Emmer & Rye

The food and service was fantastic. It was a wonderful evening.

It was your first time here, the service was extraordinary, very friendly staff, the place is very cozy, modern but the food was not as good as expected. The bread and carrots were really good but the pasta and shrimps were really salty.

Wonderful meal. Thoughtful adjustments due to covid-19 were appreciated and didn't impact enjoyment of meal at all! Thank you.

It’s always a pleasure
Save room for dessert!

Emmer and Rye is our favorite Austin restaurant. The waitstaff is amazing- very passionate and knowledgeable about their wine and cuisine (they even know where their ingredients are from originally). Try their homemade pastas (Cacio e Pepe!), Johnny cakes, and bread with beef tallow butter; they are all delicious.

No cooks in this kitchen....they're all chefs!! As usual, a fantastic experience!

Creative sharable’s that contain locally sourced ingredients . Beautiful presentations by the chefs match the descriptions given by the talented wait staff. A lovely setting in a cool area of town that has after dinner entertaining within walking distance from the restaurant
Emmer & Rye is a consistent top five restaurant year in and out. However, I still had to go to Whataburger afterwords to curb my hunger.

Small portions but amazing flavor

Among the finest meals we have ever had. Such unique dishes and flavors. Service was outstanding. Seating was a little cramped and the place could use a little more vibrant decor. We WILL go back, even though we live 3 hours away

It is a great special occasion restaurant and really encourages diners to be adventurous.

Outstanding food in every course! Kyle did a wonderful job as our server. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Austin. My compliments to the chef, the staff, and the bartender.

Everything was impeccable. Our server was great, ambiance nice, food surprising and balanced at still a reasonable price.

They seem to be taking things too seriously. The sell for the dim sum seemed over the top.

Alex is an amazing server - was lucky enough to have him my last 2 visits. Give the man a high five and a raise.

A truly amazing experience. Everyone was so nice and informative

Amazing dinner, highly reccommend!

When first reviewing the menu after being seated, we all were a little concerned, as it felt limited and unusual. Our server was amazing - knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and a great guide. We were wow'ed by the experience and the creativity and thought in all dishes. We loved the additional "dim sum" bites that came around. Our favorite was stinging nettles angliotti pasta - amazing! Truly special evening!

Amazing experience!! Service was awesome, food was awesome, everything was just great. Would highly recommend!!

Very memorable dining experience- it was truly, an experience.

Fantastic food and service. What a tucked away gem for a true culinary experience. Go... You will not regret it.

First timer: the food and staff were great. Loved the dishes, they layer and combine flavors and textures that are a little unexpected, but come together perfectly. (Who knew puréed turnip foam could be amazing?)

Amazing experience and food

Amazing dishes and incredible service. Our experience was a delight and we are looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!

Our server Alex was really what made this experience amazing for us. We gave him control of our menu and he did not disappoint! He was attentive, knowledgeable and very obviously passionate about what Emmer and Rye is doing. We will most definitely be back in the future!

The red snapper and the wagyu was amazing, no doubt about it. However their spaghetti that they are known for is very salty and creamy. It definitely a little too rich. It needed some acid or something to help cut that fat and salt. Their cocktails were amazing. Aside from the pasta everything was amazing. Service was impeccable.

The vibrancy and collective artistic dinning experience was top notch. A true modern restaurant in Austin Texas!

Outstanding! I highly recommend this restaurant. Everything we ordered was amazing. Our server, Megan S was fun and knowledgeable. She had great recommendations. I would definitely come back here for dinner!

After reading about Emmer & Rye we were intrigued, so off we went and we had a delightful experience from start to finish. Our waiter was most helpful with the menu and wine selection. The menu was fun and more importantly delicious, outstanding. It was a great evening, thank you!

The best dining experience in years. Food was so interesting and everything super tasty. Beautiful space. Staff were all efficient , friendly and knowledgeable .

The food and service were both absolutely exceptional.

Amazing. From our server Alex, who was super knowledgeable about the restaurant, food, etc. to the actual meal...it was an amazing experience. I will be recommending this to friends and will definitely be back.

The food was amazing! Every bite was just phenomenal. And, highly engaging with the dim sum cart coming around during our various courses. And, Nick was fantastic - a great food Sherpa.

Great farm to table concept with ‘dim sum’ style service to supplement. Very creative and delicious offerings from starters to desserts. Recommended it highly.

Great food, atmosphere, and service! Would definitely go back!

We had been wanting to go to this place quite a while and finally made it. I feel that every single thing we ordered was lacking in seasoning. I had steak and I have no idea what kind of meat that actually was. It was really improperly prepared or cut. The French omelette however was outstanding. I would not return here. There are just too many other places to try in Austin.

Here for Sunday brunch, bit limited menu with most items quite rich (delicious if you like that, not perfect if you want something a bit more simple), chic space,, servers young, friendly and enthusiastic. That’s the positive. The negative - we were among first people to arrive shortly after opening and hostess after pondering the map for an extra minute gave us horrible table in back of 90% empty restaurant. I never quite understand why you give someone an F.U. Table in an empty restaurant. In any case when we complained we were moved to a nicer table by the window - but why why why start your interaction with such a negative experience? You have one chance to make a first impression and this one was muffed.

Service impeccable. Food disappointing. Husband had
pasta which was good but not hot enough. Bread service on dim sum which was very clever was outstanding. Red snapper crudo I found lacking in flavor. Needed citrus or something to balance the taste.

Amazing. Everything was the best. Try everything.

Outstanding service and food

Great dinner date. Probably won’t come back due to the extremely small portions
