    I took 4 people to dinner. The cocktails and appetizers were awesome. My friends ordered the pasta with chicken as then protein and a rack of lamb. I ordered the Peruvian Sea Bass. Those who ordered the pasta and rack of lamb were very happy with their selection. My sea bass was pretty lame. I loved the sweet potato gyoki but the fish bland. I have no idea why I got raw, sliced carrots. For the price, could I have them roasted with a balsamic vinegar, or brown sugar or a pesto? Lesson for me is you need skills to make a tasty, memorable meal with seafood. I'll return again but I will never order any fish. It was not a memorable. Our server was damn good. I loved her happy, positive attitude. I did not tell her about the fish because it was Christmas and she was moving with a purpose.

    It’s Christmas today so that’s probably why everything was so underwhelming. Took an hour for our food to come and the appetizers were brought at the same time as our meal. Clam chowder was good but everything else bland —tasted like cafeteria food. Server was sweet but probably new to serving.

    We wanted a Christmas brunch that wasn’t a set menu with a cool vibe and they delivered with our party of 6. Even my teens loved it. Food was great, photo ops for them were great. Service was amazing. This will be our new Christmas Day tradition!! Thank y’all for making it great!

    Took nearly 15 minutes for someone to notice us waiting to get seated despite our reservation. Food was ridiculously expensive for a 2 appetizers and 2 drinks (nearly 100$!). Service was extremely slow and took forever at every stage, despite the restaurant being nearly empty on a Monday evening. Quite disappointing since I’ve liked this in the past. I won’t be back.

    We had an outside table with a beautiful view of the city. It was a chilly night but the heat lamps kept us toasty. The cocktails were fantastic. My friend and I both had a Pomegranate Lemon Drop. The service was attentive without being disruptive to conversation and privacy. We shared 3 appetizers - baked goat cheese, calamari and ahi tuna tacos. All three were good but the goat cheese and ahi tuna tacos were top notch. Highly recommend.

    We went there for Thanksgiving dinner. We were visiting Austin for the first time. The service was less than desirable. The server was unfriendly and seemed disinterested in serving us. The bread for the table was served just before the meal arrived. I ordered the steak and I was given a steak knife. I had to eat with a dinner knife and then get the server’s attention to ask for the steak knife. The sweet potatoes were charred, I’m not sure if that is what they were going for because some pieces were under cooked. There was a fly in a drink that was ordered ( which was taken off the bill). The server knew our young child was sharing with us and no additional plate was offered so he had to eat out of the small plate. This seems to be a highly rated restaurant but our experience was very disappointing. We will not be recommending to anyone nor will we return.
