Nido

Had a wonderful experience at Nido Austin while celebrating a birthday surprise. The team made the evening feel special from the moment we walked in. The ambiance is stunning, and the service was thoughtful without being over the top. We tried several veg options, and each one was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully plated. It’s rare to find a place where vegetarian dishes feel just as elevated as everything else on the menu, but Nido absolutely delivered. A memorable night with great food, great views, and a great team. Highly recommend for celebrations or a relaxed upscale dinner.

Overall is way overpriced with the smallest portion you could get. The food was very mid especially the octopus appetizer, $32 for one tentacle with little to no taste. The hamachi appetizer wasn’t bad. The entree portions were all small. If you go for the view, it was okay. The restaurant isn’t set in a higher level so don’t expect the view to be a view from a high rise perspective. The service was nice, the host moved us to the patio even we didn’t book the outdoor dining since we messed up the booking. However, food took forever to come even when there’s not that many people in the restaurant, if you like slow dining then maybe it’s for you. We had the lamb pasta, that was good but not worth the price either even it’s like a cheaper option on the menu. We also tried the $55 braised short rib, very mid, it’s supposed to be their best option on the menu. We tried the lobster, it’s not bad but same thing portion was small. The trout was nothing special at all. Each person basically paid $110 for getting your stomach 1/4 full. If that’s a dining experience you like then it’s for you, but I would go for a better experience and food restaurant with that kind of pricing, might as well go to a Michelin star rated ones.

Had a wonderful experience at Nido! We stopped in for drinks and grabbed seats at the bar. The cocktails were exceptional, and the service was just as impressive. Jeffrey and Derrick were fantastic bartenders. They were friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about their craft. They made the experience even more enjoyable. Looking forward to coming back!

This is a rooftop restaurant in the Loren hotel in Austin Texas. We went to this place for Valentine’s Day 2026. We are so glad we got a reservation here because Austin’s best restaurants are all booked up due to Valentine’s and the Austin marathon the next day. It was raining all day in Austin but cleared up for the evening. The view and the colors of the sky were amazing. I would go back here, just for the views. The ambience is beautiful inside and there was live music (instrumental harp) which was romantic. They gave us a good seating. The food was ok and not great. The octopus was really really salty. I think they salted it twice. It was also rubbery and I have eaten better seafood elsewhere. I told the waiter and he did not do anything about it. I know it was a busy day for them but I don’t think the service was outstanding. I took some pics of the views and we had a good time regardless of the food and service.

The view, the food, and the service — everything was amazing! Dave helped us choose and we were so grateful we tried all those options. Thank you, Dave! He paid so much attention to us - I wasn’t feeling well that day, and he made sure I felt better and comfortable throughout the evening. He was truly so attentive that I just had to mention his service separately. I can tell the restaurant is run by great managers — the menu, the atmosphere, and the staff training are all outstanding. I spend a lot of time in Europe and usually compare restaurants to the high standards there — and this one absolutely stands out. It’s on the same level, which is rare to find in the U.S. I will definitely come back one day❤️
