    Innovative dishes that work well most of the time. Excellent cocktails but red wine by the glass is hit or miss. Shrimp bolognese, gnocchetti and house made bread and cultured butters are excellent. Cucumber salad is a little bland and the chocolate “chip” dessert is just okay. The blackberry sorbet with salted cream is amazing. Service is mostly excellent.

    What a lovely evening! From the minute we walked in, it was service with a smile. True hospitality and we thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor patio seating. On a nice breezy evening, we savored our drinks and some exquisitely crafted food. We will definitely visit again. Thank you for an experience that we will remember forever!

    1,000/10 … the food and cocktails were so good I could have cried, and the service was top notch. Will definitely make this a regular stop when I’m in Austin

    This place was fantastic. The food was great and the service was impeccable. Their drinks were pretty good too.

    I didn't take a ton of pics, but I will add that the desserts were perfection. The chocolate powered chips plate was unexpected and surprisingly great.

    It doesn't look that appealing in the pic, but your taste buds will be pleasantly rewarded by ordering it.

    My husband and I went for a special birthday dinner, and E&R did not disappoint. We both had the tasting menu, which was incredible; I opted for the wine pairings, and my non-drinking husband had a couple different non-alcohol interesting drinks that were offered. Our sommelier was amazing, I loved the wine selections. Every course was a delight - I've put in a few photos - some we ate so quickly that a photo wasn't possible! The entire staff is attentive, knowledgeable and seem to take great pride in what they present. Our every need was seen to, and we felt very special on a special occasion. Bravo!

    Just discovered this restaurant right on Rainey street. The food is amazing! We particularly loved Cacio e pepe but really everything was delicious and at high level of presentation. The dishes looked very appetizing and beautiful. The staff is also very nice and professional. We are definitely coming back!
    P.S. That watermelon lime sorbet was 10/10 !!!
