"This sweet Chestnut neighborhood bistro provides excellent food at a mid-range price point, plus a fun and cozy patio. Check out the fantastic tartare and pasta from James Beard Award finalist Tracy Malechek-Ezekiel and the well-curated wine list from her husband, Arjav Ezekiel. Note that Birdie’s doesn’t take reservations, so while it’s great for a last-minute date, there will likely be a line or wait. There is indoor and outdoor dining." - Erin Russell
"This casual Chestnut neighborhood wine bar, which won Eater Austin’s best neighborhood wine bar of 2021, can be found on the east side offering a pleasant and quality dining experience. There’s the ever-rotating menu of simple dishes done right by co-owner and chef Tracy Malechek-Ezekiel and executive sous chef Heejae Galluccio. There’s usually handmade pasta, a rich steak and vegetable dish, and a variety of wine-friendly seasonal appetizers like fried green tomatoes. Don’t skip the creamy soft serve for dessert or the after-dinner drinks. There are no reservations, as it’s a walk-up joint. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell
