Best Casual Restaurants in Bee Caves / Lakeway / Lake Travis

Our server was fantastic and patient- we stayed over two hours and she didn’t push or rush us. She was attentive and pleasant. So thankful for time with friends we hadn’t seen in a long time so thank you for that- very appreciative.

Absolutely exceptional dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable celebration for my father's birthday. The service from Edwin, our server to Justin the GM who personally stopped by to wish my father a happy birthday, was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Each dish we tried was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The chef’s attention to detail was evident in every bite. The wine pairing was impeccable, complementing the flavors perfectly. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for an unforgettable culinary experience. We’ll definitely be returning soon!

Café Blue has quickly made a name for itself as a go-to spot for delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. My recent visit, however, was a mix of highs and lows, offering some great culinary experiences but also a few notable frustrations. Let’s start with the positives: the food at Café Blue was outstanding! Each dish we ordered was crafted with care and bursting with flavor. From the fresh ingredients to the artful presentation, it was evident that the chefs take great pride in their creations. The highlights for me included the seasonal specials, which featured unique flavor combinations that were both comforting and inventive. I left feeling satisfied and excited to return for more. However, the service left something to be desired. Upon our arrival the manager was rude, condescending and inappropriate telling us our reservation with Open Table was “iffy.” She scolded us and stated we are booked with reservations. Well, we made ours well in advanced, also. In addition, we experienced a significant wait for our drinks. It’s understandable that places can get busy but they had plenty of staff to assist. While the stellar food will definitely bring me back, I hope Café Blue addresses the service issues. Creating a welcoming environment for guests should be just as important as crafting delicious dishes. Overall, I would recommend Café Blue to anyone looking for great food, but be prepared for a potentially slow start when it comes to drinks. Here’s hoping for a smoother experience next time.

The food and service was excellent. The surroundings and view were beautiful.

The food selection and service were great. As a point of feedback. It would have been nice to have all the food in the same area. We were seated in a separate area and only had access to kid friendly options in our area. We had to walk to other areas for traditional dishes, salads and desserts. It was a great experience overall and a great option for my Mom and I. Una was awesome. I would have tipped him 20% even if gratuity wasn’t included.
