Best Fine Dining Restaurants in South Austin

Celebrated wedding anniversary, service was amazing and hospitable.

We are from New Orleans in town for a long weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to this highly-rated prime seafood and steak restaurant in Downtown Austin. Classic white-tablecloth tables, elegantly attired service staff, very friendly, professional and attentive service, and our lead server, Danielle, was very helpful. Our Martini and Smoked Old Fashioned cocktails were perfectly crafted, the 5-ounce crab cake appetizer was shareable for two, very tasty, and almost all crabmeat, just perfect. The Ahi Tuna (spicy, nice) and 10-ounce Filet (medium rare, cooked perfectly) entrees were absolutely delicious, accompanied by a (small-option) order of asparagus, shared by the two of us, sized just right, and we had Sauvignon Blanc and Malbec wines by the glass. Thank you, Danielle and team, for a truly wonderful dining experience.

III Forks has always been my go to steak house. The ambiance, food, staff, service, etc is above and beyond what I expect every visit. Mick as a server makes dinner an experience. He is not only attentive and helpful with recommendations but also extremely fun and humorous. In five years I have never gone to III forks without requesting Mick. We started with the chicken fried lobster and calamari which is both 10/10. Both come with amazing sauces as well. As a table we got seasonal vegetables, asparagus, baked potato, and Brussels sprouts all of which were absolutely delicious. The filet and kings butter is truly to die for and will forever be my favorite steak. For drinks we had the love position, mule, and margarita and I cannot recommend the love position more if you enjoy a very sweet strawberry drink. We finished with “Irish dessert” drinks. 1000/10 food and experience.

We had a wonderful evening at BOA. The table side Caesar salad was excellent and our steaks were perfect!

Every part of the experience was top notch. Great cocktails, amazing service and the ambiance like no other. All the food we had was exceptional but must try the Hamachi and Carpaccio. Any visit to Austin should include Prelude. Could be a quick drink and small bite to start the night but we made it our dinner with lots of tastes.
