    Really loved our dinner and experience here! Ambience and soul vibe is just what east austin needed. A perfect historical site to bring back the culture and southern fare! My only feedback is the cocktails tasted just Ok (but interesting and beautiful!) and the reservation system has some kinks to be worked out - overbooked and rushed to turn our table. Over all Id go back and recommend you try too!

    Overall a good experience. I think maybe due to short staffing there was a lack in checking in on table or filling water glasses. The truffle fries were great but not an adequate portion to be an appetizer for a table. Food was very flavorful and tasty. I would recommend pulling tails off shrimp in pasta so you don’t have to put your fingers in your meal. Ambiance was great. A lot of people going to the bar that it’s connected too but had to walk through the restaurant to get there, so they would squeeze by you.

    We had a great time last night! And loved the pop up Valentines theme! The service was slow in after our first drink but then it sped up. Great music and atmosphere.

    Starting by saying that all the reviews seem great until January and then went downhill so not sure if something happened starting this year. The food we also got was great... When we arrived we waited a little but and then was greeted by a lady who would also be our waitress. She had trouble finding our reservation (which seems to be an issue with other reviews as well) but once she did, we were sat. We waited about 7-10 minutes for her to come back and ask what type of water we wanted. She returned about five minutes later, only filling one of our two glasses, and then took our drink order. I ordered the "purple drink" (I think I was called) and she said she had to check but thought they were out. Another 7-10 minutes later she came back and said they were out so I ordered a margarita (on happy hour ) and my date ordered an unsweetened ice tea while also asking for the other water glass to be filled. The margarita came out in about 10 minutes and when the waitress returned to get our order, she informed us that they were out of tea and suggested a mocktail, which was ordered. I asked between the two salads which was the better and was told they were out of the one salad so my choice was made. We waited about 20 minutes for the food and a food runner brought it out to us. It looked great and was all there but still no mocktail. Once she came by we asked for it again and I also ordered a Budweiser. She came back about five minutes later to say they were, you guessed it, out of Budweiser and asked if bud light was okay. She also asked what flavor of cocktail my date wanted (we should have given up on this by now). We ate with her never returning and when the table next to us paid out we asked if we could as well and to get a to go box. We waiting about 5 minutes for the box and ended up getting up to ask the host for it. Also side note... we were sat two table from the front door... the front door that SLAMS shut every time with no padding.
