Enjoy various Amari, select wines and craft cocktails indoors or out, set in Intero's modern casual atmosphere.

    It was OK and good, but wouldn’t necessarily recommend or feel the need to go back. I chose here because of the late night availability which was super convenient for me as I had a late arriving flight. Primary issue was an overdone filet. I noticed first that it seemed to take a bit long for medium rare. Then, it LOOKED overdone when I saw it. Then confirmed when I felt it. (I feel Chef should have noticed this in the back before even sending out). Anyway; the only reason I didn’t send it back was due to it being later in the evening. The staff was very friendly and I’m SURE they would have addressed it to satisfaction had a mentioned it. But I shouldn’t have HAD to mention it. There were simple checks that should have been done before It left the kitchen.

    One of the best experience in a restaurant in Austin. I’m happy that they got a Michelin star.. is well deserved. Staff is really attentive (very hard to find that kind of service in Austin), chef’s menu with pairing is incredible well balanced and it really takes you on a journey of taste. Well done!!

    Brunch was delicious, we'll definitely be back. The restaurant is in such a cute little house and had more seating than I expected thanks to some outdoor seating. Our server was just ok, not overly attentive but did just enough. Definitely recommend the lemon ricotta pancakes! My husband got the steak and eggs and it was a hearty portion. We also got a cinnamon roll which they heated up and it was really good. We easily found parking, but you should arrive earlier to account for this. I highly recommend making reservations!
