I LOVE IT HERE!! Such a cool, calm decor. Natural and clean. The hostess greeted us warmly and seated us right away. The vanilla cardamom soda is IT as is the Blueberry Coconut soda. I've been here twice. On the first visit Mom and I both had the AMAZING Apple-cheddar Chop with pork tenderloin. The second visit we both had the Nutty Pear-fessor salad (no added animal protein). The service here is marvelous and the ambience is so calming. This place is fantastic and I will absolutely be back here the next time we visit Austin. read more

Cute spot. Food: Duck tacos - delicious Biscuits with butter and jam - good; biscuits could've been more moist Mac and cheese - too liquidy and bland Steak and eggs - decent Reuben - a bit bland read more

Best salad selection in Austin. Cool waitress, and nice outdoor patio with big oak to sit at. Also great for healthy delicious inventive takeout lunch. Higher tier than sweetgreen but "you get what you pay for" holds here (not that it's fine dining either, still feels justifiable to pay for a to go lunch). Every salad has been great and their tuna melt is divine read more

Best salads in town. Great location and amazing place. Good cocktails and wine. Seating both inside and outside. I love the Greek salad and the grilled romaine Cesar. Also good soups and sandwiches. Almost every time I visit I order one salad to eat at the restaurant and one completely different salad to bring home read more

I did say I would be back and here I am again. Started with the mushroom stew and the phase OMG comes to mind. Loaded with several types of mushrooms and very flavorful. I then had the kale fritters, again just incredible. Yes I ordered the same salad. I swear, I could eat this almost every day Ambiance is a 10 Service is for sure a 10 and if you go, ask for Heater (aka Dino) The food, I would give it a 10+ Great job and please keep it up. read more

I had no idea this quaint, ADORABLE, healthy restaurant existed just a stones throw from South Congress! I always get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the main drag on South Congress but this place is a perfect getaway with so many healthy options. If you're ready for a yummy drink and food that does not stick to your bones, Vinaigrette is the perfect spot! My table's order: - Moscow Mule - Admittedly felt like mostly ice compared to beverage but very refreshing none-the-less. - The Beet Goes On (Salad) - I am obsessed with beet salads and this one really hit the spot! A great size and perfect mix of sweet and tangy. - Black Bean & Kale Nachos - Such a wonderful mix of flavors and a spin on nachos that doesn't feel greasy and heavy. - Erin's Mac & Cheese - Delightfully creamy and dreamy, it felt so tragic when the bowl was empty! Comes with a nice addition of fresh veggies. The prices are a little high (remind me of California) but that is what the market is shifting to in this part of town. This little restaurant will not disappoint! read more

The salads were pretty much what I could make at home. The meat portions are super small as well. Pretty expensive salad and not that impressed. It's a healthy option, but I don't know if I'd go back read more

This is a favorite lunch restaurant of mine in Austin! The vibe is fantastic and the food is even better. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a lunch on the patio while catching up with friends or reading a book if solo. The food always comes out fresh and quickly. read more

If you're a salad person, this place is for you. Came here on a Saturday night and it wasn't too crowded - we got seated immediately. We both ordered the special that night, a duck confit salad with a duck fat-based vinaigrette. It was delicious! I also had a cup of their hot mulled wine with a shot of bourbon. The service was prompt and friendly, and our server was knowledgeable about their menu and able to make excellent recommendations. read more

Great, friendly, staff. Their salads were pretty large (portion size). We got The Nutty Pear-fessor. We added the diver scallops. I liked this a lot! Gumbo - was hoping for a spicier kick or richer flavor. Kale Fritters - Tasty. Ginger Tumeric Tonic - it was ok. read more

I'm giving this place 3 stars because the salad was extremely underwhelming. The caesar really came out with 5 large pieces of lettuce and some cheese shredded on top. very confusing. These salad places need to be stopped read more

Firstly, such a cute spot with plenty of parking reserved for the restaurant. Has outdoor and indoor seating - really big space. Can't believe I hadn't been here before. We started with the cheesy zucchini dip which I really enjoyed. My friends got the La Pepita salad which they liked a lot and I got the Cuban torta with the Omega salad. Portions are moreee than enough and everything really tasty. Definitely going to be coming back here to try some of the other items on the menu. read more

I've been going here for a while and it's still one of my favorite places to get a salad. The patio is just gorgeous and is centered around a large oak tree.

I've been here plenty of times and have been remiss in. It leaving a review until now. The salads are flavorful, varied, and hearty. Love trying out the seasonal offerings. Had the corn appetizer and the peach, prosciutto, and burrata salad off of the seasonal menu--both were hits. Also, the mocktails/virgin drinks are great and love trying new ones each time. Today I did the Earth Bite. Service always includes good vibes. Outdoor seating is great when we get classically great Austin weather. I will say that a few months ago in early spring when it was a bit cool and we sat inside near the door, it was a tad uncomfortable, but that's really been the only instance. Definitely plan to keep coming back. Brought my coworkers here a few months ago and now they are introducing oth read more

Excellent place for lunch! They have a huge variety of salads (probably the most I've seen on any restaurant menu) that you can add pork, steak, chicken, or salmon to. Portions are big so you might have some to take home. They also have a big list of non alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. I got the kale fritters to start and the nutty pear-fessor with chicken. Tons of outside seating with a private patio and garden area. They also have a huge beautiful tree outside that makes the atmosphere extra special. Outside tables are spread out so it's not noisy out there either. Highly recommend if you are looking for something healthy and delicious. read more

I LOVE this place. It's like Sweetgreen but waaaaay better and more of a nice sit down experience. I love that they have arsty juices as well as adult beverages! Typically, when I go to a salad place, I always make my own salad because none of the options sound great. At Vinaigrette, I had the opposite problem. I had such a hard time choosing my salad because ALL of the menu items looked so good. This is the perfect healthy lunch spot. Can't wait to be back. read more

The hours posted online aren't correct. I went to the restaurant on Sunday at 2pm and there was a sign taped to the door "we are closed at 1pm for a private event." Call before you go, because if you don't, they may not be open to the public when you arrive. read more

This is my go-to place for salads in Austin! There is plenty of seating and it has a nice vibe. The waitstaff is also usually friendly and accommodating. My only complaint is that it's a bit pricey. I'd recommend this as a place to go if you are visiting or live in Austin and enjoy eating healthy. read more

My mom was craving a soup - salad - sandwich moment and I came across Vinaigrette. Let me tell you, I WILL be coming back soon. First of all this place is super cute!! The lighting, the vibes, the retro modern style is super cute and classy. THEIR PATIO!! wow it's so pretty too. I always choose patio seating but because it was too cold i chose to sit inside. There was a lot of parking which i was surprised by since it by South Congress area. The food was speedy and the staff was really nice and polite. We tried their mac and cheese, gumbo soup, caesar salad and harvest sandwich. Everything was phenomenal my favorite was the harvest sandwich. I added some turkey and it was so good. But their mac and cheese was so creamy and light and also their gumbo. Got their lemonade and the Hibiscus tea was also super yum. read more

Great spot! Come for the tree, stay for the salad! Visiting from out of town and found this place. Nice option away from some of the more comfort food offerings. read more

I adored their gumbo! The mocktail the server recommended was also delicious. Great service, very chill, airy ambiance. Highly recommend for first date, company meet up or whatever! read more

Such a gorgeous place with a huge tree in the middle of the outdoor seating area! The salads were delicious, I had the beet salad with artichoke and I'm still dreaming about it. Oftentimes with beet salads, I feel that the amount of goat cheese added can be overwhelming or that the dressing drowns out the natural goodness and sweetness of the beets, but the salad at Vinaigrette had the perfect amount of everything and was well balanced. I enjoyed every bite. The artichoke was so tender, delicious...I did not miss meat at all. My one complaint is that it was so expensive! I think $25 for my salad because I added the artichoke. Unfortunately due to the price, I won't be coming often...but I'll never forget that salad despite not being a salad girly! read more

We recently spent a little over a week in the area while some work was being done on our house. After having dinner and splitting the most amazing Cobb Salad with seared tuna steak in it, we came back the following evening to have the same thing with seared scallops this time. The mix of veggies and dressing was just perfect. The salad was huge and they were glad to split it into two bowls for us. It was definitely one of the best salads we've ever eaten. The restaurant is casual and comfortable. Service is excellent and we'll definitely be back again. Well worth a visit! read more

This restaurant has a fantastic menu especially if you are interested in salads or plant-based options. Of course, you can always add protein but it's nice to see so much creativity with salad options. They have a fantastic outdoor seating area with gorgeous trees too! All juices are squeezed in house and truly delightful. read more

I love Vinaigrette and love salads. We sat on the patio because who doesn't love patios in Austin! We went right as it opened and it was not very busy. I got the Nutty Pear-fessor but instead of blue cheese I did the goat cheese and no bacon crumbles. The ginger tonic was refreshing and definitely taste the ginger. Everyone is still wearing masks and staff was friendly. read more

Honestly, this is one of the few places where a $20 salad is worth it. Atmosphere 9/10, service 9.5/10, food - so fresh, perfectly balanced and delicious 9/10 I had the roasted beets salad and I added roasted chicken, it was fantastic and a large portion. I got the ginger turmeric tonic to drink and it was so tasty and refreshing, I'd definitely drink that again. read more

Vinaigrette - The Beet Goes On (foreground) and Ginger Turmeric Tonic, The Omega with shrimp and the Kale Apple Spritz in the background - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

Horrible service and poorly kept restaurant based on the following: 1. Got seated and table had a dead mosquito right in the middle with crumbs all over the side of the table where condiments were placed. 2. Menus were dirty and sticky to the point that I found myself trying to minimize touching it (and I'm not grossed out easily). 3. My wife noticed a roach walking on the floor under the table behind me. 4. A server never came by during the 15 minutes we sat there experiencing the previous 3 items above. (The silver lining here is that it made walking out before ordering anything.) If I had experienced any single item above, I would have easily disregarded it as a one-off, but to go through all that in one sitting is simply unacceptable. read more

This place is so magical and a gem in Austin. The food is delicious and the staff super friendly. Highly recommend the Ruben w turkey

Vinaigrette is one of my favorites in Austin.. I would like to say I've tried all their offerings however I keep coming back for the apple Cheddar chop salad..

Austin's hottest restaurant is vinaigrette (it's been around for a long time lol) I came here not expecting much, just a good salad, but I was truly blown away when I entered this fine establishment. I mean really, I was ebullient at the sight of the mid century modern light pendants and the lavish green tile. I ordered the Cuban torta, sadly only a side Caesar salad, but this sandwich was downright dangerous!! If I had one more bite the staff would've had to roll me out of there! My brother ordered the Mexican medio litro coke, which I had the honor of sipping from, and when I tell you that it tied the whole meal if not restaurant together, it did just that. No dessert for us sadly, but we did have an amazing time with the amazing staff! We had reservations for 5:30, but it was not needed as there were only 2 tables booked! Feel free to come in at any time of the day, I'm sure you will be able to enjoy this amazing gem located just off of south Congress! I have told every single person I have come across in the last month about this place, that's how good vinaigrette is. read more

The food was excellent, ambiance excellent, and staff was excellent. Plus because it's dog friendly on the back patio!

As I try to type this, my mouth is watering! Vinaigrette was recommended to me by multiple friends, and once I walked through the gorgeous glass doors I saw what all the buzz was about! Not only was the decor extremely ahead of its time with the elegant green tile and sheik lighting, but the food was out of this world! This humble salad and sandwich establishment knocked my socks off with the apple cheddar chop salad! I had already read reviews of this specific salad, and I can confidently say it was definitely the best salad I've ever consumed. The portion of pork was very generous, the green apples gave such a nice and sweet crunch, and the sharp white cheddar tied the whole thing together! I highly recommend this salad, but I hear all of their sandwiches are delicious as well! I'm so excited to come back, and the ebullient servers made it all worthwhile! Thank you vinaigrette for the best dinner ever! read more

While travelling in Austin, I have thoroughly enjoyed the TexMex and southern cuisine - but my body was definitely craving some healthier fare. Thankfully, friends who had dined at Vinaigrette in Santa Fe had highly recommended we dine here if we needed some salad. I am such a fan of the outdoor and indoor atmosphere here! The interior seems like a great place to spend some time away from the heat enjoying some healthy bowls, while the outdoor space is magical underneath the massive tree. I tried to spend as much time as possible outdoors, even on this day when it was raining slightly, but the tree does provide a good amount of cover. The food was amazing, and just what we needed! The variety of salad options was inspiring, and I realized that I can seriously up my salad game back home! However, the service was very slow, despite us being one of the only tables dining with many staff. It took over 20 minutes to even receive water, but we were on vacation and not in a rush so we were not bothered by that. There is ample parking behind the restaurant, which made our experience at Vinaigrette much easier than some other more popular restaurant areas. read more
