Best Date Night Restaurants in Bee Caves / Lakeway / Lake Travis

In my humble opinion, this is quite possibly the best restaurant in Austin right now. Definitely one of the best. The ambience is great, the architecture is nice, the lighting is flattering in case you're going for a date, and the food is out of this world. They are really well put together dishes that you're not gonna get somewhere else, and/or you won't get it that way somewhere else. And the bar is just as much a part of the restaurant as the kitchen is. If you love booze, definitely sit at the bar. The bartenders are so knowledgeable and you can tell they enjoy what they do and the vermouth menu is fantastic. It sounds cliche but it really is more than a restaurant it is an experience. My husband and I came here on a date, we both work outside and make very middle class wages, and so yes it is a bit expensive but you get what you pay for. I think if we were a little more well off though, these prices would seem really reasonable for the level of quality that you get. Definitely bring decently nice clothes as most of the clientele seems upscale. Do not sleep on this place! Go if you can!!!

Excellent service, as always! Trenton was wonderful! The scallops tonight were especially divine.

Every dining experience is made better by the right waitperson. Tonight we had one of the most engaging and dynamic experiences thanks to Maren. She was perfect and her personality added to our celebration of our son’s birthday. We started with crab cakes ~ wonderful. My husband had the Norwegian Halibut special, I had Grilled Salmon and our son chose the Salmon Avocado Toast Salad. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Topping it off with Amy’s Mexican vanilla ice cream was the best ending we could have imagined for our meal. Cafe Blue is a great place to meet friends, enjoy a special occasion or just go to watch a game in the bar area. It never disappoints. Oh! And the dinner bread…scrumptious.

The food selection and service were great. As a point of feedback. It would have been nice to have all the food in the same area. We were seated in a separate area and only had access to kid friendly options in our area. We had to walk to other areas for traditional dishes, salads and desserts. It was a great experience overall and a great option for my Mom and I. Una was awesome. I would have tipped him 20% even if gratuity wasn’t included.

The service is good, the people are friendly, the food is good, and it's a good idea to hang out with friends once in a while！！
