Fantastic French restaurant, mostly outdoor. Sexy, smooth, luscious...these aren't words you'd normally use to describe a restaurant, but Justine's is that restaurant. Mostly outdoor seating, fantastic drinks, good food, and above all, a sexy French ambiance.

Justine's is magical. Hands down, the most authentic place to dine in Austin. Aesthetically original, the food tells the story as does the vibe...go if you can and you will not forget the embrace, as it will linger...

The level of the "background" music made it tough to hear anyone at the table. I asked the waitstaff to turn it down but it didn't seem to make much of a difference. Food and service was great as always, one of our fav places to eat. Keep up the great work!

Hosted my birthday dinner at Justine’s. It was such an outstanding experience. It is always difficult to accommodate large parties at restaurants, but the staff did so with such grace and it felt very special. Very grateful for the Justine’s team! Food, wine, cocktails, atmosphere, everything was 10/10! Has easily been my favorite restaurant in Austin for years. Consistently outstanding.

Lovely spot to have a bachelorette group of 7 girls for cocktails, food and conversation. We sat outside on the covered patio & they had misters going that kept things relatively cool in the 100+ degree heat.

5/6 of the oysters were tasty, but the 6th was clearly from an older batch and tasted downright disgusting. And it wasn't just an unfamiliar species bc the one I had before it, which was the same species, was fine. What's more is that when I brought it to the waiter's attention, thinking the kitchen would probably like to know, she seemingly didn't care. Aside from that the food and service were fine (steak cooked perfectly), but I have to say, I've paid less for much better. The ambiance was amazing though!

Last time we ate at Justine's it was an amazing experience. This time, they dropped several of our dishes in the kitchen (OK, stuff like this happens), but then served the meals in a disjointed fashion to our group in three separate deliveries over 20 minutes apart. The food was also not as good as last time. I am willing to get it another try because the scene is great.

My favorite restaurant in Austin since the day it opened! The food and drinks are beautiful, the ambience is perennially next level (as is the music), and the space itself - with its chandeliers, French table tops, and art-lined walls - simultaneously transports you to another, more decadent world, while feeling as comfortable as home. Merci Justine's for being you!

I’ve never seen more pleasant waitstaff as what we experienced at Justine’s. Our waitress was so pleasant, she seemed to be having a great time waiting on us, and she was very helpful with our meal and wine selections. Another young lady brought vases and water for the flowers my daughter gave me for Mother’s Day, and all our food came out at the same time! The experience was all wonderful! Way to go Justine’s!!!

This is my first poor review on Open Table. I booked reservations to celebrate my fiancés birthday. She’s celebrated her birthday here for several years and until tonight, this was her favorite. However, this will be our last. We’ve never worked with a restaurant that is so unwilling to accommodate even a small request; regardless of the circumstances. We didn’t ask for anything unusual. At every step, it was like our mere presence was an inconvenience. Service was poor. Most of the staff were rude. And the food was “OK” at best. Certainly not worth putting up with everything else. And to add insult to injury, they added a 30% gratuity to the check. They should have paid us for the harassment. Needless to say, we will no longer eat here or celebrate any special occasion.

From the moment we walked into Justine's, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance. The restaurant's French-inspired decor and dim lighting created a romantic and intimate atmosphere, perfect for a date night or a special occasion. As for the food, we were blown away by the quality and flavors of every dish we ordered. The steak frites were cooked to perfection, with tender and juicy meat and crispy fries that were seasoned just right. The bolognaise was equally impressive, with a rich tomato sauce and perfectly al dente pasta. But what really stole the show were the Espresso Martinis - the best we've ever had! The balance of espresso and alcohol was spot on, and the drink had a smooth and velvety texture that made it dangerously easy to drink. Overall, Justine's is a must-visit restaurant for anyone looking for a delicious and memorable dining experience. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, the ambiance was cozy and inviting, and the food and drinks were exceptional. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!

Made a reservation for 6 of my girlfriends on my birthday. Service was really the only disappointment this time. Staff seated us 30 minutes after our reservation time of 8:30. Food was a bit slow, so it was after 11pm until we could leave. Waitress was wonderful; but, was a little odd when she brought out one candle to sing happy birthday LOL. So, no comped dessert for a birthday dinner. Food was excellent as usual!
