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!
Be the first to ReplySnagged 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.
Be the first to ReplyI 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
Be the first to ReplyAmazing 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 buรฑuelo 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.
Be the first to ReplyHestia 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.

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.
Be the first to ReplyMy 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.
Be the first to ReplyI 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 buรฑuelo 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 favorites were the oyster, pork skewer (so amazingly thin and tasted almost like seafood), scallops, halibut and caviar!

Delicious food in a great spot of Austin! I love that everything is touched by fire, it gives the food a unique taste. Perfect spot for a hot date night
Be the first to ReplyThis review is about a month late, but I had to marinate in
This review is about a month late, but I had to marinate in it to see if my opinion changed.For a chef's tasting on Valentine's Day, I was disappointed. The tasting for two is over $500, but you don't feel like you get your money's worth compared to other similarly priced chef's tastings in Austin.Things I loved? The love letters we write at the beginning of the dinner. The impeccable service. The attentiveness of the silverware... all just very nice details. I really enjoyed some dishes like the wagyu tartare in a cupcake form and the grilled scallop. The mushroom skewer was very unfilling, but I enjoyed the DIY binchotan experience. Unfortunately, a better binchotan dish is at every omakase in Austin that has it. Things I didn't love? They immediately removed our menus so we couldn't follow along well. It's a bit too dark and a bit too loud. Some dishes were a bit disappointing, like the dumplings. Most dishes were very, very small. I've had other chef's tastings that left me at a comfortable level, but this one just left me hungry. The dessert had a literal hair in it... and lastly, the cookie box was half good half bad. Half good as in the 2 cookies were great! I loved them. Half bad as in the other four desserts are hershey's kisses and Asian candy. I was a bit upset because for what you pay, you would expect more effort in a dessert than cheap chocolate and candy that other people would pretend is "exotic". Being Asian, it's just grocery store candy to us.It would take a LOT for me to come back to this place.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing service and amazing food.
The scallops were the best I've ever had. The halibut was cooked to perfection and my husband's steak was as well. The only thing I didn't like was the mushroom rilette they served with the awesome fresh baked bread.
Be the first to ReplyJust finished up a dinner here.
Food is definitely above average. We ordered a great assortment of appetizers and entrees, a total of 5 dishes to share between the two of us. The crab tart was the first thing we tried and I have to say, the salt was overpowering. It was disappointing because I could tell the crab was really fresh, it's just that the salt was so strong, I feel like I paid $8 for a salt bite. The beet salad was excellent, and the scallops were excellent too, but there was only two of them for almost $30 and no sides on that dish. The steak we ordered was excellent too but the sunchoke side seemed overcooked and there just wasn't enough of it to be considered a side, more like a garnish. Overall for $65 a disappointing entree experience. We also got the maitake mushroom entree which was very good, just again, no sides and one giant mushroom on a plate for somewhere over $30. The bill came in at $185 (before tip), we had no drinks, just water and 5 dishes. We are both very small people and left still with room in our stomachs. For this amount of money, the food simply didn't do it for us. The servers describing the dishes was a nice touch, but they spoke too fast and it was too loud in there to hear anything. I left feeling like we were somewhat taken advantage of, which is a feeling I have not felt in a while. Will not be back due to food being incredibly overpriced for the portion size offered.
Be the first to ReplyCrab Tarts were a great starter, I definitely could eat
Crab Tarts were a great starter, I definitely could eat like 10 of these For the oysters, I can't say the same since they weren't that freshThe crudo was such a small portion and wasn't anything extraordinary aside from the good quality of kampachiThe scallops were cooked perfectly with a nice sear yet still soft inside We ordered the halibut and 8oz wagyu bavette which were fine but the bavette was ordered medium which wasn't cooked to my liking (I didn't mind too much so that doesn't really matter) and so salty. We ordered the kakigori which was such a large portion and had the best cherry ice cream inside I've ever had. It was such a fun way to end the dining experience but I do have to mention that the shaved ice does get way too tart to finish once you've scraped off the salted cream though. Overall, really nice ambience, great view and kind staff. However, this restaurant is just too overpriced for the quality of food.

Wow Wow Wow!! We did the tasting menu and wine pairing for a friends 30th birthday. It was unreal. The service, unique bites and ambiance was incredible. Highly recommend doing it this way if you can. Everything went so great together and was so fun trying what the chef prepared
Be the first to ReplyThis is 100% the best dining experience I have had so far
This is 100% the best dining experience I have had so far in my 28 years of life. We ended up ordering the entire menu, and it was specially curated to come out at the perfect time. As the vegetarian in the group, every dish came with a modification for me. We had two bottles of wine that were specially chosen by a sommelier and fit our dishes perfectly. Every bite was a explosion of flavor and extremely fresh. Everything had a story, and an amazing flavor profile!

such a great spot in a prime location! we got the crudo and wagyu beef tartare followed by the halibut! the halibut was definitely the star of the show served with fiddleheads and charred corn in a brown butter sauce I also love how intimate this restaurant is!
Be the first to ReplyWe tried the tasting menu.
Most at of the items are all amazing that you can taste contrast, developed flavor and surprised combination, only the quail dish is okay-ish. Definitely worth the money and we will come back for some of the dishes I wanted more. Great menu, great work and great staff.
Be the first to ReplyVery relaxed, gorgeous restaurant.
Service is phenomenal. I been here several times, and I've never had a bad experience. Everything is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the tasting menu. But the A La Carte options are fantastic as well.
