The 12 Best Tasting Menus In Austin
"Hestia is one of the few spots in town where a suit doesn’t feel out of place. Pair that with excellent wines and local ingredients cooked on a live-fire hearth, and you get one of the best spots Downtown for a fancy night out. You won’t necessarily see most of the fire action, though you’ll certainly taste its effects in various forms, from ash-aged chevre to hearth-roasted beets. The chef’s tasting features a mix of fan favorites and tasting-menu exclusives. It has its highs and lows, but the biggest flaw is the pacing—about half of the courses consist of a single bite, and arrive 15-20 minutes apart (our most recent experience lasted nearly four hours). Make sure you pay for extra parking." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
