DEANS STEAKHOUSE:

Dean’s Steakhouse was one of those meals that my husband and I dreamed about and talked about for weeks after we ate there. It is a legit steakhouse inside the JW Marriott, serving fresh seafood, raw oysters and steaks for days. They serve Prime, Tomahawk and Wagyu steaks with a variety of sauces, along with sauces which will make your heart leap. Honestly, the Italian salad and Pettite Seafood Plateau could have been our meal and I would’ve been satisfied, but then the Tomahawk arrived at the table. I’m pretty sure my heart was beating 100mph when I saw it! We also loved the wine listing, and the amazing sides. If it’s patio weather, they have a cool spot in the back. You will not be disappointed by the entire experience…enjoy!

TIP: Inside the JW Marriott. Reservations available on Open Table. Open daily for brunch, lunch and dinner.

3 TEN A CL:

3 Ten ACL is the baby sister of Moody on the bottom floor with a cozy, intimate spot for watching music. Austin doesn’t disappoint with its nonstop live music, and the artists, with the low prices cannot be beat.
