Great mix of Polynesian and Tex Mex - I know that sounds weird... They have a lift to get to different levels of the restaurant. It's right on Lake Austin, next to the damn. The kids love to watch the fish that swim up to the pier. If you have a boat, you can put into Lake Austin just a block away, and you can pull your boat up to the pier.
Avoid weekends; it's really crowded.

Our favorite winery! The wine is good, and the view is lovely. Weekends are busy. The bathrooms are accessible, and there is a fairly accessible path to get to the tasting room. The upper tasting room is crowded and up two steps; however, if you are in a wheelchair, they will bring the tasting down to you in the lower tasting room.

Great music, if it is a bit sketchy looking outside. This place was owned by Willie Nelson's manager. The food is ok, and the bathrooms are not great for full-time wheelchair users. It is a must, though.

Get out of the heat at Barton Springs Pool, which is really just a natural spring from the Barton Creek. It's a steady 65 degrees, which feels amazing when it's 100 degrees out.
There is a pool lift, and ramps to get down the hill. Wear water shoes, as the rock bottom can feel slimy.
