The 12 Most Romantic Restaurants In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"If you have dinner at Lutie’s, you’ll technically find yourself at the Commodore Perry Estate—a swanky resort in a restored old mansion across the street from one of the most grackle-laden H-E-Bs in Austin. But once you’ve entered the grounds, you’ll feel more like you’re eating in the gardens of Versailles. If there were ever an occasion to wear bright linen and a large floppy hat, this is it. But despite feeling like a proper garden party, Lutie’s doesn’t rely purely on theme as its primary draw—the service is great, and the food is excellent. The menu changes often, but you can expect dishes like scallop crudos, confit pork, and kouign amann ice cream, which is like a Dairy Queen blizzard that went to culinary school." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
