Zagat review: “At his Zilker brick-&-mortar revival of his original trailer, Barley Swine chef Bryce Gilmore is once again wowing diners thanks to an inventive farm-to-table menu of New American small plates with a strong focus on local ingredients, plus excellent cocktails and a thoughtful list of beer and wine; the wood and steel environs are chic yet comfortable, and include a patio that screams ‘drink here all day!’”

Zagat review: “Chef Jesse Griffiths continues his dedication to all things local at this Cherrywood American, a brick-and-mortar that’s cooking with his signature farmer’s market offerings (down to the olive oil and honey), also available at the on-site butcher shop; the menu might include smoked pork chop or a venison ceviche tostada, served with Texan wine, of course, in a spacious-yet-homey interior with exposed brick and natural woods.”

Zagat review: “Chef Sonya Cote of East Side Showroom continues her commitment to local, farm-fresh food at this homey New American restaurant housed at Springdale Farm, offering a five-course dinner menu Friday and Saturday that changes weekly and a seasonal brunch. Guests dine alfresco under a tent construction beside a 1920s farmhouse and can BYOB.”

Zagat review: “This ‘wonderful little oasis tucked away in a nondescript location’ is known for innovative farm-to-table New American dining with a fantastic tasting menu and an incredible wine list; decor is a bit lacking and some find it a bit pricey, but it’s still a destination for special occasions and date nights; P.S. closed Sundays.”

East Side Café
2113 Manor Road www.eastsidecafeaustin.com
Zagat review: “A Cherrywood fixture, this early locavore enterprise prepares amazing American cuisine from fresh vegetables grown in the garden out back and other locally sourced ingredients; the charming old bungalow offers a cozy environment that works for family meals, but it’s also romantic enough for date night.”
