Verbena - Austin

This was one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. The food was delicious, drinks were on point, and our server (Austin) was amazing! The atmosphere was great, and we loved the open kitchen concept. Definitely recommend!!!

Great upscale cocktails! Can come in from 6th street and use open bar seating and open table seating by bar. Actually carries Empress 1908 gin!! Great place. Great music, vast and extensive bar and cocktail knowledge. A+ bartending for upscale cocktails.

The food at the restaurant is phenomenal. Everything we ate or drank was excellent. However, we had multiple 5-10 minute stretches (including when we first sat) where our server was nowhere in sight. Empty drinks, orders waiting to be put in. Once we finally ordered dinner, it was a full 50 minutes before it hit the table. This place is very under-staffed and needs to reduce seating or have more kitchen space.

Food was over salted. Noise level echo so high was unable to have any conversation with my companion. The waiter was doing his best considering that he had to cover dining room, bar and patio guests.

We were a party of 6 and ordered a variety of apps and entrees. Everything was tasty but the octopus app and the rabbit entree were outstanding. Our server was helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive but in no way annoying. Very professional. Thanks for a great night!
