Restaurants near Shoal Creek Hike and Bike North End

The setting is beautiful and the food delicious, but the music is unnecessarily loud, to the point you have to strain to hear your table mates.

We celebrated a family birthday dinner last night @ Carve Central Austin. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The place was hopping and as it filled up was pretty loud. The cocktail menu was intriguing and the Mescal Ritas were uniquely delicious. We thought the wine menu was nice and reasonably priced - for a restaurant. The Perry’s Cab was very good for the price point. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. Most importantly, the service by Jack was outstanding.

This restaurant has only been open for 4 weeks and it is phenomenal! Nick at the bar was serving up looks and fabulous drinks! The service was great as we were slightly late for our reservation but they honored it and accommodated us easily. The apps were all stellar, definitely recommend the Crab Tostadas and Brussel Sprouts Esquites. The prime rib you also cannot go wrong with. Overall a lovely addition to the north side neighborhood.

Always a great experience! The family are amazing hosts and the food quality is always excellent.

I rarely take the time to write reviews but this one really deserves it. We hail from San Francisco so we weren't expecting much from an Italian restaurant in Austin. We were blown away. We ordered the snapper and special pasta (chicken filled ravioli.) The snapper was cooked on their plancha and retained it's moistness. The pasta is on the top five list of pastas I have ever had in my life. I think they must have used smoked chicken from their wood burning grill. We weren't in the mood for beef, but wish we were as everything that was coming off that grill looked over the top good. We were fortunate enough to be sat at the kitchen counter (or they accidentally gave away our table for 2 and had to seat us there) so we had a front row seat to the magic that was coming out of the kitchen. This is kind of a nerdy comment, but the expediter gets an A+. They had a very large party upstairs (like 8 family style dishes at a time) and some how he was able to get all the other food out in a timely manner.
