    Price took such good care to be sure we had everything we wanted. The food was great! Such a special place for us! The fruits de mer was very good and so were the dressed oysters and of course the mussels and clams sauce was out of this world!!! The snapper and grits was also superb!! Cocktails not quite as snazzy as they used to be. Not super cold as a good shaken or stirred drink should be. No frost! Loved the little lime twirl on my cosmo though! But we still had a fabulous time!! ! Thank you!!!!

    J. Carver's was special. So thank you Andrew! Our wonderful server was Nora who took care of us from start to finish. The cocktails were beautiful and were enjoyed. We had oysters, escargot, steak tartare, crab cakes, garlic bread, and steak. Special steak knives? Fun! We also had several delicious sides and lovely desserts. Everything was outstanding - food, service, atmosphere. We will return.

    We had a fabulous evening at Eddie V's in Austin. We started with a Shrimp Cocktail. The shrimp were unbelievable! We followed up with the Wedge Salad. Divine! She had a Filet Mignon. It was delicious, tender and juicy. She's still talking about it! (And if she's happy.....I'm happy!). I devoured the Scallops which were out of this world. Luigi served us and you can't do better than Luigi. Just the best! Needless to say we can't wait to return.
