    My brother suggested ATX Cocina. Our meal was outstanding. And the service was next level great. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menus and the cocktails. She made great suggestions. The restaurant is very concerned about diners that have allergies. Highly recommend.

    Everything was perfect. The ambience, the food and the service. I’m picky about cocktails. The Duchess might be the best one I’ve ever had. Brioche bread was a die for, I ate the entire loaf alone. 100 layer cake was stunning and also delicious. This just beat out my number one favorite, Jeffery’s in town.
