- CCindyVIPAustin •76 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOur new fave! Beautiful space, with an amazing bar front and center. I love how the kitchen is open so we can see the magic happening. Our server was so friendly and knowledgeable about the food and drinks. Food was delicious and chef came over to our table (we were sitting next to the kitchen) and brought us a dessert he heard one of us talking about but wasn't sure to get...so nice and thoughtful...we'll be coming back for sureMore infoThe Kitchen American Bistro - AustinPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.6
- BBethanyAustin •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoCame for an early dinner, post Valentine’s Day. The food was delicious! Service was attentive and all the staff we encountered were very kind. My finance ordered the pork tenderloin which was delicious, however it seemed the portion was a bit small. My pork chop was delicious and portioned well. The valet parking is listed as $10 on here, however it is $20, which is a little deceiving. Overall we had a good experience and would come back!More infoRoaring Fork - Downtown, CongressPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.6
