Hestia Austin Reviews from The Last Year
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!
Snagged 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.
I 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
Amazing 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 buñuelo 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.
Hestia 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.
amazing food, service, ambience! Highly recommend this
amazing food, service, ambience! Highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the downtown area!
My husband took me here for my birthday.
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.
My 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.
We got the prix fix dinner and every dish was amazing! My
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!
I 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 buñuelo 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.
Jacob!
We love Jacob! So much fun!! We celebrated a friend's birthday and Jacob was so fantastic about celebrating with us, that we must come back! We let him take the lead by recommending all types of food, Jacob was amazing! We love Jacob!
High end dining
This is dining. A tad pretentious perhaps but extremely attentive. Each dish was unique and exciting. This comes at a cost, so be prepared for the bill. The bread and pear butter with miso reduction might be the best thing I’ve ever eaten; however, the wagyu ribeye was done perfectly in every way. It is sort of addictive. Dessert must be mentioned as sourdough ice cream with charcoal top does not sound appealing but it was remarkably fantastic and I’ll never forget it.
Friendly, personal attention and fabulous food
Loved our meal at Hestia! All plates very shareable. The scallops, halibut, and pork chop all amazing. Save room for the sour dough ice cream - different and delicious. Thank you, Paige and Albert for a wonderful evening! We’ll be back.
Should be a Michelin!!! One of the BEST dinners in Austin
Worth every $ and all the hype!!!!! I’m a huge foodie and have tried it all, but this place really impressed me! It’s a little hidden, we didn’t see it from the street, got confused and almost left, because there is a joint restaurant that shares bar space and serves smaller plates and tapas called Kalimotxo. Hestia is on the dressy side, dark interior and centered around the hearth. Their theme is fire and almost everything they make including some of the drinks are prepared or touched by it in some capacity. The halibut is the BEST dish on the menu, dare I say it’s probably the best one I’ve had in my life! It was moist, extremely flavorful, prepared to perfection and fell apart. Everything from the cocktails, wine, starters, and entrees exceeded my expectations, this place is a must and I would definitely return to try their chefs tasting menu, even at $195 per person. One thing to note you can only do it if the entire table participates. Service is excellent! Park in the bank building, they validate
poisoning
We went for dinner -2 persons, we had chef's choise plates with a bill of about 500$ and we went home vometing all night
Should be Michelin Star rated.
We did the tasting menu and it was amazing. A great variety of courses with foods presented in a different style and texture than what you would traditionally see. Unique and full of flavor. The sourdough ice cream was amazing. Great atmosphere and Five star service all the way!
Outstanding Experience
This restaurant is outstanding! The staff is really pleasant and very solicitous. The food. Oh the food. I wasn’t hungry enough to go with the tasting menu which was fairly priced considering the quality of the food. I opted for their ala carte menu instead. I had the potato/caviar, oysters, kampachi, scallops and the halibut for the main dish. The amount was perfect. It ended up being pricier than the tasting menu but so worth it! Everything was outstanding but the potato/caviar bite, scallops and halibut with caviar were the highlights. The sauce of the halibut was so flavorful I had to slow down my eating to savor every bite. I wish the potato/caviar was bigger. I ordered the sourdough ice cream for dessert upon the recommendation of the host. Sounded different so I was willing to try it out. It was delicious! Something different for sure, not too sweet, almost savory, but just delicious! I highly recommend Hestia when in Austin. Price point is fair for the quality of food. Will have to try the tasting menu next time. Reservations strongly recommended.
Amazing Halibut
Really enjoyed Hestia. They do a premier, signature halibut preparation that is beyond delicious. Baked in their big custom oven. Don’t miss it.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
