Eater: This tucked-away East side bistro is well worth the trip for its romantic outdoor space, well-executed classic French cuisine, & reasonably-priced wine list. [Eater 38 Member]
Zac Snider: Awesome French restaurant on the east side. A bit romantic.
Emily Charlton: A perfect spot for an intimate dinner. Some of the best French food in Austin, hands down.

Music Venue · 20 tips and reviews
Megan Russell: Great little venue. Went to the Quiet Company show here back in June and it was the perfect setting for an intimate show.
Matthew K: Cool backyard with live music. Great intimate indoor space for a sweaty beer covered live music experience as well.
Do512: Love the location, love the patio, love it all. Especially excited for the lineup here during SXSW - check it! do512.com
Kat Egan: Gorgeous, intimate spot. Pretend your hanging with the Stones in the mid 70's in a mansion in the UK countryside. Easy rider cocktail is fantastic.
Matt Haughey: Room 8 is up at the very top, great view and romantic little getaway for two in the heart of Austin
Mark Ziehr: A fantastic stay - lovely accommodations - delicious food. Only draw back were the mosquitoes.

Steakhouse · North Shoal Creek · 61 tips and reviews
Irina: Very atmospheric, with Godfather flare, a bit dark, but good for a cocktail and an intimate conversation.
Kurt Weisenberger: Ask to sit in a booth in the bar if you're a couple. Great service and a window. Grilled artichoke is excellent when they have it. Can't go wrong with the famous French Dip!
Kitjer: Hamburger, French dip, fish sandwich, salmon appetizer - all great options still. Ribs are good - always a good backpocket option, Bartlett's is.

Speakeasy · Downtown Austin · 76 tips and reviews
Jenny Stewart: A hidden gem. Delicious (and strong) craft cocktails in an intimate setting. The building has an interesting story! Bookable small rooms out back for 5-8 people, plus they have a small terrace.
Kyle Bunch: How can you go wrong with a former massage parlor/brothel converted to a speakeasy from the people behind the Drafthouse? NOTE: Have to visit midnightcowboymodeling.com for reservations.
Tom Inglesias: Some of the best cocktails in Austin. Worth the find! I spotted this place on my Supper app: http://supper.mx/places/midnight-cowboy-austin/

American Restaurant · Old West Austin · 23 tips and reviews
Ginger Courtney: Great service. Food, wine, and cocktails are perfect!
Austin Chronicle: Exceptionally good food at heart-stopping prices: You could drop 100 bucks for a single – and delicious – dry-aged steak. The must-have made-to-order soufflés take 20 minutes to make, so plan ahead. Read more.
Epicurious: The bar menu offers items tailor-made to the solo diner-like the iceberg salad and a smaller sized dry-aged bar steak (served with excellent pommes puree). Read more.

Seafood Restaurant · Old West Austin · 71 tips and reviews
Austin Chronicle: A luxurious menu is matched by an adventurous wine list and an intimate, bistro feel. Don’t skip the house-baked bread: It’s stunningly good, especially when dipped in the Mussels & Clams wine broth. Read more.
Jenny Sorensen: Some of the absolute best seafood in Austin! Great cocktails too! Found it on this sweet new app: http://supper.mx/places/clarks-oyster-bar-austin/
Sujei Sierra: If you love raw fish I highly recommend the ceviche (left) and the sashimi plate (right). The fish is very high-quality.

Irina: Superb service, supreme food, and an intimate atmosphere make this place a winner. I am coming back for seconds!
Rob Imig: Love the rolls. Shag and Crunchy Tuna were great. Grilled eel was also superb.
Austin Chronicle: A trip to Uchiko is a treat for the senses, with creative flavor pairings in dishes like rosemary-smoked duck with candied citrus or pork-belly-and-egg sushi. Decor is almost too beautiful to look at. Read more.
