Still my favorite restaurant in town! xxxxxxxxxxx

The Sunday brunch 😋 never disappoints! The steak and eggs are amazing 👏 Thanks again to the amazing team!

Awesome experience. Biscuits, crepe and the chicken biscuit were awesome. Would definitely return when time allows. Super attentive staff and host station.

The steak was small compared to price. It was delicious but it was only 6 bites

Great food, drinks, service and HH. Love it. We go back regularly.

The burger didn't come cooked as requested and was incredibly greasy, but the HH deals on Tuesday are also great. Appetizers are where it's at. I don't believe the burger and fries would be worth it if it was full price.

The food at Foreign & Domestic is always some of the best in Austin, no matter what you order. Except for those black pepper/gruyere popovers: THOSE are tastier & more satisfying than anything on the planet. (You could happily eat them anytime, but they're the PERFECT brunch item.) Also, the service here? It's excellent. As if everyone – the hosts, the servers, the expediters, e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e – were constantly wondering, "What would best help the guest right now? I'll provide that, gracefully." Srsly.

Love this Venue! Check out the Sunday brunch, it never disappoints!

Absolute top of my list for Austin fine dining

Good evening. I want to reach out and tell you what a disappointing experience we had at the restaurant tonight. I have been a big fan of your restaurant and have always had great meals, but tonight was embarrassing. I brought out of town food and service professionals in, waxing poetic about the quality of the food and service based upon my previous visits. Everything tonight was a huge flop. We sat iutside nearly. 30 minutes past our reservation time before being seated. We then waited an hour for entrees to hit our table. We wondered if we should just leave and go somewhere else, but having worked in restaurants, wanted to be cool. Finally, food arrived. One incorrect entree, oversalted risotti we couldn’t eat, a flavorless burger, and weak excuses from front of house saying “next time you can order low salt for your menu selections in advance”. Um…the issue wasn’t a low salt tolerance…we love salt. The issue was poorly executed and oversalted food that three different people found inedible. We tried to be nice about it, explaining that we didn’t want a replacement…we just couldn’t eat it. At that point after waiting a ridiculous amount of time for bad food, we just wanted to go. The woman working front of house didn’t listen and insisted the kitchen wanted to make it right. The next round arrived a little better but still heavily overseasoned. We wondered if Covid had struck the entire back of house team, leaving them unable to taste. At the end of the night, we left angry about tone deaf service, our requests being ignored, and being charged over $300 bucks for food we couldn’t eat. Once we admitted our food wasn’t to our liking the staff avoided our table like we were ground zero for a monkey pox outbreak. Really disappointed and frustrated with our experience. It’s not what I’ve come to expect from you guys.
