The 17 Best Austin Restaurants For Birthdays - Austin - The Infatuation

"There’s something for everyone at the French restaurant Justine’s in East Austin. The brasserie menu spans duck confit to cheeseburgers, and moules-frites to a very good bolognese (last we checked this is not a classic French dish). But where Justine’s really shines is the different seating options: there’s the intimate dining room with vinyl records spinning, there are the semi-private tented cabanas with chandeliers that can basically expand to fit dozens of people, and the chill and relaxed winter tent with the oyster bar. If you really want to make a night of it, there’s always the caviar service with the smoked heirloom potato gaufrettes." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
