• Contemporary American • Downtown
Booked 3 times today
Nightcap was originally conceived as a place for sweet sustenance and sparkling cocktails. Since then, we have evolved into so much more. Our space is now known as a late night, date night spot for guests and friends alike. The cozy atmosphere is welcoming, romantic and is also a great place to dine solo. It’s a space to make new friends, enjoy some incredibly tasteful food and cocktails that aim to please. Nightcap carries an old school Austin vibe that is hard to be classified as a bar or restaurant. We like to consider ourselves as a nightly dinner party at your friends house. The idea is to come over, have a great time and let us clean up afterwards. On special occasions, glitter is our favorite color that is often paired with bubbles. We hope you join us for any occasion and truly enjoy your evening.

    We had an early Saturday evening dinner (5:30 pm) with another couple. The table was in a nice alcove and very quiet at that time. We had lovely conversation and great food, drinks and dessert. The server was prompt, knowledgeable, and efficient. When we left around 7:30 pm, the bar was very full of customers eating and drinking and was quite lively. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and even more customers were arriving.

    Excellent service. The hostess and servers were beyond. They even offered us warm blankets and always kept your drinks refilled the entire evening. We had a fabulous, chill and cozy time. Only things that could make it better would be a reverse happy hour for better value on food items and a hot tea selection.

    Fantastic dinner here. Parking available, promptly greeted and seated; our waiter was excellent, made sure we were aware of HH specials and cut-off for ordering from that menu. Both apps we ordered were great, as was the Redfish Anna with lump crab. The fish was a pricey fish but the portion size and quality of the fish, crab and delicious sauce made it more than worthwhile. Highly recommend!!
