   I was hopeful for this places especially given the price. I can get past mediocre service if the food is outstanding but the food was a huge letdown too. Waiter was friendly but not knowledgeable and honestly just neglegtful . Food took FOREVER and came out between warm and room temp. My husbands steak was overcooked. The potato stack was cold and not salted. The grits were cold (I could tell from looking at it that it wasn’t hot. We were served dinner with no clean silverware and not one knife on the table. Tortured ourselves more by ordering desserts. The gelato says two scoops and only one was served and it was partially melted(it had excellent flavor) the waiter set the 2 desserts down and said “enjoy” and there wasn’t one utensil on the table. I mean come on. I get better service at Chili’s. Hopefully they can get it together soon because the place has great history and is absolutely beautiful. The over all experience was a huge letdown. One more issue is that the steak is served on a plate with sides which is awkward as heck and what happened to asking someone to check their steak temperature to make sure it was correct? Had we not already waited an hour, the steak would have gone back

   Really poor service, waited well over an hour for food. My wife ordered steak well done as she is pregnant and it arrived somewhere between medium-rare and medium. The short rib was incredibly fatty, had no more than about 5 bites of edible meat. Waitress forgot about us I think, had trouble getting refills on water. Cool place however, just not for dining.

   The restaurant is beautiful! Our starters were good and the pistachio dessert was good. Our entrees consisted of overcooked proteins. We let our server know, who said a manager would be coming by, but that never happened.

   Very poor Easter brunch experience. I made the reservation and confirmed a week before for an inside table for 7, however our table was outside by the pool with kids playing. The service was incredibly slow, waited 40 min to get all drinks (2 wines, a few sodas and 1 cocktail) and order lunch, it wasn’t until we flagged the waiter down to order that we were taken care of. When the food arrived the Wagyu steak was chewy, could barely get a knife through it and more than half the fries were cold and soggy. The breakfast plate contained potatoes, eggs, ham and Texas toast. The potatoes were terrible and bland, as was the toast. We ordered two appetizers, ceviche and Brussels sprouts; the only good thing was the ceviche and the wine. Took our party over 2 hours from when we sat down to getting our check, but had to chase down the manager to give her our payment. When we left around 4pm the restaurant only had a few tables and a lot of staff, no excuse for the poor service.

   Beautiful venue, solid quality food. Only negative was service & that was simply because of the number of tables being covered by our server - it was Easter Sunday.

   Easter brunch was our first time to visit Camp Lucy and its signature restaurant Tillie’s. Attentive service. All in all a positive experience and we will come back. Rather hard to believe we hadn’t heard of it before. Worth the drive from Austin.

   Beautiful place, but service was a huge letdown. It wasn’t busy yet our appetizers took over an hour and a half to come and they were still wrong. Same thing happened with our food.

   Tillie’s is very special—a beautiful restaurant at the end of a winding path in the hill country. Good food. Super service and ambience!

    We have always enjoyed our time at Tillie’s. However, last night’s meal was not as outstanding as usual. While the cocktails and burrata were very good, the other items were not up to par for Tillie’s. The prawns were bland, redfish over cooked, steak okay, and chocolate nostalgia ordinary. Our bill was over $300 and not worth it this time. We are hoping it was just an off night, as Tillie’s has never disappointed before. We will definitely be back because of past experiences and hopefully can write a raving review again.
