   George was our amazing server for girls reunion. Food was excellent and drinks by Jeremy were delicious. It was very cold by the restaurant bar where we waited for the rest of the party to show up and throughout the rest of dinner.

   The food was wonderful. Started with the lobster hush puppies which were very good, need to try them for they are more of a lobster dip surrounded by a hush puppy, so crunchy on the outside and a pillow of goodness on the inside. We also got a side order of the brussel sprouts which were lightly crispy and very good flavor. For my main course I had the rabbit ravioli, which was in a cream style sauce. Very tasty, the pasta was delicious and the filling tasted wonderful, pillows of goodness. We also got the tenderloin which was cooked to perfection. The only suggestion we would make is to the waiter, he spoke toooooo fast, rattling off the dishes and you could not understand him well. We asked him to slow down, which he did. I think it is a habit for him.

   We had an amazing dinner at Lonesome Dove last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The food was delicious and the service incredible. George was our server and made the best recommendations, we followed all of them and was not disappointed! Merill helped us with the wine selection and the staff signed a personal anniversary card - sweet touch! We recommend this place highly and look forward to coming back soon!

    Probably overpriced, but food was extremely delicious. Drinks are also impressive. Only complaint is somewhat confusing menu and pricing was a tad excessive. The lobster and crab appetizers were good but definitely not worth the price.

    Overall, we had a great valentine's meal. The food was really delicious and all the dishes and courses came together perfectly. Our waiter Klaudio was really friendly and made the evening fun. The only things I would mention is that the food seemed a little inconsistent (one of our pieces of pork belly was really tough, the other super tender and delicious. The raviolis seemed be cooked to different doneness) and that there was sometimes a fair bit of delay to get a drink or between courses. That being said, the food was so good, the ambiance was perfect and the service was friendly and helpful so we're very happy and will definitely be back.

    We were the first table seated for lunch but somehow waited an hour for our entrees. Appetizers were great. Pork chop and burgers were great but the prime rib was very rare and was not seasoned at all. Odd. The restaurant filled up quick but they shouldn’t be seating so many tables if the kitchen can’t keep up. Most other reviews tell a different story though so maybe the dinner staff is more finely tuned.

    Great service and atmosphere. Hush puppies were fabulous. We ordered the "Wagyu" tomahawk ribeye. I'm skeptical if it was Wagyu, it was either a once high quality cut that was mishandled, cooked frozen or not Wagyu. It was well seasoned, but dry and VERY chewy. It was tough to cut. We informed our server who said they'd let the chef know. After tax and tip, our dog ended up with a $220 steak. Time for a better supplier or quality control. A $300+ meal for two needs to be outstanding at every level, unfortunately, LDB fell short this time.

    I had heard rave reviews, specifically from my family about the restaurant so I couldn’t want to try it. I can confidently say I will never be back. First, we ordered the wagyu tomahawk as it was a celebration and figured we’d go all out. The tomahawk arrives, and I’m a bit puzzled because it does not look like waygu I have ever seen but a traditional steak. Then eat some of it and over half of it is medium well done and for a $200 steak I was extremely disappointed. My night turns when the GM comes over to commend us for taking the tomahawk on. My first response is “for my first waygu tomahawk it was extremely underwhelming.” He told me it’s not waygu, it’s USDA prime. Once I showed him the menu he went to the hostess then the kitchen and came back and told me it’s “Waygu Prime”, a special cross breed. I actually laughed out loud. How can you say waygu on the menu and then it’s a “special type.” Thats not waygu and COMPLETE false advertising. After that I explained the steak is extremely over cooked, after he noticed we had barely eaten it. He said “no that’s medium rare, look at the coloring.” I was more shocked he pointed at the meat that I was eating and told me it was good and what it was. He said the chef explained its hard to get an even cook all around. Excuse me…isn’t that his job? Finally, when the bill came the steak was $40 more than what we were told. The response was “oh yeah the chef said there was a little more tonight that usual” I’m not sure if they were having an off night but I won’t be back. Outside of the GM, everyone was very gracious and welcoming.

    Have always loved Lonesome Dove as their food never disappoints. But recent visit to their new location was very surprising, as the food, while still really good, is way overpriced. Just not worth it given all the other options of restaurants in Austin now.

    Our first drink came after the first course so just a lot of tap water for 40 minutes. A private party dominated the service staff and the rest of us got poor coverage.

    The food was fantastic! It was beautiful to look at and tasted divine! Our server Alexis was super helpful and explained the menu and took care of all our needs! If you’re a whiskey lover, order the Willy! The foie gras sliders and the rabbit and rattlesnake sausage are to die for! The garlic stuffed tenderloin, the bison ribeye and the elk with the hens of the woods-ALL FANTASTIC! The salads-AMAZING! And the ancho Chile chocolate cake…we know how he defeated the iron chef!! I wish I could give this restaurant 10 stars!!

    Went to celebrate our friend's birthday (6 of us). The food was great - if you like lamb, you can't find better. Waiter recommended several first courses - hamachi was excellent, however, it was tiny (I'd say the value for this one is not there, but it was good). Lobster hushpuppies were great. Our meals were all excellent and our waiter was spot on with his recommendations and helped add to our celebration by being very personable. It helped that it was a beautiful evening outside for January, windows were open and ambience was perfect. Go enjoy and have a good time, while expensive, we enjoyed the experience and the food. Quite a memorable evening.
