- WWaltAustin •16 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFood was outstanding. Started with drinks at the bar - bartenders were quite attentive and accommodating for our large group. At the table, our service was outstanding. Started with the Fettine Trio, Hamachi Tostadas, Elk Sliders, and Hushpuppies. Everything was delicious and nicely presented. The Elk Sliders were so good, several in our party re-ordered them for their entree. For the second course, the Boston Lettuce and Kale salads were a big hit. I would highly recommend the chili - very good and a nice portion. Finally, for the third course, I would recommend the bison ribeye and tomahawk steak. Ended the dinner with churros for the table. This was an exceptional experience, with highly attentive staff. I highly recommend.More infoLonesome Dove Western Bistro AustinPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.8
