    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.

    Park in the Blue Parking garage, which is the closest. The reservation was easy to make; I had to change it twice and doing that was no trouble. The seating staff was only off by about 5 minutes, which wasn't much; the waiter was friendly and immediately at the table. We had heard raves about the pork chop special and those rants were not exaggerated. I'm telling you, that was the best meat of any variety that I have had this year! Oh my goodness, it was huge, maybe 4" x 4 " square, with a sweet, caramelized brown on the sides, applesauce that was a terrific dipping sauce, and the most tender meat you could imagine. Yum yum, I can still taste it. Ya gotta go!

    The indoor band was very loud, especially the piano. I would have preferred no music to load music as it made it hard to talk to others at the table and to place our order.

    Our server, Leeann C was incredibly kind. She offered to take our group photo as we were celebrating the Christmas holiday over lunch. When I asked about the soup of the day and told her my favorite was the tomato bisque, she said it wasn't on today's menu but she went to the kitchen and found out the chef's were already preparing it. She subbed it for me to make me happy!
