The Clay Pit is Austin's only legit upscale Indian restaurant. It's located in the Bertram building, one of Austin's oldest, that is packed with history and often featured on TV shows and local tours for it's legendary ghost hauntings. The menu is amazing and priced reasonably well. Highly recommended for date night.

One of the first restaurants to open in the 2nd Street District, Taverna has staying power by adhering to a simple formula of authentic high quality food at reasonable prices. It's proximity to the ACL theater and several Austin condos can fill this place up early.

Possibly the first fine dining restaurant in Austin, Jeffrey's opened in 1975 and has served Austin's (and the world's) elite with regulars that included George Bush, Lance Armstrong, and Andy Roddick. The restaurant is small, cozy, and pricey with most entrees near the $50 range.

Located at 35th and Bull Creek, Cucina features brick oven fired pizzas, appetizers, entrees, as well as a variety of simple, yet complete, pasta dishes. Different than most of the places on this list, Cucina makes the cut based on simplicity, heart, and reasonable prices. While some aim for the fanciest ambiance and meals packed with rare ingredients, others like something classic and reasonably priced. You get both at Cucina with a dose of charming personality and relaxing décor.
