Restaurants near Austin State Hospital

This was the meal I wanted for my 30th birthday. We asked to be seated on the patio, which was quite simply, magical. The weather was perfect, and the lights and ambiance were amazing. We started with the Smokey Garlic Hummus and the Whipped Feta. They were creamy, salty, unctuous, and with fresh made pita, were a great start to our meal. We split the braised short ribs and crispy potatoes, as well as the Greek salad. The salad had fresh, delicious tomatoes with a good amount of dressing. The ribs and potatoes were both phenomenal. The ribs melted in your mouth with a sweet and savory flavor profile. The potatoes were some of the crispiest I had ever had, and so fluffy on the inside. The drinks were also great! We had the burning man and the another one I can’t remember the name of, but served frozen. Our waiter overheard that it was my birthday and brought us some frozen yogurt, which was creamy and refreshing! I can’t wait to go back.

Parking at entrance and across the street. Atmosphere is friendly and reminiscent of Greece. Service is attentive. Food is incredibly delicious. We had the bass and beef short rib dishes for mains. Grilled octopus starter is the best we have had. Baklava is authentic; not too sweet. Would definitely recommend (make reservations!), and will return on our next visit to Austin.

What a memorable night! It was worth the wait of having to make a reservation months in advance. We dined on a Friday evening and there was such a synergy to the entire restaurant. Even the Chef on expo looked so at ease with tickets flying in, he stopped and said hi to a smiling baby. Our server Kevin made us feel welcomed and as if we were the only table he was serving, just flawless. The steak cut like butter, it was perfect and highly recommend. The gnocchi reminded me of the last time I was in Italy, just delicious fluffy pillows. Our 9 year old had the Bolognese and it was bursting with flavor which was unexpected but delightful. We also had the meatballs and garlic bread, a perfect way to start the meal. Save room for dessert, you will not be disappointed. The only criticism was that our table was by the entry door and it was drafty and cold. I had to keep my jacket on during dinner, but other than that we look forward to returning in March!

Wonderful food, as usual, first time at this location and the noise level is definitely better than Uchi!!

We had not been to the Josephine House in a while, so it was great to return and enjoy a delicious brunch in a festive and cozy atmosphere. Avocado toast was delicious! Our waitperson was attentive and accommodating. Looking forward to returning sooner than later!
