Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Austin

I had supper with a friend at Five West recently to catch up on old times. We met during the supper hour and the place was packed and filled with energy. We had a reservation so we had no trouble getting a table. We shared a glass of wine, a flatbread, and a delicious drunken blondie for dessert. We had plenty of time to talk and laugh. Typically I go to Five West at "off hours." At those times, it is quiet and relaxing. The restaurant fits multiple needs, and all are very well done from food to atmosphere.

My eighth time here. The highlight of my visits to Mayos. I’ve experienced most items on the menu, all of which have been superb. The many servers I’ve had are well-versed on the menu, professional, and welcoming attitude.

Excellent choice. This is not the tippy top steakhouse, but their prices are awesome and in line for the market. Easy place to recommend at the Diamond Jo.
