was a big portion. Plus I looked at the menu before so knew what to expect! Will definitely come back to try other menu items. read more

Yes, yes, and yes to my favorite salad place!!!! This restaurant is amazzing! Love their gigantic sized salads, delicious sandwiches and refreshing drinks. When they first opened up, their servers was not pleasant to deal with but over time, they got so much better! I can't list my favorite salads because I love all of them! Seriously, just try any of their salads and you'll know what I mean. You won't be disappointed! read more

Interesting review by Ellen Y on the Ruben sandwich. I ate a Ruben that same day and found it to be best Ruben I've ever had. I am a foodie through and through and seek out local favorite restaurants wherever I travel and here at hame. Wonder what agenda she really has by insulting the locals as well a favorite restaurant. read more

I love the food and seating inside and out! It is very good and lots to chose from. My ONLY negative comment is that they need to do something about the flies inside the restaurant. Every time I have been regardless of the time of day or month, there are tons of flies. It does not seem to bother the staff. I eat out a lot in Austin and many places and I don't see this issue with indoor places. It's just odd. Anyway, if someone from Vinaigrette reads this I hope they put up some fly traps ;) Otherwise I still go there! read more

Food not good despite this place being highly recommended. Sad. My salad with seafood added literally stunk. My clothes stunk afterwards. Our kitchen still stinks this morning ever after we tried to wipe down everything. Cajun Gumbo? You've got to be kidding. It was more like Campbell's Chicken noodle soup without the noodles. Noting in that soup even comes close to the description. I seldom write this kind of review, but OMG what a disappointment. read more

Dropped in for lunch and to check out how things have changed from the old Treehouse. The space is very well lit with tons of natural lighting. Natural wood (pine?) floors, benches, and tables gives added brightness. Seating for couples and groups should be easy in this setting. Deco is very light with flowering cactuses and wheatgrass buckets providing accents. A small bar is located at the front of the restaurant and has a separate bar munchie menu too. Music was not too loud and we were treated to a medley of Michael Jackson. The back patio has some seating with the old tree left intact. It's a very nice space when the weather is good. So the food. Overall the the meal was good. Fresh ingredients and good dressing tossed with the salad. Sourced locally - which is a great plus! Drinks were good as well. The drawback overall is the hefty price point - if you add a protein and a drink your tab nears if not exceeds $20 a person. This places this restaurant in a once in awhile category to visit and eat and well out of the "drop in because I'm hungry and want a salad" list. I should also note that the owner was there during the launch week (I went twice), but it was disappointing that she did not make an effort to welcome the patrons and thank them for their business. It would have been a nice touch for a business out of New Mexico breaking into the Texas market. read more
