Best Casual Restaurants in Midtown

Best meal we’ve had in quite some time (and we like to treat ourselves to top tier dining in the Austin area)! Everything was so flavorful, I can’t imagine you can order “wrong”. Starter bread with dipping sauces was a delicious warm up to the whole experience. Dinner order was Pan Seared Fish, Lamb chops, Roasted Carrots, Mushrooms, Israeli Salad, Truffle Fries. Drinks were Biscotti Espresso Martini and a bottle of Martin Woods Cabernet Franc. Dessert was Crème Brûlée and Tiramisu. We’ll definitely be back.

Great service, great cocktails, and we really enjoyed the dessert. The apps were very good and the entrees were also very good.

If you only have time to eat at one place while visiting Austin, eat at Paperboy!!!!!!! The food was amazing (damn that secret sauce 🤌🏼✨) BUT S/O the staff, everyone was so nice & great vibes all around!

Amazing from start to finish. Super personable and helpful waitstaff who helped us figure out the menu and must-have items. Vibe was lively but also intimate. Every dish was the best version of that I’ve ever had. Tuna Tiridito was crunchy and creamy. Fish tacos light and fresh. Zarandeado was a knockout - smoky. Guava cheesecake was rich, but with a good textural balance with the candied pepitas. Can’t wait to come back

Excellent food and atmosphere. It was lively, if not a little loud. We had four items, including the ceviche, brisket tacos, flautas, and sweet potatoes. I would recommend all. They were all super flavorful. The balance of potatoes and duck in the flautas was a little off (too much potato) which made it a little bland, but the mole sauce hit the mark and helped round out the flavor. We would definitely return and try other items.
