🇺🇸 Austin Vibe Dining Picks! 🍷✨ Two Must-Try Restaurants

Winter nights call for great food and drinks! Here are two recent favorites – both require reservations (they’re popular!). 1️⃣ Sway 🇹🇭 Thai Flavors Located southwest of the river, this place features large shared tables (fun for a communal vibe!). The ambiance is elegant, and the cocktails are delicious. 🍹 Must-orders: Blue Crab Fried Rice (spicy! 🦀🌶️) Son in Law Pork Shoulder Rice Bowl 🐖 Curry Mussels (comes with white rice) Portions are huge and satisfying! Saw a neighboring table devouring a giant fried fish – looked amazing too. ~$50+ per person. 📍 3437 Bee Caves Rd, West Lake Hills, TX 78746 2️⃣ Kemuri Tatsu-Ya 🇯🇵🏮 Izakaya Vibes On East 2nd Street with street parking available. Spacious inside with varied seating. Their drinks are creative (loved the matcha cocktail in a lucky cat cup! 🐱). Highlights: Skewers (especially the scallops!) 🍢 Pan-seared Eel 🐟 Fried Chicken Appetizer (with special sauce and caviar – unique!) Japanese Pudding Dessert (caramel + smoky notes, served with coffee to cut sweetness) ☕🍮 ~$50+ per person. 📍 2713 E 2nd St, Austin, TX 78702 #Austin #AustinEats #DateNight #AustinFoodie #TexasDining 🌃🍽️
