In Austin, Texas, you might be more likely to order a three-course meal in a roadhouse rather than a multi-course tasting menu served with napkins and tablecloths such as you might be offered in most large American cities. But if you find yourself in Austin and are in the mood for that kind of meal, Congress is your best choice. With dishes ranging from a torchon of foie gras with a shishito pepper marmalade to a cap of ribeye cooked sous vide and finished with a coffee crust, David Bull’s menu touches on local flavors along with standard New American fare. Add a “killer wine list” and it’s no wonder reviewers describe this as “the number one special occasion place in Austin.”
