Kevin Fink's live-fire flagship — the most ambitious project from the James Beard-pedigreed Emmer & Rye group — built around a towering open hearth in a soaring Downtown Austin room. Hestia treats fire as the throughline: dry-aged steaks, wood-roasted vegetables, and house-cured everything, plus a hidden cocktail lounge (Kalimotxo) below. More serious than a steakhouse and more primal than a tasting-menu room, it's one of Austin's defining fine-dining destinations — a temple to smoke, char, and craft.
