Service and dinner was exceptional! I ordered the stuffed poblano pepper and had shrimp with it and I would highly recommend it. Chicken piccata, duck and redfish was also very good.

Absolutely great experience for a Sunday brunch. Austin local and have wanted to visit Paperboy for a few years but was afraid it was going to be overhyped online. That was NOT the case. We had reservations for 4 ppl and they were running a bit behind. After a 15-20min wait they apologized and brought us some coffees. Once seated, service was great, food was spot on and all four dishes were fully enjoyed. And the staff brought us a comp starter for the wait (the French toast with mascarpone, which was OUT OF THIS WORLD) which was not necessary for a short wait but was absolutely appreciated and a pro move. Would I return? 100%

We sat at the bar. Our bartender James was amazing. We had the mini seafood fondu off of the Happy Hour menu which was incredible and perfect size for two people. They don't offer Sauvy B on the happy hour menu so we got a bottle for $38 which was fabulous. We decided to try something new we've never tried and we got the Mahi Mahi Boudreaux. This was delicious and enough food for the two of us to split it. It's our go-to date spot and will continue to be so! Can't recommend enough!
