Hestia Austin Reviews from The Last Year
Great service, ambiance, spot and food.
Been here couple of time now and this is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin.
Maîre d' James went beyond our belief for my friend's
Maîre d' James went beyond our belief for my friend's birthday. Unlike any restaurant we have experienced before. Truly loved his attention to detail to making her night memorable. Service is stellar! Like an orchestra in concert with each other. Staff didn't have to say much to one another to have the restaurant flow perfectly. Loved seeing their organization. Food was delicious. I recommend the tarts, the scallop, bread & butter with jam, and halibut. Drinks were tasty! The architecture and design of the building is beautiful. Love the trees in the background, feels like you are floating in them. The first smell you experience is the hearth and that sets the tone. This is a special occasion restaurant so expect a pricey night that is well worth it.
I love the creativity behind every dish.
We ordered off the menu (just two of us) and were not disappointed. My fish dish was a tad salty but nothing fatal. My biggest concern, though, is that the sommelier left the table to open the wine. Eek! Probably not a big deal to most people, but that's a big no-no in the wine world. And six weeks later I'm still thinking about it. Loved the birthday buñuelo.
Hestia was an unforgettable experience.
Went there recently with my wife and friends. Ambiance was unique. Restaurant was nice and modern and you could smell the smoke from the wood fired open-hearth cooking as soon as you entered. One of the things that stood out from this restaurant was the service you receive there. It was the best service I have received period. From the hosts, the servers, chefs, and even owners, everyone treats you like you are a VIP. It seemed like everyone working there truly wants to be there and that means a lot. We ordered a little bit of everything and our favorite dish was definitely the scallops cooked in beef tallow. The scallops were succulent and rich with meaty beef flavor from the tallow. Felt like you were eating a steak! Beets were delicious too and the pan de cristal was probably the best bread I've had at a restaurant. Appetizers were all 10/10 but if I had to choose one dish that really stood out it would definitely be the scallops. Entrees: we ordered the pork chops, halibut, and lions main mushrooms. Unfortunately this is where they lost a star from me personally. I know taste is subjective but I was just not impressed with the dry aged pork chops. I asked them to cook the dish how they recommended it, which was medium rare. The meat just did not have a wow factor. Maybe it was due to the dry aged process but I like my meats juicy and this fell short of my expectations. Wife ordered the lions mane mushrooms and it was almost perfect. Only thing I would ask them to change next time is to reduce the saltiness. Felt like the mushrooms really absorbed all the flavors of the dish well but it was just too salty to enjoy on its own as a main entree. Desserts: We ordered 3 different desserts and while they were all good the sour dough ice cream is a must order item. It was probably the most interesting dessert I've ever had in my life. Not saying it was the best tasting, or my favorite dessert but it really challenged your perspective on what a dessert could be. Just order it and you'll see what I mean. All in all this place is definitely a restaurant I would recommend for a special occasion or a fun night out with friends. Hats off to the staff and I thank them for an unforgettable experience.
First time here and LOVE this restaurant! Everything was
First time here and LOVE this restaurant! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The staff were so gracious and treated everyone in my party like we were royalty. The menu is daring and delicious. I'm not sure how often the menu changes, but highly recommend the halibut, the caviar cornbread, the green beans, and the sourdough ice cream is not to be missed. The music and lighting were great. The bathroom was super clean and smelled nice. Parking was easy- garage nearby and the restaurant validated it. Most definitely will be back!
worst food experience I've had 600$ and left hungry and
worst food experience I've had 600$ and left hungry and pissed off. Worst tasting menu over priced hype
My fiance treated me to Hestia for my birthday.
It was both our first time dining here and we were both very impressed. The ambiance is very dark, moody, and sexy. The open fire in the kitchen was beautiful and the hustle in the open kitchen was fun to watch. The wine and spirits list was impressive. I ordered an old fashioned with Basil Hayden dark rye which was smooth, sweet, and just a touch of spiciness. We shared the pan de cristal which is freshly baked sourdough and a side of strawberry compote butter. We also shared two entrees: the halibut and the berkshire pork chop. Our server explained that the halibut was delicately cooked to perfection and in browned butter. Browned butter makes anything 10x better! The pork chop was cooked medium rare which we weren't sure of but I'm glad we were wrong. The outside had just a touch of crusty char and the inside was so soft-- you probably don't even need teeth to chew it. It was indeed as our server described, "the wagyu beef of pork". Overall my experience at Hestia was wonderful from the friendly and knowledgable service to the overall ambiance. Treat yourself or loved one to this unique dining experience.
Expensive for the quality Birthday celebration for our son
Expensive for the quality Birthday celebration for our son and we read all the reviews and was looking forward but were disappointed. The food is mediocre at best and the staff tries too hard to sound articulate but comes across as not genuine. We paid well over $500 and were not satisfied. Drinks are good but not the best. Started with Oysters and tomato tart. I would skip the tart and the oysters are from the gulf coast, so that should say enough. We had 3 small plates and those were decent. The beet salad, beef tartare, and Kampachi. Beef tartare was actually very good. The halibut is the best option on main menu. Our server was ok but not the best. Seems to be too much in a hurry and rushed us. My biggest pet peeve is when the server picks up the bill before we are done! It's extremely rude and after the cost I wasn't expecting to be rushed out. Portions are small and way overpriced. There is not much to Hestia and would not recommend.
It is a rare treat when your first visit to a restaurant is
It is a rare treat when your first visit to a restaurant is 100% perfect. Tonight was one of these. The smells, atmosphere and general vibe set this restaurant apart. Walking in your senses are lit up with the lovely sell of smoke permeating the air. Then the main event comes... the food! We started with a half dozen oysters with a perfect combination of chili oil and jalapeño topping. Each bite was packed with flavor and just the right amount of heat. We then had 2 small plates. The scallops and the beets respectively. The beets were refreshing and tasty. And the scallops... these are beyond good! Perfect sear and accompanied by an amazing topper. Hats off to the server who delivered them mentioning to drink up the left over topping right from the shell. We did not let a drop get missed. We then shared the halibut. Another perfect item. I'll let the picture of this one do the talking. Finally the ice cream dessert was served in a unique way that made it a fun eat. We then moved onto t
One of the best restaurants I've eaten at in a long time.
The food, service, atmosphere and presentation were spectacular. This is not your average fine dining establishment. Every dish is presented with care and the utmost regard for the guests taste. The drink and wine selection was up to par as well. Their over the fire cooking was definitely appreciated on the sirloin and pork chop. All that said the piece that stood out to me the most was the service that went far and beyond anything that I was expecting. I cannot recommend this place enough it's amazing.
Delicious food from appetizers to main. Deserts only ok but others were amazing!
Extremely delicious food and staff nice but not genuine. We were disappointed that everyone we encountered from the hostess desk till our order asked the same question as if coached. We thought we were going to be dissatisfied with the meal but the chefs made it up to us in a delicious assortment of everything we ordered. The food speaks for itself so the staff needed to be less coached on “what to say”. BY the 4th time asked the same question we were convinced this was going to be a disappointment. But I can’t stress enough, ignore the fluff and enjoy the food as we did. Amazing meal and location nice but took an Uber from our centrally located hotel. In the end, almost 5 star, just tone a down a bit at the beginning !
Had been wanting to dine at Hestia since moving to atx.
From several sources, Hestia was highly regarded and recommended! Well, we finally scored a reservation and got to have date night/early birthday celebration last night. Their staff was absolutely top tier and you could immediately tell. Hestia was also moody, romantic, and inviting. We ordered a la carte: scallops and beef tartare for appetizer, halibut and Wagyu ribeye entrees, and received sourdough ice cream as a treat! Ahem, what rock have we been under to not have tried Hestia... until now?? Every dish was incredible. Wish we had more room in our bellies to order other dishes!! Ruben(sp?) was our server and treated us kindly and well. We thank you for an amazing evening out. Excited to try other dishes next time!
Snagged a prime Friday night reservation for a special
Snagged a prime Friday night reservation for a special occasion. Romantic, intimate setting. Tasteful decor. Moderate noise level. Service is spot-on! Massive wine list. Great cocktails. Order one of everything from the app menu to share, then decide on your entree. Definitely try the crab tarts, oysters (fabulous!) and the scallops (A-mazing!). The crudo was fresh but the citrusy sauce overpowers the delicate fish. Halibut was top notch! Perfectly cooked and that brown butter sauce is amazing! Sirloin was cooked perfectly, but in retrospect, it was just a steak. I should've tried something more adventurous from the menu. Desert was whimsical and delish! Hestia doesn't disappoint but its not mind blowing. We'll definitely come back and try some more items off the app menu.
I LOVE HESTIA.
If I ever have an excuse to spend money on amazing food, I always think of Hestia. This is also my go to date spot for events like anniversary or accomplishments. The best way to eat here is to order every small plate and one entree to share- it gives a very nice tapas-isque experience. I have never had a bad thing to say about anything I've tried here. Seafood- amazing Poultry- amazing Bread- amazing Cocktails- AMAZING Service- amazing Ambiance- a little dark but still amazing
Amazing evening at Hestia with my best friend.
They validate parking for 2 hours in their parking garage, and it was the perfect amount of time. We made a reservation a few weeks in advance and it only offered the patio as a seating option, but when we got there we were seated inside. Fine by me! When we sat down, we saw they were doing $30 martini carts and I had to partake. I learned the difference between shaken and stirred, as well as the ingredients in a Vesper: gin AND vodka. Service was great and attentive. My friend and I ordered 2 smoked crab tarts, the scallops and the pan de cristal, the halibut, and then the buñuelo for dessert. We are from the east coast, so some seafood in TX can be ... not our favorite, but Hestia absolutely blew us away. It's hard to choose a favorite. The scallops were massive and cut into 3 bites, they tasted so buttery and had that element of mushroom gelatin which was exciting. The crab tarts are a no brainer at only $8 a pop. The halibut was so tender and meaty, didn't taste fishy at all. The bread was perfect, nice crust and so fluffy inside. Nothing was ordinary here. The dessert was so unique I don't even know how to describe it. You just gotta try for yourself! Pricy but well worth it.
Hestia was a smoke and fat heavy experience.
Most foods are cooked over open flame and there is lots of tallow cooked into the food yielding a rich and filling experience. The service is on par with that of dome michelin starred restaurants I've been to. The food was decent but still a work in progress to truly become an elevated experience. I appreciate the seasonal aspect and care taken in the dishes. They were tasty but left some to be desired. The bill not on the tasting menu wasnt terrible but definitely still a restaurant to be saved for celebrations. Wagyu steaks will always be good, the other menu items is where my focus was. The ambience and noise level was quite loud and energetic. There was a significantly large party beside us however the service was still top notch. Would try again if menu were to change. 7/10 overall. Crab tarte was 6/10. Broccoli dish was 5.5/10. Needed more char IMO. Scallop dish was very rich and scallop was cooked well but dish was a little non cohesive. Halibut was a solid 8/10. Beurre monte was a nice touch and halibut was cooked phenomenally.
amazing food, service, ambience! Highly recommend this
amazing food, service, ambience! Highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the downtown area!
My husband took me here for my birthday.
If I can give this place 10 stars I would. The foods is amazingly well done. Server is phenomenal. Well worth very dollars we spent here. I will definitely be back for special occasions.
My husband and I visited Hestia last night and I wanted to
My husband and I visited Hestia last night and I wanted to write a bit about our meal. We didn't get the Chef's tasting last night, but we will be back for it in the future. I found the food magical and adventurous. The ambiance was perfect. We sat outside and the temperature was ideal with a slight chill from the night and the warmth overhead heaters. The smell of the fire and the music was intoxicating and added to scene. We had the warm crab which was a lovely amuse-bouche, followed by the charred broccoli. We really enjoyed the broccoli with its crispy edges and citrus undertones that cut through. The caviar was served with thin, delicate crisps and atop a warm thick buckwheat pancake. It was delicious and transported me to an underwater excursion in my mind. The buckwheat pancake was delicious as a standalone and had a mild sweetness and the juxtaposition of the warm pancake against the cool deep sea caviar was fun and unexpected. The wagyu sirloin had a thick charred crust and was velvety and decadent on the inside. It was impeccably done and the celery side dishes paired well with it. The thyme ice cream inside the crunchy shell was unique, smooth, and undeniably tasty. The wine was a blend with Pinot Noir and Burgundy and was the best, lightest red I've ever tasted. Overall my experience was fabulous and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a dining experience unlike any other.
I ate last week for dinner to understand why this
I ate last week for dinner to understand why this restaurant was causing a scene amongst us Austin crowd. I started off delicate with the oysters and very flavorful and rich. The oysters were fresh and I appreciated the apple ting that accompanied the dish. It was a new take and I enjoyed it. I went for the Crudo Kampachi. It was a very rich dish and I couldn't say I enjoyed it as much. The dish felt oily, the fish was fresh with the an ocean of juice floating around in the bowl. For my entree, I decided for the king trumpet mushroom. The texture was a little odd but it was the sauce off put me. It didn't pair well with the mushroom and needed something more light and delicate. However, the sides were savory, boisterous and commanded my mouths attention. That was amazing to eat. The buñuelo was a masterpiece of a dessert. Truly ineffable. I haven't had a dessert like that in awhile and I don't think there is one chef in Austin that can match that currently. I will be back again.
We got the prix fix dinner and every dish was amazing! My
We got the prix fix dinner and every dish was amazing! My favorites were the oyster, pork skewer (so amazingly thin and tasted almost like seafood), scallops, halibut and caviar!
Jacob!
We love Jacob! So much fun!! We celebrated a friend's birthday and Jacob was so fantastic about celebrating with us, that we must come back! We let him take the lead by recommending all types of food, Jacob was amazing! We love Jacob!
High end dining
This is dining. A tad pretentious perhaps but extremely attentive. Each dish was unique and exciting. This comes at a cost, so be prepared for the bill. The bread and pear butter with miso reduction might be the best thing I’ve ever eaten; however, the wagyu ribeye was done perfectly in every way. It is sort of addictive. Dessert must be mentioned as sourdough ice cream with charcoal top does not sound appealing but it was remarkably fantastic and I’ll never forget it.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
