It seems you have plenty of takers, but please add me to the list!
I LOVE Cipollina's (http://www.cipollina-austin.com/), Café Jose (https://www.cafejosie.com/), or Asti (http://astiaustin.com/). Oh and Uchiko for sushi, of course.
A good conversation over a delicious meal is one of the great joys in life!
