Trio is such a great dining spot for Austin. My husband and I like to dine out, and have tried almost every restaurant in Austin. We continue to go back to Trio because the total experience is memorable every time. The food is such a wonderful combination of innovative and local. The ingredients are fresh, the best of the best, and expertly handled. The wine list- by the glass and by the bottle- is so complete. The span the globe and price, but everything is great. The sommelier, Mark Sayre, was named The best Sommelier in Texas, and he is such a nice guy. He makes the list and menu navigable for any amount of knowledge or experience. I have also found the wine prices to be surprisingly low- at or lower than any other restaurant in town. That is such a nice surprise in a swanky place like the Four Seasons.
Lunch and dinner are always winners, but now they have upped the stakes with a wonderful Happy Hour. Half price appetizers and wine! How can you beat that? Its a great indulgence without spending too much, and perfect for winding down after a day of working (or shopping).
My very favorite thing about Trio is to end the night on the adirondack chairs in the lawn, finishing up the second (third, fourth) bottle of wine. The staff is so accommodating, they will do everything they can to make your night perfect and most likely will remember to do the same thing next time you visit. Go- you won't regret it!
Pros: Wine, Food, Staff
