    Such a great dinner experience. Had the BBQ shrimp and the sauce they came in was amazing. The crispy red snapper is a favorite of mine and you cant go wrong with the lobster roll. Also tried the brussels which were also in a delicious dressing. If you’re not grabbing a cocktail try the raspberry mint lemonade.

    Good food and service but kind of disappointed no small birthday cake on the house at the end of the meal. All prices are high so a small gesture could not hurt them but guess different polices compared to other good restaurants.

    A superb meal . Special shout out to server Gabby: she has brought her skills and keen understanding to Austin ! Truly a professional with a decisive but appropriately relaxed style: make sure you ask for her. The calamari appetizer is simply sui generis. The lobster buccatini: world class. Caramel crème dessert? Otherwordly. Our guests, who had never been here before adored every aspect of the night. Thank you all, again.

    Superb, fresh seafood in Austin. Our waitress, Gabby, was very sweet, friendly, attentive and OUTSTANDING! The lobster pasta was extremely delicious and satisfying. Oysters are very fresh and sweet.
