Justine's

One of my favorite places in the world. Go to treat yourself to the best food, drink, music, ambiance, true good attitude, & amazing night making. You'll never forget it.

Turned up without a reservation late on a Wednesday night. Got seated straight away, very friendly and personal service. The duck was fantastic, and we also enjoyed the snails. This place has a cool vibe about it!

The ambiance is perfect for a date night. The food was phenomenal. The service as well. Laid back but at the same time felt exclusive. My sweetheart and I will be back.

We didn't end up eating here so I can't comment on the food or the service. But I would highly recommend making a reservation beforehand because when we got there, several tables were empty but we were still told there was a 40 minute wait (I'm guessing those tables were held for reservations). There's nowhere to sit while you're waiting and the bar area is first-come-first-serve so there was a massive crowd around the bar and we couldn't get in to grab a drink while we waited. We ended up leaving and having dinner elsewhere. I'd be excited to see how it is when we have a reservation and I'll update this review then. But for now, I'm left underwhelmed.

My wife and I go here as often as we can. It is a French restaurant (I’ve been to France many times). It is one of the best restaurants in Austin, right up there with Uchico. Great service, food, drinks and atmosphere.

What I don’t understand is people who give it bad reviews. Yes, the service can be a little slow...as a diner here you need to slow down and enjoy yourself. If you are rude, the servers may be less helpful. Yes the indoors area can be a little loud...lean forward and whisper in your date’s ear. Just take Justine’s as it is, and you’ll have a great time. Anyone who gives Justine’s a bad review...well, I think you are making more of a comment on yourself than the restaurant.
