Lonesome Dove Austin

My Girlfriend took me here for my birthday this year. It was an incredibly pleasant experience. The food was superb, the atmosphere was lovely, and the staff were some of the nicest people you’d ever meet. Another highlight was the drinks, they were top notch and they have an old fashioned that is smoked, very good stuff. To top it all off, the staff was kind enough to serve a complimentary slice of chocolate cake with a nice card. I would highly recommend, even if it’s just stopping by for a drink.

A home run! Just loved the whole vibe and menu here which was both elevated and so distinctly Texan. It made for the perfect dinner for our one night in Austin. The service was both friendly and helpful with our server providing great recommendations for our first visit here. We started with a buck and pork belly charcuterie which was a nice starter. The rattlesnake rabbit sausage was outstanding - flavorful and and juicy, perfectly balanced by the crispy potatoes. For mains we had the elk and rabbit ravioli. Of the two, the elk was the star. Perfectly cooked with a wonderful rub, it was my favorite dish of the night. The rabbit was also very good, though we found the sauce a bit on the salty side. The ancho lava cake was the perfect finish - delicious. Overall, it was a wonderful evening!

Wow. Just wow. The service for our group of 30 was impeccable. Top notch. Our wine and waters were always full and the courses came out at the perfect intervals. The soft lighting gave the whole space a warm feeling despite it being cold and rainy outside. I just watched season 1 of true detective so the deer antlers above the bar gave me the creeps, but I’m not deducting stars bc that’s my own personal problem. We had a set menu for our group made up of a few popular dishes at the restaurant. I highly suggest the garlic stuffed tenderloin, the mashed potatoes, and the truffle Mac and cheese. The steak knives were surprisingly dull but I did love the attention to detail with the stamps on the silverware. That was really cool. We also got the carrots, and I don’t love goat cheese, but I assumed I could pick off the cheese chunks but it was more coated in a goat cheese sauce than cheese crumbles. So if you’re not a fan of goat cheese maybe skip the carrots. Overall I highly suggest this for a date night, or a small group dinner and up to a large group dinner of 30+. The bar was empty but I was admiring how cool the bar was , so it looks like an excellent solo dining option as well.

This place is hands down the best place in Texas to dine in at. Your money spent here is well worth every bite!! The atmosphere is jaw-dropping! There are so many awesome feature at this establishment. The food is to die for. Everything was delicious. The plate setting was gorgeous. Each plate had it own textures and flavors beautifully displayed. Drinks were amazing and exactly the same with each glass poured. Alexis was our waitress tonight. She was so kind, knew the menu as if she wrote it, checked on us every couple of minutes to reassure us that we were satisfied. I couldn't have asked for a better night out on the town! 100% I will be back when visiting!

It's a misty Wednesday night and my love and I are out for some much needed one on one time. I've eaten at LD in Fort Worth and Austin but this is her first time and the meal was fantastic. We started with a cocktail she ordered the espresso martini and I had to try the Willie...a smoked Manhattan but gives a lot of old fashioned, regardless it delicious and her drink is wonderful. We just for it, we get thr trio of cured meats. There's rabbit, Boar, rattlesnake, duck, lamb, nuts and berries. We loved it, it's all very thoughtful and creative. Next are the first courses. We opted for the Elk and Foie Gras sliders and the blue corn lobster hush puppies...wow and omg...the sliders are one of the best things I've ever eaten. I cannot wait to come back for lunch and just eat those with a side of fries. The hush puppies are crispy and perfect. We shared a gem salad then in to the main...Bison Ribeye with fried guda gnocchis...wow and amazing. We had to try the truffle Mac n chez as well, and a solid bottle of cab. At dinner my live and I were talking about how much fun we have, how we love to enjoy life together. And we decided there and then, that instead of one honeymoon...our life together will be a forever Honeymoon...we will celebrate each other, honor each other, give each other time, love, and respect. We will have as many honeymoons as we possibly can and celebrate our commitment to each other and our love forever not just once! My sun thank you for this magical evening, life is so much more with you in it. Cheers to all the date nights to come, all the honeymoons to share, and all the love we have to give! Love you too the moon and back...and 5 more steps! 🖤💋🖤🌙☀️
