If you can’t remember the last side dish you had that wasn’t fried and dipped in ketchup, it’s time for a nice dinner out. You mean to schedule a date night, but the hassle of finding and paying the babysitter makes the local burger joint all too appealing.

Take the fam to The Southwest Bistro at the Hyatt Regency Austin for a gourmet grown-up dinner. Enjoy spectacular views of Lady Bird Lake and downtown, while the kids hang out for free in the movie room next door, complete with beanbag chairs and popcorn.

Now you can have your crab cake, and eat it too.

Every Friday in July, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
