Uchi and Barley swine are not even close to the best Austin has to offer so I can see why you are confused about Austin food.

I don't claim they are. I mention them, because, in my experience, those are emblematic of the restaurants that top the recommendation lists year after year and are actually good.
Which restaurants top your list?

I don't know about Barley Swine, but Uchi is a good Japanese restaurant, likely in the top 3 in Austin, at least.
I wouldn't rate Uchi as a top 3 sushi much less top 3 restaurant. Maybe 10 years ago it was the best sushi.

Which ones would you recommend, then?
Personally, I find Fukumoto, Ebisu, and Komé, pretty good overall, and my personal favourite is Bon, actually in Bee Cave. I don't think any of them would be considered "fine cuisine", but that I also like.
