Austin native Craig Ley opened supper club and cocktail lounge The Statesman in downtown Austin on Jan. 19.
On the menu
The Statesman serves elevated American classics, including seafood towers, Caesar salads, Hasselback potatoes, and pimento macaroni and cheese. Main courses include cacio e pepe with roasted mushrooms, whole red snapper with Meunier, ribeyes and filets from 44 Farms.
The drink menu includes classic cocktails with a twist, such as an old-fashioned made with tequila and cinnamon, a margarita with a touch of ghost pepper, and an “upgraded” paper plane.
