Best Restaurants for Groups in Central Austin

What a memorable night! It was worth the wait of having to make a reservation months in advance. We dined on a Friday evening and there was such a synergy to the entire restaurant. Even the Chef on expo looked so at ease with tickets flying in, he stopped and said hi to a smiling baby. Our server Kevin made us feel welcomed and as if we were the only table he was serving, just flawless. The steak cut like butter, it was perfect and highly recommend. The gnocchi reminded me of the last time I was in Italy, just delicious fluffy pillows. Our 9 year old had the Bolognese and it was bursting with flavor which was unexpected but delightful. We also had the meatballs and garlic bread, a perfect way to start the meal. Save room for dessert, you will not be disappointed. The only criticism was that our table was by the entry door and it was drafty and cold. I had to keep my jacket on during dinner, but other than that we look forward to returning in March!

Overall great dining experience including fantastic service and dishes that were both visually creative and delicious. Has a club lounge vibe, but not overpowering

Wonderful food, as usual, first time at this location and the noise level is definitely better than Uchi!!

Had a cozy and wonderful time at Prelude. The drinks, the vibe, the food was a 10/10. I highly recommend a date here.

Girls’ night party of 4 went out on a Monday night— the entire atmosphere was wonderful and we appreciated the hospitality!
