About Us
Jordan Armstrong and Chef Cole Dunbar bring decades of craft and community to Austin's. A lifelong Incline Village local, Jordan curates a bar program rooted in alpine spirit and seasonal balance, while Chef Dunbar’s cuisine draws from Northern California’s forests and traditions—smoked, foraged, and reimagined with modern simplicity. Together, they’ve built a gathering place where every dish and drink tells the story of land, memory, and home.
Jordan Armstrong
Beverage Director & Co-Founder
Since 1994, Jordan Armstrong has called Incline Village home, a place that has shaped his spirit as much as it has his craft. For over three decades, he has honed his artistry both on the slopes and behind the bar, blending precision, passion, and a deep respect for the mountain community he serves.
At Austin's, Jordan curates a bar program that embodies craftsmanship and comfort in equal measure, an alpine refuge where every drink honors the land, the season, and the people who call this place home.
Cole Dunbar
Executive Chef & Co-Founder
Chef Cole Dunbar’s culinary journey began in the forests and fields of Northern California, where he learned to hunt, fish, forage, and cook over open fire alongside his father. Over the past two decades, he has held every role in the industry, from chef to owner, crafting a philosophy rooted in simplicity, seasonality, and respect for tradition.
His cooking honors old-world techniques, smoking, curing, preserving, reimagined through a modern lens that evokes nostalgia and connection. At Paxton’s Settlement, Chef Dunbar’s dishes tell a story of land and memory, transforming humble ingredients into experiences that feel both timeless and deeply personal.
