    American classics repackaged with a flirty wink and just enough cleverness to make them seem exotic. Brunch is a bright spot, and the duck fat biscuits and gravy are a Sunday morning revelation. Read more

    Pretty empty house for dinner, but the duck fries, snake in the grass (cucumber gin), fried brussels, and hangar steak didn't disappoint. Go during happy hour for the happiest prices!

    What an amazing restaurant. Service and food are both exceptional. Bar as brilliant cocktails and a fun atmosphere.

    The service is genuine, friendly, informative. The place is HUGE and beautiful. The drinks are so good and the food (I had brunch) even better. Really. The only shitty thing was the tap water.

    Duck Fat Fries, Shrimp & Grits, Pork Belly & Egg, Baked Brie w/Strawberries and Filet w/Lobster Butter & Brussel Sprouts are hard to find better anywhere.

    Brunch was great. Highly recommend both: Green Eggs & Ham with the pork belly stealing the show. Shrimp & Grits fantasic, as well.

    Super yuppie hipster but interesting dishes with food/drink happy hour offerings (hard to find one left in downtown Austin that doesn't give you a watered down menu).

    Dated decor and horrid lighting...employees are bored and checked out.. The whole concept seems irrelevant. The short ribs were fantastic and the beer was cold.
