Martin coming to Austin and San Antonio:)

Martin, give me some time to look at the calendar some more. This is the weekend after Keels and Wheels. But, we should be able to rustle up some tour guides for you and your sweetie. Will you have a rental car? What kind of food do you like? More later.

 

Martin,

Not sure if you are looking for suggestions in Austin or SA, so here goes:

For Austin
There is a classice Austin Tex Mex place called Matt’s El Rancho.
For fun head down to 6th St. Lots of bars, jazz clubs, etc.

For San Antonio

For fine dining go to Bigas on the Bank. Very good, very nice, and very expensive.

For fun go to Dick’s Last Resort on the River. Great place for beer, good food and lost of fun. Last time I was there everyone got into a huge paperwad fight.

Hope this helps.

Austin - The Oasis is up on the cliffs over looking Lake Travis, food so so, sunset and drinks are great!!

 

Got to agree w/ Alan, the Oasis is the place to go in Austin if you've never been. Sit on the deck, have dinner and a margarita, then after the sun sets head to 6th Street.

The Hula Hut on Lake Austin is a pretty good second choice, and it's a lot closer.

Both are pretty touristy, but you ARE tourists!

 

You'll get all the help you need here in big Tex. Restaurant suggestions & even some feedback on your interested property. Are you starting a dealership in TX? Or are you moving to TX?

Why don't you just extend the visit to Dallas?

 

If your going to be in Austin awhile, you gotta check this place out.

Martin, are you relocating to Texas or just buying property?

 

I went to Hula Hut Thursday night and after waiting 80 minutes for a table I left. The view is better than the food and I'd had enough of the view by then.

The best Mexican food in Austin is at Enchiladas y Mas on Anderson Lane. I also like Fonda San Miguel for upscale and Guerro's Taco Bar on SoCo for downscale.

The best sushi is in the Warehouse district at Kenichi. 6th Street is for college age kids and the older folks hang out on 4th.

Lake Travis has lots of neat places to eat and check out the scenery. I like Carlos N Charlies and the Oasis is always fun to get a drink at and watch the sunset. Fins is floating on the water and usually has a live band and lots of nice boats tied up.

Wow! I love Austin!!

Keeping it weird,
Kelly

 

Driskill Grille at the Driskill hotel in Austin(chef is one of 10 upcoming young chefs in Food and Wine or one of those mags), La Reve in SA on river.
Biga in SA has nice food, but service blows every time I go there.
4Seasons in Austin has nice restaurant too. Silo in SA is in iffy neighborhood, but food is great. PM if you need details.
FWIW

Well, give a shout out, when the date gets closer!!!!

I'm going to retire to Austin to run a topless parasail business at Lake Travis.

We're gonna use a long enough rope to reach the deck at the Oasis as we go by!!!!

 

Sorry to disagree with you, but I conside Mat's el Rauncho to be one of the worse Mexican food places anywhere....my opinion.

Excelent places to eat in and around Austin:

Cienna: loop 360 and 2222
Jeffrey's: west loop
Hudsen's on the bend
Fonda san Muguel
Ruth's Chris steak house
Dan McLuskies

 

What about the Crown & Anchor? I haven't been there in years but they had the best veggie burger I ever had.

 

Martin;
Had dinner at UCHI last night. Very, very good asian/sushi.
Take it from me, I know. BTW saw a very handsome red 348 ts. Could be my next car, next year. I'll be back in florida tomorrow night. Bring a sweater for the nights.

 

Too late Martin. I am in Nice, France today. Going to Italy tomorrow.
