This place rocks. I came here for a birthday brunch and left a happy man with a full belly. The venue is so unique- large garage doors and a massive patio that takes up the majority of the space. There are heaters everywhere to keep the guests warm. My waiter was hilarious, extremely chill, felt like I had an old friend waiting my table.
Now for the food, absolutely bomb. So so good. The appetizers were out of this world. The nachos, pigs in a blanket and whipped feta were all hits. If you’re looking for something to eat in the Domain, this is the spot. You will not be let down. Very satisfied!!

My daughter and I dropped in for a lunch in the middle of the week and this place was a good choice! The atmosphere is festive, staff are very friendly and attentive, checking in when needed, it’s clean with different types of seating, and a massive patio that’s open yet enclosed to keep the space at a good temperature. There was cornhole and foosball as well. We ordered the Crispy Chicken Katsu (so good!), Kids Mac & Cheese, and a few Sangrias (yum). It wasn’t too crowded but that’s also probably because it was the middle of the day in the middle of the week, I’m sure it gets crazy on weekends and in the evenings. Definitely a place to check out!

Overall, I recommend checking this place out. The Domain has tons of shops to walk around .
Restaurant is well staffed but somehow it took what seemed like forever to get our order placed. Large seating area so all group sizes are welcome. Covered outdoor seating is heated. Live music during brunch on Sunday was great. Casual vibe. Food was very good. Whipped feta was my favorite.
The breakfast bowl was just ok, it was bland and had no flavor. I got steak added to it and that was the only good part. The bowl needs some garlic salt or salsa or something to add life to it. Fried chicken was average, not bad and not rave worthy.

Great laid back vibe. Service was very efficient. Staff handle the various aspects of operations like a well oiled machine. Tables were cleared and reset within minutes, food orders came quickly and without errors, the meal and drinks were great. Our server, Mike was amazing. Definitely deserving of recognition and appreciation. Great job Culinary Dropout!

The place seems really nice, but I haven’t enjoyed the seating options on both of my visits. Getting a reservation for big parties (9 people) is necessary it seems, even on a Monday evening, which is surprising. They seem to always have big groups there, and the ones with reservations, get the good tables. The seats are very uncomfortable on most tables, so it’s important to get the ones to your liking. The food was ok this time. Not as great as my first visit…. but at least I was able to get some substitutions for the sides. I’m not certain if it was offered on my other visit. I didn’t like the biscuit at all the first time. This time, it was soft, but not really tasty like I thought it would be. I really love their Brussel sprouts. I would probably visit only with big groups to do shareables in the future.

This was and is a hot spot for the Domain. I went in between lunch and dinner on a week day and the place was in the pre dinner buzz mode as all the servers were getting ready for a rush so they were a little distracted. Overall their menu has lots of options and many of them are shareable so if you want to get together with friends or like splitting plates with your date this is a nice spot. Bar options are many and they have some decent beers on tap so check them out and enjoy.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin. The service is always stellar and the restaurant has vibe about it. Weekends are stellar with live music and a great brunch menu. I am consistently bringing my out of town guests here for the best that Austin has to offer.

Met a friend for lunch after a long conference. The weather was perfect for the patio. Our server recommended the Spicy Shrimp Crispy Rice starter. It consisted of fried rolls which were so savory and well-seasoned. The soy sauce had a sweetness that counterbalanced the saltiness of the roll with chili crunch, avocado and kimchi rice. My entre was the steak frites. It came with an arugula salad. I asked for medium well and it was still very tender. Also, cooked & seasoned very well. It didn’t need any sauce as the black truffle butter melted into the steak. I drank a Vida Verdita (green life). It was refreshing jalapeño, mint, pineapple, cilantro, & bubbly water. Had the slightest kick but well-balanced. Atmosphere is lovely until someone walks by smoking cigarettes. Maybe eat inside if that’s also a turn off for you. Overall, it’s a great place for a nice meal with friends, colleagues or your significant other.

Great food and drinks, definitely more bar atmosphere than restaurant but the ribs were fantastic. Got the fried brustle sprouts, popcorn shrimp, and the ribs. Bar might be more cramped than some of the other tables. Very cool with our dogs and super nice.

Great times here! We got the brussel sprouts, banana bread french toast (chefs kiss), pub burger, smokehouse hash and prime rib sandwich. Everyone liked their food. I also like that our food came out hot and tastes fresh. Our server Karma was amazing! Brunch is till 3p so make sure to head there before then to try the banana bread French toast and hash.
