    The service was impeccable and the Dean and Peeler Black Angus tenderloin was delicious, as was the chocolate soufflé. We also enjoyed the ham & Gruyère croquettes, the black truffle deviled eggs, the scallops, and the halibut. Wonderful place to celebrate any special event!

    Our experience at Nido tonight was absolutely amazing! The service was excellent, and Holden went above and beyond to accommodate our friend’s dietary restrictions with thoughtful suggestions. The ambiance was perfect, setting the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable evening. Watching the sunset added a magical touch to the atmosphere, making the night even more memorable. A big thank you to the team for creating such a delightful experience—we can’t wait to return!

    Wink is a longtime favorite, but we hadn’t been in a while. We returned for our 26th wedding anniversary and were reminded why Wink is one of Austin’s absolute gems. Vincent and his service team are impeccable… attentive and knowledgeable but never invasive. And the food is truly outstanding. We had the five-course tasting menu and it was dreamy. Wink made our anniversary dinner more special than we could ever have expected.

    Delighted with this new W Hotel restaurant- stunning interior. Excellent duck confit - tender and flavorful like we enjoy in European restaurants. Crisp and fresh endive salad with luscious rose water dressing. The bird’s nest cocktail is light and refreshing. We enjoyed excellent service and a quiet dining atmosphere.
