If you are looking for someplace new to dine in Austin, think about Vespaio. Located on South Congress, Vespaio is a great place to have a special Italian meal with that someone special. Because the restuarant only takes reservations Monday-Thursday until 6:30 pm, there is usually a long line of folks waiting to get in, so prepare for a long wait if you do not have a reservation. If you do have to wait, it will be worth it - I promise. While all meals there are wonderful, I would highly recommend the home made pasta - truly divine!

I love Katz's!! The pickles and homemade potato chips are a great start to the meal. My favorite is the french dip, but my husband loves the reuben. A little pricey and parking can be a pain - but worth it!

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 Superseded only by our main entree: Steak Frites.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

This place has the best margaritas I've ever had (house rita on the rocks with salt).
Also, they have happy hour every day from 4-6, when all appetizers are half price (in addition to drink discounts). Three apps between two people is a meal. So great food, great drinks, and a good price.
If you do want something off of their regular dinner menu, nothing on it has ever disappointed - the Relleno del Mar is an exceptional treat.
Pros: Best happy hour in town, Best margaritas in Austin

Perfect service, great food, wine list is deep. Eat in the dining room or at the bar, same great experience. It is pricey though but you get what you pay for.

This review is for the new location that just opened at 620 & Anderson Mill Road. My boyfriend and I have been looking for a good pizza place, and we found a great one! The pizza is delicious, thin crust style (but not crunchy), and the ingredients are great quality and tasty. I haven't had the subs yet, but if they are anything like the pizza, I'm sure they're great too. The kitchen is open to the dining room, and the cooks asked us on our way out how we liked our meal. Of course it was wonderful. I love it when the cooks at a restaurant are genuinely interested in whether you liked the food. They obviously take a lot of pride in making their guests happy. I don't know whether it's family-owned, but it sure felt that way, like a homey, local establishment. We'll definitely be back.
Pros: good food, fair prices
Cons: menu at new location still a bit limited

The Hula Hut is located on Lake Austin and always has a huge crowd and wait. The wait is worth it once you taste the food. The atmosphere is vey realxing, and the people are all very friendly. After a day running around Austin, or playing around on the lake, the Hula Hut serves up a great Tubular Taco. The steak is very moist and juicy, and the chili sauce tasted like something I have never hd before-all around delicious!

Its Thanksgiving and my personal tradition is chinese food. I live off Riverside and of course nothing is open. I found only one chinese restaurant open today-Din Ho. All I can say is... yum! This place is delicious. We got the hot and sour soup, chicken with cashew nuts,Pan fried beef flat noodles, and egg rolls. The egg rolls may be the best I've ever had in my life. The pan fried flat noodles were ridiculously greasy, but oh so good. The chicken with cashew nuts was surprisingly light, not greasy and very very good. The hot and sour soup was rocking as well. Best chinese food I've had in Austin to date. I will definitely be driving the 10 miles up north from riverside for this yummy take out again.

Mars is simply outstanding! My girlfriend and I love to go there. I have never had anything less than an exceptional experience there, dating back to the old location by campus. Zen the bartender and Teddy the manager always go out of their way to ensure our needs are met. I like the mixed grill; the different meats (usually duck, beef, and pork, but last time I had the salmon) are always perfectly and exquisitely cooked. The beef tenderloin is my girlfriend's favorite, and we agree that it is the best steak available in town!
Pros: Great food and service
