About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for brunch
  • Charming
Nightcap was originally conceived as a place for sweet sustenance and sparkling cocktails. Since then, we have evolved into so much more. Our space is now known as a late night, date night spot for guests and friends alike. The cozy atmosphere is welcoming, romantic and is also a great place to dine solo. It’s a space to make new friends, enjoy some incredibly tasteful food and cocktails that aim to please. Nightcap carries an old school Austin vibe that is hard to be classified as a bar or restaurant. We like to consider ourselves as a nightly dinner party at your friends house. The idea is to come over, have a great time and let us clean up afterwards. On special occasions, glitter is our favorite color that is often paired with bubbles. We hope you join us for any occasion and truly enjoy your evening.

    I was sad to come back after so many years to experience such a decline in service and food. Bartender was friendly upon arrival. Server that was also the hostess was overwhelmed as she was the only one on the entire floor for the first hour we were there. Charcuterie was such a disappointment beyond words. They tried but you could tell they were understaffed and it was just wasn’t what it used to be on this particular occasion.

    Ellie greeted us and took us to a nice table, and helped us pick happy hour selections. Dinner was delicious and we ordered 3 appetizers so the entree came later, all perfectly timed. The food was amazingly good with lots of flavor- we had very little to take home :) We had two desserts (as we could not decide) and they were okay but not fabulous. It feels like Nightcap is evolving and finding their place and I’m happy to return to be a part of their journey. Oh and Ellie picked the music, created the playlist, and it brought me a lot of happy memories of the mid 80s which I loved sharing tidbits about :) All in all a great meal, ambiance, and drinks. I’ll be back soon!

    We absolutely loved our brunch on Sunday and can't wait to go back. Christin is the best! She made our girls' day even better with her fabulous personality. The drinks are fun, the food is good, the place is awesome, and the service was Amazing!!! We were sitting outside and Christin brought out lavender and lemon scented ice-water towels to drape on our necks! I can't wait to go back again!!!

    Wife and I ate here on a Friday night date. The service was great and the vibe and atmosphere was electric. The food was decent. We had the burrata appetizer and that was fantastic. There was a mixture of sweet and salty flavors which mixed extremely well. We also had the market fish which on this day was wahoo fish. I felt like it was a bit on the dryer side and not as “melty” as I like me fishes to be. I guess most wahoo fish is like this because I have had wahoo elsewhere before and it had the same texture. The pasta/vegetable side that it came with was also decent. Overall the meal tasted good. It felt healthy even though that wasn’t what I was going for. But if you’re into wahoo then I’d recommend it. My wife had the potato gnocchi and she didn’t like it as much but I had her remainders and I loved it. To each their own. Server was amazing and very friendly. The other appetizers on the menu looked great and the drinks look great so we may be back with some friends in the future to take advantage of those things!
