    Everything we had was perfection! The walnut salad with peaches was exceptionally surprising as each ingredient sang their individual song at peak ripeness; the dressing is light with just enough acid to bring all those heavenly flavors together in one idealized bite. And this was just the salad.

    Austin is rightly revered as a world-class dining city, now featuring Michelin starred restaurants, some of the best BBQ in the world, and a food truck culture that caters for pretty much every single palate out there. For me, standing head and shoulders above all is Foreign and Domestic. Why? Because they genuinely care about every single customer, and cater to them all. The menu is pretty simple, but executed perfectly. The service is familiar, but professional, and the overall experience makes you want to go back, time and again. This sounds overblown, but I've tried a lot of places in ATX, and have yet to find somewhere that is flawless. Foreign and Domestic isn't super fancy, and it's not super cheap, but it's the place you want to go back to, again and again.

    F & D provides a wonderful experience throughout - from the 1st moment you walk in the door to the last moment you walk out! The food is so imaginative, staff are attentive and welcoming and can assist you in picking a fine wine or a special the chef has prepared. The food is so thoughtful and delicious regardless of what you order. Looking forward to the next visit!
