- MMihirAustin •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoEverything we ordered was excellent! Few more vegetarian options without fish sauce would make this a killer destination! Our favorites were the steamed rice rolls and the fried rice.. Beignets with Homemade Jam was a super hit!More infoElizabeth St CafePrice: Moderate• Asian• Bouldin Creek•4.8

- LLaurenVIPNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoOne of my favorite restaurants in Austin! Lived here for years and whenever I come back it is top of my list. Their vegetable nigiri is so unique and delicious- as a fish lover, veggie sushi doesn’t usually move the needle for me, but the corn and shishito nigiri here are a must. The food is simple, fresh, and so delicious. And the cocktails are so refreshing and tasty!More infoNeighborhood SushiPrice: Expensive• Sushi• South Austin•4.8
- RRahulAustin •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoI recently had the pleasure of visiting Edge Rooftop Bar, and it was an incredible experience! The views from the rooftop are absolutely stunning, offering a perfect backdrop for a relaxing evening. The ambiance is modern and inviting, making it an ideal spot for both casual outings and special occasions. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring we felt welcome throughout our visit. The drinks were expertly crafted, and the menu had a great selection of options to suit all tastes. The food was equally impressive – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I highly recommend Edge Rooftop Bar to anyone looking for a memorable rooftop experience. I’ll definitely be returning soon!More infoEdge Rooftop BarPrice: Moderate• Bar / Lounge / Bottle Service• Downtown•4.5
- AAndresAustin •2 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoMy girlfriend and I made a last-minute decision to visit Perla's, and we're pleasantly satisfied with just about everything. We ordered 3 appetizers: Octopus, crab cake, and tuna tostada. All of them are excellent in different ways. Individually: - Crab : great brightness from the (celery?) And green apple salad to compliment the fresh brightness and creamy sweet aroma of the crunchy cake. By far my favorite. - Octopus: the sauce it's served over has a nice subtle dimension without overpowering the octopus. Nice smoky spicy profile. - The tuna tostada is what you expect from a Tuna Tostada. Nothing special, but you get exactly what you pay for. The tostada integrity and texture and crunch was phenomenal. The tuna itself was of fantastic quality and generous portion. Wouldve preferred some sort of spicy ponzu instead of the typical habanero aioli. Seems played out, but maybe that's just my preference. Then, we finished with the lobster bucatini. Now, this was value! Super rich and creamy and filling. The lobster was stupendous. Only gripe is there was one claw that I couldn't pry open. Sadly, that was tossed out. Dining room was clean and beautiful but quite tame. Service was fast and intelligent. We had dinner in about 60 minutes and left full and extremely satisfied. Overall. Dishes were pretty and tasty. Everything was great. Will visit again Didn't get my servers name, but that man was obviously a seasoned server as he read the room perfectly and approached exactly at the right time and for the right amount of engagement. 5/5More infoPerla's Seafood and Oyster BarPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Downtown•4.8
