Michael Bardsley: Tried the calamari, smoke mussels escabeche and two main meals. Excellent service. Happy Hour is the best time to try everything.
Jonathon Taylor: Could’ve sworn I rated this. We’ve been here multiple times and had pretty much everything on the menu. 10 out of 10 every time.
Rania: Fish taco only available before 5 or 6pm. Great selection of seafood. Worth checking out their happy hour deals. High blood pressure diet friendly.
Sheetal Bongale: Amazing Happy hour menu. Chicken Naan, Lamb kebabs, Spicy Edamame, Bruschetta were amazing! Best moscow mule!
Nicholas Alter: Awesome first experience. Matt, the waiter, is awesome. If he is on duty, ask for him and tip him well. Just fantastic.
Steve Elmore: Ditto on Matt the server! The guy is awesome!

Irma Rodriguez: On Sunday, make reservations for brunch for 10 am or later, no alcohol is served before that hour, and you might want to try the bloody Mary's or mimosas

Adam Klein: The Citadel Room is a nice spot for a wedding. Small but very cozy.
CNN: Opened in 1886, this is the oldest operating hotel in Austin. Legend has it the original owner, cattle baron Jesse Driskill, lost the hotel to his brother in law in a poker game in 1888.
The Most Interesting Man in the World: They say this lovely Texas landmark is haunted. Me? I don’t believe in ghosts, and I had a lengthy debate about this very topic with a rather opaque visitor one autumn night in room 319.

Christopher Langmuir: Tofu scramble taco. Best breakfast taco I've had in Austin.
MattersOfGrey.com: Try a coconut lime Italian soda. On a hot day, this tasty beverage quenches thirst like nobody's business
Sommer Kapitan: The tofu scramble is a panty-dropper. Seriously. I want to take this scramble to bed and roll around in it's yeasty, loamy goodness. Best scramble I've found in the states.

Amy Dudek: Antelope was a good choice. Best and first antelope I've ever had!
Thrillist: This champagne & fried chicken joint's Summer menu matches highbrow tastes with gluttonous, comfort-style prep. Recommended: The Roasted Lockhart Quail with Peach Butter and house Bacon Marmalade. Read more.
Cooking Channel: Competitively priced wines, mouth-wateringly good fried foods & a motto that reads: "Fried Chicken & Champagne After Midnight-Why the Hell Not?" Get Pan Borracho, Fried Chicken and Alligator Beignets.
