• Contemporary American • Downtown
Booked 3 times today
Nightcap was originally conceived as a place for sweet sustenance and sparkling cocktails. Since then, we have evolved into so much more. Our space is now known as a late night, date night spot for guests and friends alike. The cozy atmosphere is welcoming, romantic and is also a great place to dine solo. It’s a space to make new friends, enjoy some incredibly tasteful food and cocktails that aim to please. Nightcap carries an old school Austin vibe that is hard to be classified as a bar or restaurant. We like to consider ourselves as a nightly dinner party at your friends house. The idea is to come over, have a great time and let us clean up afterwards. On special occasions, glitter is our favorite color that is often paired with bubbles. We hope you join us for any occasion and truly enjoy your evening.

All dishes, sauces, naans and desserts are made in house from scratch. We are proud to be the first restaurant in Austin with a dedicated Nepalese menu. Nepal is a land of many flavors, while many of its dishes are indigenous and indicative of its culture and people, while few are inspired by its immediate neighbors, India and China. Our Nepalese menu is a thoughtful mix of both.

    Superb food, and great service. I took a group here on Christmas Eve, and we loved everything. Our server, Alec, was helpful and properly attentive. We shared the deviled eggs, which everyone agreed were the best they've had. Many enjoyed the Wagyu Cheeseburger, while others had the Crisply Chicken Thighs and Slow-Cooked Beef Shoulder. It was all superb, and the Bearnaise sauce with the fries was brilliant. Highly recommended!

    Our waiter, Jonathan, was attentive. Service was excellent; almost over-the-top. Ahi Tuna Bruschetta was excellent. Squash bisque was superb. Salmon was moist and perfectly prepared per our request. Parking is easy to find and close by. Although the restaurant is affiliated with the Marriott Hotel, it stands alone for excellence. We will eat there again on our next trip to Austin.
