Mediterranean steakhouse with dry-aged prime cuts & inventive cocktails
"Aris describes itself as a “modern Mediterranean steakhouse” with a menu that heavily features dry-aged beef. The Clarksville spot has an open kitchen and a dining room full of tall windows. While this is the restaurant group’s first outpost in Austin, they also have locations in Houston, New Orleans, and Costa Rica." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"Summer is for splurging on at least one sexy steakhouse. This Mediterranean-leaning newcomer on a discreet lot in Clarksville serves its ribeyes with bone marrow and herbs that the servers light on fire at your table. With that sort of decadence, consider it 2025’s harbor for well-air-conditioned special occasions." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"Sof Hospitality, the group behind Israeli steakhouse Doris Metropolitan, which has locations in New Orleans, Costa Rica, and Houston, has brought its Mediterranean flair to Austin. Aris, a Mediterranean-style steakhouse, opened in mid-January in Clarksville, boasting meaty, dry-aged prime cuts and a variety of dishes like Moroccan tiger shrimp served with challah. The restaurant pays just as much attention to its vegetable dishes, which include flavorful complements, including Israeli salad and honey-glazed harissa carrots. The wine list is lengthy and diverse, with picks from Burgundy and Bordeaux in France, Lebanon, and Israel." - Courtney E. Smith
"Clarksville’s Aris drapes Mediterranean steakhouse fare in sleek sophistication, and the desserts match the moment. Layers shine in the tiramisu mille-feuille, while the chocolate hazelnut entremet, topped with whiskey ice cream, is one of the restaurant’s most stunning presentations. Cardamom cheesecake, another highlight, adds a floral, spiced note to the lineup. The setting is moody and modern, ideal for lingering." - Darcie Duttweiler
"This Clarksville restaurant brings refinement to traditional flavors with a seafood-forward menu and polished, modern interiors. Grilled octopus, spanakopita, and delicate crudos show off both technique and restraint. Dry-aged steaks and incredible martinis elevate the usual Mediterranean flair, while the interiors swing a little bit fancy-schmancy a la Las Vegas. Be prepared to crave the olive oil marmalade that comes on the complimentary bread dish." - Darcie Duttweiler
