Luxury takes root in the heart of Austin at Nido, bringing the charm of the area together with the culinary techniques of coastal Europe, all perched above Lady Bird Lake and the energetic cityscape.

Nido is located on the rooftop of The Loren at Lady Bird Lake - recently named by Conde Nast Traveller and Travel & Leisure Magazine as "one of the hottest hotel openings in the world." Nido nods to the surrounding and native Hill Country, giving diners a one-of-a-kind respite to experience worldly-travel through food. Nido’s selection of carefully crafted, seasonal menus are internationally-inspired with a focus on classical technique.

Reservations are available for inside the dining room and the dining tables in the bar. Lounge seating is available on a walk in basis in the bar and on the terrace for drinks and snacks.

    great view, vibe and service BUT I spent almost as much on the PARKING ($16) as I did on the small meal. Stop the madness, contract for lower flat rate with the 3rd party hotel valet service.

    What a great place for drinks, bites and Austin skyline and Town Lake views/pictures! We enjoyed excellent service, lovely ambiance, and wonderful food and drinks; their slightly spicy Bloody Mary was delicious. Smash burger was tasty, as was the Salmon Hash from the Brunch menu. It was very potato heavy but still very very good!!

    Food is excellent, just miss better explanation so you maximize the dinner experience. Music is too loud making all the people talk aloud and you ended up preferring not talking so you don't need to keep to whole night screaming .

    Nido was great for sunset drinks. They gave us a glass of sparking wine for our anniversary and wished us well. Very sweet. Great views. Great snacks. Awesome drinks.

    The ambience here is pretty hard to beat, specifically if you reserve an outdoor seat during sunset. I highly recommend this place for a special occasion on a nice weather day. The food is great, but you’re paying for the excellence, so what really gives Nido an edge is the ambience, particularly the outdoor seating and view of Town Lake & Downtown Austin. I went to celebrate an engagement and our waitress, KQ, treated us perfectly. She gave us complimentary champagne and made us feel celebrated.

    Bonito lugar, muy overrated El atún fue nuestra comida favorita 100/10 No me gustó que te cobraran sin preguntar el donativo para plantar árboles, se me hizo incensario.

    Ambiance was great. Absolutely love the views. Was difficult to find initially. Parking is an issue so you must valet. Drinks are A+ food is a bit over priced. Had better but the atmosphere, lighting all makes up for it
