Would 100% recommend. The view, the food, and the drinks (I had one coffee and one cocktail) are amazing. Parking in this area can be stressful but the valet parking folks downstairs take care of it. Catherine was an outstanding server.

We had a great lunch here after decided to pop in on a Sunday afternoon, post walking the lake. The restaurant is on the 8th floor of the Loren hotel and if you can, grab/reserve a table outside - the view is great! We had the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and the lamb ragù. Both were good but the lamb ragù dish was really incredible. The potatoes served with the Benedict were also done perfectly. Our servers were super nice and friendly, too. Overall a really nice experience! Would love to come back and check out their dinner menu, in the future.

Absolutely loved celebrating our 10 year Wedding anniversary here at Nido. The vibes, scenery, drinks & food was delicious! Our server Josh was absolutely amazing! Josh took great pictures of us with the skyline and did a great job serving us! Thank you for the dessert Josh!

The view, the food, and the service — everything was amazing! Dave helped us choose and we were so grateful we tried all those options. Thank you, Dave! He paid so much attention to us - I wasn’t feeling well that day, and he made sure I felt better and comfortable throughout the evening. He was truly so attentive that I just had to mention his service separately. I can tell the restaurant is run by great managers — the menu, the atmosphere, and the staff training are all outstanding. I spend a lot of time in Europe and usually compare restaurants to the high standards there — and this one absolutely stands out. It’s on the same level, which is rare to find in the U.S. I will definitely come back one day❤️

Nido restaurant is located on the top floor of the Loren Hotel Austin. Nido means “nest” 🪺 in Spanish. You definitely get a “trendy treehouse” vibe while dining—especially if you’re lucky enough to dine on the terrace. We had a delicious breakfast meal on the terrace, and their room service for dinner! I’m not sure which I liked more! Firstly, the room service comes quickly and directly from the restaurant. The roasted chicken I’ve had twice. Both times it was extremely juicy, tender, and flavorful. It is garnished with some leafy greens, wild rice, and a touch of mouthwatering gravy. The potato écrasé was a less mashed version of mashed potatoes accompanied with dill, chives, and pickled mustard seed. I added their sumac yogurt to the potatoes for an extra kick! I recommend asking for this addition-quite spectacular! Then, I finished the dinner with their 🍨 gelato which was comparable to true Italian gelato you can only get by air-travel! The breakfast was equally delicious: eggs, sourdough toast, potatoes, yogurt smoothie, and great drip coffee. Without asking they brought yellow bird spicy sauce which was a great addition to the potatoes and egg. Definitely come check out Nido on your next dining experience!
