   Excellent all around. Service was exceptional - thank you, Dylan! Ordered two of the crudite because the sunflower pesto paired with the freshest vegetable crudite was outstanding and had to order one more. Fried Chicken - hands down, one of the best fried chicken ever. Light batter, sumptious flavor and moist chicken. Loved the sauces. Didn't realize the Korean-theme when I made the reservation - don't let this deter you less-adventurous or non-asian types. The Korean flavors were nuanced - you will love it! Definitely a favorite dining spot now!

   Some of the best food I’ve had in Austin...or anywhere, for that matter. Really outstanding and creative without being too fussy or faux-fancy.

   The dishes were quiet impressive. We did the four course meal option and could barley finish it. I recommend the Bbqd crab or Maitake to start. We also shared the pork entree and beef rib. The cocktails are a little pricey so save some cash and get wine instead. Overall all a trmendous experience with good late night vibes and music to close the Saturday night

   We went based on the generally positive reviews, and interesting menu. This was an anniversary dinner, so I did hope it would be exceptional, but it fell well short. The positives: -attractive building, tasteful decor, social atmosphere. -our best dish was our appetizer, a red snapper, green tomato sorbet, avocado. Bright, fresh, I could have eaten it all night. If I went again, it’s only for this. That kind of ends the positives. Having worked in restaurants a hundred years ago, I try to give the benefit of the doubt when mistakes happen. There were just too many in this case. The negatives: -when you ask if we’ve been there before, and we haven’t, explain thoroughly. Handing me a menu and saying the drinks are in the middle doesn’t tell me much. Are those your signature drinks? Do you have a full bar? Tell me a little about your local beers on tap. Also, in a place that’s a little loud, verify the order...I didn’t order a Chardonnay, my wife did, but I didn’t. -bringing side plates out with an entree doesn’t make it family style, especially if portions are small. I’d say tapas more than family style. -the flavors were all bold, which isn’t usually bad, but the beets were too smoky, and the tilefish coating was too salty, killing the great sweet taste of the meat. -the roast pork was different, and pretty tough. When I think of roast pork I don’t think of what appears to be thinly sliced loin finished in an oven. Great flavors, but disappointing from a texture standpoint. -last, but certainly not least, please remove the gluten free cornbread from your menu. There is absolutely no reason to serve something that inedible to customers. Rock hard, dry, burnt tasting. I don’t care if it was an error, it should have been caught before it was sent to a table, either in the kitchen or at service. We really wanted to like this place, but it fell short in too many ways.

   The restaurant had very good ambiance and the food was excellent. I had the pasta dish and it was very flavorful. It had just the right amount of spice to it as well. My friend and I shared the pimento cheese appetizer and it was also delicious. We had the chocolate and caramel creme brulee for dessert which was good but could use a little tweaking. We were told it was the first day for it to be on the menu. It wasn't as creamy as normal creme brulee but the salted caramel added a nice touch. Would definitely recommend this restaurant!

   We chose the Pick 4 option and LOVED it! The best choice was the bacon, shrimp and chicken skewers. The pork was amazing!!! Can’t wait to come back!

    Good food and drinks. The uninvited gnats at our table were a bit of a nuisance at an otherwise nice evening out.
