    This restaurant was great. They had valet parking at the Steven and Austin hotel for three hours for $10 which is great for downtown. The food was absolutely fabulous the service impeccable. We were going to the theater next-door and we got us out right on time overall and wonderful experience.

    The food was delicious, and the portions are HUGE (so order less). The wait staff was attentive and friendly but completely professional. I'll go again when I'm in Austin next time!

    Rather disappointing experience at Roaring Fork. The food came out lukewarm at best (even after being sent back) and the service was less than satisfactory. Our waitress was nice but never present. This place also upcharges for whiskey neat. Waitress said that it takes more whiskey to pour it neat than if they poured it over ice. Very suspicious and questionable.
