   Everything was perfect. The ambience, the food and the service. I’m picky about cocktails. The Duchess might be the best one I’ve ever had. Brioche bread was a die for, I ate the entire loaf alone. 100 layer cake was stunning and also delicious. This just beat out my number one favorite, Jeffery’s in town.

   Scallops and salmon were delightful. Not as busy as I thought which made it great. Ambiance was fantastic.

   Overall great dining experience including fantastic service and dishes that were both visually creative and delicious. Has a club lounge vibe, but not overpowering

   Poor service, a wine list that needs help, food that taste ok but not great, lack of presentation quality. Cool restaurant design and lively dance music. Overall, enjoy a cocktail at the bar… and go eat somewhere else.

   Restaurant is beautifully decorated and our food was amazing! Our waitress explained each of our drinks and entrée very well. Definitely will be going back.

   While our waiter, Lauren, was very kind and professional, the front host was rude and unwelcoming. We were initially seated in the back corner and requested to move, but they were unable to accommodate our request due to specific room reservations. We were told you need to “reserve” a table at the front of the restaurant “to sit there” but OpenTable only offers 'standard' or 'bar' options for booking, and their website does not give you an option to pick either. This restaurant gives off neutral Vanderpump vibes, with an Alice in Wonderland theme. The food was decent. After dining here, I understand what the famous Austin food blogger, A Taste of Koko, was referring to, but we wanted to give it a try. If you're looking for Instagram-worthy pictures, this is the place to be. However, if you seek an authentic Austin culinary experience, I recommend saving your money and dining elsewhere.

    Very cool "theatrical" drinks and best full caviar service in town. Second time here (we rarely go to anyplace more than once) and did not disappoint.
