Everything is delicious, go with friends so you can try everything. The favors are bold & everything is homemade & fresh. Restaurant has a great vibe. The cocktails are also amazing

Great personalized service! Mentioned that I was vegan in the reservation and everything was tasty! Loved the eggplant dish the best. Everything was off menu, so no guarantees on the same experience

The dim sum carts were fun, and everything we ate was amazing. I have to say though the best course was the kale and carrot cake for dessert. Mind blowing good. Cocktails were also excellent.

"Order the menu, and grab whatever catches your fancy from the roaming dim sum-style carts filled with special dishes. Make sure to get the handmade pastas and knock-out desserts." -Eater 38 Read more

Excellent Rainey street eatery featuring an eclectic menu full of fun flavors. A must visit while in Austin.

They'll try to turn your table incredibly fast so you need to set your own pace. Food is a B/B+. Some dishes are amazing, others are a waste.

Farm to table local & all are small plates. The $8 for a 1/4 of bread (no butter) about four small slices, exemplifies the pretentious but sometimes hilarious service. Think Portlandia.

The cacio e Pepe at dinner is excellent. The steak as well.
Jennifer ThomasJanuary 22, 2016
Dim sum (small plates) that come out on carts at dinner! Definitely get the Sunchokes

The desserts are unreal, especially the tres leches

Food was good but definitely pricey. If you know what you're getting into, I'm sure it's great!

Menu changes daily. Pastas are to die for. Hidden gem.

Extremely thoughtful, friendly and accommodating staff! We had a great experience.

Mmmm, maple pecan sonoran tart. Love!

The lamb tartare and burrata toast are killer. The desserts not so much.
Howard LMarch 3, 2021
Get the cacio e pepe. You won’t regret it!
Samantha SmithMay 22, 2016
Burrata and all the pasta dishes are great.
VoniaMay 27, 2016
The carts with tapas and ordering cards that emulate dim sum. Priceless.
ptFebruary 26, 2018
They mill their own grains in house to make their pastas/breads/pastries!
Ben ZweigFebruary 6, 2016
Ask to say hello to the chef! Save room for dessert.

What a bomb ass meal. Liked brunch so much we’re coming back for dinner.
RaniaSeptember 26, 2018
Love the concept, setting and vibe but most of the food turned out bland. For the price there are better places in downtown
Chris TopherNovember 11, 2015
Dim sum goodness and amazing service!

Bread. Crab. Everything.
