Wife and I will be in Austin on December 28. Our anniversary is a few days later, and I would love to take her to a nice dinner. We like Christopher's and republic here in CS as a reference point. Somewhat centrally located would be ideal. Thanks!

If you're set on a steak place, ALC is great.

Perla - seafood

Barley Swine - small plates

we just went to Uchiko this weekend.

Food was awesome, service was awesome, but portion sizes for the prices they charge are absurd. We left satisfied, but certainly not full. Glass of wine each ($25 for both) and we were in for $200. We had a $200 gift card, and if we didn't have it we probably wouldn't have gone.

Downtown the Roaring Fork would work, as would Perry's. We like RA Sushi and Bar Chi.

If you'd consider Uchi, Otoko is where you have to try.

For steak I'd say Bobs downtown
Uchi, Uchiko, Odd Duck are all great options and different than anything you can get in CS

Bob's Steak & Chop or GTFO

I had a great steak/experience at The Capital Grille last week.

I'd also recommend Odd Duck, its related to Barley Swine, and a similar concept.

I prefer Eddies over TRULUCKS but both are great.

Went to Perry's for a work thing recently. Pork chop was fantastic, but might want to share.

If you don't mind dropping a bunch of cash, it's hard to beat wink. Lenior is also great. Overall the jorts list is pretty much my standard. Not a big Sullivan's fan though.

Also scratch perrys. It's good but you can get that outside of Austin sometime.

Went to ALC two nights ago and was very disappointed FYI

I wasn't going to rain on the alc parade because I thought I was the only one that doesn't care for it. I want to like it but it's simply not as good as places like III forks. Fire away all lovers!

Odd Duck is not worth the money. Food is not impressive and very overpriced.

Steaks weren't seasoned well or prepared well. Just not a good meal.

Both meals I have had at Odd Duck have been great

I've always had wonderful steaks there. Hopefully you'll give them another try.

Also, if you have a SAMs club membership you can get $100 worth of gift cards to ALC for $80. Makes for a cheaper meal.

Hard to beat Eddie V's, we've yet to find anywhere that can.

The one restaurant that I am most frequently recommending these days is L'Oca d'Oro.

Also, in no particular order:

Wink
Siena (out in the boonies but worth it)
Fonda San Miguel (only sorta central)
Uchi
Flour and Vine

Get the sea bass cooked Hong Kong style. Amazing. Got a gift card for there for Christmas. Can't wait to get back.
