We ate lunch and breakfast here, it was delicious! The food was flavorful and fulfilling. Aaron was our server both times. He was phenomenal and attentive. He went beyond service and showed hospitality. At the end of our breakfast, there was someone he knew with the cutest dog and said we can take the kids over there to say hi to the dog! The kids were excited.

I enjoyed the food here. It was very simple yet elegant and tasty. They had really food iced tea too. One thing that stood out was their coffee shop is attached to the restaurant. They serve delicious coffee and amazing fresh pastries. The vibe here was very tranquil and modern. Delicious food. Would definitely recommend for a nice meal. Service was kind.

Had a great breakfast here with Aaron as our server.
Quick, efficient, made solid recommendations. All our food was tasty and well prepared. Steak and eggs was prepared perfectly. Burritos and custom sandwich were good sized and had great flavor. Some in our group enjoyed the smoothies and some special coffees.

Service is great but the food is basic! Dry chicken schnitzel with no sauce offered on the side. A piece of lemon rind is not enough to squeeze onto the chicken. Salad was basic. Husbands halibut sandwich was so overcooked and dry, inedible. Soggy cold fries. Son’s steak sandwich was full of fat and too much salty sauce inside, inedible! Son’s kids burger, dry! Drinks were okay. I don’t know how they get 4+ stars, but it’s a no from me. We won’t be back!

I ordered the marshmallow latte which was good, a bit sweet but very tasty. For breakfast I got the eggs Benedict served on corn cakes. It was delicious, but not a true Benedict. If you’re a fan of hollandaise this isn’t for you, it gets lost in all the other flavors. As a complete dish though, it was wonderful! I would absolutely visit again next time I’m in Austin.

The corn dip was to die for. Shistito peppers were good. Chicken wings had way too much chili powder on them. Green goddess salad was fine. Chocolate cake was quite good.
Wait staff was the best! Both at the bar and at the table.
Restroom is very far away from seating area, which was a bit of an experience to go upstairs into a hotel to use.
Was pretty easy to get a table here on a Friday night, which is saying something for ATX!

Absolutely lovely restaurant in downtown Austin. Downstairs is the low key, relax ambiance of the restaurant. Very friendly staff, the burger/sandwich was fantastic! Drinks were great and beer was cold
Upstairs is more up beat and a real party. Pool table, foozball, outside area to mingle and both areas have a full bar. Great spot for happy hour and can't wait to come back!
