    We were celebrating our 29th Wedding Anniversary and couldn’t have dined at a better location. Wonderful and friendly service. We had the Shrimp Gratin for our appetizer and we both ordered the Coconut Curry Duck Breast on Linguini. It was scrumptious. We will definitely be going again

    I can’t say enough good things about our experience. Great food, friendly service, perfect ambiance and lighting (not too dark like other restaurants), and located in a beautiful area of Gruene. We will be back!

    Such great food, wine, cocktails—everything was delicious! The menu had a nice variety, and our waiter was wonderful! We try to do the Gruene Door every Christmas Eve and have a great time.

    The manager turned the lights up in the restaurant before we were done with our dining experience. This is generally frowned upon in the hospitality business. It is a very unwelcoming gesture. We had actually just received our entrees. Cool place, good service, tasty food, poor management decision.
