Hidden gem in east Austin. A little pricey for the average weeknight but a great spot for a special occasion. Can’t say enough about the atmosphere. They only do one setting so it’s a very laid back dining experience. The food is excellent and well portioned unlike some tasting menus.

Eden East Austin is the ultimate in farm-to-table dining. The restaurant is on the grounds of Springdale Farm and once the sun goes down and the lights begin to twinkle, it becomes pretty magical. Add delicious, beautifully plated dishes, refreshing cocktails, and live music, and you have an evening you won't soon forget. Eden East serves a five course pre fixe dinner Friday and Saturdays by reservation only.

Great atmosphere to go as a group! Farm to table. They are byob but had a cocktail stand with 2 types of cocktails!

Not just a restaurant - also has a farmer's market and space for activities like yoga. Peaceful and expansive garden. Chandeliers from the live oaks. Find a reason to visit while the weather is nice.

I had the pleasure of attending a foundation fundraising event at East Eden Farm. The setting is spectacular. The guest chefs were outstanding! I recommend this destination for anybody who appreciates amazing farm to table food with a surrounded into match. Bravo!

Fantastic restaurant and food. All farm to table and the service is exceptional!!! Cannot stress that enough. The byob can be fun - as long as you remember to byob! Highly recommend for celebrations and group gatherings.

Fun family style dinner on a small urban farm was so delightful. They had 2 musicians that were perfect for the vibe. You can freely walk the garden. The food was delicous. Byob or byow which is nice.

Eden East is a great concept and well executed. The restaurant experience and the food is probably not for everyone, but if you are interested in very casual perfectly Austin in attitude dining, and well prepared fresh food, you will enjoy this. the menu is limited, and we had two choices. their fresh quail and greens were excellent. the Beef did not have rich taste--too fresh actually, and as i am not a collard green fan and the preparation was not unique, i would have passed. overall it was very good. the price is quite steep, but the labor is loving and the food very fresh. they do serve alcohol but only as a gratis cocktail of their choice. byob.

Had an amazing dinner here a few weekends ago, the atmosphere is perfect as long as it’s not too hot and you can also walk around the farm as well. The dishes served are simple and straightforward but everything is incredibly fresh and put together well. It’s also BYOB, which I enjoy because you end up saving a lot of money on wine at dinner!

Dining was a great experience, and the staff were so friendly. Loved the community seating and ability to check out the grounds. We had them cater our wedding, and were still drooling over the food days later. Again, the staff felt like family at our already intimate wedding. The quality of the food was incredible. The staff worked with me when I made a few menu requests, and even offered suggestions to complement my requests. Highly recommend for a date night out or catering.

Y'alllll, I love this place. I've been a couple times now, both for the full experience, but also for Thursdays on the Farm and I have yet to be disappointed. First off, this is a great date spot. Come around sunset and do a quick walk around the farm before dinner. The full dinner is especially great for a celebration ($$), whereas the Thursday night might be better for a casual night. Second, the food and service is great. All the service staff were super friendly and every dish we tried was delicious, farm to table goodness. No, it's definitely not an all-weather location, but they were nice enough to give us hte option to bail without a charge when a cold evening swept in in early spring. We chose to stay and they provided us with some nice blankets that definitely helped! Oh, and be sure to bring a bottle of wine or cooler as this place is BYOB, and enjoy!

Went here for mothers day brunch, it was such a delight and glad we came. The atmosphere and what this restaurant stands for is every bit of what makes Austin a special place. They are very creative with the food (the grits tasted like a curry almost, the biscuit included a sauce that blew my mind), and I applaud that. We need more of that in this town. It was expensive, but it also included bottomless mimosas/bloody marys, as well as multiple courses of outstanding food, not to mention really big portions. We couldn't finish! The service was top notch, they really make you feel at home and welcomed. Very attentive. The workers seemed happy to be there, it was clear they wanted their customers to have a great experience. They pay attention to every detail, all the way down to the music. They had a live duo that fit the vibe perfectly without being a loud or distracting. In a way, it almost felt like a really quaint outdoor wedding reception. Loved it.
Thanks for making our first mothers day one to remember Eden East! Will be back for sure.

Eden East was one of the finest dining experiences I've ever had, in Austin or elsewhere. Eden East gets its produce and poultry directly from Springdale Farm, on the grounds of which it is located. You can't really get any fresher food without standing in the middle of the field and eating it as it's picked. On top of that, Springdale Farm uses heritage seeds and grows them organically, so the resulting flavor and nutrition is head and shoulders over your typical store-bought produce. The quality is evident when you're eating the food.
The setting for the restaurant is outdoor bench seating, so it's not your typical fancy establishment, but the area ends up feeling kind of magical with the lighting and wind-chimes draped from the surrounding trees. It's reservation only, with a set multi-coarse menu each week, and they serve Thursday through Saturday. The menu is set each week depending on availability, so you know ahead of time what you'll be getting. Thursday is a four course meal for $40/person, while Friday and Saturday are six courses for $65 per person. Dinner prices include drinks from the open bar, and it's also BYOB if you want to bring a particular wine. They are also willing and able to accommodate dietary requests such as vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free, but you need to let them know ahead of time.
Really it's a pretty exclusive dining experience, and I highly recommend trying it out, perhaps for a special occasion. You won't be disappointed.

What an awesome night out. Based on general buzz I decided this would be a great surprise date spot to take my wife. The only catch is that the weekly-changing menu doesn't come out until the Tuesday or so before the weekend (they're only open on Friday and Saturday). It's a little pricey to dive into ($65/person), but it's BYOB + open-bar where they have a specialty cocktail and wine. So if you have a few drinks, plus considering the quality of the food, it's actually not too bad. When you arrive, you're invited to get a drink and walk around the farm before sitting down if you're so inclined.
The food itself is outstanding. I won't go into details on what we had because it changes so frequently, but the six courses progressed very nicely and ended up being PLENTY of food, even for someone with a big appetite like me. It would be a fun place to go with a few friends too, and the setting in the farm is so unique. There's really only one seating, so they never rush you to finish your meal so they can seat someone else at your spot. By the way, it's all done at several long picnic tables, so you could easily make friends with the people sitting next to you. Definitely a great special occasion place!

Their concept of outdoor, farm to table, family style eating is perfect for hosting large events. We had a great time here
