Always a great experience here. The wait staff is always attentive. The drinks are always flowing and delicious. The food and appetizers are always fresh and on point. I haven’t had a Bad experience here at any point. They should have a frequent guest discount or cocktail.

Guest House was an amazing experience from start to finish! The vibe and atmosphere were incredible - warm, welcoming, and full of charm that made our date night an eventful experience. The Alice in Wonderland themed drinks were creative and beautifully presented, adding such a fun and whimsical touch. We started off with the crab cake, caviar salmon cones and spicy rigatoni which were all phenomenal beginners. We also had Cesar salads for the table and I opted for The Wagu rib eye and my husband with the short rib which were all perfectly cooked and full of flavor, also the bread was some of the best I've ever had. Great service, great energy, and a place I'll definitely be coming back to!

Uchiba Austin is really tasty! The food was delicious and our server Ivy was fantastic. She was friendly, knowledgeable and provided top notch service. The atmosphere is definitely lively, busy and quite loud. The tables are close enough that we could hear every word of the conversation next to us, so if you’re looking for a quiet intimate evening, this probably isn’t the spot. But if you’re looking for a fun energetic and bustling atmosphere, Uchiba is a great choice. Overall, great food and excellent service!

Outstanding selection of Oysters... we tried four different selections and each one were some of the best we've eaten in Austin. The menu has something for everyone and now that we are going to make this a regular stop, we can't wait to try them all. Exceeded the Hype!

    Genuinely was impressed by the quality of food. For years I’d been searching for quality Italian food that would rival the nostalgia I carry from eating Italian up north in New York and New Jersey. I really enjoyed my bolognese and the cheese cake, the Bacon and Brie was excellent as well. Will recommend, and will stop back in after a viewing at HEB Center.

    It was my date night for us and choice to try out the Peached Tortilla and it was amazing! Aniyah was our server and she was very diligent and took great care of us. We tried to the duck roll, the Brussels, and shared the skirt steak and everything was so delicious! We are excited to go back and eventually try everything on the menu.

    The flavor combinations are exciting on the page, then even better on the tongue. The ahi tuna and the potato with roe were just amazing. And the chips and dips…ya gotta get it! So crunchy and delish. We sat inside but the outside area looks really gorgeous.
