With two locations (one downtown and one in north Austin), Eddie V’s is the quintessential local special occasion spot. The menu is heavily surf—fresh oysters, seabass, calamari, lobster—with a side of dry-aged turf. Both locations boast large dining rooms, valet parking, private areas for groups and oh-so-very-popular happy hour deals.
When you’re tired of pasta at the best Italian restaurants in Austin or plates of veggies at Austin's top vegetarian and vegan restaurants, head to our city's best seafood restaurants for oysters, lobsters and fish. Towers of bivalves, stuffed crab and more fill the menus here, serving the kind of food that locals crave—especially after a night of drinking at the best dive bars in Austin. We may not be close to the ocean, but we can certainly pretend.
