Restaurants near Ramsey Playground

Enjoyed their Thanksgiving dinner menu! I have always had a wonderful experience and meal at Carve. When I saw they were having a Thanksgiving menu special, I made my reservation. Parking wasn’t bad at all. There is a parking garage near by, but also street parking too. This is a residential kind of neighborhood, so it’s pretty quiet. I checked in at the front desk. Since I’m single, they offered open seating at the bar or a table. I chose the bar area. It’s such a beautiful restaurant inside. There is a large glass room where you can see a carver carving up the steaks just as you walk in. The bar is very nice too. High top, marble counter, very large area. Along the outside of the bar are lots of tables and a few TV’s. Outside seating this time of year, is glasses walls with heaters. Otherwise, in the summer months the glass is gone and it’s all open, just gorgeous in the summer. Today it was chilly and windy, so the glass protects you while you’re eating. It is actually pleasant outside with the shelter glass walls. I looked over the cocktail menu while I waited. I decided on the Texas Tiki, which was suggested to me by the bartender. It’s a rum based drink. It was really good. Nice flavor, and not too sweet. For the Thanksgiving menu, you can choose the turkey dinner or the prime rib. I decided on the turkey dinner. I also chose the butternut squash soup. The soup came first and wow, I make butternut squash soup, but it’s never tasted like that! Soup was absolutely flavorful. When my meal came, I was so amazed how much food was on the plate. No way will I ever finish all that food. Turkey was nothing I’ve ever had before. Rich beautiful smoked flavor. Fresh cranberry sauce with a light tart flavor, fresh lightly steamed green beans and rich mashed potatoes and a soft fluffy stuffing. Remember when I said no way will I eat all that food. I did, and it was worth every single bite. I went happily home with a food comma. Service was fabulous too.

Perfect place for family and friends! The location was easy to find, everyone was so friendly. Definitely didn’t feel like we were in Austin! Felt like we were teleported to another place without traveling somewhere else. I don’t like being rushed when you’re trying to eat, enjoy each dish and experience the ambience and this place was exceptional.

Wonderful food, atmosphere, and the server was attentive and at the same time very down to earth and did not give us a feeling of being rushed. We've been To Aba a few times and the food is always spot on. Incredible flavors and presentation

The hosts where lovely and offered us the kitchen seating over the bar - such a cool experience! I Our server was attentive and the drinks came out quickly for all being craft cocktails! This was my partners first time here and after being sat for maybe ~ 10 minutes ~ we booked another reservation for next month! We got bone marrow, caesar salad, rigattoni, yukon potato's and the porterhouse! Our server did talk us out of the tomahawk which was smart, considering we have Turkey leftovers to eat but we WILL be trying it next month! Thank yall 🤍 Also a free desert and a card signed by all the staff for my partners birthday was such a cute touch! We'll see yall soon!

We were visiting for my husband's birthday and we had a fabulous time. The food was amazing as always but this was the first time we had a server who offered the server-led omakase menu. Her name was Ivy and we had such a joyful meal, telling her our preferences and chatting about ingredients. Uchiko has been one of our favorite places for special occasions, and we will be back again for sure!
