Nightcap

Good vibes, sup par food. The ambiance of the place is super cute, it's like you're in an old but hip house with modern decor, a nice bar, and ample tables. They are usually busy so I highly recommend having a reservation. Our waitress was very off putting, interrupted our conversation several times and this was in a quick span of time. We felt very rushed and didn't really get much in the way of suggestions for what to eat. We ordered the charcuterie board which was very lack luster and honestly not very tasty! I had the grilled cheese as my main and it was very dry and actually almost cold upon being served. The drinks were good, and we enjoyed the shrimp appetizer, but I don't think I'd come back.

Good food and vibes!The restaurant seems more low key - not super busy and not super noisy- so it could be good for a larger party. The setting is intimate and the Christmas decor is delightful. The story of the establishment was wonderful to hear - the house used to be the owner's chiropractor's office, and her husband is the one who develops the recipes if I remember that correctly. The cocktail menu is quite amusing and crude, so maybe not the place to bring your parents if they are prude Food was good, although only a few dishes truly "hit" for me. They said the menu changes seasonally - makes it appealing to come back again!We tried the following: 1. Brussel sprouts: good!2. Burrata: loved the apricots!! Wish it cane with more bread3. Arancini: the sauce was really good but wasn't a huge fan of this dish4. BBQ shrimp: my favorite and it came with bread drenched in a pool of oil. Wish it had more shrimp included3. Potato Gnocchi: I think I'm more of a pasta gnocchi girl and not a potato gnocchi girl, but the butternut squash puree was delish!4. Nightcap burger: very tasty!Service was good!! You can find free street parking surrounding the restaurant.I would come back to try their happy hour!

Perfect spot for a date night/hanging out. Their cocktails are sooooo good!! It's a woman owned business and the owner Christin is absolutely a delight. She's put her heart and soul into this place to make it a luxury den! I love that they have small vegan bites besides the chic ambiance! Can't say enough about this place - a must try in Austin!

Super mixed emotions about my visit last night. Not being an Austin native, someone that lives here recommended this spot to us. Super cozy ambience in here must admit. The staff 10/10. The food is what I'm giving this spot a 3 stars instead of 5. We started off with a Cheese & Charcuterie board. Nothing crazy about it. Great appetizer to start with. My main entree was a Roasted chicken that was on top if some sort of sauce & a red sauce. The white sauce reminded me like some sort of yogurt. Red sauce mixed with the white sauce balanced out and had a better taste as I dipped my chicken too. Chicken was good, crispy skin and seasoned well. Now, this plate had a bunch of radishes that just didn't find it good also for the arugula. Menu claims to have roasted bell peppers and pecans. I didn't see any of it, must've been blended into that red sauce I mentored earlier. Second dish was a Night Cap burger. Pretty good burger must say. Super juicy, can't really mess up a burger. Patties were just a tad bit salty which had me drinking water after each bite. The fries that came along were mediocre. Lastly, dessert. By our waiter he recommended their Banana Foster pudding. I could tell it wasn't made fresh that day of because the bananas were definitely ripened. They had a dark color to it. Also what was interesting was that this dessert felt like it had some sort of nutmeg spice or even cinnamon that I felt like it was overpowering the whole dessert itself. Not enjoyable at all. Overall, I had better expectations for the food itself. Stated before the staff were great. Nothing towards them, super attentive throughout the experience. I might come back to try different food options and maybe their cocktails in the future.

Perfect spot for a cute happy hour date with a friend. Their cocktails are amazing and their HH bites super tasty - we got the charcuterie board for $15 when it's usually double.The layout is very neat as well, with an intimate indoor bar in what feels like a OG austin home. Highly recommend this place!

Diner Beware! Nightcap charges for a large rock in your drink and won't tell you ahead of time when they ask if you want one.

Austin has too many places to go to instead of going here, stay away! The food was terrible, the service was horrible, and the vibe was that of a bunch of losers crying into their drinks. If you want to have a good time, you can literally go anywhere else but here. Seriously, don't waste your time nor your money.

Great ambience, amazing cocktails and delicious food choicesI personally love the bar experience at happy hour, watching my cocktail being prepared and diving into the Brussels sprouts followed by the best smashburger. The varied seating that includes an outdoor patio is perfect for small groups and allows conversation. Check it out- you won't be disappointed!

Manager was extremely rude and was super degrading. Came with a large group and he came outside to lecture us and yell at us as if he was a teacher. We were nothing but respectful the entire time and they were mad that we ordered more than 2 rounds of drinks. He claimed we were "barking" at him and the bartender. Will not ever be returning- and do not recommend for groups larger than 4 unless you don't mind getting one drink every 45 minutes and getting yelled and degraded by a middle aged man. Waitresses were AMAZING. We made sure to tip well still for her. She was a doll and she was the only good part out of the experience.

Bartender is a douchebag. Made a reservation for 24 people and ensured that we would be drinking heavily prior to an event. Bartender proceeded to say we "barked at him" for drinks? If ordering ahead of time because of his super slow service in mixology to save time than shoot me. They claim to make craft cocktails but it took 25 minutes a drink. Embarrassing and overpriced. Don't come.
