Reviews for Blind Salamander Kitchen & Bar in Austin, TX
This review won't be able to do the restaurant and service justice, but here we go. We were treated with amazing service as... soon as we arrived at the check-in stand with Michael, who led us to our table. Our server Will was absolutely incredible, andvery knowledgeable on all the cocktails and wine. He recommended a few different drinks which were all extremely tasty. Will letus know the specials of the day and you could tell he knew the menus and ingredients. We ended up ordering the oysters of theday, shrimp cocktail, ahi tartare, tomato bisque, burrata, carrots and salmon dip which we shared family style. Our eyes werebigger than our stomachs, but it was worth every single bite! Chef Francisco came out and personally checked in with us to seehow we were liking everything and he sent out a couple desserts which were so delicious! Do not sleep on the creme brûlée! Weended the night with some tasty champagne, I can't wait for my next visit! Read more

I can not explain in words how delicious my meal was at the Blind Salamander restaurant. I attached an image of my salmon meal... as well as the lobster mac and cheese which was to die for. The serving was large which allowed me to take home leftovers thatwas just as good for lunch the next day! Chef Francisco Baca is a genius. The service from Will was impeccable and the managerMichael was amazing with his table touches. Thank you to the entire team for an enjoyable evening! Read more
