Listed with the critics and writers in Austin.

Darcie Duttweiler writes the bulk of the Austin Chronicle's named restaurant reviews, among them Austin Oyster Co., Restaurant François, Small's Wine Bar and Rosewood Social Club. She eats and then says what she found on both sides: reviewing Austin Oyster Co. in July 2026 she called the oysters among the cleanest and best shucked in the city and praised the shallot mignonette, and in the same piece she wrote that the dining room is undeniably loud.

    “The pulled chicken, available outside the sampler, might be the sleeper hit: tender, moist, and especially good tucked into house-made tortillas.”

    “Rather than freezing into a hard brick, the cookies remain soft and slightly doughy, making the whole thing easy to eat from first bite to last.”
