    Very sexy speakeasy in downtown Austin. The drinks, ambience and vibes were amazing. Cute for date night or girls night out as they take your phone so you have to engage in conversation and enjoy the night. Highly recommend!

    We went to J Prime for Christmas Eve dinner and had the pre fixe menu, and it did not disappoint! Since there were six of us, we had more than enough appetizers and sides to go around and every dish was prepared to perfection! Our server, Ashley, was on top of everything and made great recommendations throughout the night, also really appreciated the attentiveness of other staff at the restaurant and ensuring we were having a great time. We will definitely be back!

    Disclaimer: Serenade is inside the W Austin, so don't get lost like we did. The Hostess NySha was so lovely and she took great care of us and got us to our Waitress Julia, who was absolutely amazing. They were a great team, both recommending must try items. It's out anniversary so they gave us some champagne 🥂 which was lovely. We got a Chevre Spread which is a must try, like the flavors are all unreal just mesh together. I got the Duck and my wife got the Chicken dish and they were both lovely. The duck is next level, like fall off the bone next level. All together we had a great time, they took photos of us for us and we took the rest of the fun into Downtown Austin.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Edge Rooftop Bar, and it was an incredible experience! The views from the rooftop are absolutely stunning, offering a perfect backdrop for a relaxing evening. The ambiance is modern and inviting, making it an ideal spot for both casual outings and special occasions. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring we felt welcome throughout our visit. The drinks were expertly crafted, and the menu had a great selection of options to suit all tastes. The food was equally impressive – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I highly recommend Edge Rooftop Bar to anyone looking for a memorable rooftop experience. I’ll definitely be returning soon!
