    We had an amazing dinner and great service. Kef was our very knowledgeable server and made the whole experience wonderful. Don’t miss the skinnyritas made by Saki. It’s our new favorite place to dine.

    Our server, Carlos was fantastic. Great energy, recommendations and attentiveness. The restaurant is beautiful. The vibe is a 10. We were able to celebrate our anniversary AND catch the UT A&M game in an upscale but not snooty setting. We’ll be back for sure! Also, try their peach bourbon cocktail. It’s amazing I swapped out Austin Still for Basil Hayden. 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽

    We were very excited to try this new restaurant but sadly were disappointed. The service was very slow, with our drinks from the bar taking 15 minutes and our app taking close to 25 (after asking another employee to check on and then our server swinging by to tell us she forgot). The bar drinks were well made and strong. The wagyu nachos were fine but not delicious. I ordered the short ribs, which was a tough piece of meat with hunks of gristle served on top of lumpy grits. We’ll give it a few months to see if the kinks are worked out and give it more one more chance.

    Great service, excellent food. Drinks are on point. Atmosphere is elevated, but inviting. Our server Kef was excited to share his knowledge of the extensive selection of top shelf whiskeys and bourbons. The food is excellent, from starters to dessert. You can’t go wrong on this menu. And the managers and owners are in the mix, bussing, expediting, and working front of house as needed, which leaves a great impression on us as diners. Will look forward to our return trip tonight!
