FINO transformed an old Austin favorite into a new Austin favorite… new name, new owner/operator and a whole new energy.
Formerly Granite Café, FINO took the right approach in gutting the space and giving it a facelift! Upon reaching the top of the stairs to this second floor space you will be greeted by a spacious but intimate patio. Dining seating is accented with metal and wood screens allowing privacy with natural light. The cozy outdoor lounge is a bit Moroccan with an Austin skyline.
Upon entering the space you are not only greeted by a hostess but a backdrop of a custom wood screen and amber lumacite reflecting shadows of the busy bar. With its metal and wood finishes, the bar also serves as a divider between dining areas. Whether sitting at one of the intimate tables or joining a group at the lively captains table, each dining area is surrounded by tall, colorful banquets and full height windows enabling a spectacular view from any seat. The space is finished with various treatments including carpet, wood, stained concrete and draperies, and the restroom tile surround is fresh, clean and warm.
