- SSandiAustin •1 review5.0Dined on Sep 28, 2024Our table of six received excellent service from Jessica. The appetizer and our entrees arrived in a timely manner and were delicious. The green chili Mac & cheese was really delicious- cheesy and a bit spicy. And the Brussels sprouts perfectly crispy. We ordered a couple of desserts to share. While our meal was well above average the desserts were just ok. There was plenty to go around with bites left over of each. Overall a wonderful experience. We will return.More infoRoaring Fork - Downtown, CongressPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.7
