started in the bar for a predinner cocktail to partake in 1/2 price drinks. Great choice. Table for dinner was as requested, booth in quiet area. Food was wonderful as always. Service was terrific-Leo was SUPERB! Attentive to every need but never pushy. He made this night extra special.

We didn’t wait to be seated which was good. Appetizers and drinks were served quickly. However after that the main course took a long time to be served. We normally are done and out for about an hour and a half. Here, it was close to 3 hours which was a long time. And the live singing was horrible. I didn’t mind it but my husband was disturbed by it lol!

Everyone from the Greeter to the the end of our evening out was perfect. We celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary and everyone was so attentive. Taylor or waitstaff went above and beyond to make our evening out perfect and our beverage manager found just the right wine to complement our two diverse menu orders. All in all a wonderful experience

Best seafood in Austin. Only complaint was bar service as was taking 10-15 minutes to get our drinks. For the price of eating here, the bar should operate more efficiently.
