New American Restaurants near Bastrop, TX

“I’ve been there many times over many years. This review isn’t based on one visit. They are friendly and consistent. The prices are fair and the quality of food is to par. They hire hard working locals that have their livelihood invested in the community. Just keep in mind that when your bill is low because of the menu prices, tipping more than the minimum keeps the employees a little less stressed in their personal lives as well as happy at work able to serve you better. Everything I’ve tried on the menu is good“

“14 years ago we celebrated our wedding and started our married life at a previous iteration of this restaurant at the Hyatt Lost Pines. This year we happened to be close so we made a special effort to come back to the restaurant and celebrate our anniversary at the restaurant.
We are so glad we did. We were made very welcome and really enjoyed our meal.
The restaurant tables and chairs are very comfortable, but an uncommon problem in most restaurants was that the table for two was quite large and it was difficult to talk across the table. Fortunately our very nice server, who I think was called Kelby, proposed turning the table 90 degrees so we could both sit on the same side. A perfect solution.
Kelby also suggested sharing dishes on the menu and that worked perfectly for us. We started our sharing with an appetizer called The Slice, which was half an iceberg lettuce with a delicious cheese sauce, two halves of a hard blood egg and cherry tomatoes.
We continued our sharing with crab cakes then completed our sharing with a Porterhouse steak for 2 accompanied by fall vegetables and smashed potatoes. All were washed down by generous portions of Scattered Peaks sauvignon blanc and J Lohr Hilltop Cabernet.
It was a delightful meal, we enjoyed our visit to Stories restaurant at the Hyatt Lost Pines a lot.
Thank you also to the valet parking at the hotel front door who looked after our car.“
