Great salad spot! Came here on a Sunday around 6pm for dinner with a group of 4 and got seated…read moreright away. It wasn't too busy but most of the outdoor tables were taken, although there was plenty of indoor seating available when we visited. We went family style on a bunch of sides including Erin's Mac & Cheese, Korean-Style Chicken Wings, and Kale Fritters. All pretty good. I ordered the Tuna Salad Salad for myself which was good. There were so many to choose from it was difficult to decide. Will definitely be back to try some of the other options!

This was my first time visiting Vinaigrette in Austin, and I went on a weeknight with my sister. I…read moredidn't realize just how many salads they offer, but I really appreciated that tofu is available as a protein option. What especially caught my attention--perfect for a cool winter evening in Texas--was their mushroom stew with a vegan miso base. We ordered cups of the vegan mushroom stew to start, along with one of the seasonal specials, the yam string fries, and a shared plate of grilled tofu. The mushroom stew was very umami-forward, filled with miso broth and a variety of mushrooms. While it was comforting, it felt like it needed a bit more seasoning--either spice or salt--to really elevate it. I was also expecting something thicker or creamier since it was labeled a "stew," but the base was quite runny and brothy with steamed mushrooms. The grilled tofu was decent, with a nice color on the outside, though it was soft and could have used more flavor. The yam string fries were almost comically thin--extremely shoestring. Dipping them into sauce was a challenge because they were so tiny, but it was still fun to eat them while chatting. What really stood out was the atmosphere. The dining area is comfy and cozy, and the colorful wall décor adds a lot of character. It's a welcoming, relaxed space right on Congress. Overall, Vinaigrette is a cozy Austin spot with casual yet slightly upscale vibes, offering healthy salad, soup, and sandwich options. If that's what you're looking for, it's definitely worth a visit.

When you walk in, grab a menu or view the menu on the wall. Once decided, order at the counter with the friendly staff, grab your number and take a seat. They'll bring your food out to you, but don't forget to put your dishes back when you are done. Portions are huge and they have great drinks. I had the lemonade and the avocado and quinoa salad. So satisfying when looking for a big salad. In addition to salads, they have sandwiches and soup, which looked great ask well. I'll be back to try the rest.

I am absolutely addicted to the lemon farro chicken soup. It's so good. These days I mostly take the food to go and take it home. The ordering process on their website works great, the orders are always ready on time and well prepared. The restaurant dining space is clean and beautiful if you want to dine in. The staff always have a smile on their face, and are glad to see you. They really make the location shine with their good energy. I wish we had more options like Mendocino in our neighborhood. They are a gem.

I was visiting my son in Austin, Texas and he loves his place, we just came in for lunch and then I was going to the airport. He had his wisdom teeth pulled. He thought this would be the perfect place before I go to the airport. We met the most wonderful ladies who were so kind and helpful to give us suggestions for lunch. He got the grilled cheese, and soup combination and I got the chicken sandwich with crunchy chips and a side of potato salad. That was absolutely delicious. The sandwich is so big I brought half on the plane, it was on top of a pretzel roll that had great flavor to it.. I definitely will go back the next time I visit in Austin, Texas I love healthy food and next time I'm gonna get one of their salads that I walked by and that looked absolutely incredible. What a great place to go in very charming and eclectic on the inside..

I can't wait to try more delicious items from their menu!

Oh my sweet, sweet Sweetgreen…read more I've always loved their salads and have recently become obsessed with their wraps. Their caesar salad wrap to be specific. Everytime I order from a Sweetgreen the veggies are fresh and the portion size vs. the price is fair. I can usually get two meals out of one order. I want to give major kudos to this location specifically because I accidentally left my wallet while visiting on a Saturday afternoon. After not being able to find my wallet thinking it was in my house somewhere I decided to stop by the Union Market Sweetgreen location to check on Monday. After about 5 minutes of waiting the manager came over to bring me my wallet. Yay! All of my belongings were still in it. I'm grateful for them holding onto my items. I look forward to visiting this location more often especially because they have a lot of seating. And side note, be sure to download their apps. It's super easy to earn rewards if you go there often. Enjoy!

Their hours are a little earlier than most places and most Sweetgreens for some reason. I ordered online and customized a nice salad. I had to pick a bug out of it, but honestly I'm not enraged; I'd like to have those removed during the cleaning process but a small fly hiding in some greenery is a natural thing and these are quality fresh plants. While it is mostly a takeout, the people working there were on point with service, even holding the door open for me.

I put in a to-go order for a kibbeh wrap; the price seemed typically high for the area, but when I got my order its quite a sizable wrap so all-in-all a pretty good deal! The food did take about 20 minutes to come out- I wasn't going to complain as there was a line of people the whole time so I could tell it was busy, but when I did get my food they apologized for the wait and gave me some free baklava so even if there had been hard feelings that would have 100% fixed it lol I'm a huge baklava fan and had actually been considering adding some onto my order but didn't because of the long line! So service was great, but most importantly- the food! The kibbe wrap was huge; I managed to finish the whole thing but in two different sittings lol. The kibbe was generous, and the pieces were flavorful and juicy. The veggies were fresh and crisp, and the whole thing was lightly sauced but the flavor of the kibbe popped enough that I didn't think it needed more sauce. Delicious and I would 100% order again. Plus the (free!) baklava was top notch! Sometimes you get the ones where the filo dough is a little tough/chewy and it still tastes great but the texture isn't there- not with this baklava! It was tender, delicious, and a perfect end to the meal. Parking was limited on the street but I believe the Triangle has garages also- I was able to snag a short term parking spot for MezzeMe which is actually why I originally decided to check it out!

We didn't see a server for about 15 minutes and only a few people were in the restaurant. It was Noon on Friday... Hmmmm... BUT!!!!... once our pretty server got to us she was great. I was excited about the redfish sandwich, but for $22 it was very bland with hardly any seasonings or flavor. When you have to add salt and pepper that's not good. My friend had the scampi and that was better. That sourdough was awesome but it didn't need the butter spread.. because you could just sop up the scampi butter. I think over time this restaurant will do better.
