Amazing upscale dining in an intimate setting. The food is delicious, and the service is great. There's a fine wine selection, and a limited selection of tasty, unique beers and other beverages are available. The restaurant is a small, old house, converted into a moody dining room. There are several small tables lining two walls, a bar that seats about eight people, and then a large communal table in the center. Being so small, I highly recommend making a reservation early, especially if you want your own table. The communal seating in the center is understandable considering the size of the restaurant, but may not be what you're looking for if you are there for privacy. The chairs also aren't the most comfortable in the world, but I'm not about to let that ruin an otherwise fantastic dining experience. The outdoor wine garden is also very nice.

not a very pleasant dining experience at all. Made a reservation on resy, which was fine but upon arrival we were advised that the outside is only for small plates and wine bar. Now typically that would be fine but the website emphasizes heavily on the outdoor ambiance only to find out that you cant have your dinner there. We were seated immediately but unfortunately at the bar, and when i asked for a table i was told that they were being held on special request. I've never been to a restaurant where ive made a reservation and was stuck at a bar rubbing elbows with other guests, especially upsetting in such a cozy sort of romantic place. The service seemed cold, almost like we were a bother. Furthermore the food wasn't very good at all based on our palette , your mileage may vary. Also parking is limited to just a few spots unless there was more we weren't aware of. All in all we expected a lot more for our $200 dinner (tip included), and its fair to say we wont be back.

The best meal I've had in Austin. I was lucky enough to have the shrimp curry dish. The menu frequently changes so if you have the opportunity to have it go for it! Friendly and knowledgeable service in a warm atmosphere. Great for date night.

Quaint locale with prefixed 3-meal menu offering. Everything was perfectly cooked and appeared to be made with a lot of thought and dedication to how each of the ingredients complemented eachother. The three plates were more than enough to satisfy. Quick and attentive service.

Great restaurant and much more quantity for the price than I was expecting. We we're slightly intimadated by the menu but the food ended up tasting delicious. The only room for improvement would be to allow us to sit at a table since we ended up at the bar which felt a little more casual than we were looking for. The backyard is also not to be missed for happy hour if you can make it. Great setup and nice wines.
