I used City Search to research restaurants for a recent 5 day stay in Austin. I was impressed with the reviews others gave this restaurant. It did not disappoint. Beginning with the bartender who was so friendly and offered suggestions on the wine and the food and the waiter who made us feel we were the most important people in the restaurant. The food was spectacular...the Duck Bolognese was fabulous as was everything else to include the dessert which was a cappuccino flavored mousse that was to die for.
Don't miss this one!!
Pros: Food, service
Cons: no cons for us

I absolutely LOVE this place! They have the best super white tuna and miso soup I have ever had and I have tried a lot of different sushi places, not just in Austin. This is a great place for dinner, and they also have great lunch specials. I would also recommend trying their Passioberry Duo, it is just to die for!
This place can be a little pricey, but it is definitely worth it!
Pros: Yumm!
Cons: none

Chez Zee is probably a good choice for special events like birthdays or office parties. I've been there a couple of times and the food is definitely of more quality that most other Austin restaurants. But where they really kick it up a notch is on their dessert menu.
They have everything you can think of - from cheesecakes, chocolate cakes, pies, mousse and everything else in between. I've tried several of their desserts and none have disappointed me.
Their menu also has something for everyone. I love their steamed veggies, which are never overcooked and always taste fresh. Their sandwiches are also great.

The Sushi and Sashimi at Musashino are quite simply the freshest and most succulent I have eaten anywhere in the world - including Japan, which is amazing to find in central Texas. Compared to other places in town it's by no means cheap, but good Sushi and Sashimi is worth paying a little more for. Try the Spicy Scallop or the Spider Roll - they are to die for and I save them till the end of the meal. Their Unagi is also the best! Go on a Tuesday because they're closed on Mondays and everything is really fresh on Tuesdays!

Ok, for a place connected to gas stations - heck anywhere - this is just really good food.
You walk in past the convenience store and into a long line where you pick up drinks and any cold side dished (I highly recoemmend the banana pudding).
When you go to the counter make sure to tell them it is your first time in. Trust me.
They offer the standard Texas meats and cut them to order and put them in their fanct plates and platter (wax paper and a milk crate). The juicy brisket and lean brisket are great, turkey can be dry but when it isn't it is fantastic. They also offer one of the better sausages in town (for some reason most places oversmoke their links, gross). Not a fan of the prime rib meat, skip that one. The creamed corn is so good you want to slapp your momma for what she used to serve. They'll eye you and toss 1/2 a loaf of white bread in there too(more if you ask).
You take your crate to a picnic bench where paper towels and BBQ sauce to make sanwhiches or eat how you like. The sauce is excellent. Honestly it is my favorite in Austin - now if I can only sneak some into Salt Lick...that would be perfect). Overall the meat is cooked pretty good (not the best in town but very good) but the sauce and side are solid and make for agreat meal.
Clean up after yourself and then fill the tank up.
One of my favorite places in Austin, you can't go wrong.

Wow. This place was incredible! West 6th street, super swanky. The place has a great upscale but down to earth vibe. My friends and I went there Valentine's night and all the tables were booked but we walked in hoping for luck and, what do you know, we sat immediately at the bar and got served! Even better than sitting at a table! Our bartender/waitress Summer was awesome. Knowledgeable, super sweet. I began by sharing the cheese plate which came with wine soaked goat cheese, two types of blue cheese, manchego, and brie, crackers, grapes and prosciutto wrapped almond stuffed dates (oh my god!). It was an incredible beginning to the evening. Superseded only by our main entree: Steak Frites. The tenderloin was cooked medium, it was absolute perfection. The fries were thin cut, not greasy at all. It all came with a demi-glace which we poured over the fries... we were basically licking the plate. I cannot even put into words here how incredible everything was. The service, the ambiance, the food, the quality. The food was absolutely incredible. Flavorful... just perfection. I would without a doubt recommend this place and go back here in a heartbeat to try their other dishes.
Cocktails: Made with real fruit? What an idea! (I didn't drink all these myself!)
# Vespa - Kind of sweet and mellow, really nice. Made with pear vodka, gin, peach juice...
# Lagniappe - Needed to add a bit more raspberry puree to it because it was too strong for my tastes, but then it was delicious. At the bottom of my glass were all my crushed raspberries! Yum yum! Made with raspberries, lime, basil... vodka? or gin I think?
# Rockstar Martini
# Redlight Martini - Think this was the one which was just pomegranate juice and vodka, it was surprisingly delicious, the best cocktail of the night!
# Something with mango? Literally had mango puree coming up the straw, which was awesome, but it was made with bourbon, which I don't like.
Pros: ambience, food, location

Having recently moved to Austin, I'm in search of good pizza -- VERY good pizza. And Saccone’s delivered -- figuratively and literally! I ordered "Dan's Special" and was very happy with the freshness of ingredients and the taste. I definitely plan to order again and try their other combinations!
