- CChristopherVIPNew Orleans / Louisiana •89 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe are from New Orleans in town for a long weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to this highly-rated prime seafood and steak restaurant in Downtown Austin. Classic white-tablecloth tables, elegantly attired service staff, very friendly, professional and attentive service, and our lead server, Danielle, was very helpful. Our Martini and Smoked Old Fashioned cocktails were perfectly crafted, the 5-ounce crab cake appetizer was shareable for two, very tasty, and almost all crabmeat, just perfect. The Ahi Tuna (spicy, nice) and 10-ounce Filet (medium rare, cooked perfectly) entrees were absolutely delicious, accompanied by a (small-option) order of asparagus, shared by the two of us, sized just right, and we had Sauvignon Blanc and Malbec wines by the glass. Thank you, Danielle and team, for a truly wonderful dining experience.More infoEddie V's - 5th StreetPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Downtown•4.9
