    Very nice cute eatery with indoor and outdoor seating. Very friendly staff and a pretty selective menu. All healthy eating! Food was served timely and with a good temperature. Very clean establishment. Noise level was low. The food was actually really tasty and you get nice size portions. Definitely worth visiting when in the domain.

    Are you a creature of habit? Do you check your physical mail box every day? Do you read all email messages as soon as fly into your inbox? Do you sleep on the same side of the bed every night? Do you drive to familiar points of interest the same way each time? Do you wear 20% of your clothing 80% of the time? Do you eat mostly the same foods? Well, I am a creature of habit especially when it comes to food. There are certain restaurants I get the same each time. Flower Child is one of those restaurants. Every time I dine at Flower Child I get the Mother Earth Bowl (Ancient grains, sweet potato, Portobello mushroom with grilled onions, avocado, cucumber, broccoli pesto. leafy greens, hemp seeds and red pepper miso vinaigrette) especially when I am having a plant-based food day. I love the combination of textures and flavors...an explosion of goodness in your mouth. Today, I was living on the jagged edge of life and also ordered the kale salad (say it isn't so!). Both menu items were excellent. My cashier rang me up lightning fast! Another server came over to me to see if I needed anything. I said I could use some more avocado. She brought over more avocado pretty quickly without charging me an additional fee. This was much appreciated. I also order a tea. Flower Child serves Passion Fruit black tea, Rose Petal lemonade and Mango Sencha green tea. My first selection of tea was the black tea. The second cup of tea was a combination of the green tea and the lemonade. All were excellent. It was quite busy at Flower Child a the time. Virtually every table inside was completely filled.

    Food is a bit expensive but it's tasty. I had the beef, potatoes, and macaroni. We came late on the evening and it was pretty empty. I would eat here again. 8/10 Grain Bowls

    First time visiting Flower Child, and I came in excited to try something new from their plant-based menu. My wife ordered one dish while I chose a few different items, including the roasted Brussels sprouts, cauliflower risotto, and the kung pao cauliflower with tofu protein. Everything arrived beautifully presented and full of color, which already set a great first impression. The restaurant itself has a cozy, welcoming vibe with a warm interior that makes you want to slow down and enjoy your meal. Flavor-wise, the food was solid and satisfying, and we genuinely enjoyed having so many vegetable-forward options for lunch. The cauliflower dishes stood out with good texture and seasoning, and nothing felt overly heavy. Prices were reasonable for the quality and ingredients, though the portion sizes were on the smaller side. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and a nice spot for a light, plant-based meal in a relaxed setting for casual daytime dining.

    Clean atmosphere and lots of seating

    Service was fine we can about 20 minutes after it opened and there didn't seem to be many people however they were already out of chicken. I ordered the avocado Cesar which was absolutely fanatic. The avocado didn't have a single brown spot on it you could tell it was very fresh. This location is also fairly nice although I will say it does get fairly loud at times.

    It's been a minute since I've dined to Flower Child and this visit was better than my last. I gravitated to my usual pick your protein and 2 sides option. I ordered the steak with the kung pow cauliflower and chilled sesame noodles. The steak was cooked perfectly. The sesame noodles was really refreshing for this summer weather and the cauliflower had nice Asian flavors with a kick of heat from the jalapeños. I do appreciate how flower child rotates some of their sides and some that remain staples on their menu. But I wish they would add more options for their staple side dishes!

    Peruvian Braised Beef
    Jeff B.

    Always a nice place to get some pretty healthy food. I've ordered several different options from the menu and have never been disappointed. The flavors are incredible and quite filling although it seems like you are eating a lot. This time I ordered the Peruvian Braised Beef. The meat was tender and basically fell apart on your fork. The rice and veggies mixed in the serving added to a great tasting lunch/dinner. The service is nice starting with the cashiers, followed by the quick preparation, on to the server arriving at your table with your order. Flower Child has both indoor and outdoor seating. The furniture is comfortable. Flower Child is clean and laid out well. Although the parking on the street is limited the Blue Garage across the street has plenty of free parking!

    Flower Child is the perfect spot to grab a healthy lunch or dinner while at the Domain! The ingredients are all really fresh and you can customize the dishes with different proteins. FAST FACTS: * Parking - Blue garage right across the street or green garage around the corner * Order at the counter and take your number to your seat * Online ordering - available online with a walk in pick up section at the restaurant * Delivery - available through DoorDash SERVICE - I arrived around 1:00 pm on a Saturday and was able to basically walk right up and order. Food was brought to the table about 10 minutes after ordering. The workers were all very pleasant! PRICING - The total was $36.48 after tax ($2.78) but before tip for a Mother Earth bowl with grilled chicken ($17.75) and a Thai chicken & shrimp meatballs ($15.95). For the portion size and quality of ingredients, I feel like the pricing is reasonable (especially at a "health" focused restaurant). MOTHER EARTH BOWL (8/10) - I loved this! All the ingredients were fresh and the flavors worked really well together. The grilled chicken was cooked perfectly and was juicy. The broccoli pesto and red pepper miso vinaigrette add just the right amount of flavor and moisture to coat all the vegetables. I'd order this again! THAI CHICKEN & SHRIMP MEATBALLS (8/10) - You get 4 good size meatballs smothered in the masala sauce over plain jasmine rice. The rice is on the softer side and the meatballs have a great texture and flavor, although you don't get a lot of the shrimp flavor. The fennel, cucumber, herb and lemon yogurt on the side is super fretting! I'd order this again. This was my first time ever trying Flower Child and I'll definitely be back! I love how you can customize the dishes with different proteins and they offer different types of cuisines including Mediterranean, Mexican, Thai, and more. I'd recommend Flower Child to anyone who wants a healthy fast casual option for lunch or dinner around the Domain.

    Flying Avocado
    Erica B.

    Decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather this weekend and head over to the Domain. Since it was so nice out, everyplace was packed. The line was wrapped outside over to Culinary but it moved quickly. Ordered the flying avocado wrap and a NA beer. They have a great selection of drinks, both alcoholic and non so that's always a plus. The food came out within 5-10 minutes despite them being packed. Wrap was packed full of ingredients, super fresh and delicious. The avocado hummus makes this wrap so tasty. Also, love that the turkey is chopped up versus giant slices so each bite gives you a more balanced overall taste. Snagged a seat outside to people watch and soak in the sunshine. Flower child is always a win in my book.

    Brian C.

    Tasted alright. My favorite thing was the sweet potato fries which seemed baked rather than fried. I expected more food for $20, but I guess it's the domain and healthy food. Steak was pretty bland and the broccoli was too sour for my taste. I still finished the food since it was fine, just not outstanding. The vibe of the restaurant is casual but a bit upscale, and there were lots of rich people around.

    Turkey & Avocado Cobb
    Brandy C.

    I love Flower Child. The Domain location is preferred because there's available parking and I've yet to have any issues at this location within the 5+ years I've been coming in. I've never had any issues finding a table to sit at, regardless of how busy they are. I appreciate the friendliness of their staff and their speed of service (for dine in and takeout). My go-to's are the Turkey Avocado Club, Mother Earth Bowl (add chicken) and the Crushed Avocado Toast. Happy to consider myself a "regular".

    Glow Bowl but not a mushroom in sight
    Dee G.

    I have had many a good meal here, eating here about once a week for a long time now. What drives me nuts is when I get the bowls, and because they are made in "batch," I don't get all the ingredients described in the menu. Specifically the Glow Bowl, I have gotten it 3x now where I received only 2 thin slices of mushroom at most. Making it in batch is not an excuse to leave out ingredients - maybe take mushrooms out of the description. I had asked the manager about this and if I could have mushrooms added and he said no but that he could get me more sunflower dressing ??? Please give what people pay for

    Avacado Hummus
    Devesh S.

    We were looking for a veggie-friendly place in Domain and found this place, liked the way their menu was structured so decided to try it out. Most of the restaurants that have a lot of alcoholic options in Domain are quite busy and the Flower child was less so I guess because they only have 2 Beer options, a Sangria and some wines. Good for us, because this was enough for us. We got Chicken Yakisoba noodles, a grilled Chicken plate, and a Veggie plate. The food was very nice except the grilled chicken was dry and could have more flavor to it.

As I walked up to the easy to find and steps from the PURPLE PARKING GARAGE restaurant, I was already vibing off the patio. Totally giving vacay veranda. The hostess greeted me with a smile, and I dipped into the restrooms before I asked about our table. Of course, I went for a patio table and while I didn't enjoy the occasional fly zipping around, the shaded and breezy tables were perfection on a Sunday afternoon. Our server was Jamie and he was absolutely a DREAM. I was fully prepared for that awkward wait at a table alone when you're lunch date is running late and you have no idea exactly how late... From the moment I was seated alone, Jamie introduced himself, was warm, and fully engaged in manifesting a wonderful experience. He was mindful about sharing just enough with me about the scratch to table mission they have at Doc Bs while saving the good stuff for when both my friend and I were present. My friend ended up going with their special and it was TO DIE FOR!!! I want to say it was Chilean Ahi Tuna Salad? It was some sort of voodoo magic seared onto the Tuna, and they present it like dominoes across the bottom of a giant pile of delightful, chopped salad. I did the Buffalo Chicken Salad, and I ate every crunchy blue cheese tickled bite! Waiting on a friend too? My safe go-to order was the Guacamole! They bring it out with the Sweet Potato Chips - HOUSE MADE and Jamie gave me Tortilla chips too in case my friend preferred something different. They have fans on the patio, so it's not too hot. I'd complain they didn't have the wine I wanted, but when they didn't have my first request, not only did they bring me my 2nd request, but the gentleman from behind the bar walked over a taste of a comparable wine to the one I had originally chosen and I absolutely appreciate that extra effort to make sure I felt valued and seen. Way to go, Doc Bs! **Note: When a fly decided to take a dive and a swim relay in my glass of wine, they didn't bat a lash and replaced the glass for me and seamlessly disposed of Fly Guy in all his drunken Memorial Day glory!

You'll certainly pay for it, but at least you're getting high-quality food and drinks.

The guacamole with sweet potato chips is also superlative, and reasonably substantial in terms of portion size and satiation. For the best value, definitely hit up the lunch menu, where you can get a "wok out" bowl with tofu; a highly competent vegan option.

Tucked into a great area but slightly hidden (the kind of spot you feel proud to "discover"), Vida Verde feels like a restaurant that exists for people who actually want to eat, not just post. The menu is a thoughtful fusion of Tex-Mex, fresh flavors, and Americana--familiar enough to be comforting, but creative enough to keep things interesting. Yes, it's a bit overpriced, but the food earns its confidence. The guacamole is an absolute must, and anything leaning Tex-Mex is consistently solid. I can vouch. The wait staff deserves real credit here--knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in the food and experience, which goes a long way these days. The atmosphere hits that Austin sweet spot: industrial touches softened by lush green foliage. It's stylish without trying too hard, which is rare and appreciated. If I had one note? This place needs a happy hour and a few more solid specials. Do that, and Vida Verde becomes dangerous--in the best way. Overall: a unique, thoughtful restaurant that avoids the hype trap and delivers where it matters. Definitely worth your time (and thankfully, not hours of it).

    So we came today for Mother's Day lunch. My husband called a few weeks ago to make the reservation…read moreand because of the size they said we would get a private room. This "private room" is just the back part of the restaurant and it is not private. Then they had a 2 man Karaoke duo singing the whole entire time right next to us! It was unbearable, so loud, not even good karaoke! We could not talk at all, we came to spend time with our family. These things should have been explained before we booked! The food came an hour later and hour and half for the rest of the table, so half of our table was done eating and waiting. They didn't even bring out the kids first, so then kids were starving. The quality of the food is good, but they really need to plan better. Would never bring a large group here. It's fine for a small table.
