"A few years after she won Top Chef, Kristen Kish opened her first restaurant right here in Austin. Located at the bottom of the Line Hotel, Arlo Grey has a fairly wide-ranging menu full of crudo, pastas, chicken milanese and wagyu ribeye. The prices can be steep, but you’re paying for the stylish Downtown scenery (and celebrity bona fides) as much as you are the food. After dinner, head up to P6 for a picturesque rooftop drink overlooking Lady Bird Lake." - matthew jacobs
