Went here for my birthday with my family. I had a tortilla soup as a starter, it was very good. As a main entree the rosemary skewered pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes. Really enjoyed this meal. Everyone in our party enjoyed what they ordered. From a burger to the Greek Chicken salad. Would recommend to anyone and will be back... More

Everyone loves a good restaurant where they know the ambience is relaxing and homey, service is friendly but professional, and the food is fresh, healthy, and extremely well prepared. Add to all that, an extensive and thoughtful wine list and never a rushed, " time to leave now," feeling. So that's Eastside Cafe in Austin, my all time favorite. To... More

Second time to visit this restaurant. Was in Austin last week for a conference and we had dinner here one night. I had the grilled salmon over fresh spinach and we shared the chocolate almond torte. Food was great, and I enjoyed walking through their garden.

We went here for brunch on a Sunday (three people). Lovely staff, quaint decor, wonderful menu. Everything we all had was excellent. Highly recommend.

This restaurant uses what they produce in their garden so eating there in the winter months was not what I had expected. I am sure that eating there in the springtime would produce a better fare. What we had was delicious, but the menu changes regularly. You can walk to this restaurant from the Cherrywood Neighborhood. I found the service... More

An old favorite that we revisited just yesterday. The food was perfect. The atmosphere was pleasant and calm- even though there were families with infants and children at nearby tables. I believe even the children appreciate the calm atmosphere of the Eastside Cafe. Nothing is outrageously expensive and the quality of the food is top-notch! You will not be disappointed.

Nestled in a cute, quiet neighborhood not far from I-35 is this gem. A remodeled old house is the setting, or during nice weather, choose to sit in the large garden in back with the herbs, greens, and tomatoes used in the kitchen. Sunday brunch here was delightful - each room of the house only seats a few tables, so... More

We had a girls night out planned and wanted a quiet place where we could talk. They have two different seating area and we were directed to the lovely Garden Room. The menu is very different. The waitress pointed us towards her favorites and they were great! The Brie was an awesome starter and could have been a full meal.... More

The organic vegs grown on their own grounds is just one indication of how serious they are about quality. I've never had anything there less than deliciously scrumptious.

Went here with a friend. We had some classic cocktails. I thought their selection of rums, whiskeys and other spirits was some of the best I had seen in most of the places i visited in Austin!
