We went for restaurant week, which tried their $75 prix fixe menu. All the dishes in their prix fixe menu were in good portion size and super delicious. We sit at the wine garden, it was so beautiful and for Greta ambience. Definitely one of my favor

Take a pass on this venue. We had real looked forward to a very special, upscale, what a big disappointment. First although they said they had a dress code all staff were in jeans. I guess it was supposed to be eclectic but the interior seemed very t
My husband and I went for our wedding anniversary.
The staff all signed a card and told us happy anniversary too! (A sweet touch!) We went around 5:30 on a Saturday but decided to book a reservation just in case. The crowd really picked up around 6:30. We decided on the 4-course chef's summer

Beautiful space and such a kind, welcoming staff--but the food just didn't live up to the vibe. We started with the hush puppies (not part of the tasting menu), which were decent--nothing standout, but solid. We then ordered the tasting menu, an

Ambiance and service 5 out of 5! Came here on a date night during a weekend getaway in Austin. It was a bit of a chilly night, but they had nearby fires and heat lamps. First impression is that the place is absolutely beautiful - it was magical sitt

My girlfriend and I recently visited Lenoir for a date night and were a bit underwhelmed by our experience. The first mistake we made was choosing to sit indoors. I'd recommend sitting in their outdoor wine garden, as the inside space is small a

I can't say enough wonderful things about this place! I mistakenly made reservations at a different Lenoir in a different state. When i arrived with my 80 year old mother, they kindly found space at the bar for us and on a Saturday night! But th

Absolutely wonderful, staff, wine garden & food all above and beyond. Big thanks to Todd and Jess for making this an exceptional birthday!

This place has it all! The meal was fantastic! So unique and full of flavor. I even ordered one of the dishes a second time because it was so good. We had the hush puppies, crab fingers, homemade bread with palmetto cheese, crudo and chicken. The dri
First time in, definitely won't be my last.
There were four of us sitting at the bar and ordered: the half chicken, whole fish, cabbage, melon, beets and hush puppies. The curry sauce with the fish was amazing. And the brightness and mix of textures with the beets and melon dishes were so fr
Strange food, strange people, and even weirder vibe.
This place is just strange. I'm not quite sure what they are going for but unless it's just "weird" they missed the mark. There were strawberry fritters which were just odd and borderline inedible. Who serves coffee but only has "wh

We were a big group of 7 and decided for the prefix and left very disappointed. I would love to say that the staff was friendly but their attitude and service was probably even worse than the food itself.
I absolutely love Lenoir.
The food is warm weather food inspired by climates similar to Austin with a rotating menu. Several mainstays include the house Pullman bread served with the best pimento cheese and chow chow, the blue corn and pecan hush puppies, and the crab fingers

Lenoir is one of our favorite hang-outs especially on nice weather evenings sitting in their outdoor area.

Trying too hard to be something…
The ingredient list on the “shared” plates was so overly complicated that the flavors hit wrong on the palate. Whoever cooked the steak had to have worked in a steakhouse, it was perfectly cooked, perfectly sauced and came out hot. The “best se

The tasting menu was yummy, my favorite was either the caesar salad or the tortellini :)
Must go!
Tori was amazing: she was one of the best server we have ever had. The dinner was sublime - you must order the Brussels Sprouts. Also black drum curry was delish.
The setting has potential to be an awesome date spot.
The food was very mediocre all around. We had the crab fingers (very dry, flavorless without the chili oil), shrimp tostadas (cold shrimp made tostada limp), pork mole was ok, drum fish was the best thing we had. The service was also just ok. It f

We visited Lenoir on an anniversary trip to Austin.
The place is comfortable and just a little quirky. We loved every dish, especially the shrimp toast. The cheesecake was lifechanging. It was served warm, and it was unexpectedly savory - made with talleggio rather than boxed cream cheese. Absolutely
The ambiance can't be beat.
We sat in their enclosed and heated garden behind the restaurant and get like we were in a fairy garden. The food was delicious and unique. We opted for a bunch of their appetizers bc we wanted to keep it light but their tasting menu look intriguing

Lenoir has been on my list of "must visit" restaurants for several years, but I didn't make it happen until recently. It was less expensive than expected, especially if you're lucky enough to visit on a Wednesday for their half-off bottles
Good wine.
Great service. Horrible portions. The plates are very small and more like micro appetizers.

This is the perfect date night.
We did the chefs tasting menu and a half off happy hour bottle of wine. Couldn't recommend more. The staff was knowledgeable and we let them choose everything. Can't go wrong here!

We had a hugely disappointing experience at Lenoir prior to our wedding last spring, and I haven't been able to shake it. My now-husband and I wanted to have an intimate dinner, just the two of us, the evening before the wedding. I had been to Lenoir
Probably the worst meal I've had in a long time.
We were very specific about what we wanted, even order directly from the menu, which we were told multiple times was the wrong menu. However we were brought new menus that were the same. Was served a sour beer instead of the farmhouse ale. Sours are
Started off with a bang but fizzled out.
Nice outdoor space with friendly staff and chill vibes. We stopped in with a party of 4 and got the 5 course chef's menu, and some appetizers off of the menu. The waitress helped pick a tasty bottle of wine and the first courses along with some small
Connect with users posting reservations for LENOIR Austin
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with LENOIR Austin. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to LENOIR Austin at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the LENOIR Austin page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at LENOIR Austin to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at LENOIR Austin!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
