    The food was decent and the restaurant is aesthetic. The service was subpar as the waitress seemed to be displeased with serving and showed little to no expression when reviewing the menu and taking our order. Lastly, the noise level is extremely loud where I had a difficult time hearing those at my table and the tables were sat very close together, making it difficult to get in and out. Overall, the food was decent but the environment made it a hard dining experience.

    Elizabeth Street is one of my Austin go-to spots. I love the macarons and the pork & shrimp crepe, I get it every time. $16 wine pour is on the smaller side. Literally all of the apps are fantastic, you can't go wrong. Parking - 4 spots in front, street side which can be paid on the Park ATX app, and next door in the parking lot where the fee is more expensive. Patio is gorgeous on a nice day, the inside is really loud. I have a hard time sitting inside due to the acoustics and the closeness of the tables - brasserie style. If there is a seat available at the bar, that's my preference if I'm sitting inside. All in all, I love E-Street!

    Never had a bad meal! Didn’t realize we booked for happy hour and it was an amazing deal. Escargot, fried spring rolls, spring roll 10b were all amazing! Decaf vanilla iced latte as a treat! Must try if you haven’t!

    It’s early April so we sat outdoors and it was very quiet. That will not work in August.

    Everything was amazing, all the dishes had incredible flavor and texture, and the service was on point. We got the Poached shrimp spring roll, steamed rice appetizer, ginger dumplings, and the chicken thigh Bun.
