EMMER & RYE:

Emmer & Rye is one of those restaurants, where you can visit over and over, and still want to go back for more. The menu is based off of locally sourced seasonally fresh farm ingredients, and is innovative, and exciting. It’s located on Rainey Street, a fun place to hang out in Austin, so this could be the first [or last!] stop for a fun filled evening.

TIP: Open for Dinner daily. Reservations encouraged.
