Another year has come and gone, and another edition of the Austin American-Statesman’s 50 Best Restaurants in Austin has been published this week. Congress and Second Bar + Kitchen, at the base of The Austonian downtown luxury condominiums, were both included on the list, at numbers four and twenty-six, respectively.

Matthew Odam thoughtfully describes the experience of each restaurant, from the atmosphere and the ambiance of the space, to the state-of-the-art service of the restaurants, with, of course, some artful descriptions of specific dishes at each restaurant. Read the full article here, and if you haven’t yet, check out the food and fare of the Congress trio as well as the many other wonderful restaurants in downtown Austin, many within walking distance from The Austonian.
