We heard great things, it still exceeded our expectations. The service and the staff should be the envy of the Austin restaurant community. Incredible. And every plate was amazing. We wanted to pick a favorite, simply couldn’t. Definitely going back. The acoustics in the dining room were a bit of a challenge once the room filled in. Not ideal, but for that experience it’s worth repeat visits.
