I really enjoyed my dinner at Mongers. Got some oysters to start, some poke tacos, lobster pasta and a slightly seared tuna. The tuna was incredible and the pasta was great too. Only downside was there weren’t many salad or veggie options. Great spot that I would highly recommend!

Monger’s Kitchen has a great ambiance — the decor is beautiful, and the adjoining market offers an impressive selection of fresh fish. Everything we ordered tasted fresh, and the service was friendly and attentive. The only reason I’m leaving out one star is that, for the price, the flavors could have been better. The crab cakes were a bit over-salted, and the entrées lacked depth. Still, it was an overall enjoyable dining experience and I’d come back for the atmosphere and freshness.

Nice variety of well crafted and presented seafood dishes, including raw bar. Moderate wine and craft beer selections. Bar seating available. Yummy selection of dessert options! Excellent service.

Wow. What a hidden gem in Hyde Park. Everything was fresh, fast, and unique. I had the buttered Gulf crab fingers which were decadent. Then a few East Coast oysters as I couldn’t resist and they were perfectly shucked and fresh. The Ahi Tuna was perfectly seared and delicious and the pannacota with strawberries was a refreshing dessert. The service was attentive without hovering and the vibe is on point. Highly recommend.

3.5 stars! Mongers came as a recommendation and we thought we’d give it a shot. We had no reservations when we walked in but the FOH was able to get us a seat at the bar.
Ambiance:
Mongers’ interior feels like a moody speakeasy, if it weren’t for the large flat screen TVs showing sports and the fact that it smelled like if a wet fish market and an old wooden cabin that has been abandoned for exactly 25 years had a baby.
Service:
The bartenders were friendly but swamped. They were fantastic and did their absolute best however, and they were definitely what made our overall experience better.
Food & Drinks:
* 6 pieces of oyster – These were alright. Nothing stood out and while it didn’t taste very fresh, it didn’t taste old either. I do wish we were told as to what types of oysters we were served. Instead, we were just told that the oysters were paired and each 2 oysters were different types. We generally prefer going to Salt Traders if we have a hankering for oysters and after going to Mongers, Salt Traders has established itself as a better seafood restaurant, from our perspective.
* Seasonal soft shell crab with Thai basil sauce – This was delicious. The crab was perfectly fried and the sauce was well-balanced. I did wish we had more sauce but, overall, this was a great dish.
* Cioppino – My husband always gets cioppino at Salt Traders so it felt right that he ordered the cioppino at Mongers as well. They are very close in ranking but Salt Traders still wins this one as their cioppino has deeper & more layered flavors.
* Swordfish – The cheddar poblano grit cake was exceptional and was easily the star of this dish. It paired really well with the perfectly cooked swordfish.
* Whiskey sour – Delicious but the alcohol was weak. The bartender did ask me if I had a preferred whiskey but it feels like maybe he heard me say I didn’t want any whiskey in my whiskey sour because the whiskey was nowhere to be tasted. My partner got a glass of chimay beer.
Final thoughts:
Personally, while Mongers was good, it just pales in comparison to Salt Traders in my humble opinion. Salt Traders’ ambiance is cleaner, the food is just better and to top it all off, it’s also a tad bit less costly. We likely would never go back to Mongers unless our car broke down, we’re hungry and all the other restaurants in a 2 mile radius are closed.

Mongers is an awesome hidden gem, the oysters are fabulous and the staff is super friendly. We went late in the evening on a weekday and they were so accommodating. I can’t wait to go back again!

Beautiful atmosphere, definitely a place you’d want to dress up a little bit for. Dimly lit fine dining with a coastal theme. The food was exceptionally well done. Very eclectic ideas that only a chef would come up with. Lots of daily specials, as well deserts. The Fuji apples on my scallops were awesome! Service was also top notch. Would definitely recommend the place for a good first impression on a date!

Exceptionally delicious every dang time! Just another Austin staple that everyone should try at least 10-20 times. My family and I love going here! We always talk about how good the food is. This restaurant is one of the best seafood places in Austin and that says a-lot for us ATX food snobs. Highly recommended! ❤️

We celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary at Mongers last night. We tried six different items on the menu. All were perfectly cooked, tasted exquisite, and were beautifully presented.
We tried both of the soups on the menu. Of the two, we liked the Seafood Chowder best. The other choice was a Crab and Shrimp Gumbo. Generous different kinds of seafood in each dish.
We also had the Blue Crab Cake and Burrata dishes. The latter did not have tomatoes with the cheese, which it is traditionally paired with, instead arugula and a fig marmalade accompanied it. The crab cake was stuffed with crab and very little filler (which is the mark of a good cake). Served with a smoked tomato aioli.
Finally, we sampled the daily crudo (tuna) and daily ceviche (scallops). They were the stars of the meal. Both so delicate and presented wonderfully, but also they tasted the best.
Service was excellent, attentive but not overwhelming. Paired dinner with a French Sauvignon Blanc. We were treated to dessert to celebrate. A nice touch to an amazing meal. Thank you!
