Birdie'S

Second time at Birdies for date night. Went super early at 5 pm on a week night right before the snow storm and they didn't have a line out the door like usually. First time I was there they had a la carte ordering. This time it was a set menu and set price so be wary of the menu costing you a pretty penny but honestly with the food and service it was worth it. Great portions, delicious warm food, great presentation, and excellent service. So def worth the price! Maybe bc it was a slow night for them but the staff was extra attentive, to a point where they were switching out plates faster than the entrees and items. Nicely done, wine 🍷 selection was extensive and expensive, worth it though if you are down to spend. Best part of the menu was the soup for me! So good I want to lick the bowl, We got the bread as extra, and paid the extra for the diff entrees so we could try both, less impressed by the entrees. On point for the dessert, both options were great. With the rotating menu I'm excited to come back and try something different next time. Keep up the good work Michelin all star team.

Food and service were absolutely amazing. Wonderful and unusual menu and wine selection. Enjoyed the prix fixe menu and a bottle of white, then red wines that paired very well. Loved the beet carpacio and the dessert, a soft serve vanilla ice cream with olive oil the most. Would be interested in a return visit to try some other things on the menu and scout the wine selections further. Finally, very reasonably priced for the quality and presentation.

They have limited reservations nightly but mainly do walk-ins, so if you can’t get reservations that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck. The line moves tragically slow even when they have tables open (I’ve yet to figure out why, but I’m sure there’s a reason). You place your initial drink order and modifications (if any) to the à la carte menu at the counter before being seated. If you don’t have reservations you pick your seating on the outdoor patio. As noted, the menu is à la carte and changes monthly. They have a vast selection of beverages; they have more nonalcoholic beverages than most places and the selection is great. The food is absolutely delicious and it’s quick to see how they earned their Michelin star. To date, the cabbage and evercrisp apple soup with chives is my favorite dish, but I’ve not had a single bad bite. Everyone we have encountered seems genuinely happy to work there and offers excellent service. The only unfortunate things about dining here are the parking (which is non existent - just get a ride share) and the acoustics. Everyone on the patio was shouting to be heard and it felt like the music kept getting louder as the diners did.

This was the highlight of our trip to Austin and very likely the best meal of the year. The menu is seasonal but very approachable. The staff is amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. This is the type of restaurant that makes awards like the (well deserved) Michelin Star make sense to us monies. We had their April 2026 menu. Everything was exquisite and delicate but very intentional. We had deviled eggs with pepper and trout roe, beet carpaccio, sweet onion tomato soup, caprese with ramps, sablefish and both of their desserts (pound Cake was my favorite). Needless to say this is my best restaurant experience ever.
