    We were fortunate enough to sit outside on an unusually warm night. There were four of us, and the various dishes were flavorful, well prepared, and hot (temperature). The service was slow and relatively inattentive. We had dirty dishes left on the table and the time between ordering and receiving drinks and food was very slow. The restaurant is fairly basic in design, which is fine, but there is only one restroom each for men and women, which is not. There seemed to almost always be a line. We did enjoy the food and may return, but there are so many other great choices in Austin that are closer to where we live on the West side of town that we may not.
