My friend and I both ate off the vegetarian menu and it was amazing. Our waiter was knowledgeable and the tequila and cocktail menu was lengthy. Worth noting that almost all seating is outside, which is great right now in the fall, but could be rough in the 8 months of summer that Austin gets!

Cocktails were first on the menu and were perfection. Followed by the NY Strip and Cheffy potatoes. Steak served on a bed of grilled onions with a nice char and spices was the highlight. A plus service and took some popovers to go. Date night success!

I would like to start by saying that the food was AMAZING. drinks were awesome and we got a variety. Everything was great but felt like the server was rushing us to leave. We went early on a Friday and no one was in the restaurant but felt like we were being pushed out. Checks were picked up while we were still there and not busy at all which seems odd to me.
