The Grille at Rough Hollow
103 Yacht Club Cove, Lakeway, 78734, 512/261-3444
This restaurant provides casual fine dining by the lake. The Armadillo eggs, served with a jalapeño ranch dipping sauce, are stuffed with house-smoked pulled pork. There are salads and sandwiches for lunch, and seafood and meat entrees for dinner.
This sunny, lovely bistro specializes in French treats like tartines, mussels, and boeuf bourguignon.
3663 Bee Cave Rd., 512/306-1668
The most elegant food at the mall, with a menu strong on ladies-who-lunch fare. Salads and sandwiches are exceptional, but more substantial offerings are there for the asking.
Barton Creek Square, 2901 Capital of TX Hwy. S., 512/691-3510
This elegantly casual interior, rich with reclaimed wood, earth tones, and natural light, has a separate lounge and bar area. Locally sourced dishes make this a South Austin delight.
