LENOIR

Thoroughly enjoyed everything about this place. Food was delicious and flavorful. Favorites: Pullman bread (pictured), linguini, and fried cauliflower. Loved the South Austin Iced Tea cocktail (chai) as well! Service was great. Emma was super attentive, patient, and gave great recs. Atmosphere was lovely too!

Absolutely will return to Lenoir. Truly loved everything we ate - crab fingers were so unique and the linguini with garlic caramel was incredible. The sunchokes were actually our favorite. Blue corn hush puppies were good but can be skipped. Lots of orange wine on the menu and a really fun outdoor area. Just make sure it’s good weather outside and that you’re okay with only wine and beer.

Had the three course dinner. Tasted great. It was a little high price, but it was for our anniversary.

I absolutely love Lenoir. The food is warm weather food inspired by climates similar to Austin with a rotating menu. Several mainstays include the house Pullman bread served with the best pimento cheese and chow chow, the blue corn and pecan hush puppies, and the crab fingers. The rest of the menu alternates depending on the season and offers a variety of options for any dietary lifestyle. I dined last night with my vegan friends and they were amazed by the options, calling the current linguine the best food they'd had this year (and they live in New York City, which feels like that's saying something). They also have an expansive wine and wine based cocktail list that has a bottle/glass for any palette. The service is one of the best in the city with a dedication to providing quality guest experience and a fine dining experience at a reasonable price point. The restaurant has two options for dining, either inside in the converted bungalow or outside in the wine garden. Both are unique and different experiences to behold. Perfect for any occasion and would highly recommend for celebrations.

Great wine with amazing quality small plates! That paired with the ambiance makes this place a perfect spot for date night!
