Food energizes, replenishes, and revitalizes the mind, body, and soul.
Wink Restaurant 1014 N Lamar Blvd # E Austin, TX 78703 512-482-8868 Description: Wink is unusual in that the menu is ever-changing; the day's offerings are completely determined by the availability of fresh ingredients at local markets. The happy result is one of Austin's most worthwhile evenings out. Servers are all necessarily well-versed in the culinary chaos that goes on in the kitchen; your waiter may recommend kobe beef or rack of lamb dressed up in roasted tomatoes and glazed carrots, or perhaps the seared rare tuna with mushrooms and leeks, all doused in orange sauce. Houston's Restaurant 2408 W. Anderson Lane Austin, TX 78757 512-451-7333 Description: Two factors contribute to Houston's success as a favorite for hardcore American fare. The first is an exuberant after-work atmosphere made possible by customers who truly enjoy food and drink as well as the kind of dimly lit, hardwood interior that's beloved by Texans of both the well-heeled and steel-toed varieties. The second factor is obvious: Houston's serves only the sort of dishes that working folks can't turn down. Tien Hong Chinese Restaurant and Bar 8301 Burnet Road Austin, TX 78757 512-458-2263 Description: Tien Hong's Burnet location, serving North Austin since the mid-eighties, is unusually spacious and brightly decorated -- black and orange put patrons in mind of Halloween -- but there's nothing scary about the food. Vegetarians go for the special mu shu, while the carnivores in the crowd lean toward the black peppered beef and red snapper filet. Particularly noteworthy are the exotic chicken feet and dumplings. Tien Hong is flexible at meeting unusual requests, offering in-house, delivery and catering services as well. Dan McKlusky's Restaurant 301 E. 6th Street Austin, TX 78701 512-473-8924 Description: Quieter and with an orientation geared more toward the food than any atmospheric concerns, McKlusky's has won itself a loyal customer base with its all-you-could-ask-for menu and budget- friendly dining specials. Steak is a key entree, but a diverse range of options may also leave you deciding among the chicken-fried steak, the beef fajita salad, the baby back ribs and the lamb. Banzai Japanese Restaurant 2120 Guadalupe Street Austin, TX 78705 512-320-0657 Description: Shoppers on the Drag have a nice selection of restaurants from which to choose, but for first-rate Japanese food, they've only got one choice. Well, maybe two or three. But Banzai is a colorful, casual establishment with an emphasis on convenience. Meals are prepared and served at fast-food speed. Choose from a limited-but-praiseworthy selection of sushi, teriyakis, tempuras, katsus, beef, chicken, noodles and other standard Japanese fare. Vespaio Restaurant 1610 S. Congress Avenue Austin, TX 78704 512-441-6100 Description: Although this is about as New York-cool as it gets in Austin, Vespaio is much more than just a hipster haven. Fashion-forward foodies flock to SoCo (South Congress) for gourmet neo-Italian hits, including smoked duck and papparadelle fungi, which is folded over wide flat noodles and covered with a brandy cream sauce, shiitakes, portobello mushrooms, shallots and fresh tarragon. An impressive selection of fine wines and attentive service from a professional staff add to the allure.
