Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in South Austin

The food was excellent, the service was good, the ranch water was the best I’ve ever had in my life.

Very pretty place, including the hotel itself. Spent some time at the bar downstairs and then up at Geraldine’s. It seemed almost quiet in comparison, which was great for dinner and then around 9 o’clock. The band came on and it was extremely loud but if I was coming to see the band that would’ve been great. If I had started my dinner 10 minutes before they went on I don’t think we would’ve been able to talk that much. But depending on what you’re wanting to do either experience would be great. Just good to know what you’re getting into. It worked out perfect for us as we had a long three hour dinner and then caught at the beginning of the band before moving on. Good times will definitely come back.

We celebrated Valentine's Day. It was an incredible experience. I recommend to visit this restaurant if you have the chance it. You will enjoy since the first moment with the attention and the food.

We went for a Galentine‘s but the service really put a damper on our evening. The restaurant is small and somewhat dark, the noise level is medium so it’s great for conversation amongst friends or an intimate dinner. We had the bucatini, which was excellent. The pizza was very good as well with a crispy crust. We also ordered the shoulder, which I don’t know if I would recommend. Th ricotta whip and the short rib appetizer, both excellent. Small plates, good price point, good for sharing. The service was the only poor part of this experience. The waiter was rushing, kept asking to remove plates while we were still eating. Tossed the dessert menu apparently annoyed. Either bad day for waiter or this is their culture to rush.

Excellent food and atmosphere. It was lively, if not a little loud. We had four items, including the ceviche, brisket tacos, flautas, and sweet potatoes. I would recommend all. They were all super flavorful. The balance of potatoes and duck in the flautas was a little off (too much potato) which made it a little bland, but the mole sauce hit the mark and helped round out the flavor. We would definitely return and try other items.
