My friend and I both ate off the vegetarian menu and it was amazing. Our waiter was knowledgeable and the tequila and cocktail menu was lengthy. Worth noting that almost all seating is outside, which is great right now in the fall, but could be rough in the 8 months of summer that Austin gets!

The service was impeccable and the Dean and Peeler Black Angus tenderloin was delicious, as was the chocolate soufflé. We also enjoyed the ham & Gruyère croquettes, the black truffle deviled eggs, the scallops, and the halibut. Wonderful place to celebrate any special event!

Absolutely incredible meal. My boyfriend and I had the Wagyu tartare, scallops, oysters, 35 day aged wagyu steak, fingerling potatoes, and buñuelo for dessert. The service was great, very knowledgeable and fast. They were very accommodating of my seafood allergy and were able to swap out sauces containing fish ingredients and modify dishes to have the seafood portion on the side so there would be no cross contamination. I can’t wait to go back to enjoy their wonderful menu again!
