A fixture in the kitchen since age 15, Executive Chef Adrian Giovanelli runs the downtown Austin location of the award-winning Roaring Fork restaurant. An Arizona native, Adrian grew up surrounded by the wood-fired western-influenced flavors for which the Roaring Fork is known. He received a degree in Culinary Arts from Scottsdale Community College and became chef de cuisine at the popular Cucina Paradiso in Payson, AZ. When he joined the team at Roaring Fork's in Scottsdale, Adrian met Chef Bryan Hulihee, who became his mentor and someone Adrian continues to admire. Adrian enjoys the fast pace and demand for quick thinking in the culinary business. "I started cooking in self defense," says Adrian. "No one in my family is a very good cook, although they think they are," he laughs. Adrian joined the Roaring Fork as lead line cook in 2003 and worked his way through the ranks, moving to Austin in 2009 to serve as executive chef downtown. The Giovanellis clearly do not lack in kitchen talent anymore.]]>

At the Roaring Fork on Stonelake Blvd, Executive Chef Frank Johnson helped opened Austin's second Roaring Fork in early 2009. The North Carolina native is a graduate of Johnson and Wales University's culinary program with prior positions at the renowned Hank's Seafood in Charleston, South Carolina and the Baltimore Country Club in Maryland before relocating to Austin. ]]>

Roll On is a simple, innovative concept combining sushi with the idea of “Counter Culture” dining in Austin. The Roll On experience enables the customer to interact with staff, chefs and other guests. Roll On is come-as-you-are dining; whether in your Sunday’s best or straight from the lake, we will feed you just the same!

Roll On serves lunch and dinner, 6 days per week (Monday – Thursday 11 am – 9 pm, Friday & Saturday 11 am – 10 pm). If you’re in a hurry (we recommend slowing down), but we do have a take-out display situated at the front of the restaurant for customers to buy and dash. We also take phone-in special orders for pick-up. We hope to provide delivery catering services at Roll On in the near future!

The food we eat, the community we support and the people we love are life’s most precious assets. Roll On aims to provide a unique, affordable sushi fusion experience, while enhancing the local Austin culture, by promoting our neighborhood arts, groups, events and charities.

 

***Please note Roll On Sushi Diner is closed Sundays.*****

Foreign & Domestic is a neighborhood eatery that offers creative and approachable dishes along with excellent service. Chef Ned Elliott challenges diners to try new things, such as pigs brains with huckleberries or beef tongue pastrami, while still providing comforting options like pasta with truffle butter or braised wagyu beef. Pastry Chef Jodi Elliott’s desserts are playful and multi-layered – think lemon cake with prosecco gelée and caramel ice cream. Foreign & Domestic strives to use the best ingredients while keeping prices affordable, making it a favorite among local diners.

Each McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant’s menu is printed twice daily, featuring the signature “Fresh List” highlighting an impressive number of fresh seafood varieties, in addition to aged steaks, poultry, entrée salads and pasta.

The extensive menu changes everyday, based on the freshest, highest quality seafood available. Our chefs work with reputable seafood purveyors to obtain only the freshest seafood from local waters and beyond. We offer guests dozens of seafood varieties at the peak of their seasons, including Alaska Halibut, Northwest Salmon, Hawaiian Mahi Mahi, Oregon Petrale Sole and a large selection of oysters from the U.S. and Canada, just to name a few.

Every McCormick & Schmick’s has an Executive Chef, who contributes to their menu’s unique and imaginative appeal by creating dishes tailored to regional tastes and their own talents. Each executive chef strives to reflect McCormick & Schmick’s commitment to culinary excellence by showcasing a vast selection of only the freshest quality seafood. McCormick & Schmick’s commitment to local freshness is apparent in the seasonally inspired dishes and regionally inspired preparations offered.
