    This was our first time eating at Hestia and we were dining with friends for a belated birthday celebration. Our servers, Tory and Albert were awesome as were all the other service staff we encountered. Drinks and food was amazing especially the halibut and sauce!

    We savored Happy Hour as well as a few favorites from the standard menu, such as the Uchi Salad, a hand-held lettuce wrap with layers of flavor and texture. There’s just nothing like it anywhere. We appreciated the zero proof drink offerings —complex and sophisticated—and would love to see even more options in this category.. Our server Meghan guided us expertly. It was a perfect dining adventure. As Austin’s food scene has exploded, Uchi continues to lead and innovate, reliable and surprising.
