Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Arboretum

It was a birthday dinner for a friend and I brought table scaping. Staff helped me to set it up. Service was quick and efficient. Food came out fast, hot and yummy. I had a burger that was the best I'd had in years. Peach lemonade was delish.

One of the best restaurant experiences I have had recently! The food and wine was delicious but what truly made it special was Cora!! She was so amazing, knowledgeable, kind, and all around a super star. We will definitely be back and requested to sit with her:)

Best gnocchi and Italian ambience in town. Highly recommend.

What a flawless experience. I was staying at the Viata for one night, so I booked a reservation for one for dinner at Laurel.  I feel like I was treated like royalty. I ordered the focaccia with whipped ricotta, potate frite, and a Bitter Italian salad, and it was all just delicious.  There was a musician in the lobby of the bar, and that just made the atmosphere all the more perfect. I recommended both dinner and a stay at the Viata to all of my friends.

Every part of the experience was top notch. Great cocktails, amazing service and the ambiance like no other. All the food we had was exceptional but must try the Hamachi and Carpaccio. Any visit to Austin should include Prelude. Could be a quick drink and small bite to start the night but we made it our dinner with lots of tastes.
