Restaurants near Lamar Beach

We recently dined at J Carver in Austin with our two children and were impressed by how accommodating and welcoming the staff were. From start to finish, the service was impeccable, setting the tone for an unforgettable meal. The drinks were phenomenal—we ordered the French 75 and the Old Fashioned made with Hibiki, and both were expertly crafted. For appetizers, we tried the caviar and crab cakes. The caviar was exquisite, and the crab cakes were hands-down the best we’ve ever had! For our main course, we shared the 60 oz tomahawk steak, accompanied by potato gnocchi and spinach. Every bite was incredible—perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. We ended the meal with their chocolate cake, which was rich, decadent, and the perfect sweet finish to an amazing evening. J Carver exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend for an elevated dining experience in Austin!

Got seated immediately by the most lovely people at the front! Although a packed house, we were served timely and had a great meal. Enjoyed the ambience! Can’t wait to try the sister location at the domain.

The service was outstanding! Our attendee was close by, attentive and ready to do anything necessary to make our evening delightful and issue free. As far as I could see, the same service was being received by the other guests too. The food quality was excellent with very tasty steak (I personally had a fillet) and succulent chicken (my partner's dish). Faultless is perhaps the word I would use to describe the evening. Good food, a buzzing atmosphere, and great service. No more to be said, thank you Red Ash.

We have been to Sammie’s several times with friends and EVERYTIME, our experience is excellent. We take friends whenever in town for them to enjoy as well. Food is just superb and we love the vibe as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Only complaint is it’s a tad pricy!

Brunch was delicious, we'll definitely be back. The restaurant is in such a cute little house and had more seating than I expected thanks to some outdoor seating. Our server was just ok, not overly attentive but did just enough. Definitely recommend the lemon ricotta pancakes! My husband got the steak and eggs and it was a hearty portion. We also got a cinnamon roll which they heated up and it was really good. We easily found parking, but you should arrive earlier to account for this. I highly recommend making reservations!
