   I absolutely love Hestia. Innovative food, great service, and overall good quality. The music though! 🤮 It’s loud, obnoxious, and no cohesion. Thank god I had head phones or would have really suffered. I don’t normally write reviews but this is a selfish one cus I dine here often and I’m Hoping someone there will read this.

   This was our first time eating at Hestia and we were dining with friends for a belated birthday celebration. Our servers, Tory and Albert were awesome as were all the other service staff we encountered. Drinks and food was amazing especially the halibut and sauce!

   Lacks the attention to detail, elegance, and “wow” factor that should be the case in a Michelin starred restaurant. Food was good, but not excellent (with the exception of the sweet potato dish, which was delicious and creative)… did not merit the high price point. There are better places in Austin for great food and service, ex. Canje, Odd Duck, La Condesa, etc.

   I had a good time here. I wanted to enjoy the tasting menu, but I accidentally reserved a bar seat which is a la carte only. This disappointed me because I came from out of town, but it was my mistake--not the restaurant's. I enjoyed a cocktail, two bites, an entree, and a dessert. It was all fantastic.

   I am somewhat familiar with the criteria used to award Michelin stars. I am guessing the star was awarded here based on their tasting menu, but we ordered ala carte as the tasting menu was just too much food for four of us. We did order several items from each category though: bites, raw, hearth and mains. I could provide specific detail, but won't. Food was good, service was very good. In general, the flavor profile of the food reads salt, but not salty. Probably due to the woodfire technique. On pretty big foot fault happened when the mains arrived and we were missing the pork chop. We waited thinking it was coming until we finally asked for it after about 10 mins. We were told it was coming, but it was another 15 mins. Were were told it would be served medium rare when we ordered it which was fine, but it arrived very rare and with no fat rendered at all. Our guess was they forgot about it and tried to fire it and make up for it, but it was not edible for us. The Michelin inspector probably wouldn't have liked that. Nice restaurant, but we didn't really see the star come through on this occasion.
