My husband and I got the smoked trail boss ribeye and the steak just melted in my mouth on the first bite!! We also got the chuck wagon Cheesecake and that was sooo delicious! It was our first time there and we will definitely be coming back.More infoSteiner Ranch SteakhousePrice: Very Expensive• Steak• Northwest•4.7
- EELISEAustin •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWhat a memorable night! It was worth the wait of having to make a reservation months in advance. We dined on a Friday evening and there was such a synergy to the entire restaurant. Even the Chef on expo looked so at ease with tickets flying in, he stopped and said hi to a smiling baby. Our server Kevin made us feel welcomed and as if we were the only table he was serving, just flawless. The steak cut like butter, it was perfect and highly recommend. The gnocchi reminded me of the last time I was in Italy, just delicious fluffy pillows. Our 9 year old had the Bolognese and it was bursting with flavor which was unexpected but delightful. We also had the meatballs and garlic bread, a perfect way to start the meal. Save room for dessert, you will not be disappointed. The only criticism was that our table was by the entry door and it was drafty and cold. I had to keep my jacket on during dinner, but other than that we look forward to returning in March!More infoRed Ash ItaliaPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.9
- KKristenVIPAustin •19 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWonderful atmosphere. Served nailed our service expectations and was not pushy which was a nice change. Loud and energetic inside but could still have a conversation. Food was very good!More infoYamas AustinPrice: Expensive• Greek• Austin•4.5
- TTaraAustin •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe went on a Tuesday night and it was HOPPIN'! The entire place was packed, standing room only at the bar, and really loud, but that's what you get with a place with really high ceilings. We were seated right away, which was nice. Our server was adorable and knowledgeable. Since they were super busy, the main entrees took a bit to come out and were oddly timed, but worth the wait. Everything was delicious, and we even had a couple picky kids with us. We will definitely go back someday......probably without the kids.More infoBulevar Mexican KitchenPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Arboretum•4.7

Avocado toast was delicious! Our waitperson was attentive and accommodating. Looking forward to returning sooner than later!More infoJosephine HousePrice: Expensive• American• Central Austin•4.8
