My first time at Austin's was an accident. I was looking for a different local steakhouse. I decided to go in. From the outside it doesn't look like much. Once inside I was surprised. The mellow adult atmosphere was wonderful. Sinatra/Billy Holiday music filled the space. A small but upscale bar. Very nice. The bartender could not make a bad drink. The booths were very comfortable. The service was almost too attentive. I ordered the "cowboy steak", odd name for the atmosphere, medium. It was perfect. My guest ordered the shrimp cocktail. She loved it. My only objection were the sides which were charged separately. The steak, for Brooklyn was pricey enough. Should have came with a choice of sides. I had the brownie for dessert. It was a little too rich for my taste. FYI, the men's room was super clean. I think that says a lot too. I went back a few days later and sat at the bar for a drink. The bartender (John) was wonderful and friendly and adult. Again every drink was perfect. Summary...well worth it.
Pros: Great Food
Cons: Pricey

Wait staff: Excellent -- attentive and polite. Steak: We ordered the porterhouse for two and felt that there was not enough portion for the price paid. The filet side was undercooked but very tender. The sirloin side was slightly overcooked (we ordered medium rare) and a bit chewy. The steak wasn't dry and tasted "pretty good", slightly underseasoned and disappointingly was not served with the drippings to dredge our forks through, which is common to Ruths Chris and Peter Luger like faire. Sides: Terrible. We ordered mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. The mashed potatoes tasted like instant spuds which is a terrible contrast next to an 82 dollar steak. The creamed spinach tasted OK, but had a bit of a "soapy" like taste. Ambiance: Nicely decorated but the plasma screen faux aquarium screen saver was a bit cheesy. A real aquarium would have provided for better atmosphere. The lighting did not provide a cozy feel. Overall: Pretty good, a bit pricey for the experience. For the same price, we would probably try somewhere else next time. Falls short in comparison to Ruth Chris or Wolfgang's or Lugers. D&J – Brooklyn, NY
Pros: Close to home.
Cons: There are better places out there for the same price.
