Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Barton Creek

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 Well is my favorite spot in all Austin. The food is healthy and nourishes meals that feel like they’re straight from my home kitchen. No seed oils, no shortcuts—just clean ingredients prepared with care. The ambiance is warm. I love working having lunch meetings at this location. Everyone always leaves feeling amazing and really cared for. If you're into super delicious and hearty food that prioritizes health and is served in a beautiful space, The Well is the place to be!

One of the best experience in a restaurant in Austin. I’m happy that they got a Michelin star.. is well deserved. Staff is really attentive (very hard to find that kind of service in Austin), chef’s menu with pairing is incredible well balanced and it really takes you on a journey of taste. Well done!!

Enjoyed a sumptuous Christmas Day brunch. First time at the Blind Salamander. Lovely open feel that adds spaciousness to a fairly intimate space—with floor to ceiling views out over the resort grounds (and the golf course). Buffet offering extensive choices was set up at Multiple stations. (Carving, sides, salad, cheese, seafood, dessert). Service was attentive but not stuffy. The chef personally came to each table and offered greetings. Of special note: excellent prime rib, sides like chipotle sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts and fried oysters were amazing. Also the dessert offerings had tremendous variety and were artfully crafted as well as delicious. The pastry chef went truly above and beyond. The price point was a bit on the high side for buffet style but the quality and extensive menu made it worthwhile. Will go back for dinner sometime as their cocktail menu is interesting and reviews for seafood offerings are very good.

The food and service was excellent. The surroundings and view were beautiful.
