- MMaggieAustin •31 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoYay, trained and professional wait staff and servers! This makes a huge difference to a dining experience. The food was delicious and served in acceptable portions so that diners may partake of several courses without feeling too full, too empty, or wasteful. My standouts were the hamachi with a soy vinaigrette and duck poivrè. For my husband, it was the best lobster bisque that he can remember. It is a go-to for him. He’s partaken of it at many top notch restaurants around the country. He enjoyed the halibut and creamed spinach. I had intended to have steak but the steak portions were just too large for me. The smallest was a 6 or 8 oz filet. Maybe I could have handled one though because my duck breast must have been very close in size and I left none. Oh, my husband loved the popover at the start of the meal. I’ve had better but again, I left none. Maybe it was the delicious rosemary honey butter? Plan on $125 per person minimum for a complete dining experience, sans alcohol. Valet parking.More infoJeffrey's RestaurantPrice: Very Expensive• American• Central Austin•4.9

- LLatriceSan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis place was like a hidden gem! Maybe because I never looked into gluten free food options until I had to. But everything was incredible! The location is super cute, they have great mocktails (if you don’t drink) and the food is outstanding! I will definitely be back.More infoATX CocinaPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Downtown•4.9

- CChrisvipAustin •2 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 14, 2024Each 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!More infoSushi EndoPrice: Very Expensive• Creative Japanese• Old West Austin•4.9
