Arlo Grey By Kristen Kish

Arlo Grey is an amazing blend of midwest comfort food with a delightful Asian flair. The entire staff was excellent with anticipating our needs and explaining and recommending dishes. Darla our server recommended the sourdough starter and I’m so thankful they did! Originally that wasn’t on our list and that was one of my favorite dishes! The cocktails were extremely fun and the wine selection was wonderful and we cannot wait to visit again!

Wonderful experience all the way around. Service was excellent and the restaurant itself is gorgeous. If you can, snag a table by the windows that look south. Food was all wonderful, from the appetizers to the dessert. Always worried a popular place won’t live up to the hype but Arlo Grey was a special experience.

O. M. G. are we glad we made a res here. Dinner was super, super delicious 😋 and Bran, our server, was helpful and attentive. We shared 4 plates: The burata had a great combo of flavors different from the typical (apples,hazelnut drizzle, mushroom gremalata. The mafaldini - my personal favorite dish of the meal - the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the mushrooms and onion added a richly meaty/earthy taste that I wanted to roll around in! The raviolo's sauce had a nice lemony zing, but we thought it was a little overcooked and there was too much ricotta. And lastly, we shared the pork chop, even though we could have happily ended our meal with the pasta, but heavens above, that might have been the best chop we've ever eaten; tender, juicy, savory, just perfect. Really, really great meal.

Absolutely delightful and surprising find. Most inventive meal we’ve had in a very long time. Didn’t have a bad dish. Everything was so carefully prepared and plated - could really taste the balance and artistry in every bite. Had a total of 9 dishes, and while all spectacular, the eggplant / dumpling and the mushroom pasta were divine. Desserts (pictured) were playful and unusual in all the right ways. Highly recommended.

Yes that's a full five stars because of the fact that it was a five-star service in every way. The table, set into what felt like a secret garden overlooking a luxurious view of green leading to the river. The food is nothing short of magical. And the service which made our dinner fun, entertaining and genuine. Kisha loves what she does and it shows in the food and the atmosphere.

Delicious. We had the burrata, crudo, crispy rice, bucatini, and pistachio mousse. The crudo, crispy rice, and pistachio mousse were 10/10 incredible. Exceeded expectation and worth revisiting. Our server Trista was authentic and knew the menu inside and out to help us pick the best dishes. The only thorn we experienced was the inexperienced front of house. Only half the tables were full when we arrived and it took them 10 minutes to seat us and it was a big fuss to get a seat close to the window.

Reviews have been giving this place a bad rap. It is a spacious chic concept. While some of the dishes could use drastic improvements (the Hen and chamomile pudding in specific), the food over all as great! I'd come back again as the seasonal menu changes. Anytime there was an issue they comped the dish and provided a free dish. After sunset does get dark and quite intimate. My reccomendations would be the steamed bun, bucatini, burger (get the salad), coconut and pistachio mousse, and the sour dough ice cream.

Arlo Grey is an exemple of how its done right in downtown Austin, TX. The vibe was very electric and yet calm with a very welcoming colume throughout the room. Guests were attended to in fluid swarm service and my guest and I were tended to by varying faces who were all well versed into their menu to educate us as our dinner courses were dropped. Carlos was an amazing and well spoken associate and delivered my guest and I the utmost of confident choices and fave reccos. The presentation of each dish was masterful, in both esthetic and flavor. Each dish walked the walk and talked the talk. There were no bad palate experiences this evening and I am critical to the enth degree; tonight was a perfect dining experience. Our drinks were crafted to perfection, courses were timed and dropped like clockwork. Burratta salad was art-on-plate; Oyster Mushroom made me weak in the knees. Crispy rice is now my thing, this dish cannot be forgotten once youve experienced it. The pork chop can satisfy any palate in search of bbq or needing a bbq-like craving. The tenderness and flavor of the pork was intense and each bite was as exciting as the first. The Halibut was absolutely divine and the color variance was splendid and second only in appreciation to its overall flavor. Desserts were the best I've had in a log time here in Austin, Im easy to please so desserts are an easy please for me. However the desserts on the menu at Arlo Grey are all cant misses. Despite being full at the end of our dinner my guest and I made room for a barrage of sweets tabled for us by an extremely hospitable floor manager as a must taste situation. Say less! Each dessert had me in near extasy as the combinate of sweet and savory elements combined in masterful combinations. I swear my allegiance and palate to the sourdough ice cream dessert; pure delight that can change a challenging mood in an instant! Everything in the evenings experience was prime. Hospitality, service, attention, ambiance, floor feng shui is opportune with a positive and elegant dining experience for any guest occasion. The value vs cost was more than appropriate and each dish was priced in a very reasonable range for local, business, or tourist based guest demographics. As a local Austinite I am a little saddened I had not fully experienced this aboslute eclectic downtown oasis until now; but its now a routine destination spit for me and my discerning palate. The restrooms alone, are instagram worthy lol. Make reservations, you're going to need them; this place is very welcoming even to social ametuers. So I definately reccomend, if you want seating on this floor to play like a professional and make reservations. Happy dining.
