Best Family Style Restaurants in West Austin / Westlake

J.Carvers is always a hit and an awesome dining experience. Food, service, and vibe were 10/10 as always. Highly recommend booking the bar if you have a smaller party size. I always look forward to coming back!

What a memorable night! It was worth the wait of having to make a reservation months in advance. We dined on a Friday evening and there was such a synergy to the entire restaurant. Even the Chef on expo looked so at ease with tickets flying in, he stopped and said hi to a smiling baby. Our server Kevin made us feel welcomed and as if we were the only table he was serving, just flawless. The steak cut like butter, it was perfect and highly recommend. The gnocchi reminded me of the last time I was in Italy, just delicious fluffy pillows. Our 9 year old had the Bolognese and it was bursting with flavor which was unexpected but delightful. We also had the meatballs and garlic bread, a perfect way to start the meal. Save room for dessert, you will not be disappointed. The only criticism was that our table was by the entry door and it was drafty and cold. I had to keep my jacket on during dinner, but other than that we look forward to returning in March!

The food was absolutely amazing. Our server to wonderful. She was spot on with several menu suggestions. The restaurant is very tastefully decorated. The bar is really stunning as well.

Food and service were excellent. Had a party of six which allowed us to try a wide selection of choices. Standouts were the oysters and the whole Red Snapper.

Wonderful atmosphere. Served nailed our service expectations and was not pushy which was a nice change. Loud and energetic inside but could still have a conversation. Food was very good!
