   Nice-ish place but for the price and being in Texas, especially Austin, it’s a dud. Nothing really makes sense. Boring ceviche, and we added salsas that require you to spoon them onto the FOUR corn round chips they bring. Guac was good. Drinks are boozy but just not cohesive. Had a drink with a bunch of ice cubes in it like I was at home drinking a coke with ice from the fridge. Got the lobster roll for the “main”. Eh... Never knew lobster needed so much mayo and sauce because it’s such a disgusting meat…. Probably the worst roll I’ve had. Glad I didn’t splurge for filet. Service: here’s your app. Here’s your main. No explanation of what the heck the side sauces are, how to use them properly, ect ect. But at least attentive. I can’t see this place lasting. It’s a rough concept with rough ideas. Nothing really note worthy.

   Granted it's downtown AND on Old Dirty 6th I should have tempered my expectations but given the price point you'd think they'd try harder. The service is all over the place and wildly inconsistent. The food, when delivered actually warm, is quite delicious but man is it a gamble on how things are going to come out of their kitchen. The host stand really isn't all that gracious either. They seem more interested in what is going on with their tablet than actually making eye contact with you while checking in. You feel like they're doing you some huge favor to get the privilege to exchange a couple hundred bucks for the most mid meal of your life. I would keep looking elsewhere. There is better food in the same style literally just a couple blocks away.

   Great ambience. Food was OK. Margaritas were over-done. Not the Michelin rated experience I was hoping for.
