The Guest House Austin -Food CA (Near Austin)

5 /5 Farrah Grooms: My food and service was an 100 out of 10!! So beautifully tasty. I had the scallop ceviche and rigatoni. Amazing! But service by Vaden made my experience over the top. She was super friendly, gave terrific recommendations and made my experience memorable. I’ll definitely return the next time I’m in Austin.

5 /5 Tracy Foreman: The communication with The Guesthouse was fantastic from start to finish! After booking online, they reached out the afternoon of my reservation to confirm, then texted again 15 minutes before to let me know our table was ready — super thoughtful touch. The hostess was friendly and seated us right away. We started with drinks and the bread I’d read so much about — and wow, it lived up to the hype! It truly melts in your mouth. My espresso martini was to die for — thick, creamy foam with just a hint of cinnamon that made every sip feel like an explosion of flavors. My dinner partner didn’t love her drink, but the staff handled it perfectly and swapped it out without hesitation. For dinner, we both ordered pasta — she had the bucatini and I went for the spicy rigatoni. Both were excellent, but the bucatini had such amazing flavor that I’m already planning to order it next time. Our neighboring table had some of the wild “fantasy cocktails,” which they kindly let me photograph — they’re gorgeous and super fun, though definitely a splurge at $60 each! Dessert was an absolute highlight. I’m a lemon lover, so the lemon cheesecake was perfection — tangy, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet. My friend ordered the sundae, which arrived like a whole campfire scene with toasted marshmallows, brownie bites, ice cream, and chocolate syrup. Cute, creative, and delicious! The ambiance ties it all together — soft lighting, a DJ spinning great music, and an overall fun, upscale vibe. I’d definitely recommend The Guesthouse and will be back next time I’m in Austin!

5 /5 Alanis Macias: Come here for a nice dinner! We made reservations ahead of time which was helpful. The service was tentative and even gave recommendations. The atmosphere as intimate and lively as others were having dinner. The food did not disappoint. This place is good for a date night too. I would come back!

5 /5 Eugene Jung: Had a chance to take some clients out for a post work dinner and chose The Guest House Austin. Been to the Las Vegas location, which was nice, but this one, just wow! Wednesday night, 6:15pm reservation, already pretty full. Chill music playing. By the time we were finishing our appetizers, they had an in-house DJ spinning some fantastic songs that picked up the vibe perfectly! Get seated, order some appetizers, table is constantly being touched by our servers, Amanda (who was amazing and I highly recommend requesting her if you book a reservation) and the team who made sure drinks were never empty, dishes were constantly swapped out as well as silverware. Truly an elevated experience. Amanda did a wonderful job engaging the table, took all of our orders by memory, which is risky but she did not make a single mistake. I asked her about it and she said it allowed her to stay engaged with the guests. Top notch! Everything she recommended was exactly as she described. Its not often you get a meal where every single thing from the bread (almost criminal to call that bread because it was so delicious) to the appetizers (Steak Tartare, Spicy Rigatoni, Beets, Apple & Endive Salad) to the entrees (Rosewood, Cacio e Pepe w/ house made noodles, Short Rib, Veal Parm, Whipped Potatoes, Broccolini) to the drinks (too many to name but we did get one of their Theatrical drinks) and the desserts (Lemon Swirl Cheesecake, Smores, and Ice Cream Sandwich). I dont drink and I had mentioned it once at the beginning of our experience to Amanda so when we got a round of champagne to toast, she brought me a non-alcoholic, and with the Theatrical drink, she made sure I wasnt left out and brought me a non-alcoholic serving of Mango Margarita).
