    Steaks are delightful - must do for steak Lovers. We had a 7 year old with us and they were very accommodating - FYI children’s hamburger and fries portions were large and nicely presented. Interior of the restaurant is lovely .

    The waitress was decent, but food did not turn out as ordered. Salmon was raw In middle even though it was ordered to be Cooked medium well. Filet was undercooked When ordered medium plus. They did take the salmon off the bill and give us a Complimentary dessert.

    The service was great, but the food was less to be desired. The queso we ordered was delicious, but our main course was “meh” for the price. The pork chop was a full upper body workout to cut through and very dry. The sweet potato mash tasted like straight dirt. The sauce on top of the pork chop was the only thing that saved it. The apple/pepper medley was cold which really threw off the whole temperature of the dish. The mac&cheese was pretty good. My husband said his steak was “alright”. The peach cobbler dessert was ok, nothing spectacular. Drinks were decent.

    The only complaint i have about our experience is that the side order of mushrooms were inedible and we let the server know about this and we were still charged for them. I know it was only a small amount on the total of the bill but i thought this would have been taken off the check.

    Asparagus was perfectly cooked. Lamb appetizer, chosen by another in our party, was nicely grilled though something I don’t usually enjoy. My spouse and I shared the pork chop: delicious chop, mashed sweet potatoes, and chutney. We ordered the cornbread to eat with entree: perfect complement.

    The food was amazing! The filet was cooked to perfection and don’t miss out on the green chili Mac & cheese or truffle fries. Both are the best I’ve had.

    What a pleasant surprise. We visited Austin, and had no plans for our first night and found Roaring Fork on Google Maps. It was a little more upscale than we anticipated, but casual dress was readily accepted. The ambiance was very nice and had a steak house feel to it, dimmer lighting. The wine list was excellent, and the food was spectacular. Service was presented with a gracious smile and we never felt like we had to wait for extras. I would definitely dine there again.
