    We have never had a bad experience at ALC, but last night’s meal was exceptionally good. We shared a porterhouse steak and it was so tender and full of flavor! ALC never disappoints!

    We went there for our anniversary. As usual, the food and service were great. I had asked for a quiet table and that's what we got. Very nice. We will return to this restaurant. It's consistently great.

    The only reason ambience was low is that it's very warm inside in the summer. The a/c just cant seem to keep up with afternoon heat, and we had a 745pm reservation. (I was sweating til the sun went completely down. Our waiter left us waiting a bit, too, but they seemed short staffed maybe? He was very courteous and responsive to requests, but we had to flag him down a couple times. The steaks have gone up in price by a good bit but are still consistently the best steaks in Austin.

    We didn’t get any alcohol. 2 appetizers, 2 ribeyes, 1 lobster tail add on, 1 *tiny* bowl of plain crab add on, + a few extra sides = $350 felt ridiculous. My steak was over cooked (not medium rare) and all I could taste was the heavy char they put on the outside. Same with the lobster - the char on the lobster covered a lot of the natural sweetness. Our waiter, however, was wonderful.
