Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Barton Creek

I had high expectations and Aba still far exceeded them. Such unique menu items. The short rib hummus was phenomenal. Great service and ambiance.

Jeffrey’s is the finest overall dining experience in Austin for classic beautiful food, outstanding service, and an incredible wine selection (albeit a pricey but outstanding selection). Each offering is well prepared and well presented. The pork belly duck rillettes are little bites of luscious tasty apps, the escargot was delightful and not the classic thick butter garlic but a fresh presentation of the seafood tidbit with fresh herbs on puff pastry. We had the venison, which was delicious and perfectly medium to dark pink, and a lighter not gamey taste with a perfect sauce and red cabbage as in old world game. Potatoes were yummy but the Brussels sprouts were possibly the best we ever had: perfectly crisp and light in the center. Service was exceptional-attentive, professional yet friendly, knowledgeable and just delightful. Thanks! This why we keep coming back!!!

Our waiter Manny was super! Great recommendations and great service. Food was fresh and flavorful. You can tell the care and time they take to make their plates here. I enjoyed the background and context given for each plate as it came out and made the experience that much better.

Food was excellent. Service was excellent; there when you needed them and not when you didn’t.  The Caesar Alla Tommy salad is definitely a must.

Everyone was very nice and welcoming. Vlad, our server, was very attentive and friendly. Loved my Maryland crab cake. Love my Friday lunches there.
