Left wanting. While the cocktails were interesting most of the food fell flat. The high price for every item doesn't feel justified once you dive into your dish. We selected from the A la carte menu vs the $95 tasting menu at dinner. The mussels were probably the best dish out of all of them, cooked to perfection with a curry sauce that was perfectly spicy. Steak felt mediocre, the crab was flavorful but small l, and the baked/flaming cheese dish was ok but empty- although a cool spectacle. The snapper ceviche was okay, mostly stacked with garnishes then there was actual fish- and I was looking forward to it. I'm all for small tapas style dishes but these felt empty, always something missing. The ideas felt good but the execution wasn't there. The second best dish was a dessert, the Feta cheese cake with watermelon sorbet, something different and executed well, though most of my party wasn't a fan I thought it was yummy. The bev menu has variety but it's pricey. They do have half priced bottles of wine on Wednesday but there will be a select few available for that special. I suppose what was missing was a story, a journey, the menu felt all over the place. There were so many choices but there wasn't one thing to tie it all together. Overall service was wonderful and I didn't hate the food, I just didn't truly love any of it enough to go back or recommend it. it's there, it's an option but there are other places to have a high end dinning experience, where you feel satiated and happy.

Not so French. Cheese board was more Italian/American, nothing French to it. The dishes were decent despite the over cooked fries. Chocolate mousse was more like an instant pudding. Too bad, the decor is very cute and the service id alright. Great cocktails.

I’ve been excited to try this place for a while. I was a big fan of Sway’s ambiance so really wanted to see this remodeled into a French Bistro. Glad to say, I was very impressed by the remodel, particularly where they placed their bar, long butcher block counter top (my favorite). Super cute inside. The drinks were divine and the glassware was absolutely beautiful. 🍸🥂 We were a party of 6 celebrating our friend’s birthday. Food was delicious! We got a little of everything and everyone loved what they ordered. The scrambled eggs and sausage tho 🤤🤤 So why three stars instead of five? Service was very confusing, to sum it up. Lost track of how many people came to our table to bring us food/drinks. Our main waitress was aloof and not very pleasant 😑. She never introduced herself, forgot to bring us a few things and made some snarky comments. It didn’t seem busy and we were spending good money, so I guess we maybe expected more on the service front. But based on other reviews, we may have just experienced an anomaly so we’d be down to try it again. Without the service snafu, 5 stars all the way!

The French inspired menu is “Austin Eclectic” and satisfying. The Moody Blues Fritters are a signature flavor bomb that you will not find anywhere else. The Bloody Mary is wonderfully spicy thanks to a custom Cajun spice mix.

Excellent brunch offerings, fresh pastries, creatively crafted cocktails - 1417 does all the things right! We had a fantastic Mother’s Day brunch here the other weekend. The decor is smart and tasteful. The outdoor patio is a great option for earlier in the day. Plenty of shade to go with a refreshing cocktail. A real standout- the fresh pastries were buttery and expertly made. An excellent addition to the Austin restaurant scene. Definitely worth checking out.

A charming French spot in Austin. We had a really nice first experience. The staff are very attentive and personable, special thanks to Nicole who took great care of us. The ambience is dark and intimate, and is beautifully decorated. My recommendations are: • Cucumber Gimlet • Escargot Vol Au Vent • Half Roasted Chicken My husband did order the Steak Frites, but felt it was a bit underwhelming (especially for $50). The price point is quite high, which is why I gave 4-stars, otherwise I would definitely recommend visiting here!

The atmosphere was Austin vibes. Went on a Monday night during happy hour and half priced steak frites. Space is small and quaint. The waiter gave good recommendations and someone was always around to clear the table or refill your glass. Items we ordered Escargot- 1st time trying not bad. The patisserie was buttery and added to the texture French onion soup - delicious Steak Frites - only two options, medium rare and well done. I ordered well done . I didn't care for the steak and fries. Steak was average and fries were disappointing. The fries were over cooked and unseasoned. Margarita - it was good with a smoky taste. Glad we tried it, but won't be added to my list of returning restaurants. Again, just my opinion .

I don’t understand the negative reviews here. We had an amazing date night dinner here. The place has a fantastic laid back atmosphere and the server was very helpful. The portions weren’t huge, which is helpful for me and everything was delicious and well cooked! I loved the Duck confit

Cute and cozy! I only tried the brunch but I was wowed, so dinner/lunch experiences should be even better! The Benedict was amazing, the savory quiche was phenomenal and the one that stands out and really was the wow factor - was the chocolate croissant! We sat on the patio and they have heaters, so it was really not a big deal (with the chilly weather). Service was quick and we enjoyed our time. We had reservations, and I would recommend that as it was almost full and the parking lot was full too. My recommendation is to add specialty coffees as I wanted to have a cappuccino with my croissant but they only had drip coffee. Really good place!

I have had my eye on this bistro for a while. The ambiance was very nice I loved the decor. In pictures it looks really dark but in person it’s quit nice. I noticed attention to detail in the small things. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic the blue cheese beignets is what caught my eye. They were delicious not over powering at all. Everything we had was delicious. We want to go back and try more things on the menu.

While on a trip to Austin visited 1417 with friends for dinner. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very boho and cool and exactly what you would expect for this part of the city. The cocktail menu had some great options but the dinner menu was fairly small. My favorite item was the blue cheese beignets from the selection of appetizers we tried, but everything was good. Parking was free which was a big plus.

The food was delicious. The mussels, fries, oysters, duck, Mac and cheese were amazing. The escargot was fine but the service was great as well. I recommend the duck entree for sure.

Honestly, it is more of 2.5/5 stars. The drinks were great, most of the food fell short. We sat at the bar next to a lady who had 3-4 extra drinks than she should’ve, while that is her choice, she was loud & obnoxious, most of the staff was standing around listening to her. To top it all, she was a smoker, and the cigarettes smell on her was disgusting. This is by no means the restaurant fault but it heavily impacted the atmosphere & experience. Extra dirty martini: very good Tiki melon: excellent, not too sweet Side car: really good, it doesn’t taste too liquory Au revoir: very good, taste like chocolate Steak tartare: it was just ok, it needed salt and more flavor Bone marrow: it was ok, nothing special. The bread edges were very dry. Escargot: it was good, but mostly tasted buttery Duck confit: it was the highlight of the meal, but I don’t think a duck leg worth $47 Moules frites: very good Mousse au chocolate: delicious, not too sweet Keep in mind this place changed owners at least once since they opened. This was my 5th visit (the first with the new owner), I enjoyed it more under the previous owner and/or chef.

I got the tasting menu which came with 5 courses. Each course was well portioned and timed perfectly. I’m allergic to their pumpkin dessert so they gave me a cheesecake. Service was great and so was the environment. I’m out here on vacation and will recommend this restaurant to anyone that asks me where to go in Austin.

Really good food, ambiance and service. Both plates that we ordered were well served and depending on your hunger level it can be easily shared (I wanted to try the French Toast and was full! 😅). The passion fruit mocktail is really good for those that want a non-alcoholic option. Highly recommend this place!

A cozy restaurant spot! They don’t offer gluten free options, which being a French restaurant is very understandable, but the staff is very accommodating to discussing cross contamination and different options! The French fries are to die for - I literally want to eat them for the first time again. The burger was stunning and the croquet monsieur was delicious! Honestly, I would visit for the cocktails! They were a real treat!

Went for their Monday Night Steak Frittes Night and man I was blown away! I cannot believe that you can get a perfectly cooked medium rare steak with a good portion of fries and two aiolis for $25! We also started off with the blue cheese beignets and they had such a yummy and unique flavor. Their happy hour also goes until 6:30pm so we were able to get two of their drink specials and they were delightful. Their staff was very polite and helpful with making recommendations on the drinks and menu. Go check this place out!
