I am convinced this is the best restaurant in Austin. We have been here twice and both times nothing missed at all. The food is prepared at 3 star Michelin level, and the chef is brave enough to tie food groups together that you would have never expected to be compliments of each other. The waiters are in another league of their own whenever compared to other wait staffs. They are incredibly knowledgeable of their menu, they are prompt, and most importantly they make you feel comfortable in their restaurant. It’s clear that the entire staff has a passion for the restaurant and serving people the most amazing food possible.
