A visit to Fearings is a treat all round. First its located in the Ritz Carlton
hotel so walking through the lobby foyer is an experience in opulence right
there. The rattlesnake bar comes next.. dimly lit with a mix of “old money”,
“new money” and “would do anything for money” types. How I love to people watch
here!
I’ve ben here once, and that was an unforgettable experience. The ice cream is
definitely all-American creaminess, which may be delicious but after your fifth
bite, you will get sick of it (this may be because my sweet tooth is not that
great).
I love this place. It was recommended to me by a friend who grew up in the
neighborhood long before it became gentrified and hipster.
I am only a fan of their Lobster Tail. The Italian Cheesecake and the Cannoli
is a meh pastry.
Built on the original location of Olives before the fire, Figs is a great place
to eat if you understand a few things before you go.
After the meat-heavy dishes from the holidays (and before yet another
meat-heavy New Year’s Eve dinner), we chose Fish for a seafood lunch and were
we glad we did!

I’ve only been to the 5 points 2 times, but it’s an experience each time.
The food is awesome and probably one of the best in the area if you’re looking
for an above par brunch. They also have churros and hot chocolate - uhm double
yum.
On a cold windy morning this past weekend I came up to Austin on a mission to
try “Austiny” restaurants. My boyfriend, having lived in Austin for a few years
decided to take me to one of his favorite food trucks, thus, we ended up at
Flip Happy Crepes.
This review may not be too accurate because I had Flo’s about 4 years ago when
I visited Rhode Island for the first time.
I went to Founding Farmers for dinner on New Year’s Eve. They had their
regular menu, not some fixed price absurdly expensive menu, so that was a plus.
The pie: Salted Caramel Apple Pie. Perfectly balanced with the buttery crust,
which wasn’t stiff at all and was KIND of caramel-y… but really just
delicious apples (which tasted CRISP! After being soaked in caramel and juice!
Yay!)
Way back when before I use to not order steak at restaurants, I always ordered
chicken or pasta, I use to come here all the time.
I shared them with Mr. L, but told him he had to hurry or they’d be gone. As
Ben P. says, “Chocolate is a demanding mistress.”
My wife and I often eat here (like one or twice a week). My favorite thing on
the menu is the quinoa salad. Dead simple but still delicious and I always eat
it thinking, I could make this but you know what? I’m too lazy and so I come
here to have it and it’s really good. The food is always solid and extremely
reasonably priced.
We went for my birthday and they seated us in the kitchen. I loved it-
watching them prepare the food was a lot of fun. The service was great, the
food was fantastic and the overall experience- top notch!
I decided to give this place 5 star even though I once swore to god that I’m
not gonna have Italian food whenever there’s an option. haha.. not i change my
mind ;)
If your looking for a nice quiet place with beautiful decor this place is not
for you…If you’re looking for an unpretentious place to drink and listen to a
juke box,this is the place just for you.
This place is perfect at 330PM sunny weekday. It’s pretty awesome even at dusk
when the wind kicks up and the sun dips below Twin Peaks. Dress in layers to
protect from the elements and to protect from any perceived rudeness. I’ve
never had a problem here. It’s perfect to meet up with a group of pals before
dinner.
Like, if I had to go out on a date in a grocery store, this is the one I would
choose. Shit, if I had to go out on a date WITH a grocery store, this is the
one I would choose. And I’d probably put out, too.
