Great place. First time, but it won't be our last. We were seated upon arrival. We really enjoyed the food and the service was top notch. Stan made us feel like VIPs with his smooth and timely pours (delicious) and attention to detail. Besides our laughter and catching up, the place was quiet and relaxing on the weekday we went. Perfect! Already looking forward to next time.

They cancelled our reservation an hour before we were scheduled. They decided to open late. Ruined our plans for our anniversary.

Our server, Savanna, was excellent! She offers helpful suggestions and regularly checks in to see how we're doing. And she never lets the water glass go empty, which is so important in this heat.

The filet mignon was horrible, why was it sliced up and way over cooked? Scallops were good. The desert fondue was missing half the ingredients and replaced with melons and grapes without notice.

Savanna (sorry if that’s spelled wrong) was amazing period. She was so helpful and so fun and just such a vibe, she really made our experience top notch. We got to pick our own table which was so nice, the restaurant itself is so pretty. All the wine was awesome and Savanna gave us lots of free testers. Couldn’t be more pleased!

Great Sunday dinner choice. We started with three cheese plate and a flight of wine. The bread with the chesse plate was outstanding. Moved on to Caesar salad and mussels for my dinner and salmon with asparagus and Brussels sprouts for my dinner mate. We will definitely be back next time we are in Austin for the weekend.

Brunch on Mother’s Day but not for Mother’s Day. Price fixed three course menu was excellent. The Goat Cheese Beignets were fantastic. The Crabcake Benedict was perfect and the Cheese cake will make any cheese cake lover ask for seconds- portions were ample. I loved every minute of it.
