Restaurants near East Austin Townhome by TurnKey Vacation Rentals

Chris took phenomenal care of us for our 13th wedding anniversary. We had the sole and the filet- both cooks to perfection. we started with cocktails & the crabcake. All of his recommendations were spot on and we cannot wait to go back.

I rarely take the time to write reviews but this one really deserves it. We hail from San Francisco so we weren't expecting much from an Italian restaurant in Austin. We were blown away. We ordered the snapper and special pasta (chicken filled ravioli.) The snapper was cooked on their plancha and retained it's moistness. The pasta is on the top five list of pastas I have ever had in my life. I think they must have used smoked chicken from their wood burning grill. We weren't in the mood for beef, but wish we were as everything that was coming off that grill looked over the top good. We were fortunate enough to be sat at the kitchen counter (or they accidentally gave away our table for 2 and had to seat us there) so we had a front row seat to the magic that was coming out of the kitchen. This is kind of a nerdy comment, but the expediter gets an A+. They had a very large party upstairs (like 8 family style dishes at a time) and some how he was able to get all the other food out in a timely manner.

We sat outside in the coziest little nook under a heater and it was absolutely perfect!! Crab cake/shrimp and grits were so flavorful and excellent. Service was just right-always on time. Chocolate peppermint ice cream was outrageous! Need to sell that!

Food was great, portions were incredibly generous which makes the price worth it. Ambiance was cute and service was good, very European where after they deliver your food they really only come back over when you ask, which is completely fine. It was a bit loud for brunch with the DJ and large parties. But overall my group and I enjoyed our visit and will be back!

Such an excellent meal ! The flavors of every dish were so complex and balanced : ) Thank you all ! Kind and fun service and the drinks were delish !
