Had the loveliest dinner here - not only was each dish better than the last, but the service was incredible. We absolutely loved both steaks, the creamed kale, the salad, the pommes frites, gnocchi, and the ginger/honey spice cake dessert. Having lived in New York for almost 10 years, Le Calamar would be at the top of even NYC restaurants in my humble opinion!
Customer Reviews
Just ask your waitress for the specials and order accordingly. Their special sauces on each meal make everything tasty. If you are a party of 6 or more, you have to get prefix dinner, 77 USD per person. The whole experience did not give a Michelin vibe and experience. For birthday, at least they could send out a mini sample dessert to the birthday person.

I’ve never meant a 5 star service more. Claudia and her very personable team made our date night exceptional. Every bite was incredible. The gnocchi was perfectly crisp. Hope to be back soon

Wow, this space is beautiful. It felt so cozy and comfortable but high-end at the same time when we first walked in… set the tone for one of the best meals in Austin I’ve had. Service is stellar; friendly and attentive. But most importantly the FOOD! We started with the chicken wings (even better than they look… and they look so pretty you almost don’t want to eat them) and the snapper crudo (fresh, punchy). For our main… I’ve never had a more delicious steak au poivre. If you think you’ve ordered too many fries, order another. Our friends had the daily fish and it was gone before I could try it! Finished off with a peach sorbet that literally tasted like I was eating the ripest, juiciest peach ever. 5 stars all the way, will definitely be back soon and bring more friends!

I absolutely loved my experience at New French Restaurant! The new decorations create such a warm and stylish atmosphere. The wine list is well-curated with great options that aren’t overly expensive. The highlight of the evening was definitely the Wagyu steak – rich in flavor, perfectly aged, and cooked beautifully. It’s honestly one of the best I’ve had in Austin. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for amazing food, a great vibe, and excellent value!
