Claire was our lovely, knowledgeable waitperson. She recommended great cocktails. We started out with the deviled eggs, with bacon. We had bbq meatloaf, ribeye, salmon, chicken fried chicken and a burger. All were very good, although the chicken was a tad overcooked. We finished off the evening with strawberry cake, the birthday girl's favorite cake. It was a delightful evening

This place, overall, is great. I ordered the steak and eggs, it arrived lukewarm and tasted like it had no seasoning. My eggs were cooked the way I ordered them but again, they were lukewarm The waitstaff is great, no complaints and its a little pricey but that's not out of the ordinary for Austin. We will come back for sure, ill just makes sure and specific that I want my breakfast to come hot.
