Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Arboretum

My friend and I met at culinary dropout for casual Thursday evening dinner. The food was super tasty, the service was excellent and we sat on the front patio outside so the music wasn’t too loud. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I would highly recommend CD for this kind of outing.

The food and service were awesome! Will definitely be back!!

When you first enter Hopfields from Guadalupe street you’re in the bar / lounge. On the Friday night we were there it was bustling and I was a bit worried. But the space is much larger than just that first room, and after following the hall a bit we were seated in a room in the back where we could have a wonderful date night meal with just the right amount of separation from the other diners including those in the nearby large party seating areas. Anna was pleasant, knowledgeable, and just the right amount of attentive. The food was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the French onion soup, beet and ricotta salad, duck wings a l’orange, and lamb shank. Can’t wait to go back and try several other dishes.

Great experience! Would have only been better with a little day time live music. Definitely make this a stop in Austin!

I highly recommend the calamari. And I’ve never gone wrong with their tuna salad. Steaks were done to perfection. However, I recommend asking for them to not put the sauces on their steaks as they are incredibly salty. Some of the best servers I’ve ever experienced have been at this BJ’s.
