Delicious Mediterranean on Congress.  The ambiance and vibe of this place is like no other.  Cute shops nearby too so you can make a day of it.

Reservations are hard to come by but if you get the chance to dine here, your tastebuds will thank you.  It is so cozy as you are surrounded by hanging plants nestled in a quaint little restaurant.

Great venue to catch a live show!  Smaller, more intimate space.

Lots of BBQ to choose from in Austin but this is my fave.  Their cream corn and sausage is my weakness.
