A Swift's Attic

Gastro Pub • Downtown • $25-$40 • First Plates

Executive Chef Mat Clouser, sous chef Zack Northcutt, and pastry chef Callie Speer are turning out impressive small plates loaded with flavor, with a variety of international influences and an emphasis on housemade everything. The bathrooms are faint-worthy.

315 Congress, 512/482-8842

B Tomodachi

Japanese • North • $25-$40

It's no wonder this place has crowds, who could resist an Ex-Girlfriend roll (crab, avocado, spicy tuna, halibut tempura, spicy mayonnaise)? The crab cakes are huge, almost four inches in diameter, and mostly crab, bound by a light panko crust. The cucumber salad cools us off just in time to appreciate the tempura menu.

C Truluck's

Seafood, Steak House • Downtown • $25-$40

The noise level and the prices are both steep here, but you'll enjoy aged beef, fresh seafood, and great salads in an elegant setting.

D Uchiko

Japanese • Midtown • $25-$40 • First Plates

The James Beard Foundation found Uchiko chef and owner Tyson Cole worthy of its Best Chef award for the Southwest region; if that won’t get you in the door, you’re certifiable.

E Uncorked

Lower East • $25-$40

You'll find gorgeous views of Downtown, a nicely chosen wine list, lots of wines by the glass, and an inventive kitchen staff creating delicious food. We can’t resist the muscular beef tenderloin with blue cheese atop roasted baby potatoes.

F Vespaio

Italian • South Congress and South First • $25-$40 • First Plates

The comfy bar, great service, and dazzling display of antipasti near the front door lure us in, and the pasta and heirloom tomatoes do the rest. And if gluten-free pasta is what you're after, you'll find plenty of it here.
