Dominated by shiny, dark paneling and etched glass, this would-be cattle baron's club inside the Driskill Hotel recalls the palatial restaurants of the 19th century (on a more intimate scale) -- until you look at the menu. Executive Chef Josh Watkins takes tasteful liberties with the meat-and-potatoes format by integrating world-cuisine influences. Entrées include hot smoked Bandera quail, pistachio-crusted sea scallops, and pan-roasted duck breast. Nightly piano music adds to the charming ambience.

The meal was paced perfectly - everything we ordered was outstanding - I will try to make another trip to Austin just to eat at The Driskill Grill!
