Mushroom Stew
Pree R.

This was my first time visiting Vinaigrette in Austin, and I went on a weeknight with my sister. I didn't realize just how many salads they offer, but I really appreciated that tofu is available as a protein option. What especially caught my attention--perfect for a cool winter evening in Texas--was their mushroom stew with a vegan miso base. We ordered cups of the vegan mushroom stew to start, along with one of the seasonal specials, the yam string fries, and a shared plate of grilled tofu. The mushroom stew was very umami-forward, filled with miso broth and a variety of mushrooms. While it was comforting, it felt like it needed a bit more seasoning--either spice or salt--to really elevate it. I was also expecting something thicker or creamier since it was labeled a "stew," but the base was quite runny and brothy with steamed mushrooms. The grilled tofu was decent, with a nice color on the outside, though it was soft and could have used more flavor. The yam string fries were almost comically thin--extremely shoestring. Dipping them into sauce was a challenge because they were so tiny, but it was still fun to eat them while chatting. What really stood out was the atmosphere. The dining area is comfy and cozy, and the colorful wall décor adds a lot of character. It's a welcoming, relaxed space right on Congress. Overall, Vinaigrette is a cozy Austin spot with casual yet slightly upscale vibes, offering healthy salad, soup, and sandwich options. If that's what you're looking for, it's definitely worth a visit.

One of the fewer nicer places in the Austin area for some fancier salad. Vibe was great! Very pricey for what it is though for sure. I got the tuna salad salad but beware of how significant the capper taste is with the dressing this particular salad had. Veggies tasted fresh!

Special menu for April and May!

HEALTHY, SERENE, BUSY! This is the quickest way to describe Vinaigrettes! Usually when you walk in there's no hostess but it's not self seating either so you'll have to wait for someone to seat you. The outside area is stunning with the oak trees as a backdrop. It's nice and shady during hot days like today! I ordered my fav, The Omega which I usually get with the tuna steak but today I ordered the lime shrimp and it was fantastic, -filling and perfect for spring! I love this place! So many healthy food options and great drink refreshers to choose from. It's pricey but worth it every once in a while.

Parking

This place is beautiful. Spacious indoors and outdoors. The giant oak tree is breathtaking and provides shade. Gorgeous green tile and lots of natural light inside. Ample parking. At first I wasn't sure if I was at the right place because there's no big sign for the restaurant. Service was friendly. I went on a Saturday evening and was surprised how dead it was.. a few tables of people outside and maybe two parties inside which I thought could be a red flag but everything was delicious! I'm guessing this place gets busy for brunch. Good variety on the menu with many healthy choices. Nice cocktail menu. The appetizers were smaller portions so if you have a table of four or more, order a few so you can share. Mushroom stew 10/10 Duck tacos 10/10 Kale Fritters 10/10 (and I'm not a huge kale fan) Salads are large and could easily be shared. Adding protein on some of the salads is an extra charge but it at least gives you options. Only downsides were the menus were dirty... overdue for a wipe down. And water glasses were jars which I don't prefer to drink out of without a straw (straws were not provided)

La Pepita
Elizabeth H.

I was a fan! Very fresh and light lunch spot while exploring Austin. I was a fan of the look- both inside and outside had great seating and ambiance (not too loud). The service was friendly and personal, and our waitress told us some of the favorites. By far the favorites from our day were the Kale salad and Reuben sandwich

Tree on the patio
Jon V.

Atmosphere on the patio is incredible. Sitting outside is legit. The oak tree is ginormous. So many salad options. A bit odd they don't have dairy free milk options or gluten free bread. I still give it 5 stars. Servers were very nice.

Rebecca C.

This is a magnificent place for a beautiful, hearty salad. So many options too! Our salads were amazing. They also have a brunch menu. They have many wellness-inspired drinks as well. Prices seemed a little high, but the quality of the food was great. Indoor and outdoor space. Service is slower paced.

La Pepita
Mariel T.

I was in in need of some greens before all of the thanksgiving celebrations this week, so I took a friend to Vinaigrette! There were several salad options to choose from, ranging from sweet to savory. We got: -La Pepita: my fav of the two -Greek with shrimp: your typical (not American) Greek salad with no leafy greens Food was a little pricy for what it was BUT the food was definitely fresh!

Tuna Salad Salad with Seared Ahi Tuna
Stephanie M.

What a beautiful, airy and bright space! Loved the fresh and organic feel when you walk in. I noticed they even had a bin of books about plants near some chairs at the entrance to lounge. Came in for lunch and it was perfect to have a healthy and not super heavy meal. We all loved our meals. We shared one of the specials of the day which was the Mexican Meatballs. Had a chorizo flavor to it and we all agreed it would taste amazing in some queso! For my meal I had the Tuna Salad Salad. It comes with albacore, but you can add the Seared Tuna Steak for a total of $26.50. The portions are large. I couldn't finish it all. I really enjoyed the different flavors. The artichoke gave it an occasional bite of caper like tang flavor that I loved. Our waitress was beyond attentive and making sure our drinks were always filled. I can't wait to explore more of their menu and patio on a cooler day!

I was a little bummed out by our experience at Vinaigrette. A few of my coworkers frequent this spot for business lunches but I'd never been. We stopped in on Saturday afternoon, had no issues parking (which was a shock) and decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was nice, but she forgot the beet drink I ordered. My S/O had to remind her as he was ordering his second drink. I also wasn't blow away by the salads. I got the Omega with shrimp and didn't understand paying $9 for 4 shrimps that tasted so fishy (and not in a good way). I asked for no red onion in it and it came with red onion, which only added to my disappointment after not getting my drink. I didn't say anything because I was starving. We always kinda know when a place is going to be one we frequent regularly or if it's just a one and done and unfortunately, this was the latter for me.

'Healthiest Jalapeño poppers
Sam P.

We were in the mood for something healthy and this place was nearby so we decided to give it a try! Beautiful space, bright and airy with a fun crowd of all ages! Service was fast and friendly. Went with a couple of specials from their menu - a fabulous carrot and micro green salad that was so good, I want to try and replicate at home and loved the peppery olive oil dressing ! On the side we got the healthy- ish jalapeno poppers which were phenomenal,best I have had and they are better for you than the traditional version! Will definitely return as the weather warms to enjoy that outdoor patio!

Asian chopped salad with flank steak
Greg B.

Although the salads are superb (the Asian Cop Salad with flank steak $25), the service was terrible. It took us ten minutes to flag down a passing waitress to take our order. We only saw her twice afterwards: when lunch was delivered and when she brought the check (again after flagging her down). The dining room is airy and comfortable and looks out on a magnificent oak tree in the patio. Getting good service shouldn't be such a challenge.

Amazing Food, Incredible Drinks & Fantastic Service!…read more What an absolutely fabulous experience at Moonshine Grill in Austin! From the food to the drinks to the service, everything was fantastic! Jessica took great care of us and made our visit even more enjoyable. The ambiance was also really nice, with cute rocking chairs out front and lots of mirrors all over the walls. We had the grilled cheese sandwich with burnt ends, and WOW! The combination of the amazing onions and gooey, delicious cheese was out of this world! We also ordered the sweet potatoes, and I cannot say enough about how good they were! Perfectly sweet and absolutely delicious. Seriously, SO SO good! And the drinks? The lavender lemonade was AMAZING! Refreshing, delicious, and the perfect complement to an already fabulous meal! Between the incredible food, fantastic drinks, and Jessica's wonderful service, this place was a winner all around! If you're in Austin, Moonshine Grill is definitely worth a stop! We loved every bite and sip!

We somehow snagged nearby street parking and a table for two with no wait despite it being a busy Saturday evening after a UT football game. Make a reservation if you have a large party or are on a tighter schedule. It's a bit loud for those seated in the lobby/entrance area, but totes a vibe. For food, we ordered the blackened catfish, brisket burnt ends quesadillas, and harvest bowl to share. Everything was delicious and served quickly, even with the aforementioned dinner rush. 10/10 would order the same items again. I was so appreciative of the server splitting the entree over two plates without us asking. Did I mention the complimentary popcorn and cornbread? Twas a FEAST. I'm already thinking about the next time we're going back! If not for Moonshine, definitely for the speakeasy downstairs.

This tastes like it came straight out of someone's granny's kitchen in SPAIN. D E L I C I O U S. The menu isn't all vegan, but they've done an incredible job offering both traditional and vegan versions without losing any soul. Am I in heaven? Yes. The owner makes it a point to connect with customers, which was refreshing. You can tell this is passion-driven. You order via QR code at your table, then pick up out back when it's ready--easy. Everything is prepped daily in a Commercial kitchen and finished on the truck, and he proudly shared that the ingredients, spices, even the meats are sourced from Spain. Vegan paella? Incredible. Patatas bravas with vegan aioli? My personal favorite, sooo good. My husband loved the jamón serrano sandwich. And whatever you do, don't skip the sourdough rye with tomato spread. They also mix in a few Belgian items to match the bar, which adds to the whole European vibe. I already need to go back for the vegan fideuà and bombas..they were sold out, which tells you everything. Do yourself a favor: try this spot and support a small business that's clearly fueled by passion and flavor. Yum.

The croquetas and bravas are the best in Austin - better than Kalimotxo, San Gines, and El Raval. They were extremely delicious and the perfect texture and size. The paella was about as good as you could expect from a food truck. The tortilla was our least favorite - taste was good, but wasn't as liquidy as you'd expect in Spain. Overall, the food was great. We would definitely go back! Thank you for keeping this Spanish food authentic.

My man said he'd ask for extra meat next time, but that's just his personal preference. Otherwise, it was fantastic. The flavor was phenomenal, and if you're a tough critic when it comes to Philly cheesesteaks, I get it. I've had cheesesteaks at both Pat's and Phil's in Philadelphia IYKYK, and I can confidently say these stack up. They absolutely hold their own against the real thing. The Philly is definitely the star of the meal, but the fries were crispy and what you want out of a fry. The customer service was also wonderful, which made the whole experience even better. They also have a nice seating area and some parking right out front. Now, the funnel cake fries... OH MY GOD. We got the raspberry ones, and we literally had to talk ourselves out of ordering another batch and devouring the whole thing. They were so good, better than any actual funnel cake I've ever had. Needless to say, we'll absolutely be back!

Having enjoyed plenty of authentic Philly cheesesteaks over the years...many of them in Philadelphia itself...I approached this food truck with a healthy dose of skepticism. As soon as I arrived, I met Armand, who told me that he and his brother started the food truck about seven years ago. He was warm, personable, and genuinely Texas-friendly, which immediately set a positive tone for the experience. Ordering a cheesesteak is a simple three-step process: 1) Pick your cheese. 2) Choose your toppings. 3) Be polite and place your order. (I loved that part!) I ordered the cheesesteak with American cheese and grilled onions, along with a side of fries. Let me tell you...this sandwich completely exceeded my expectations! For a moment, I felt like I was back in Philly. The bread was soft, fresh, and flavorful. The steak was unbelievably tender and packed with flavor...so good that I couldn't stop talking about it. The portion size was generous enough for two people, so I ended up sharing half with the hubs. Needless to say, R&B's Steak and Fries turned this cheesesteak skeptic into a believer.
