I loved the outside patio. I loved that it’s tucked in a neighbor! We got cocktails, shrimp and grits, and steak and eggs! Everything was great! Some other portions looked small, but we were both satisfied with ours. Shrimp and grits were best I had and my aperol spritz had the perfect amount of aperol!!

Monday night steak and frites deal is hard to beat! You have your choice of red/white/rose to pair alongside a starter, steak of your choice, and dessert. The patio ambience is my fave when Texas weather agrees to play nice. There was a DJ playing records during our meal too. Book your Monday reservation now, they’re hard to come by!

Steak night is a can’t miss! Choose your entree and receive an appetizer, dessert and unlimited (high quality) wine. Book early!

I was absolutely delighted with this place! The food was amazing—every dish was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented.

The atmosphere here is incredibly cozy.

I will definitely come back again and highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates great cuisine and a warm ambiance!

I had an amazing date night here! We sat inside, at a two-person table by a lovely window. For a Saturday it wasn’t too loud even though it was full. The cocktails were absolutely delicious, as was the food! However, my highlight of the dining experience was our perfect server Amanda! She was able to make suggestions from drinks, to food, to dessert, all of which were excellent. Amanda was the perfect balance of attentive and giving us space for our date. Give Amanda a raise!

Dietary restrictions: I’m gluten free and they were happy to accommodate me.

My mom and I are obsessed with this place! Every time we are in Austin- WE HAVE TO GO!

The seating outside is perfect, cozy and beautiful. Never had salmon on top of a crispy hash brown OMG sooo good! Also I loved the mint in the Greek yogurt and how fresh all the fruit was- I ended up eating some from my daughters bowl 😄

I also loved the tea soooo much, I ended asking who makes it and bought a pound to take home. It had white chocolate, coconut and cocoa nibs in it 🤤🤤🤤

I can’t wait to go back!! I wish we had something like this in Dallas- I would do every week. 🥹

We arrived expecting to order from the snacks, appetizers and drinks menu for 4. Our waitress was borderline appalled that we were unaware that Monday nights were exclusively reserved for the ‘steak frites’ menu. She had attitude. The website mentioned that Monday HAD a steak frites menu, but did not inform upon reserving that we would not be able to eat if not from that menu. Upon arriving we were denied any food unless ordering the full 3 course meal menu. We were only permitted to order cocktails a la carte. Won’t be returning solely based on the attitude and pretentiousness.

Me and my 2 friends came here because it looked nice and wanted to try new restaurants in town. We ordered the steaks and eggs which is not affordable but we don’t mind paying for a good meal. The “fries” were not edible, extremely hard and the meat was a gum. Impossible to chew. The server Brittney not once came to check on us only to brought the tab at the end. Overall very disappointing. It’s a big no for me.

First time guest and definitely not coming back, we had Britney as our server and she literally only took the order, never came back to check on us and whenever we reached out to ask her about the fries and why they were so bad, literally not eatable, she said that’s the way they’re made, my friend asked for a second time about the fries and at this point she was having an attitude, at the end, when we were done she asked if we wanted fresh fries like whaaaat, we were literally done when she actually offered a solution. In conclusion poor service and definitely not recommended.

Terrible experience at this restaurant. The potatoes we were served were almost burned and tasted awful. We politely mentioned it to our server, Britney, and instead of checking or offering a solution, she gave us attitude and said, “That’s how they’re supposed to be.” She never even bothered to check with the kitchen or see if there was anything that could be done. Completely unprofessional and poor customer service. If this is how they treat their guests, I won’t be coming back. Definitely do not recommend!
