Best Authentic Restaurants in Allandale

Went here for my birthday celebration and it was absolutely amazing! One of the prettiest restaurants i’ve ever been to and the surprised us with a birthday dessert! Great service and the food was amazing! It was loud when we went because they had a dj so beware if that’s not your thing.

Wonderful place to grab dinner on a date. Very energetic.

Always a fantastic experience, truly, lately has even been my favorite restaurant in Austin, and I’m very much a native. Customer service and ambiance are always fly far above reproach. This outing, their GM Matt even texted personally to see if we’d like to move in to a better reservation… bravo! For recommendations, the spicy margs, machete (fancy quesadilla) , crab tostada, Caesar salad, salmon, and carne asada are some of our very favorites. Try a mezcal and recommendation too, impressive list. My Spanish CEO, a bit of a wine aficionado, was a bit skeptical, but every bottle has exceeded his high bar. Oh and they have a fantastic happy hour and Friday lunch. Enjoy!

We had a wonderful early Valentines date at Verdad. We had hoped for a quiet, intimate table, but this is not the set up for this restaurant. But…..DO NOT STOP READING THIS REVIEW!!! We were seated at a window table in the bar area, and were blown away by the experience. Our server was very pleasant, knew the menu well and presented each item with such flare and creativity! The food and drinks were beyond amazing. It was a pleasantly memorable experience that I highly recommend.

Chef Endo takes omakase to the next level with his top quality sushi and intimate counter service where you get to converse with him and his kitchen staff. I’ve done omakase at many Austin restaurants and Endo is my favorite. Where else can you dine on incredible sushi and have your chef rock out on his electric guitar during your final course?!
