- TTonyVIPBaltimore / Maryland •8 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoFirst 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.More infoPerry's Steakhouse & Grille - Downtown AustinPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.6

- SStephanieVIPLas Vegas •10 reviews5.0Dined on 30 Jan 2025Powder 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!!More infoPowder RoomPrice: Expensive• Speakeasy• Downtown•4.6

Discover Austin
As Texas' state capital and center of culture, Austin has thriving arts and music scene that attracts millions of visitors a year. Austin also boasts a wide array of cuisine choices. If you have a craving, chances are good that you can get it sated here. You might not expect to find Hawaiian fare in the heart of Texas, but you can savor a chicken katsu spread over a bed of white rice and macaroni and garnished with carrot and cilantro. Elsewhere, you can order the Ethiopian national dish. This spicy chicken stew is slow-simmered in berbere sauce and served with several hard-boiled eggs. No trip to Texas is complete without sampling the barbecue, and Austin has numerous eateries serving up smoked ribs, brisket, pork and homemade sausage. Bring an appetite when you come to Austin.
