Loro - Austin

Excellent food and libations. We had the Grilled Snap Peas with kimchee emulsion (my favorite), the Chicken Karaage (very good), the Smoked Brisket (excellent), Smoked Prime Bavette (also yummy) and the Salmon (superior). For beverages, we enjoyed a Gin/Tonic slushie (I loved it and I don 't generally like gin or tonic), Lemongrass Daquiri (delish) a Vodka Lychee Arnold Palmer (refreshing but not memorable), Mango Sake Slushee (also good, but nothing earth shattering). They also had a good beer selection which was a little heavy on the IPAs. I enjoyed Philosophizer Saison (Adelbret) and 'Rupture ' fresh grind ale from Odell Brewing. Our guy was Kelon, who was delightful, accommodating, funny and fast! Thanks, Kelon you 're the best. Nice atmosphere loved the ordering protocol. Kudos, y 'all.

Best restaurant in Austin right now. Loved the open table seating (the concept of having servers is a dying one), food comes out fast and delivers an amazing variety of flavors. I was with a group of 8 and we got everything on the menu which came out to $300ish. Nothing disappointed! The TV setups, interior and exterior decor were all perfectly done.

Brisket was on point! Advise to get there fairly early bc the line was wrapped around the building by the time we left. Atmosphere was very chill. Will definitely be back to try more menu items.

Don’t let the line around the building deter you it moved quickly and we enjoyed a cool beverage under the trees while we waited. It was worth the short wait—all the entrees and sides we tried were delicious each of us had wonderful meals and cocktails. The friendly staff was cheerful and so helpful! We’ll be regulars. We may have to drive down again this weekend from Dallas...I feel a craving coming on.

Excellent food and drink! For only being open a couple of weeks, service was great. Great atmosphere. Line was out the door when we left around 7:00 but I say it’s worth it. Highly recommend!
