Where is the Best Dessert in Austin, Texas?
As a tourist in Austin staying at the nearby AURTIN MOTEL, i ate at ENOTECA VESPAIO twice and was pleased both times. From the sunday brunch menu, i had the omelet of the day — very tasty with chanterelle mushrooms and veal sausage. The potatoes were not numerous and tucked into the omelet which was small overall. It was complimented…
What’s ‘Austin Stoner Food’? It’s food prepared by someone who thinks more is better. Let’s make a filet mignon with mashed potatoes and veggies. Now, let’s put some blue cheese on the meat. Hey, let’s put some sweet potato on there too. Hey, let’s throw an enchilada on the plate and maybe a samosa too! Now, let’s throw a few more flavors and elements on the plate just ?cause I?m stoned and it sounds good?Okay, seriously, my main criticism is, that while bold, the plates overwhelm the palate with too many, not necessarily harmonious elements and lack sophistication.My favorite part of dining here is the very reasonable wine list. I?ve found the service good as well. I should add I did like it as a lunch spot. Even the ?1000 flavor salad? I had (don?t remember which one I really had).Pros + Wine PricesCons – Too many flavors/elements on a plate
What a surprise this Lake Travis restaurant was – great food, views, and ambience! That is a unique combination. We drove out the first time along the road past Volente to the Lime Creek Marina and took the marina lift down past the waterfall to this charming cafe hanging over the lake. The mahogany plank flooring, teak tables and chairs, and metal sculptures set the stage for a varied menu. We sampled four dishes $13 to 23 all with yummy sides included. The Snapper Louisiane had a Cajun cream sauce over the crawfish/shrimp.The NY Strip was 10 oz of tender steak covered with blue cheese, scallions, and candied pecans. The Jamaican jerked chicken breast and shrimp stuffed with jack cheese and jalapenos rounded out the entrees. These in addition to the appetizers, wine and drinks made this a must return experience. Our second visit was by boat using convenient free slip by the restaurant. This time we concentrated more on the salads and desserts. Favorites were the Lake Travis Summe
