Contemporary European
Luxury takes root in the heart of Austin at Nido, bringing the charm of the area together with the culinary techniques of coastal Europe, all perched above Lady Bird Lake and the energetic cityscape.

Nido’s selection of carefully crafted, seasonal menus are internationally-inspired with a focus on classical technique.

Reservations are available for inside the dining room and the dining tables in the bar. Lounge seating is available on a walk in basis in the bar and on the terrace for drinks and snacks.

Valet parking is complimentary in our garage.

    First, as all will proclaim: this new view of downtown is outstanding! Ambiance was also very good. Regarding the food, we’ll be back to give other options on the menu a try. We split the fried artichoke heart, scallops and mushrooms - all unremarkable. However, the chocolate ganache for dessert was incredible! A bottle of sparkling water and two glasses of wine later and the tab was $$$$! Way too expensive to be only able to apply superlatives to the view and dessert. As mentioned, we’ll be back for another visit, but I hope this doesn’t turn out to be another rooftop restaurant where you’re paying for the view (and chocolate ganache!).

    We arrived early for our reservation and started with cocktails at the bar while we waited for our table for dinner. Once our Table was ready we mover to our table where 'Lance", our waiter took amazing care of us! He was attentive and came with great recommendations for our meal. We started with Octopus Carpaccio, then a Wagyu Sirloin, and then a delicious dessert. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a special evening!!!

    Cocktails and dining on Nido's patio as the sun set and the Austin skyline lit up slowly, was an entirely pleasurable experience. Martinis prepared perfectly, outstanding burrata, lamb bolognese, and "soft lettuces" salad, and fun and friendly service provided by Morgan, all combined to make this a truly special evening with my wife. We'll definitely be back.

    Great views…:that’s it. Don’t go here unless you want to take an elevator ride up 8 floors, take a look outside and then immediately leave. Food is not good, service was horrendous as we were there for 1.5 hours and got waters and drinks and appetizers….no 2nd visit until 90 min later….clearly forgot about us….seriously, save your time and $ and avoid this Dallas restaurant.

    Great environment for sit down and drink. Unfortunately, we had bad service. They sat us down but no one came to us and we didnt get our water or cocktail menu after waiting for 20 minutes. Even after we got our drinks and appetizers. No one came by the table until we ask for the check.

    Great experience. The dining room was lively and boisterous, in the best way. Food was excellent - we had burrata, snap peas, asparagus, scallops, pappardelle, sundae. The cocktails and wine selection were superb. Service was attentive, informed and provided great guidance, all while being very approachable. This is a place you can get a bit dressed up and enjoy a really nice meal, which is hard to find in Austin.

    They need a new chef, he just doesn’t have it. The view is amazing. It’s kind overpriced considering the food is that good. Service is poor. I would go back for the view.

    The staff made sure to respond when we asked for a table outside. Much appreciated!! Great view. Great ambiance. Lovely decor. Food was ok but nothing to get excited about. Portions are way too small for what you’re paying, so keep that in mind. If you come hungry, you’ll probably leave hungry. The hotel valet and staff downstairs is 5 star, though. I would definitely recommend trying it for yourself

    Loved our afternoon brunch experience! Great views and the food and drinks were all very tasty.However, I find it distasteful to charge $3.00 for ice per drink!! When you see ice water being served, is there an up charge for that as well? Not a large cube of perfectly see through ice either… this was the cubes of ice. I mean, I’m purchasing a $28 2oz pour of high end bourbon and you want to up charge for the ice cubes? SHAME ON YOU! Will not go back again, as there are numerous view worthy spots in Austin that can afford to not charge for ice cubes.

    Food & cocktails were super good. It was our anniversary so they brought us a glass of bubbly to the table which was nice. After that though, we sat there for a good 25 minutes with no service. Not one person acknowledged us, it was a little strange. Finally got someone’s attention and after that the experience was great. (I hate having to ask for service too, I’ve worked in restaurants. I get it.) I’ll ignore that though and ambience was great and views were super killer. Check it out!

    The view is fantastic, and the layout of the restaurant and bar area were top-notch. However, that's where the fantasy ends, and you should probably leave after checking out the view. I ordered a lot of the menu and wanted to be blown away by something, but nothing popped. It felt like the chefs still need to taste their food. The only thing seasoned correctly was the frites (french fries), which I joked about and said they probably got Ubereats to deliver from Mcdonald's. The service was good. I had an issue with a well-done salmon (it came very undercooked). The FOH manager kindly stopped by and talked to the table. The staff cares about the guests. The real issue is the food.

    The view and setting is wonderful! The service, however, was surprisingly poor. It took us 2.5 hours to get our dinner, but no one explained there would be an additional wait, checked on us, etc. It didn't seem particularly busy. The food was good, the staff was nice enough-- it was just strange how absent the waitstaff were and the lack of communication about food timings.

    The service was incredibly slow. I had to ask for iced tea three times before it came at the very end of the meal and then when I got the check, I was shocked to see that I was charged for a refill on a very small glass of tea. No refills on iced tea??? And no warning ahead of time? Doesn’t seem very Austin/Southern or even good business practice. The food was delicious but expensive ($22 for Burrata). The views are nice. Probably won’t go back on principle alone bc WHO CHARGES FOR TEA REFILLS?!
