    We had a reservation, but when we got there, we had to wait 25 minutes to get a table. And wait about the same amount of time for food as well.

    If you haven't eaten at Foreign & Domestic, you are missing out. One of our fav restaurants in Austin (may be our fav). The staff works so hard to provide great service and incredible food. Sit at the bar and watch them hard at work to bring you amazing food. Love the ambiance and neighborhood feel. Enjoy!

    What a cute spot! First time here as I passed through Austin this was the restaurant I made a reservation at. The food and wine were great, portions were satisfying, the chairs could have been more comfy, some tables are just sitting on and leaning against wood which my back didn't love after traveling all day. The only complaint I have is the line cooks chose to clean the grills while guests were still present which filled the room with an overwhelming cloud of smoke and aroma that agitated our senses.

    We traveled from Denver for work and happened upon this restaurant. What a delicious treat! Great food, amazing service. The duck liver mousse profiterole for dessert was phenomenal. Next time we're in Austin we'll be back for sure!

    Excellent hot spot for a unique dinner or brunch with an excellent choice of dishes and wines. Sunday brunch is a must or Tuesday Oyster night. You cannot go with any selection on the menu!

    We have been before and the food and service are AH-MAZING! This time, we sat outside and I thought it would be some sort of patio, but it was just part of their parking lot with a tent over it. It was a dirty ground and not the best ambiance for a romantic evening - So, sit inside when you go!!!!
