Best Casual Restaurants in Central Austin

Not trying to be a pretentious ars here but we’ve eaten in France & New Orleans and have had a hard time matching those experiences. My wife, daughter, granddaughter and I had a Valentines dinner here tonight. I can say that the food and the experience were great. French Onion soup was quality, I tasted my daughter’s tequila martini & ordered one myself, lamb chops were perfect and the banana, nutella crepe was one of the best desserts I’ve had. Coming from a fat guy, that’s a compliment. First timer who will be back for more

Great service, great cocktails, and we really enjoyed the dessert. The apps were very good and the entrees were also very good.

If you only have time to eat at one place while visiting Austin, eat at Paperboy!!!!!!! The food was amazing (damn that secret sauce 🤌🏼✨) BUT S/O the staff, everyone was so nice & great vibes all around!

Amazing from start to finish. Super personable and helpful waitstaff who helped us figure out the menu and must-have items. Vibe was lively but also intimate. Every dish was the best version of that I’ve ever had. Tuna Tiridito was crunchy and creamy. Fish tacos light and fresh. Zarandeado was a knockout - smoky. Guava cheesecake was rich, but with a good textural balance with the candied pepitas. Can’t wait to come back

Our server was attentive and the food was an effective blend of steakhouse fare and lively Mediterranean flavors. It was the perfect spot for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. We will be back.
