    The hostess was rude, the waiter seemed like she was half asleep . Service sucked here, nothing like Cedar Park location. Came for Sunday brunch, won't be back.

    Took my boyfriend here for his birthday. First time eating here. Overall the restaurant is beautiful. Our server Julie was friendly and kind. But she was new and didn’t know the wine at all. Being a wine bar there should’ve been more training. Food was really good! Was a good experience and he enjoyed the night!

    Because of the Austin City Limits event, the restaurant was unusually quiet and we were able to easily get a nice table overlooking the creek just at sunset. Very nice! Service was friendly and perfectly attentive without being intrusive. Wines continue to be a strong point. - Shrimp Bisque was excellent! - Salad wedge was excellent! - Okra was OK - Roast Chicken was OK (Note: chicken is a bit of a theme for me. Most restaurants have stopped paying attention to my favorite food and it is getting hard to find a really nice roast chicken anywhere. This one was OK, but not quite that perfect [difficult!] blend of crisp skin, tender meat, and moistness. I am still looking for the "pan fried roast chicken" from the now defunct Hyde Park Grill South.) At any rate, we love this restaurant for overall experience, have been coming for years and look forward to more visits in the future.

    Big menu. Always hard to choose a meal as every fish is so good! I got The steak this time. Perfectly charred and cooked, with tasty vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes. One of my favorite Austin restaurants.
