   Wow! We just had THE BEST time dining at Blind Salamander. The food was so incredible, I LOVED their Halibut special. It was a clever take on a fish and chips. Also, Barry very professional and kind. He did a great job taking care of us! We will be back!

   This restaurant is constantly providing a great atmosphere, food, and service. Peyton (host) so engaging and welcoming. She wished us a happy anniversary and sat us at a great table with a view of the hills. Will, our server just went above and beyond to truly make our evening memorable. We had the daily special (Carribean fried red snapper). What! It was fantastic. Then Michael, (the gm) came over and thanked us for choosing their restaurant to dine for our anniversary. He was very sweet. We live locally and always come to dine in this hidden gem at the Omni Barton Creek. If you live in Austin, you have to come here. This place always delivers. Also, oysters are the best in town by far.

   Food and service always excellent at Blind Salamander. Texas Redfish was delicious as was salmon dip appetizer. Catch of the day was a Caribbean snapper that was fried. Flavor and presentation was amazing. Steven was our server and was very engaging.

   The food was fantastic! I was pleasantly surprised since I have not had great experiences at hotel restaurants (usually the food is not very good and is way overpriced). I had the saffron risotto and my husband had the chicken fried fish. The drinks were also very yummy. I highly recommend eating at the Blind Salamander if you are staying at the Omni.

    Omg this place is awesome, from the views of the Austin Hill Country, the service (thank you Will), and to the fresh seafood. This place is a hidden gem in Austin. Also, thank you to Michael (the gm) for checking in to make sure my wife and I are enjoying a wonderful experience and stay at Omni. We will definitely be back!

    We had a lovely meal at The Blind Salamander. Service was excellent. We enjoyed cocktails, salads, our seafood entrees, and creme brûlée for dessert. My dining companion is gluten-free, and there were plenty of options that accommodate that. We both literally ate every bite. We enjoyed the beautiful views right from our table and the quiet atmosphere allowed for conversation. Outdoor dining options look fantastic, but it was too hot for us to take advantage of that in July.

    Gorgeous view of the green belt and the golf courses at Barton Creek. Nestled inside the resort, the Blind Salamander majors on the fundamentals of fine dining. Great ingredients, done with excellence. A bit pricey for what it is, but worth checking it out!

    Everything was 5 stars except for the ambiance. Our server Will had great suggestions and was very attentive. The manager was very accommodating when we requested to move from outdoor seating to indoor. The chef did a great job. The blending of ingredients were very creative and an epicurean experience . The setting is very elegant and the outdoor seating would have been perfect except for the flies and the bugs that were flying around the table while we were eating. I know it’s part of nature but I just wish there were bug and fly repellents around so that the customers would enjoy the elegant surroundings and landscape it offers. We are not from Austin but I will definitely eat here again when we are in the area.

    Blind Salamander doesn’t disappoint. Had to try the octopus as I had never eaten it. It didn’t taste like chicken🤭. The ragout it was served on was outstanding. Husband had lamb shank and the bite I had was very good. Our two guests enjoyed their meals as well. Caroline was our server and as usual she was attentive and had all the answers when we asked. When we are at Barton Creek we always have a meal at Blind Salamander. The manager, Michael is always on top of things and makes you feel welcome. Still wish they would bring back the quail (wink wink) Btw, the Rock Star martini was fab.

    We live nearby so this is a regular stop for us. It can be pricey, so we do save it for mainly special occasions. This last visit was our anniversary and we enjoyed spending it here outdoors on the patio with gorgeous view. Our server was excellent and attentive, and we also got a free dessert that said “happy anniversary.” We appreciated that they made it special.
