About the restaurant

South Texas Ice House, "Texas Cuisine" Products from the Texas Gulf to the Texas Hill Country.

"The huge snake logo on the outside of an otherwise nondescript building -- created by Bob "Daddy-O" Wade, best known for the oversize boots that front San Antonio's North Star Mall -- is your first hint that this place might be a bit, well, different. Inside, cowboy kitsch, 1950s diner decor, and Mexican folk art mingle, as do workers from the nearby county offices, local movers and shakers, and anyone else looking for terrific food that, like the decor, defies easy categorization.

Call it South Texas gourmet. You can really taste the chipotle chilies in the tartar sauce that comes with some of the best crispy oysters this side of the Mason-Dixon Line, and the Gulf fish tacos are gussied up with chili lime aioli and Tabasco jalapeño onions. You get the idea -- lots of spicy dishes."

Nightcap was originally conceived as a place for sweet sustenance and sparkling cocktails. Since then, we have evolved into so much more. Our space is now known as a late night, date night spot for guests and friends alike. The cozy atmosphere is welcoming, romantic and is also a great place to dine solo. It’s a space to make new friends, enjoy some incredibly tasteful food and cocktails that aim to please. Nightcap carries an old school Austin vibe that is hard to be classified as a bar or restaurant. We like to consider ourselves as a nightly dinner party at your friends house. The idea is to come over, have a great time and let us clean up afterwards. On special occasions, glitter is our favorite color that is often paired with bubbles. We hope you join us for any occasion and truly enjoy your evening.

The food was delicious, and the service was perfect. Everything we ordered came out quickly. There was a live piano player which added an elegance to the ambiance. The decor is very well done, and the place is possibly the cleanest restaurant I've ever eaten at. The open kitchen concept is very well laid out. Overall, a great restaurant and I'll be back.

Just fantastic. Tried the tasting menu (and wine pairings) on a whim. Was not disappointed. A really unexpected, really fantastic meal.

Food you’ve had, like you’ve never had before. Familiarly strange, strangely familiar.
Nestled upstairs off of one of the busiest streets in Austin, the lure of our funky twist on classics pulls patrons into our hidden attic for a journey into an eccentric and eclectic culinary world serving modern, whimsical shared plates.

Great service . Waiter knew the food and beverage menus well. A bit on the noisy side. Could have done without the rap music in the mix. Would not deter us from going back. Cool interior including the bar.
