We are coming in from San Antonio and had a whole weekend planned out starting with this place…read more First, due to heavy traffic we were 30 mins behind schedule, we called and they made sure that our reservation will still stand. The staff was extremely sweet and friendly! We came in super hungry and we ordered the candied bacon, angry meatball and wings for starters. Everything was very tasty! We also ordered the chicken kebabs which chicken was very tender (although the entire meal needed a bit more salt) we also got the friend chicken and this chicken was just soooo juicy! And for my kid, a plain burger, meant bad bun only.. unfortunately it came with cheese and we politely reminded them it should have been plain and dry.. the manager immediately took action and soon a new burger appeared.. he was gracious enough to take care of the burger himself as well, which was definitely not expected by 100% appreciated! Overall will definitely be back next time we are in town!

Should you make a reservation before you go? perhaps. Did we need the one we made for this past…read moreSunday on Memorial Day weekend? Not when we went right at 11a. 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! Jamie is a treasure. That kid is going places, very impressive spirit.

What went well? EVERYTHING. TL;DR, come here…read more The pleasant young lady who took my last-minute reservation over the phone was quite helpful. Our server, Sarah, was the absolute best. Warm, engaging, knowledgeable. She thoughtfully considered my preferences and offered a few irresistible options, She got the chef to weigh-in on a drink pairing I was debating. I chose from the daily specials menu: Veracruz snapper and a sauvignon blanc. Finished with the most luxurious chocolate torte and an espresso for dessert. It was a flawless meal. What a perfectly delightful hour and a half spent with my daughter in a gorgeous space, with beautiful food, and sunset-over-the-water views. At the end of a busy day, where do you wanna go for dinner? Roaring Fork is the right answer.

The service is consistently attentive and welcoming, making the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable. The food quality never disappoints. I always order the Rainbow Trout--it's absolutely delicious every time, perfectly prepared and full of flavor. It's become my go-to dish for a reason. And I can't forget the cocktails. Their Paper Plane is my personal favorite, and they also make a fantastic Old Fashioned. Both are well-balanced and crafted with care, which really elevates the dining experience. Overall, Roaring Fork continues to deliver on both food and service, making it a reliable spot for any occasion.

I came here with some of my coworkers and we had a great experience!…read more We started with a few appetizers to share: Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Crispy Rice with Tuna, wings and Whipped Feta & Tahini Dip. Everything was really good and packed with flavor. For drinks I ordered a white sangria that was ok and a strawberry lemonade that was really good!! For the main plate, most of us ordered the Steak Frites, and it was so good. The food came out pretty fast, which was a nice bonus, especially for a large party. The service was great throughout our visit, and everyone was friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere and is a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends or coworkers. We parked close by in one the garages and walked to the restaurant. Overall, we really enjoyed everything we tried and would definitely come back!

The experience and food were so good I came here two nights in a row…read more Service was fantastic. The servers seem happy to be there. The vibe was great the first night but our table on the second night around many families and kids which made the experience less top tier.

I got beans with rice and the veggie of the day, also got a shiner bock beer for 5 bucks. total with tip was ~33 i think i gave 5bucks tip the fish gumbo was really good. i also really like the beans with rice. it has a slightly different flavor profile but also very good. i think this place is a hidden gem.... good portions, decent price, and easy parking, had to figure out another P for a triple P. i think this was better than when I got rip off on bourbon street, yrs back. that was straight up super expensive double charge the tourist stuff...

This was my first time here and Y'all, everything was great! The service, food and vibe all hit tha…read morespot! I did make a resy for 3 at 6:30p on a Thursday. Because they do get busy. Our server was training a new server and they did such a great job together. Attentive ,friendly, and knowledgeable. She recommended a Cabernet and it was so good! We started with the pita crab dip and I really liked it. Not fishy at all. Great mushroom and crab flavor. I was happy to learn that you can order side versions of the salads with your dinner. So I had the side house salad and it was absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed the honey dressing. I also ordered the metal Dinner. The the flavor was good but I don't think I will order it again. I like traditional metal and this was not it. The meatloaf was molded and looked like it came out of a TV dinner. Just my opinion. I did ask for ketchup because it comes with a verde. Again, good flavor just not traditional. Anywho, them we got to dessert! The server brought out a complimentary bread pudding dessert since we were celebrating birthdays. That bread pudding and ice cream was the star!!! Delicious!!! All that to say, I'm glad I tried Haywire! We had a great experience and will be back to try more from the menu.

Came for a birthday dinner. Got 5 star treatment from our amazing server Whitney! Ask for Whitney…read morewhen you go. She's top notch. Walking in is a wonderful experience. The chandeliers on the first floor set the tone. We dined upstairs. It's much darker tones still elegant also. Haywire was great in accommodations for dietary restrictions, thank you! So we had the chicken, ribeye and chicken fried steak. The chicken was so moist and wonderfully seasoned and cooked. The fries were not too hard or too greasy, just right. The chicken fried steak was thick and tender. It had breading but the breading did not take over the entree. The mashed potatoes so nice and fluffy. The ribeye was perfectly cooked at medium rare and the asparagus was the perfect size. Our table was brought a wonderful croissant bread pudding! A treat for the taste buds! Again, I cannot say enough for Whitney. The ONLY complaint I have is there no sound buffering items on the walls or rugs. We truly had a hard time hearing each other and fully enjoy the birthday. Several times Whitney had to repeat herself, because it was so loud. She was very kind about it. If dining upstairs I would not recommend for a romantic date night. It was disappointing not being able to really have a family talk, we were only a table of 4. Other than that, it was great.

Still 5 stars! Started out with the goat cheese spread and the fried pickles. Both so delicious…read more Love promoting small businesses that have high quality ingredients. For our mains we had the BLT, Aloha burger of the month and Patty Melt. All 3 massive and delicious! The BLT was stacked with a bunch of bacon. The tomatoes were wonderfully red vine fresh. The goat cheese spread made a delicious dance of the taste buds. The patty melt was nice and thin. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. The burger of the month was the Aloha burger. It was the smash burger with pineapple and spam. Unusual but tasty. The sweet potato fries, steak fries and tater tots cooked perfectly as well. Service was amazing! Our waitress was so kind and none of our glasses were ever empty. It is a very casual place and when we were leaving it did get a tad loud, only because of a table of 22 that came inside.

Vida Verde Kitchen -- A Hidden Gem That's Worth Finding…read more Austin is overflowing with trendy restaurants where the food is decent, the lighting is aggressive, and the wait time requires a light snack and a personality shift. I tend to avoid those places. Vida Verde Kitchen, thankfully, is not that. 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).

I came here for a dinner during a work conference, and overall it was pretty good!…read more A new spot just over a year old, I thought the modern and green decor really brought a lot of life to the place. We were seated in the back and were given a chance to order drinks immediately. Sadly, the service after that point was unusually slow for our table. The rest of the people around us were getting served appetizers and their meals before our waitress even came back to take our order. The prices are a little higher than the best Mexican spots in Austin, so I'm glad that I wasn't paying for this meal. Once we were given a chance to order, I grabbed their Quesabirria tacos with rice and beans. The tacos were great. Super crispy and the meat was flavorful. The consomé was excellent to dip the tacos in. The beans were pretty good and the rice was decent Mexican rice, though not exceptional. I would maybe give it another chance if I was nearby, but after having to wait so long to order, I'm a little deterred from coming back, even if I thought the food was pretty good. RIYL: a well-decorated and modern Mexican restaurant

I wasn't planning on walking all over the Domain in heels so when I finally got to Nordstrom, I was grinding my teeth. I dropped in to Bazille around 3 pm for a cocktail and a break.

I am still dreaming of that bruschetta and can't wait to go back, without the heels!

Halibut & Chips batter (fish & chips) was undercooked but the fish was flaky and cooked well. Not crazy about their version of tartar sauce either.

They are revamping the menu soon. Wild salmon with couscous was good tho a bit on the well done side. Server/ service was perfect!
