   Fabulous! I went there with my girlfriends, mom, & her friend and we had a fabulous time! It’s very trendy, popular, and new so there’s a few kinks in the service area that need work but the food and atmosphere was AMAZING!! We had such a good time! Our server was so great! We did get some things like silverware and drinks out late but overall I highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

   Over an hr delay / wait time AFTER checking in for our reservation. Hostess/front staff extremely rude and apathetic when this was brought to their attention. Front of house manager did remedy situation with drinks/food on the house. In house DJ was a good idea in theory but music ended up being so loud you could not have a conversation. Our server, Sarah, was great, however.

   The food was delightful, as always! But, please, the dining area, both tables in the bar and the main dining room, is like a nightclub. The music is WAY TOO LOUD, not permitting patrons to have reasonable conversations at their tables. Please consider turning down the volume. I asked both the server and the hostess, to no avail. Maybe you all need a bit senior management on site in the evenings… The fairly young hostesses and servers don't get it. I appreciate your consideration this matter.

   I’ve always had a great experience here. I only wish there were more green veggie side options!

   If you’re planning on going to a nice romantic birthday dinner with your significant other, this is not the place. The two top tables were so close together I could every word of the conversation of the couple next to us. We asked very nicely if we could be moved to a larger table or even another two top and we were greeted by the manager with excuses after excuses of how this was impossible for them to do in a Tuesday night, and impossible for them to accommodate us to another two top table. This was my husband‘s birthday. We were excited to get a big bottle of wine and a lot of appetizers and just really enjoy this beautiful night together, and it was absolutely ruined by the fact that they could not accommodate a different table, we were practically sitting on the other couples lap. That’s how close we were next to them. We could barely enjoy the night due to the fact that we were hearing somebody else’s conversation. The food was OK but nothing to rave about, but the drinks were good so I’ll give them that. If someone says this is a special evening and it’s a birthday maybe don’t sit them inches away from another table where they can’t even have a conversation. So many places in Austin that you can go and have a beautiful romantic evening and this was not it. PS as manager when you see your guest absolutely unhappy, you should probably move them so they can enjoy their evening. Please don’t come to the table with numerous amounts of excuses with no solution!
