Restaurants near DoubleTree by Hilton Austin-University Area

We recently had friends visiting us from Boston, and we decided to take them to Aba for Saturday brunch. Let me just say—what an incredible experience! We made reservations ahead of time, and everything from start to finish exceeded our expectations. We ordered nearly everything from the brunch menu, including dips and hot mezzes, and every single dish was an absolute delight. Everything came out fresh and tasted phenomenal. The muhammara and burnt garlic hummus were crowd favorites. The falafel and Brussel sprouts were made to perfection. The desserts were equally impressive—the sticky date cake was an absolute star, and the cheesecake with its delicate puff pastry crust on top was unforgettable. Although the interior ambiance was exquisite, we opted to sit outside by the bar due to the size of our party and the perfect weather, which added to the charm of the experience. Our waitress was incredibly sweet and courteous, enhancing the overall great vibe of the place. Aba truly delivered a memorable dining experience. If you’re in town, this place is a must-visit! Delicious food, excellent service, and an all-around amazing brunch spot. Five stars all the way!

Every dish we tried was delicious! We sat outside on the patio and it was a lovely evening. The table was perfect for two people. The dishes we tried were the tuna tiradito appetizer, and the este ceviche. Both were very yummy but the tuna especially was delicious!! It had the perfect balance of acidity and crunchy onions. Omg my mouth is still watering. Then we got the fish tacos that were light and fluffy. Then we finished with the cochinita pibil. Everything was chefs kiss! Would definitely go back! Perfect date spot too!

First time: Made reservations about two months in advance— the place was packed! Everyone was either celebrating something or spending time with loved ones. A great atmosphere! The food was outstanding, a great selection of wines and liquors at the bar. Service was faster than expected, especially considering how busy the place was. Reasonable prices all-around and excellent experience from the staff and the atmosphere.

🌟✨ Perry's Steakhouse in Downtown Austin exceeded all expectations for our Christmas Eve dinner! 🎄🍽️ From the incredible selection to the amazing wait staff who were not only knowledgeable but also patient, attentive, and engaging, every moment was a delight. A surprise visit from Santa Claus added an extra touch of magic to our evening, making it truly unforgettable. The holiday atmosphere was enchanting, and then there was the food... 😋🥩 From a mouthwatering pork chop medley to steaks that were downright criminal in their deliciousness, every dish was a masterpiece. And let's not forget the dessert lineup - pumpkin cheesecake and chocolate crunch that redefine decadence! Perry's is a must for any occasion where food plays a starring role in your celebration. Highly recommend for an exceptional dining experience in Austin! 🌟🍷🍴 #PerrysSteakhouse #ChristmasDinner #FineDiningExperience #AustinEats 🎉👌
