"This Mediterranean restaurant serving shared plates is under the auspices of executive chef Corey McEntyre (also owner of Milo’s) and chef de cuisine Joel Garza, formerly at Uchi and St. Philip in Austin. Red Herring is also home to the city’s first chef’s table and seafood bar, which serves oysters and crudo. Order plates like sourdough focaccia (made fresh daily), pork belly skewers, risotto carbonara, and duck two ways, which is cooked for 10 hours and served partly grilled and partly with harissa sauce. Find a pianist playing live in the center of the room most evenings." - Amy McCarthy
