Randy is great! Came in with our two big dogs and he made sure they had water and that we did too! So kind. Should be standard practice, but no one goes out of their way like that anymore. Thanks Randy!

I was staying in a hotel around the corner and popped in for a drink. It had a pleasant garden vibe, and the drink menu seemed to be really well crafted. My drink was well-made and it’s one of those times where you wish you could sample more from the menu. The bartenders were professional, skilled, and knowledgeable which is so appreciated when it’s a pricier cocktail.

This place is absolutely AMAZING! The chefs were super kind, answered all of our questions and very accommodating. The vibe is totally chill and relaxing, with a sophisticated, effortless vibe. The food was out of this world! Perfectly seasoned, beautiful presentation and each bite kept you wanting more. Thank you for a great experience!

I was really impressed with Bar Fino on Rainey Street. It’s such a great spot for high-quality, well-executed food at very fair prices in Austin.

We ordered the salmon tartare, sourdough flatbread, steak frites, hamburger, and toffee pudding for dessert — and everything was delicious. The standout for me was definitely the sourdough flatbread, it was amazing and a must-order.

My husband especially loved the steak frites and said it’s his number one in Austin right now, which says a lot.

For reference on pricing:
• Steak frites: $30
• Hamburger: $18
• Salmon tartare: $18
• Sourdough flatbread: $8
• Toffee pudding: $8

We left feeling full, happy, and already planning to come back. The bar area is also very cozy with great vibes, perfect for a casual date night or drinks with friends.

Highly recommend checking it out!
