If seafood is your preferred type of food, this new Downtown restaurant is your oyster.
Skipjack Oyster opened this month on the ground floor of The Westin Austin on East 5th Street. It’s a fantastic place to enjoy a delicious upscale meal — here are ATXtoday’s recommendations.
- The fruity, creamy “Wade Into the Atlantic” cocktail is one of the best drinks I’ve ever had.
- The martini service is stunningly Instagrammable and sure to impress guests.
- The fresh crab hush puppies came highly recommended by staff and have plenty of meat inside.
- The raw bar offers an array of options, but the specialty is the highly curated oysters (which you can also get baked).
- After a few appetizers, the entrees are great for sharing. We recommend the shrimp + grits.
The restaurant has two specials to celebrate its opening: 20% off tabs with a valid ACL wristband this weekend and 50% off bubbles by the glass all month.
