Restaurants near Ritz Austin Texas

Overall, it was a nice experience but had a few flaws for such a experience place. The good: The Mezcal Selection was top tier. The Agave Specialists added a lot to the experience. Highly recommend trying a few flights of Mezcal (and let them choose!) The food was overall quite good. The Bone Marrow Tacos, while spendy, are quite delicious. And, the Hostesses are among the nicest I've come across in a fine dining experience. The Not Great: Service from our main server started off ok but really fell off after a few courses. It was a very weird, obvious change in his demeanor. We only ordered one cocktail, the Oaxacan Margarita. It was NOT good. I think we were still charged for them too (after dropping at least $130 on Mezcals.) The Lamb Barbacoa was way too salty and it was difficult to eat. Also, the timing of our dishes was really off. We sat for a good 45 minutes in between a few courses. And, it was my husband's birthday and no candle in the dessert? Idk, it would have been a nice touch of hospitality.

Very friendly staff right through the door. Onion soup was ok, but the Texas Wagyu New York strip was phenomenal. Spendy, but is was cooked perfectly, had a great crust, and was a melt-in-your-mouth flavor explosion. The Japanese A5 Wagyu has too much fat in my opinion, but this Angus/Wagyu hybrid was perfect. Neat menu, but I didn’t have enough stomachs to try everything that I wanted.

Just had a dinner for one at J-prime and it was delicious! I started with the carpaccio and shrimp cocktail, both well dressed and yummy. I finished with a caeser and my amazing server Anastacia was able to add white anchovies on the side along with a lobster bisque. I tried a Love Letter mocktail that was tangy and sweet. No room for dessert this time but I'll be back! Thanks for great service, food and general atmosphere!
