    It's been a few years since my last visit and things are not the same. There were multiple people at the host stand, but they were paying more attention to each other than to the guests. The food was cold and not one person in our group had a good meal. Everything tasted off, very unappetizing. Our waiter was kind, but not super attentive.

    Food and service was excellent! It was a little louder that day at lunch but there were several large groups celebrating the holidays.

    Quick service since we had a commitment and needed a short meal. Food delicious as always. Fun for a special occasion with piano music at brunch.

    We never have a bad meal here. It is one of the only places in Austin where they still serve prime rib. It's only on Friday nights though.
