Carillon, fine dining in Austin, TX at its best

Date Night: Carillon

Located within the AT&T Conference Center, on the UT campus, Carillon remains one of our favorite fine dining options in Austin. The $60 pre fixe option is a real bargain at seven courses. The meal took three hours and allowed us to enjoy almost everything on the menu (14 choices between the two of us)

They started us with an amuse bouche, so I guess that makes it an 8 course meal.
