Taste matters. At Zoot we believe that when the best ingredients are chosen with care, respectfully prepared and plated with restraint, the design of the dish becomes at once appropriate and secondary. Great food must engage the senses in such a way as to connect the acts of cooking and serving to the joy of eating as an exercise of the soul. The standard we set for ourselves is to make this connection with every plate we make and to have fun doing it.
We are happy you are here! Zoot is first and foremost an Austin restaurant and so we have little time for pretension or attitude. Our service staff is the best in town because of their dedication to their craft and their depth of knowledge about our cooking and the wines that work best with each plate. Our service is precise, yet informal and we are always happy to help with any question or concern you may have while dining with us. We believe a good server is a partner to a great meal, not an obstacle.
