   Jason was our server. He took great care of us. He made nice suggestions. The cocktails were wonderful. Which each had a different entree and all outstanding. My only negative comment…. $12 for a basket of French Fries? That right there tells you that all prices are inflated. Bottom line, Roaring Forks is consistently delicious. The pork & green chili is NOT to be missed!

   We were shown to our table right away as we arrived, and our server was Gabriel. He was accommodating, and very professional/courteous. There were 9 in our party and he had a bit of a challenge getting our drink orders. I ordered a Texas Tea and was informed that the bartender didn't know how to make one. Appetizers were great and the sides were delicious. However, some of our steaks were cold by the time they arrived. We were short on time so we didn't complain about it. We've had duplicated drinks showed up, and some drinks took a while before arriving. Gabriel would have benefitted with another server helping in bringing out the food and drinks promptly. For a $950 lunch tab, we truly expected more.

   The hostess was extremely rude. I requested two changes in table locations: the first was a half-booth and the second was a large booth that could seat 6, possibly 8. The first request was made to avoid awkwardness in the event there had been a neighboring table (less than 1-2 inches to move between tables). The second request was made to allow for a larger party (6-8 could have fit in this booth). I pointed to a regular booth for 4 and asked if we could sit there and she informed me that it would cause an issue with server rotation. We returned to her previous two choices, and I requested a regular booth for 4 - again. Her response was “Fine.” She turned her back as I followed her. I warmly thanked her, and she ignored me. I apologized, and again, no response. I thanked her again, and all she said was, “if your party checks in, I’ll show them to your table,” turned her back, and walked off. Our server, Kat, was divine!

   Great Cowboy Ribeye, good size and sear. Iceberg BLT was fresh and crisp and all good value. The servers were faultless

   The hostess was an idiot A steak ordered “medium-well” was served medium rare. When it was sent back for more cook time, it tasted like crap. A salmon dish was ordered without an advertised butter topping due to a food allergy. While the dish was properly served without the butter, the dish had no alternate seasoning on it. There was zero salt and little seasoning because, presumably, the held butter topping contained all the salt and seasoning. Very sloppy. There is zero chance that I’ll return to any Roaring Fork, let alone the downtown Austin location

   Each time of the many I have been to Roaring Fork it has been enjoyable. The food never disappoints and the service is solid. Looking forward to returning many times.
