Price: Expensive
• Indian • North Central
Booked 4 times today
Saffron serves an eclectic mixture of traditional Indian Cuisine punctuated by the flavors of the Himalayas. Our food stand true to its roots and origin while we source most of our produce locally. All dishes, sauces, naans and desserts are made in house from scratch. We are proud to be the first restaurant in Austin with a dedicated Nepalese menu. Nepal is a land of many flavors, while many of its dishes are indigenous and indicative of its culture and people, while few are inspired by its immediate neighbors, India and China. Our Nepalese menu is a thoughtful mix of both.

• Contemporary American • Downtown
Booked 2 times today
Nightcap was originally conceived as a place for sweet sustenance and sparkling cocktails. Since then, we have evolved into so much more. Our space is now known as a late night, date night spot for guests and friends alike. The cozy atmosphere is welcoming, romantic and is also a great place to dine solo. It’s a space to make new friends, enjoy some incredibly tasteful food and cocktails that aim to please. Nightcap carries an old school Austin vibe that is hard to be classified as a bar or restaurant. We like to consider ourselves as a nightly dinner party at your friends house. The idea is to come over, have a great time and let us clean up afterwards. On special occasions, glitter is our favorite color that is often paired with bubbles. We hope you join us for any occasion and truly enjoy your evening.

• Steakhouse • West Austin / Westlake
Booked 8 times today
At Bob’s you are treated like family. When you arrive at your table, the famous pickles come standard and a fresh, hot loaf of bread is delivered almost immediately for you to enjoy while you order your drinks and your meal.Known for our filets, Bob’s only serves prime cuts of beef. They have more marbling and flavor than the choice filets most other steak houses serve. Bob’s dinners have always included their iconic, larger than life, glazed carrot and your choice of potato. It’s a tradition and a great value they are proud to offer our guests. One carrot with one prime steak at a time totaling, about three tons of carrots each week. It may seem silly for a world-class steak house to tout its glazed carrot, but once you’ve tried it, you’ll understand. We consider sleeveless shirts on men, flip flops, boldly logoed athletic attire/gym attire, beach/pool wear too casual. We also ask that ball caps be removed while in the restaurant. Business casual ok.Reservations are recommended.

    We stopped in late night on Valentine’s for small bites and drinks after having attended a comedic play at the Dougherty. First time experience and truly an “experience”. It’s almost like we walked into the “second act” of the play; high energy, great people watching and people engagement. Christin, Drew, Sabine, Jake and everyone there were a blast. Food and drinks were spot on. Great environment.

    Not trying to be a pretentious ars here but we’ve eaten in France & New Orleans and have had a hard time matching those experiences. My wife, daughter, granddaughter and I had a Valentines dinner here tonight. I can say that the food and the experience were great. French Onion soup was quality, I tasted my daughter’s tequila martini & ordered one myself, lamb chops were perfect and the banana, nutella crepe was one of the best desserts I’ve had. Coming from a fat guy, that’s a compliment. First timer who will be back for more

    Fantastic Galentine's Girls' Night at Salty Sow! My friends and I had a wonderful evening at Salty Sow! From start to finish, everything was spot on—the food, the ambiance, and the service. We kicked things off with the deviled eggs, which were creamy, flavorful, and the perfect bite to start the meal. The BBQ brisket croquettes were a standout—crispy on the outside, tender and smoky on the inside, with just the right balance of richness. For dessert, we couldn't resist the bananas foster, and it did not disappoint! The caramelized bananas and creamy ice cream made for the perfect sweet ending. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a fun and relaxed girls' night out. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!

    Our visit to Saffron on Saturday night was very satisfying! The service is excellent and the food is really special. We love the scallops for an appetizer. They sauce they use with them is amazing. We both got fish dishes off the Indian selections and they were excellent. We have gone often in the past and are happy to start putting this wonderful, quiet gem back on our regular schedule.
