please rec fun austiny dinner spot

Kate's having a sleepover at my mom's tonight (YAY!) and DH and I have been planning to go to alamo to watch a movie.  Sadly, there is *nothing* playing that we want to see.  

Plan B was to go to Vivos, but our groupon expired.  We love to go there when the weather is nice and we can sit outside- December, not so much- so since we have no groupon we'll wait for nicer weather.

Plan C- this is where you come in.  :)  We would love to go somewhere fun, austiny, but not too pricey.  Read- we would love to go to Uchiko, but it's a bit extravagant for us for a general date night, plus we don't have a reservation.  Round Rock/ someplace north would be great, but I figure we have to go into Austin to find something cool.  Under $50 would be great, especially if that included a cocktail/ margarita for me.  :)  We want to try something new, not a chain and we are fairly adventurous.  I'm mostly a vegetarian (I eat fish) so a burger place is out.  Dives are totally welcome.  Thoughts?

    We love Phara's on North Loop in North/Central Austin.  It's BYOB.  It's SOO good, cool eclectic atmosphere (they have a belly dancer on the weekend) and how can you beat BYOB? =)  It's Greek/Mediterranean but if you're not feeling adventurous they do have plain ol' hummus and kabobs.

    If you like sushi, you could try this place in RR.

    Phara's might work!  I've eaten there before, but DH never has.  

    We actually go to Origami fairly regularly, but might end up there.  :)

    We went to Curra's on Oltorf last night, the avocado margaritas are amazing. Afterward, we went up Oltorf to Lamar and had dessert at Gordough's. Also amazing. And reasonably priced.

    I love Casa Garcia's in Round Rock.  It's in a little house off of the main street.  (Not the Garcia's restaurant that's off of I-35.)  They have amazing pineapple margaritas.

    Not new, and probably at the top of your listed budget, but I always love going to Chez Zee.  It's considered N. Austin, but since we live in RR I always call it Central.  Austin-y, local, very romantic w/ the decor/Christmas lights, and they have amazing desserts which is always a plus for me.

    Have fun - I'm jealous of your date night!
