Looking for Oysters Rockefeller in Austin

[austxca]

I'm looking for a restaurant that serves Oysters Rockefeller and/or fresh steamed clams. Any suggestions?

I had the Rocks at Ruth's Chris last night (this post was still lingering on my mind I suppose), and they were OK... lacked the anise flavor I like. But the oyster itself was delicious.

I cannot believe there's a restaurant in Oak Hill that can charge $2 per oyster?!? That's crazy. They'd better be huge and fresh.

tried out Jack Allen's kitchen in Oak Hill last night. they have a baked gulf oyster of the day. i ordered two of them ($2 apiece) and the topping was spinach and (i want to say) bacon. pretty good, though it made me realize i prefer raw oysters. probably worth giving them a call and seeing when they offer Rockefeller.

They're not called Oysters Rockefeller at Vespaio-they are called Ostriche al Forno con Spinici e Crema al Pernod, but they take it to a new level!

I like the ones at Trulucks, usually. I've had them once there that were horrid, but usually good. They use spinach, although I've read the original Anoine's recipe doesn't use spinach, and I don't make them with spinach, most Austin places do. I believe Sullivan's does them also.

My favorite are the ones for happy hour at Eddie V's. You have to ask for hollindaise, but otherwise they are six very large oysters with a perfect blend of flavors and textures. My second favorite are the ones (also on happy hour) at Gumbo's. My only reservation there are that they are very inconsistant, with sometimes waaay too much pernot.

eddie v's HH menu is a great bargain, and i had no idea those were on there.
i usually share a dozen raw oysters (or so!) and get the ahi tower thingie.
will definitely have to ask about those.

We have really enjoyed the Oysters Rockefeller at Gumbos, Downtown location several times. It's been over a year though...

Pappadeaux's actuallly does pretty good ones. They also have a trio of rockefeller, st. philip and baton rouge. I know it's a chain, but they are really tasty. St. Philip's are my favorite with bacon, shrimp & cheese
