Best Live Music Restaurants in Villas on Travis

Culinary Dropout is our favorite restaurant in Austin. In fact, we go out of our way when we are anywhere near Austin to stop in for a meal. The food is outstanding! No gross, exotic combinations of spices, sauces, etc. that you get at many "up-and-coming" restaurants today, just downright good food that is excellent every time we are there. We are waiting for the day when they bring their world class meatloaf back. In the meantime, we have adopted the fried chicken as one of our new favorites. And, let me mention the wonderful assortment of wait staff and other employees who treat you like royalty every time you come in. We can't thank you enough! Especially those of you who are now our friends. Hats off to your caring style and your listening ears and hearts! Don't pass this place up! Believe us, the wait is worth it if you can't get a reservation.

Enjoyed a beautiful view. A large selection of delicious foods to choose from. Amanda creates the most enjoyable meals with great attention to details.

Our dinner experience at Laurel was exceptional. Simo, our server was amazing. He made wonderful recommendations. Steering us towards the Burrata appetizer. I ordered a pasta dish, the ragu with braised beef and veal. It was very good. I would definitely order it again. All the pasta is made in house. My husband ordered the steak with Verde salsa. It was cooked nicely. They also brought out the pistachio ricotta cake with coconut, it was delicious. After dinner, we had time to kill. We wanted to soak in the views and incredible ambience, so we took a drink, and walked to the outdoor couches. We just sat and enjoyed the evening. Both of us forgot we were in Austin. If you're looking for a mini vacation, even if it's just for the dinner hour, take the gorgeous drive, enjoy really good service, live music, amazing views, and ambience, your partner. This dinner was not lost on me. One I will re-create time and time again...

Service was slow at first but picked up a little. Very good drinks. Food was good as well

Kitchen was a little slow but worth the freshest meals Dani the server was awesome!
