Truly our favorite spot for a special lunch or dinner. If you like oysters, you’ll love this place. Pro tip: Call them when they open on Saturday to get a reservation. Or if you're staying at the condo, just walk down the street and chat with the hostess/host for a reservation later that night or day. Sit inside to meet locals while you dine at the bar. Or enjoy the fresh air and people-watching on the small patio. You can't go wrong with the food but our must-orders are the scallops, kale, east coast oysters, and wedge or Crab Louie salad! Their Sancerre white wine and any of their cocktails are wonderful. It can be pricey but they have a great happy hour M-F from 3-5pm with ½ off burgers (they are amazing), 50 cent oysters, $5 martinis, oyster shooters & beer + on Saturday & Sunday from 3-5pm with ½ off bottles of wine, 50¢ off oysters and $5 oyster shooters.

We love to visit this walkable spot for brunch or a casual dinner. Their breakfast sandwich is amazing as are their bevvies! Better Half is also a great spot next door if Hold Out is swamped.

If you're looking for a fancy (but laidback) brunch on a nice day, look no further! This is an adorable and super delicious restaurant that is located inside a house. It's a little on the pricey side but so worth it when you get to sit outside. Treat yourself to Mimosas and the rice bowl.

Not just for nightcaps! This is a neighborhood gem of a restaurant set in a house. Sit at the bar to chat with the friendly bartenders and locals or dine a table. There is outdoor seating too if you're with your pup. Highly recommend the brussels sprouts!

We love this resto for brunch, lunch or dinner. It always feels festive without the fuss. They have a great happy hour Wed-Sat from 4-6 with half-off bevvies and deals on light snacks. They also do a happy hour during brunch on Sat & Sun with half off their signature cocktails. I'd sit outside on a nice day to people-watch while you dine! It's also a GREAT spot to grab dinner before a flick at the Violet Crown.

*Currently closed for repairs* One of my two favorite restaurants in Austin. It can be very hard to get a reservation but you might get lucky if you show up as soon as they open. We love their fresh pasta and espresso martinis.

Walkable Outdoor Activities
Kayaking or Paddle Boarding Town Lake is a must when you visit Austin if the weather allows. Our favorite place to rent from is Rowing Dock. This is a super chill and fun thing to do on the water! You won’t fall in because there’s not a flow. Just bring SPF and a hat or else. :)

This is a neat stop if you want to experience a very Texas bar inside of a very Texas historic hotel. Very Texas meaning cowboy-like decor. It's full of celebs during SXSW and the Austin Film Festival. It's also apparently haunted;) You must order the truffle popcorn!
