    It was great to come early for Easter when it wasn’t busy. They let us stay for a while after eating before they very politely let us know it was getting busy. I really appreciated that.the smoked salmon Benedict was delicious!

    Second time at this restaurant… a great place!! We had a reservation for 10 people for the morning after celebration of my daughter’s engagement! Seated immediately ( absolutely 10 stars for this), service was top notch, food was outstanding.. I wish I knew the server’s name , because she was so attentive!!! We will definitely be back when we visit Austin again for the wedding festivities!!

    Everything was great except for one thing. We reserved a spot in the waitlist for a table of two, overall waited an hour and a half for a table and even though it stated we were second in line, other people were being seated before us. Once seated, service was great and food came out very fast, meal portions were small.
