"Barley Swine’s August tasting menu single-handedly reminded me why Austin is such an exciting dining scene. The standout dish was a delicate snapper and summer squash perched in a vibrant broth with lemongrass and basil, amplified with spicy greens. Even the celery sorbet, which I initially viewed with trepidation, offered a welcome wake-up call to the palate. —Erin Russell" - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury
