Experience a breezy lakeside gem where Chef Kristen Kish serves up stunning French and Italian-inspired dishes alongside clever cocktails in a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
"Top Chef winner and now host Kristen Kish’s first solo restaurant landed in Austin with elegant dishes stemming from her already-storied past. Located lakeside inside the Line Hotel, the restaurant boasts crudos, grilled meats, and pasta in its bright indoor dining room, a prime location for bat-watching. Don’t skip the toasted sourdough ice cream. Cocktails showcase Kish’s background and travels, featuring soju, mezcal, pama, and rum." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Top Chef champion turned Top Chef host Kristen Kish chose Austin’s Line Hotel as the home of her first restaurant. The downtown spot allows her the opportunity to work with fresh Austin ingredients, make use of her classical French and Italian training, weave in techniques and flavors from her Midwestern childhood, and introduce elements from her Korean heritage. The result is an international menu that’s multifaceted without feeling muddled, starring dishes like fried steamed buns with eggplant; crispy rice with crab, bacon, and saffron aioli; and confit duck with dumplings. In terms of beverages, the restaurant offers a well-chosen list of American and European wines (with a heavy emphasis on natural wines) and a tightly curated cocktail menu, and the restaurant’s minimalist but warm decor scheme keeps the focus on the food, drinks, and company at the table." - Taylor Tobin, Eater Staff
"The Kirsten Kish-helmed downtown hotel restaurant within the Line is hosting a Thanksgiving prix fixe menu, with executive chef Alejandro Munoz. The $89 meal includes honey-roasted duck breast, ricotta dumplings, and fluffy cheesecake. Its hours are from 5 to 10 p.m. Reservations should be booked online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
"In downtown Austin, the Line Austin Hotel’s restaurant — run by Top Chef winner and host Kristen Kish — takes advantage of those stellar views with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Colorado River and the Congress Avenue Bridge (making it a prime bat-watching spot). There are indoor dine-in services." - Darcie Duttweiler, Nadia Chaudhury
"Host Kristen Kish is the chef/partner at Arlo Grey." - Eric Webb
