About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
Luxury takes root in the heart of Austin at Nido, bringing the charm of the area together with the culinary techniques of coastal Europe, all perched above Lady Bird Lake and the energetic cityscape.

Nido is located on the rooftop of The Loren at Lady Bird Lake - recently named by Conde Nast Traveller and Travel & Leisure Magazine as "one of the hottest hotel openings in the world." Nido nods to the surrounding and native Hill Country, giving diners a one-of-a-kind respite to experience worldly-travel through food. Nido’s selection of carefully crafted, seasonal menus are internationally-inspired with a focus on classical technique.

Reservations are available for inside the dining room and the dining tables in the bar. Lounge seating is available on a walk in basis in the bar and on the terrace for drinks and snacks.

    Quietly one of Austin's true gems. An astounding view of both downtown and the Hill Country, a well-rounded menu that delivers some exceptional sea food, and an excellent wine list. One of our party has a gluten allergy, and the staff - especially Michelle, our excellent server - were well prepared to walk us through what could and could not be prepared. Extra points for the staff actually paying attention to the notes in the reservation. Thank you.

    Location is very nice and the place has a great view of downtown. My girlfriend ordered an appetizer (burrata) as her entree. Her meal came with my salad. She did enjoy her appetizer. When my entree arrived she had completed her meal. It was not a huge deal but not what we were expecting. I ordered the branzino. Please, do not ever order the branzino. It was poorly prepared, looked unappetizing and it was worse than bland. Our waitress, was very pleasant and was managing another large table, did not come to check to see if we were enjoying the meal. I did quietly speak with the manager who was extremely apologetic and did remove the salad and branzino from our bill.

    You’re greeted with a serene and stylish ambiance, but what truly sets it apart is the stunning outdoor seating with a panoramic view of the city—perfect for a relaxing weekend escape. The food is absolutely delicious, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Whether you’re craving something sweet or savory, the menu hits all the right notes. The mimosas are also worth a mention—refreshing, well-balanced, and flowing just right for brunch vibes. Service is equally impressive. The staff is attentive without being overbearing, and they make sure everything is running smoothly, adding to the overall pleasant experience.

    I don’t like to write bad reviews about places but I was pretty disappointed with the service here. I booked a reservation 3.5 weeks in advance for a birthday, and requested an outdoor table and the staff could not accommodate this request even though we booked far in advance and there was availability on the app. I would have appreciated being let know in advance that the team was not able to fulfill the outdoor table request, especially for a special occasion. The place itself is beautiful, but it was very busy and took a while to get our drinks and food out. We liked the views and drinks, but the food menu options were limited/average for the price.

    Amazing as always! The food was great, the wait staff and management were all extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Stunning view of downtown Austin and the lake. Brought a date and they took care of putting flowers in a vase for us and then helped us repackage them when we were done with our meal. Highly recommend for any occasion!

    I thought the brunch menu is too limited and overpriced. The parking at $15 is way too high. The view is great, but it doesn’t make up for the limited high priced menu. This was our third visit and likely our last, the value is lacking.
