    First Time Visitors to Perry's. Had 7pm reservations, got there about 20 minutes early. Used valet to park, went to the bar to wait for table. By the time our drinks came, the table was ready. Kyle was our waiter and he was fantastic! Personable, fast and happy to make suggestions. We ordered a Porterhouse for two, it was favorable and cooked well. We had the mushrooms that were incredible and the grilled vegetables. We would return again.

    La Condessa is not a TexMex place. The dishes are Mexican “roots” food elevated to a gourmet level. The menu itself doesn’t do a good job of explaining the options but the wait staff does an excellent job of describing the dishes and how they are presented. Options for large or small plates exist. Drinks are excellent. Suggestion: go during happy hour when all drinks are half price and small tacos are only $3-. We did that before going into the main room for dinner. The churros dessert was delicious.

    We had the most amazing server, Vincenzo. He was so helpful and patient with me and any request I made.Vincenzo even had a surprise tiramisu packaged us for us to take home. The food was to die for! The blue crab pasta was easily the best thing on the menu and should be ordered by everyone. The only item we ordered that I didn’t completely love was the bone marrow because it was served with very oily bread which paired with bone marrow was just too heavy.

    Powder room is just stunning! It is absolutely one of the prettiest speakeasies I have been to in Austin, I was floored by the decor. The staff was also fabulous - Siobhan was my waitress and she was gorgeous, friendly, and gave great drink recs! Overall I would absolutely rec a visit to powder room; despite the “no phone” policy (they literally take your phone when you arrive and put it in a locker lol) it’s an excellent experience, and the drinks are super fun. A must visit!!

Discover Downtown

Austin offers the best of all worlds. Creatives love its vibrant arts scene and tolerant vibe. Entrepreneurs appreciate its tech-heavy graduate pool from the University of Texas at Austin and other local schools. Those looking for savory food options are just as happy with what the Texas capital city has to offer. A diverse range of international, fusion, and standard American fare satisfies every appetite. But the city is especially well-known for its variety of breakfast tacos, known as migas tacos. As part of the Texas Barbecue Belt, Austin is home to a mind-boggling number of BBQ joints. The city's Central Texas barbecue style, influenced by the European immigrants who settled here, involves show-stopping portions of pecan- or oak-smoked ribs and brisket.
