Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in West Austin / Westlake

Went here for my birthday celebration and it was absolutely amazing! One of the prettiest restaurants i’ve ever been to and the surprised us with a birthday dessert! Great service and the food was amazing! It was loud when we went because they had a dj so beware if that’s not your thing.

We stopped in late night on Valentine’s for small bites and drinks after having attended a comedic play at the Dougherty. First time experience and truly an “experience”. It’s almost like we walked into the “second act” of the play; high energy, great people watching and people engagement. Christin, Drew, Sabine, Jake and everyone there were a blast. Food and drinks were spot on. Great environment.

We had an amazing experience. Our Server recognized us from the night before and he went out of his way to prove that Laurel dropped the ball the night before. We were treated like royalty and we didn't even ask for it. We were visited by an Executive and he apologized, as well, for the night before. There are a lot of places near the hotel to eat. I am glad that we didn't allow our Valentine's Dinner experience to stop us from an outstanding Breakfast experience!!!

Fantastic Galentine's Girls' Night at Salty Sow! My friends and I had a wonderful evening at Salty Sow! From start to finish, everything was spot on—the food, the ambiance, and the service. We kicked things off with the deviled eggs, which were creamy, flavorful, and the perfect bite to start the meal. The BBQ brisket croquettes were a standout—crispy on the outside, tender and smoky on the inside, with just the right balance of richness. For dessert, we couldn't resist the bananas foster, and it did not disappoint! The caramelized bananas and creamy ice cream made for the perfect sweet ending. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a fun and relaxed girls' night out. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!

The service was friendly, attentive and helpful. Food was creative and delicious. Only complaint was our table. Circular booth directly to the right when entering the dining area. We sat very close to one another on one edge of the semicircle. If we sat in the middle of the table we were staring directly at the couple next to us. Very uncomfortable. If you sat one on each end of the semicircle you were too far apart to have a conversation. Would definitely request a different table next time.
