"The fancy, verdant New American restaurant within the Commodore Perry Estate is beautiful inside and out. The patio and many tables in the dining room overlook the estate’s beautifully manicured grounds. Plus, the restaurant earns high marks for its dishes, such as the fresh raw vegetables in the petit aioli or the buttery kouign amann ice cream." - Erin Russell
"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
"When to get it: Wednesdays, 5-10pm Lutie’s garden scenery is pretty Versailles-ish, making this one of Austin’s swankier happy hours. It's advertised as a "'til supplies last" situation, which means you should probably show up on the early side. Between 5-6pm, there are also drink specials and a few other discounted appetizers." - matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary
"When searching for a fancy start to the day, head to this beautiful brunch at this Hancock luxury hotel restaurant. Lutie’s serves an American-ish menu filled with some of the best pastries in the city courtesy of co-executive chef Susana Querejazu, plus classy drinks, and brunch classics, such as bagels and lox, crepes, and Gulf shrimp-stuffed omelets. From the velvet seats to the greenery hanging from the ceiling, it’s got a strong Alice in Wonderland vibe and decor that’s a true exercise in maximalism. If you need to dial it down a notch, there is less intensely decorated seating outside. Brunch hours are from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekends." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Lutie’s feels like a fairy tale. It’s a garden party all the time, with hanging vines, leaves, and plants obscuring whatever ceiling manages to keep all the magic inside. But it’s more than just a flashy coat and a nursery worth of plants—this is a “garden restaurant” that serves as a tribute to vegetables. The menu is made up of whatever some farmer decided was looking pretty nice this time of year—and it changes often—so throw on your linen suits and sundresses and step into one of the prettiest restaurants in the city." - nicolai mccrary
