Restaurant François

Thursday, January 22, 2026 Dinner Austin, TX
with Max
3.0 / 10

Notes

I almost forgot about this place. Sat at the bar. There was a table card for someone else. They just took that away? Max was excited because he saw either Guy or Larry sitting across the bar. He's also pretty sure he saw the restaurant group's main chef. "It's going to be a good food night." How wrong Max was. Service was so impressively bad. We had to ask multiple times to put in drinks/food. Literally told to wait and then never came back. I had to ask for refills of Max's water. And then the food wasn't great.
