Best Seasonal Restaurants in South Austin

This was my first time visiting Nido. A friend came into town for a girls’ weekend, and Nido was the perfect place to end our day with dessert and drinks. Nick was our waiter, and he was great! The views of the river and city are stunning, and the atmosphere is a dream for GNO, date night, or just a nice outing. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Emmer & Rye was beyond our expectations. Some of the best food I have ever tasted. We sat at the chefs counter and got to watch all the preparations. The waiting staff is superb. Highly recommend this restaurant for date or special occasion.

Very reliable place to take family and friends. When are favorite table was taken we took to eating at the bar and still had a great meal and enjoyed our time. The manager was so great that not only did he acknowledge us but went to great lengths to make sure we were happy. Can't wait to go back!

We’ve been here several times and the food and service are always good. The edamame is particularly unique, specials menu has nice variety for all parties (pork belly delicious), nigiri is high quality, tender and buttery. Wine selection nice.

Perla's is Excellent! Went for a date-night dinner. Previously had only done the patio (apps/ bloodys, etc... which is great as well!) but do yourself a favor and have a proper meal there. Service is attentive and professional. Quality of food and flavor profile is something else ! Kicking myself for neglecting this spot the last 15+ years.
