Another wonderful experience at Paul Martin's, this time for brunch. This was our first brunch visit, and we met some friends for a holiday celebration. The food was delicious, and a great value for the quantity and quality. Some of the best service in Austin.

First time visiting VERDAD, I had left a note that it was my girlfriend and I’s anniversary. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a table that had a rose petal heart decorated on it. Multiple managers and other staff members went out of their way to congratulate us and ensure we were enjoying our service. We ordered the fajitas for two and it was genuinely one of the best fajita dishes I’ve had in my life. Drinks are amazing, service is excellent, and noise isn’t bad whatsoever due to the openness of the dining area. Overall wonderful experience!

Natasha was a great server - made our experience really wonderful. Even when there are a lot of other diners, we never wait too long for drinks or food and the quality is always top notch. Love the salmon skin roll and trying new rolls the server recommends.
