There's no shortage of five-star restaurants in Austin where you can dine like royalty. The top tier Austin restaurants specialize in local flair and exemplary service. Start your Austin five-star dining experience at Cool River Café. Located in the Arboretum, the Cool River Cafe is a steakhouse and grill. If you think a "steakhouse" is an embellishment for "a place where cowboys carve meat," you will be pleasantly surprised. The elegant and formal ambience is perfect for both business meetings and love birds. It's a great place for those looking to make their first impression a lasting one.
You can also visit Jeffrey's Restaurant, an Austin fine dining mainstay. This Clarksville restaurant, opened in 1975, manages to stay on Austin's dining forefront because of the innovative cuisine created by Executive Chef Alma Alcocer. The menu is imaginative, the execution perfect, the service professional and the atmosphere comfortably elegant. Or see what everyone is talking about and visit Main Street Grill. Stop by for lunch, dinner, or before or after a Round Rock Express game. Main Street Grill's knowledgeable staff will guide you through choices from the shrimp diablo to the homemade turtle cheesecake, plus the perfect wine or cocktail from the full service bar and extensive wine list. Just sit back and enjoy your Austin five-star dining experience, and leave room for more.
