Best Romantic Restaurants in Old West Austin

The food is out of this world and our server was attentive in the most balanced ways and knew the menu well! Ask for Vincenzo, he’s an amazing server! Its my #1 place to take guests who are in town, but you have to plan ahead!

We celebrated my wife’s birthday here last night and from the get go felt like we were taken care of. The hosts seemed sincere and cheerful wishing her a happy birthday, and that set the tone for the night feeling special. I’ve worked in service, and I know it’s not always easy to be festive on someone else’s behalf when tons of birthdays are celebrated every day, and the kindness of the staff stood out. Sandra took wonderful care of us, comped a dessert for the birthday and made sure we had everything we needed while giving us our time and space to enjoy the meal. We will be back!

Waited way too long before coming and regret it. Everything here is great and the staff is amazing. They are all accommodating and explain what everything is. Will forever keep coming back!

When you first enter Hopfields from Guadalupe street you’re in the bar / lounge. On the Friday night we were there it was bustling and I was a bit worried. But the space is much larger than just that first room, and after following the hall a bit we were seated in a room in the back where we could have a wonderful date night meal with just the right amount of separation from the other diners including those in the nearby large party seating areas. Anna was pleasant, knowledgeable, and just the right amount of attentive. The food was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the French onion soup, beet and ricotta salad, duck wings a l’orange, and lamb shank. Can’t wait to go back and try several other dishes.

Each course was beautifully prepared and tasted like perfection. Chef Endo and Vincent used different techniques to highlight the fish. We appreciated it all and couldn’t pick a favorite so it was nice when we were given opportunity to add repeats at the end of the meal along with some specialty items. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful meal, Chef!
