Mains: Herb-roasted turkey breast with pan jus, seared sea bass with citrus chimichurri, or filet mignon with truffle potato purée.

Dessert: Pumpkin crème brûlée, bourbon pecan tarts, or our signature Oaxaca chocolate magic shell brownies.
Friendsgiving in Austin – More Than a Meal
Friendsgiving has become one of Austin’s favorite traditions. Imagine gathering your closest friends for a feast where everyone can relax, laugh, and savor dishes made by a chef who trained at Le Cordon Bleu and worked in Michelin-starred kitchens. It’s not just dinner—it’s an experience your friends will never forget.
We’ve curated menus for everything from bachelorette groups spending the holidays in Austin, to corporate teams who want to celebrate with a private dinner, to families who simply want to enjoy Thanksgiving without the work.
