Best Seasonal Restaurants in Downtown

The ambiance and view is amazing! Our server was on par.

Eddie V’s in Austin delivers an exceptional dining experience when it comes to food and service. The seafood and steak were perfectly prepared, with rich flavors and high-quality ingredients that truly stood out. The service was equally impressive—attentive, knowledgeable, and efficient, making for a smooth and enjoyable evening. However, the noise level was a major downside. The atmosphere was overwhelmingly loud, making it difficult to carry on a conversation without raising your voice. While the vibrant energy is part of the appeal for some, it was excessive to the point of being a distraction from an otherwise outstanding meal. If you’re looking for top-tier food and service and don’t mind a noisy setting, Eddie V’s is a solid choice. But if a quieter, more intimate dining experience is what you’re after, it may not be the best fit.

We went on Valentines night, which I’m sure is a challenge for any restaurant, but everything was perfect. Seated us on time, food and service were great. You do have to valet park here (was only $10 before tip) if you don’t try to find your own parking, but even that on such a busy night was really good. This is one of our go to restaurants and often bring our out-of-town family and friends here. 

Very reliable place to take family and friends. When are favorite table was taken we took to eating at the bar and still had a great meal and enjoyed our time. The manager was so great that not only did he acknowledge us but went to great lengths to make sure we were happy. Can't wait to go back!

As a former Austin resident, Truluck's was always one of our favorite dining spots. While back in town for a business meeting, I knew exactly where to take our clients for a great dinner—Truluck's was the only choice. With their selection of fresh seafood flown in daily from the East Coast, they did not disappoint. The large crab claws were a standout, especially for our guests who had never tried them before. In fact, their CEO enjoyed them so much, he ate three himself! Truluck’s remains a must-visit for us whenever we’re in Austin or at one of their other Texas locations.
