    Another perfect experience at La Condesa. From the vibe, to the food, to the staff..it’s always the best of times. The food is to die for, especially the banana brown sugar ice cream which should be sold by the pint! If you come to Austin and DON’T go to La Condesa.. you will have regrets and regrets lead to resentments. Live your best life and go to La Condesa 💪

    Excellent food, especially the steak, and the service was outstanding as well. We had two waiters constantly by our table, and the gentlemen were very nice, attentive and helpful. All in all a very memorable experience. I recommend Perry’s highly.

    We had dinner in zthe Veranda. Happy Hour on a Thursday night was until 6:30pm, so that was nice. My partner and I shared the delicious Oysters Rockefeller. There were only 3 of them but they were huge and filling. Entrée was the Italian Oscar, which was excellent. Service was 10 stars! Excellent teamwork and they made sure I was safe, as I have a severe peanut allergy!

    From the moment we Met the hostess, who provided us with one of the best seats of the house known we’ve been waiting two months to eat at the restaurant to staff that provided water or waitress. Emma was amazing. Everyone was kind and informative, and the food was spectacular. Seafood was out of this world. The drinks were on target and dessert the black lava cake that was suggested amazing highly highly recommend this restaurant. Everyone was cordial and nice and really provided us an excellent experience

Discover Downtown

Austin offers the best of all worlds. Creatives love its vibrant arts scene and tolerant vibe. Entrepreneurs appreciate its tech-heavy graduate pool from the University of Texas at Austin and other local schools. Those looking for savory food options are just as happy with what the Texas capital city has to offer. A diverse range of international, fusion, and standard American fare satisfies every appetite. But the city is especially well-known for its variety of breakfast tacos, known as migas tacos. As part of the Texas Barbecue Belt, Austin is home to a mind-boggling number of BBQ joints. The city's Central Texas barbecue style, influenced by the European immigrants who settled here, involves show-stopping portions of pecan- or oak-smoked ribs and brisket.
