Justine's - Austin

For me Justine's is all about the atmosphere, with good food of course! Just a couple of things though - they do not take reservations and they don't do

I love this placeMy husband and I make it a point to go to Justine's every time we come into townTo me this place can do no wrong.

You have to go to Justine's, words can't describe an evening there

Super cute spot tucked away on the eastside! I have tried a lot of French food, lived in France and worked in a top tier French restaurant in Boston. They do a solid job with most dishes but some room for improvement. For a french restaurant in Texas it’s a formidable spot. The menu has staple traditional French dishes and the ambience is quiet and enjoyable. Our wine recommendation was solid. I have tried many of the dishes. I wasn’t super impressed with the duck confit, it was fairly dried out. But many have been very good.

Beautiful setting! The tent look is quite stunning and the back patio is great for outdoor hangouts. Had a few drinks at the bar while waiting for our table and the bartender was pleasant, informative and personable. Our server was quite relaxed but still decently attentive so no complaints there. The is food is okay. Had the mussels and octopus to start which was delicious but the escargo was very chewy and over cooked and the duck confit was dry. Unless they regularly update their menu I would not return for dinner but definitely for pre or post dinner drinks because the cocktails are delicious and the atmosphere and design is stunning!!!!
