Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Downtown

Great service, restaurant is open with nice seating and breakfast was excellent.

All of the service we received was fantastic! The hostess was immediately kind and welcoming and our server was super attentive and helpful in describing the menu and answering any questions that we had. All the food we got was lovely. We ordered the sourdough, beignet, crispy rice, rabbit & ricotta dumplings, cheesecake and lime sorbet. I would probably order everything again, but the fluffy cheesecake was more like a cake so I would probably try a different desert. Ambiance was fantastic and it felt busy but not crowded. I would absolutely recommend checking this place out!

Always great food & service by staff. Ron is a great server who paces the meal fantastic so we can get downstairs to Parker Jazz Club. A great pairing for us since Parker opened.

Beautiful space with covered outside patio. I enjoyed the menu but was a little put off by the door blowing my menu off the table whenever the door opened. Overall, the service was prompt and good. From cocktails to apps to mains, everything was well prepared and tasty. I had the chicken and waffles (savory) and my sister had the pancakes. Delicious! Definitely try out this locale!

Finally, a dining experience in Austin that truly lives up to the hype! Hestia's dedication to live-fire cooking creates magic on every plate. From the moment we walked in, the staff treated us like valued guests, demonstrating an impressive knowledge of both the menu and cooking techniques. The pork belly was nothing short of revelatory - perfectly rendered with a crackling exterior that gave way to melt-in-your-mouth meat beneath. My wife's bavette was cooked to absolute perfection, showcasing the restaurant's mastery of open-flame cooking. The attention to detail in every dish proves why Hestia stands at the pinnacle of Austin's dining scene. What truly sets Hestia apart is the combination of exceptional food and impeccable service. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, and their passionate knowledge of each dish enhanced our dining experience. The elegant atmosphere and open kitchen add to the theatrical experience of watching the chefs work their magic over the flames. Without hesitation, this was the best meal we've had in Austin. If you're looking for a truly memorable dining experience, Hestia is absolutely worth every penny.
