First of all, had a reservation at 12:00 and took us back almost 20 minutes late. All the food didn’t come out at the same time. The restaurant was very warm and loud. There are better options out there. Food was average.

Food was great, service was great! Met some old friends there and they commented on the vibe. Very Austin. I'm glad we picked it! We will be back again, and again.

We had reservations for Father’s Day brunch. We were seated inside and it was extremely hot. The service was very slow. Our fries came after we finished eating all of our meals. Servings are very small for salad and fruit. The smash burger and quesadillas was good though. It was extremely loud inside and almost impossible to talk.
