    Foreign & domestic is consistently excellent. Food is constantly changing but some favorites always remain on the menu. Everyone enjoyed their meal and its portion size. The wine selection was good also, if a little pricey!! The house specialty of gruyere and pepper popovers was a little disappointing as they were over done, but the cheese and butter were not melted on top at all. They seemed dry and way too tough. We sat outside and it was a lovely evening just a tad windy. Will we be back again? For sure.

    We had a reservation, but when we got there, we had to wait 25 minutes to get a table. And wait about the same amount of time for food as well.

    If you haven't eaten at Foreign & Domestic, you are missing out. One of our fav restaurants in Austin (may be our fav). The staff works so hard to provide great service and incredible food. Sit at the bar and watch them hard at work to bring you amazing food. Love the ambiance and neighborhood feel. Enjoy!

    What a cute spot! First time here as I passed through Austin this was the restaurant I made a reservation at. The food and wine were great, portions were satisfying, the chairs could have been more comfy, some tables are just sitting on and leaning against wood which my back didn't love after traveling all day. The only complaint I have is the line cooks chose to clean the grills while guests were still present which filled the room with an overwhelming cloud of smoke and aroma that agitated our senses.
