    The place is nice and the service was good. The food was ok, but some of the dishes were a bit too much in terms of mixing different ingredients and flavors together and resulted in being very heavy. One of them was with fish and mussels but the sauce they were in was basically covering all the taste, same for the venison dish. The Pinot grigio wine did not taste great, we had a glass each, felt like it had been opened for a few days. Also at that price I would expect them to pour it at the table in proper glasses. We both got out of there feeling bloated although we only had an entrée and one glass of wine each and had a hard time digesting all of that. I do not think it is worth the value and I believe the dishes were too crowded in terms of ingredients.

    Food was great. Atmosphere was great. Drinks were great. Our server not so much. She wasn’t super attentive which isn’t that big of deal to us. The issue is it was my wife’s birthday which I notated on the reservation. There were gifts in the table so pretty obvious. I wasn’t expecting a free desert or anything but we were never even offered desert. She brought us the bill and we didn’t see her for a good while. By the time she came to collect we were out of time. It would have been nice for her to acknowledge it was her birthday. We will be back, just would request a different server.

    Best brunch we had in Austin! Loved the breakfast tacos, the pulled pork, eggs, poblano dish, and the pumpkin cinnamon roll!
