What a cute spot! First time here as I passed through Austin this was the restaurant I made a reservation at. The food and wine were great, portions were satisfying, the chairs could have been more comfy, some tables are just sitting on and leaning against wood which my back didn't love after traveling all day. The only complaint I have is the line cooks chose to clean the grills while guests were still present which filled the room with an overwhelming cloud of smoke and aroma that agitated our senses.

We traveled from Denver for work and happened upon this restaurant. What a delicious treat! Great food, amazing service. The duck liver mousse profiterole for dessert was phenomenal. Next time we're in Austin we'll be back for sure!

Excellent hot spot for a unique dinner or brunch with an excellent choice of dishes and wines. Sunday brunch is a must or Tuesday Oyster night. You cannot go with any selection on the menu!

The food was all wonderful. We had a lamb ravioli, gnocchi, popovers and the fish of the day. It was all very savory and good flavor. I would say the pasta dishes were small but we left very full. Note they don’t have a full bar or “classic” soft drinks. They did surprise me with ice cream for my birthday, just based on my Open Table profile!

F & D is a standard bearer in Austin's dynamic restaurant scene. Food is creative and delicious. We had Popovers, Oysters Rockefeller, Rib Eye Cap & Romaine salad. No dessert. We ate our fill. All was scrumptious. Found a great bottle of wine from all places, the Canary Islands. F & D never disappoints. First time sitting at the counter and loved it. We will be back!

What an incredible experience. Absolutely incredible. A small neighborhood vibe. It smelled sooo good just stepping in the door. Friendly and helpful staff. Amazing dishes.... the gnocchi had this perfect texture and the mushrooms added so much flavor. The pasta with goat neck was so full of flavor..... just a great place.
