Austin
Driskill Grill
The Driskill Grill, located in the luxury hotel of the same name on the corner of Congress Avenue and 6th Street in downtown Austin, retains in its wood paneling, etched glass, and plush chairs (with embroidered stars to remind guests which state they are in) the turn-of-the-century flair envisioned by the wealthy cattle baron whose name is on the building. The Driskill Grill offers farm-to-table cuisine highlighting locally sourced produce and meat. Popular dishes include the lobster bisque and the dry-aged ribeye with bleu cheese and fingerling potatoes.
Insider Tip:
For adventurous diners curious to see what goes on in the kitchen, the Driskill Grill offers a chef’s table for up to six in the midst of the action with a custom tasting menu.
