Restaurants near Highland Lake

Perfect for a holiday dinner. Very festive and full of Christmas decorations. Lots of pretty lights.

We frequent The Grove in Lakeway because the view is amazing, the food is not only delicious but one of the best restaurants in town for catering to gluten free necessities. The wine selection is the icing on the cake!

What a memorable night! It was worth the wait of having to make a reservation months in advance. We dined on a Friday evening and there was such a synergy to the entire restaurant. Even the Chef on expo looked so at ease with tickets flying in, he stopped and said hi to a smiling baby. Our server Kevin made us feel welcomed and as if we were the only table he was serving, just flawless. The steak cut like butter, it was perfect and highly recommend. The gnocchi reminded me of the last time I was in Italy, just delicious fluffy pillows. Our 9 year old had the Bolognese and it was bursting with flavor which was unexpected but delightful. We also had the meatballs and garlic bread, a perfect way to start the meal. Save room for dessert, you will not be disappointed. The only criticism was that our table was by the entry door and it was drafty and cold. I had to keep my jacket on during dinner, but other than that we look forward to returning in March!

We had a birthday party at Carve Barton Creek 12/20/24. It was a very enjoyable experience because of Colton (manager) and Lexi, our server . We wanted to change tables. Colton was very kind and accommodating. He checked in with us several times throughout our dinner celebration. Every bite and sip Lexi brought us was delicious. The eight of us tried almost everything. Thanks for another fun night!!

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.
