The 12 Best Fancy Restaurants In Austin For A Special Occasion Dinner
"Hestia is one of the few spots in town where a suit doesn’t feel out of place. Pair that with local ingredients cooked over a live fire, an excellent wine list, and a dining room that looks like it was plucked out of a much bigger city, and you get one of our favorite spots Downtown for a fancy night out. Nearly everything on the menu is cooked on a 20-foot hearth that anchors the dining room, but this isn’t some rustic cowboy hibachi experience. You won’t necessarily see most of the live fire action, though you’ll certainly taste its effects in various forms, from ash-aged chevre to hearth-roasted beets. There’s an a la carte menu if you’ve got your eye set on that 12-oz. Texas wagyu ribeye with smoked beef lardo, but we recommend the tasting menu for the full experience. " - nicolai mccrary
