Food Scene

Probably our favorite restaurant for special occasions. Try to get a reservation or if you're here on Sundays, go for Happy Hour in the bar (opens at 4:30pm). The entire bar snack menu is half off (which is a good deal on the usually priced $26 burger). Cocktails and wine also have discounts.

One of Austin's most famous chefs, Tyson Cole, created magic with this sushi / Japanese small plates restaurant. While pricey, it's unpretentious and one of the best meals you'll have if you like Japanese. It's. that. good. It's also close to the house!

A Southern haven located in South Austin on the grounds of an old estate. Either sit outside amongst the Live Oaks and peacocks or go inside to the newly renovated interior that has a sophisticated yet approachable setting. Have an old fashioned in the quaint upstairs bar and try the two best dishes on the menu: the cauliflower and the biscuits.

The closest restaurant to us! You can even walk there. Originally started in Houston, Tiny's is known for their upscale, beach house environment and chocolate chip cookies. It's a great spot to grab a glass of wine at the bar or patio, a cheese board and some light entrees. Also great for weekend brunch.

Drinks & Nightlife

This is a classic Texan honky tonk and (for now) fairly untouched by tourists. Local and non-local country bands play every night and the Lone Star Beer flows like the Rio Grande or the Draa River (that's a river in Morocco).
