    I had a very good center cut steak. Only choice for that is 12 ounces though. We also had mashed potatoes, green beans and corn and spinach.

    Food was good. There was confusion with where to seat our party even though the reservation had been made over a month ago. Our waitress was slow, we constantly had to ask for refills on drinks, and to remove plates. The value for the money was fine if the service was better. I know they are still new and working out the kinks. We will be back.

    Beautiful, well kept & cared for venue. Great service and staff. Good food & drinks. Family friendly. Very on point with the Texas Hill Country vibe. Something a little different from the norm. We will be back.

    The staff was excellent - attentive, but not hovering. Each dish seemed to have a unique flavor accent. The two side dishes we had were excellent - coleslaw with blue cheese and creamed corn (definitely cut directly off the cob) and spinach. Our waiter had a great knowledge of the spirits. Managers even dropped by our table and showed honest interest in any feedback we had.

    Kudos to the chef! Seriously, Dude, I lived the food. Who would have thought a deviled egg and a fried oyster would work. OMG! I was sorry I had to share two with my sister. Lately I have been on a kick trying different versions of fish tacos. These rate up top as well. Shout out to Keith and Ryan, both waiters were pleasing to talk with and to learn their stories. Thank you so much for a fabulous meal and wonderful experience. Debbie Troy, NY

    Some issues with the steaks being undercooked or chewy. Atmosphere is good, wait staff is very good. So far, food is mediocre. Need to pay more attention to what the customer ordered. Hopefully, since this is a new restaurant, things will improve quickly.
