Aquarelle is, in my experience, consistently the best restaurant in Austin. The food is magnificent and inherently, traditionally French. The service is exquisite and highly attentive. For my family, There is really no other choice for special occasion dinners. I would recommend, among other things, the beef with truffles and foie gras and the chocolate souffle cake. Aquarelle is a gem, and Austin's restaurant scene is all the richer for it. Highly recommended.
Pros: great service, very romantic, unusual menu choices
Cons: yes, it is pricey
