Fodor's Expert Review Lenoir
$$$$
South Austin and South Congress District
American
South First Street's best date-night destination might have limited dining space, but the seasonal prix-fixe selections, expertly prepared culinary creations, and fanciful decor are worth the hype. In addition to the nightly à la carte menu offerings, diners can indulge in a chef's choice menu ($72) with five courses that could be creations like striped-bass crudo and bowfin caviar, green curry fumé, seared antelope heart, or jerk quail with pecan butter and watermelon radish. The shady backyard wine garden has expanded with additional seating for weekly happy hours and dinner service. Walk-ins are accommodated.
