Every part of the experience was top notch. Great cocktails, amazing service and the ambiance like no other. All the food we had was exceptional but must try the Hamachi and Carpaccio. Any visit to Austin should include Prelude. Could be a quick drink and small bite to start the night but we made it our dinner with lots of tastes.

Chef Matilde and waitress Melissa were wonderful. For dessert, we had the fried Oreos which were out of this world! The tasted light and fluffy and reminded me of what Oreo beignets would taste like. We’re coming back just for this dessert!! Beautiful views as well.
