The food was wonderful. Expensive, but worth it. However, our waiter was arrogant, snide, and inattentive. He ruined what should have been a delightful evening. We didn't complain to management, but should have.
We've eaten at every Thai restaurant in Austin, as well as having eaten at a fair number of Thai places in San Francisco and Seattle. In terms of the tastiness of the food, Thai Kitchen knocks our socks off. The food is simply wonderful. They are known for their hot and spicy menu items, but we'v...
Tried it once - won't go back. Sushi didn't seem fresh and the prices were high. Very slow service.
Best sushi in Austin. Wonderful, fresh fish. Imaginative rolls. Excellent. The Shogun roll is a must try. Sit at the sushi bar and enjoy a nice chat with the very nice sushi chef/owner. A little far south, but well worth the drive. There is never a wait as this is a well kept secret.
Great Mexican food. Not the usual Tex-Mex. Fresh ingredients in a fun atmosphere.
I was not impressed with the location on Red River at all. My food was prepared incorrectly, the price for mexican food was outragious, it tasted bland, it was cold, and just not what I expected. The dining area I was seated in was cramped and service was slow and looked like they didn't have enou...
It was a really neat restaurant,though it's hard to find this place, but when you walk in, I thought I was somewhere in Tokyo !The have tatami there ... so you can experience how it's like sitting on your leg - if you are a female, and have your legs fall asleep on you ?! =) The overall customer ...
Mariscos Seafood is a great place for authentic Mexican seafood. They have a variety of entrees at a very reasonable price. If anyone is in that neighborhood I suggest they stop by and try a shrimp cocktail or maybe some ceviche. It is a family run business and everyone is polite!!
Opens at 11am for outstanding weekend Brunch on Sat and Sun. Dogs (leashed) are welcome on the La'Nai. Service was superb and friendly. This is a wonderful place to visit!
I loved this place. The bbq is fabulous. I had a brisket and sausage plate, and the meat was tender and well-cooked. Very delicious. Bbq lovers everywhere need to visit. They do have long waits, however. Famous for their baby-back pork ribs. The waitress was very polite and efficient, and the...
FOUND THE RESTAURANT TO BE PRETENTIOUS. STRIVES TO BE FINE DINING EXPERIENCE, BUT FAILS MISERABLY TO GIVE THE PATRONS ANY SENSE OF PRIVACY AS TABLE AFTER TABLE ARE STACKED IN THE SMALL SPACE. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR AN INTIMATE EVENING!
SERVICE WAS FAIR, WAITED 10-15 MINUTES FOR COFFEE AFTER THE DESSER...
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin; it also appears regularly on the Austin Chronicle's best-of poll. The restaurant is in an old house with a patio and a garden out back; not only can you peruse the garden, but many of it's contents regularly appear on the menu. The atmosphere is A...

Great Burgers and Steaks.
We are still talking about their fresh buns.
It was the best burger I ever had.
Just great!!!!!
Great Beer selection and service. Friendly people with a friendly atmosphere.
Heard about the place in austin.dining newsgroup. We went and were very impressed. The service is top-notch, California rolls were great, and the entrees we had were excellent. Highly recommended.
Warm chips, cold beer, HOT food! Excellent!
Being a regular user of Active Diner I was amazed that there were no postings about Las Palomas. This restaurant offers only interior food from Mexico with wonderful authentic recipes. My wife had the shrimp in chipotle sauce (about $11.00)and they were incredible. I had a plate with a mole enchilad...
The overall surroundings of this restaraunt are cozy and warm. This is an intimate dining wxperience. I never feel rushed out the door, and feel that I can really spend time enjoying the person that I am with.
The food is excellent, and rich with flavor. I have yet to order something that I di...
