"This Austin-based transplant serves some of the freshest seafood in the state from its open kitchen. You’ll want to order a little bit of everything, including daily raw bar selections, steaming sourdough loaves, lobster rolls, and piping-hot cioppino. This place is always busy, but you won’t really mind because you can have a drink by the wood-burning fireplace while staring at the giant tropical aquarium. They also do a great Happy Hour where you’ll get half-priced burgers and martinis with discounted oyster shooters as well. " - katie shapiro
