    We sat on the porch at 7 pm and it was plenty cool for an enjoyable dinner. Great wait staff, great food. It was a birthday dinner and we did not feel rushed at all!

    My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and we had never been to this place, but it was a great time. The food was terrific and the inside seating atmosphere was excellent bc you weren’t “elbow to elbow” with the person at the next table. We ate dinner had drinks and had a good time, thank you.

     Overall the experience was very nice, except for the fact that they did not recognize when I posted a special occasion i.e. birthday on OpenTable.

    What a delight to find this beautiful restaurant with delicious food in a lovely hill country setting. We had a group of 6 and everyone raved about their dinner choices. Highlights were the tender calamari appetizer, the bacon wrapped gulf shrimp and the short ribs. Great service as well. Next time we will choose the patio since inside was a bit too noisy for catch up conversations. That said, we were right by the open kitchen.

    The sausage was undercooked. The brunch selection was limited. The outdoor noise was bad because of the music and the chairs scraping on the concrete. If it were my restaurant I would put rubber covers in the outside chair feet. I would add some Texas classics to the menu. Peach pie, grits, sliced watermelon, jalapeño poppers, pecan pancakes, granola etc… It was our first time for brunch there and I’m sorry to say we were disappointed.
