This place is a must go -
Among the live oaks, scrub brush, and rocky hillsides of Dripping Springs sits an unexpected architectural gem. At Tillie’s, turquoise doors open to a colorful chapel-like space framed by soaring ironwood rafters that were originally part of a 19th-century town hall from the Ninh Binh region of Vietnam.
The intricately carved wood accents a wall of backlit saint statues and a dramatic chandelier. The visual impact is immediate when paired with the brightly tiled floor and luxe leather seats. The romantic and ethereal space alone is worth a visit to the restaurant, which is part of Camp Lucy, a resort and wedding venue. But the menu—upscale Texas Hill Country with unexpected global twists—implores passersby to stick around for a meal.
The once-sleepy town of Dripping Springs, the Napa to Austin’s San Francisco, is known for its picturesque Hill Country setting. Over the past decade, the area has drawn an almost unbelievable number of wedding venues, breweries, wineries, and distilleries. It was only a matter of time before fine-dining destinations and boutique hotels followed. While Tillie’s and Camp Lucy fit comfortably into those respective molds, they also offer a few surprises.
