About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
Luxury takes root in the heart of Austin at Nido, bringing the charm of the area together with the culinary techniques of coastal Europe, all perched above Lady Bird Lake and the energetic cityscape.

Nido is located on the rooftop of The Loren at Lady Bird Lake - recently named by Conde Nast Traveller and Travel & Leisure Magazine as "one of the hottest hotel openings in the world." Nido nods to the surrounding and native Hill Country, giving diners a one-of-a-kind respite to experience worldly-travel through food. Nido’s selection of carefully crafted, seasonal menus are internationally-inspired with a focus on classical technique.

Reservations are available for inside the dining room and the dining tables in the bar. Lounge seating is available on a walk in basis in the bar and on the terrace for drinks and snacks.

    The place itself is stunning and the ambiance is fist class. The service is amazing and one of the best views in all of Austin. We tried most of the waiter’s recommendations and were left just underwhelmed. For what you are paying the with the serving sizes being small, I expect an amazing culinary experience. And outside of the beef carpacio, the rest was just basic food and flavors.

    An outstanding evening with wonderful food, amazing service and a beautiful view! Nick was our server for the evening. His professionalism and food recommendations were on point. We loved everything. My wife and I enjoyed the patio and the spectacular views overlooking Ladie Bird Lake. I highly recommend Nido for a night not soon forgotten.

    I was there for brunch, and loved it! The restaurant is beautiful, the service attentive and the food was excellent! The potatoes on the brunch menu were to die for! Looking forward to trying their happy hour before going to Zach Theatre.

    Our food was delicious! I highly recommend the summer bean salad in the pistachio cheesecake. Patsy, our waitress was very attentive and made great recommendations.

    Our server Patsy was so welcoming and generous to my husband and I for my birthday dinner. We were given complimentary champagne and loved the food we had. The outdoor view was stunning. The service was even better!

    I have been to Nido several times, but this was my first time to secure a reservation on the patio. It was a beautiful night -- the fans and the misters do the trick to keep you cool in the Texas heat. Our server, Trenton, was a delight -- he made it an even more enjoyable experience.

    The service and ambiance here are both outstanding. We were just disappointed with the value.. the pasta had too much salt and the Bavette was just not worth the $50+ price tag. Also, we were celebrating a birthday and didn’t get the usual complimentary dessert or anything.

    This time, we did the dinner theatre experience with a pre-movie charcuterie pre-fix four course meal and drinks. It was such a great use of their conference room and we had a blast. 10/10
