365 Austin LUTIE'S GARDEN RESTAURANT AT THE COMMODORE PERRY ESTATE

Role Summary

"Lutie's is remarkably charming. Utterly familiar yet like no place you've ever been. Tucked away into the formal gardens of the Commodore Perry Estate, it's designed as an unexpected urban refuge where you can linger over a delicious meal and enjoy a refreshing cocktail while taking in the bucolic setting in the middle of the city."

Become one of the authors of our story for the new Ken Fulk-designed neighborhood restaurant, Lutie's, located at Commodore Perry Estate, an Auberge Resorts Collection, and helmed by husband and wife team, Executive Chef Bradley Nicholson and Pastry Chef Susana Querejazu.

Menus will celebrate regional flavors and spotlight seasonal organic ingredients sourced from the estate's in-house gardens and local purveyors. The ever-changing menus will be complemented by a robust beverage program, including an exceptional collection of rare liquors and natural wine.
