    We loved our meal and had a great evening. Every single item had great flavor and was perfectly prepared. Our waiter John did a phenomenal job and we left very happy with this experience. Would highly recommend the crispy rice and the fried steamed buns. For proteins, the ribeye was exceptional. The horseradish sauce was strong enough to add flavor while being subtle enough to enhance the beef.

    We made the trip from Fort Worth to Austin to eat at Arlo Grey and we were not disappointed! The space was so inviting and I’m a big fan of all the amazing plants! The menu had a wide variety of options, something for everyone. Every dish came with just a slight twist on what you would normally expect. The Tuna Crudo was absolutely outstanding and delicate. Because of the burrata with sourdough toast, I will be serving pears in some form with my Burrata in the future because of how they complimented each other so well. I will probably have to wood smoke my sourdough too, because that added a layer of complexity that should not be missed in the menu. The House made Fusilli pasta with Confit was the adult version of Mac n Cheese after it has gone to college and gets a graduate degree! The Wagyu steak, with Frits and greens was the star of the protein show! The finest cut and preparation of meat I have ever experienced. The Fried Steamed Buns were an experience all on their own. Lightly sweet, but giving you that crispy texture of a funnel cake, trust me, outstanding! The cocktails were very exciting and so much fun to try. I was a huge fan of the Honeymooners and First Light! The whole team at Arlo Grey helped with the service and Nadia was friendly and welcoming. We can’t wait to come back to see the team again and try some of the other items!

    Service was attentive at first, but once we ordered food, we were ignored. Would have ordered much more to drink, but couldn’t find anyone to help. Food was good, but nothing too exciting or new. Overall we were disappointed.

    This is a beautiful place. The service was impeccable with great attention to detail. The menu was intriguing but I thought it lacked flavor and depth. We had the bruschetta which was rustic and the olive and feta topping was rich and briny which I loved. I wish the bread was more toasty but I’m a girl that’s likes a good crunch. Then we had the fried steamed buns which despite the description were served with a cheese sauce that had broccoli and microgreens. It was beautiful and unique presentation but eating it wasn’t as exciting. Flavors reminded me of broccoli cheese soup and a role. Last we got the halibut and chicken schnitzel. The grilled fennel that came with the halibut was my favorite. The chicken was fried to perfection and had a decent salinity but I would have liked some more flavor in the breading or chicken. The slaw and sauce were lack luster. I would have liked the slaw to have more acidity to cut through the fried chicken and the sauce was reminiscent of bone broth in flavor. Let me be clear, the food was good and the service and ambiance were amazing which made for a nice dining experience but there are just restaurants that have more flavorful food. It was on my list to try and I’m glad I did. Oooh also, if you like cocktails get the Honeymooner. Delicious!!!

    A bit overpriced for the quality. The food was salty, too heavily seasoned--both the fish and the pasta. Is was disappointing. The service was fantastic, however.

    I’ve been to Arlo Grey three times now, and it is one of my favorite places to grab well-crafted cocktails and dine in for decadent food. The food and drinks have been incredible every single time, and the service is consistently outstanding. The atmosphere is chill, classy, and boutique, and the food was carefully thought out with beautiful combinations of flavors. The burrata, crispy rice, and steamed buns are my favorites, and the matcha cake was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to come back soon!

    After making our 8pm reservation for 2 weeks in advance I was surprised to be seated in the bar area at a high top for dinner. Our server was attending a number of large parties and left us with out cutlery and empty water glasses multiple times. Our food was delicious but dropped with out explanation or appropriate silverware (no serving spoons for shared dishes or steak knives for ribeye). This wasn’t the experience I had expected from Arlo Grey!

    Overall a lovely evening. Service was a little mid definitely not bad but would’ve loved some more explanation of the dishes since they are a little inventive or some guiding through the menu. We also had to refill our own wine glasses which might be the norm here and isn’t a huge deal but it is always a lovely addition to service when having a nice dinner. Very spacious layout which is nice for noise levels. Butternut squash was room temp when it arrived. Matcha pistachio ice cream cake was top tier and the burrata with fresh sourdough was the other fave. Valet parking can be validated so it’s only $10 which is nice!

    Started oddly - we were seated and given water… and then left alone for about 30 minutes. I finally got up and asked the hostess if we could get a server. To their credit once they realized their error, Bran and the rest of the staff were very attentive and lovely. They helped with recommendations, and the food was amazing, as were the drinks. I think our favorite was the squash in the garden section of the menu. The view is great too — overall a fantastic anniversary date once we got past the starting hiccup.

    Went there because we love Top Chef, good dining and it was our daughters 16th birthday. It was overall flat and disappointing. I’ve been at far better restaurants and had better service and food. We had to get up and get our own water. We had a very confusing checkout. Ended up getting a call that we had not paid our bill. When I got the receipt they charged us an automatic gratuity for a larger group, that we did not have. I will credit them that after complaining of poor service they did knock $100 off. But still would not give this restaurant another try.

    This is our second time coming to the restaurant, there are several items that were great details to the service like our first visit however the main things that mattered were subpar this time. Food was subpar, lukewarm, over cooked and poorly seasoned. Service waiter was just okay this time and not nearly as attentive as my last visit. My wife and I ended up not finishing full meals and left elsewhere for dessert. We love the concept and dishes but some execution was not what we expect. We raved about it for time and was disappointed
