    The hostess was extremely rude. I requested two changes in table locations: the first was a half-booth and the second was a large booth that could seat 6, possibly 8. The first request was made to avoid awkwardness in the event there had been a neighboring table (less than 1-2 inches to move between tables). The second request was made to allow for a larger party (6-8 could have fit in this booth). I pointed to a regular booth for 4 and asked if we could sit there and she informed me that it would cause an issue with server rotation. We returned to her previous two choices, and I requested a regular booth for 4 - again. Her response was “Fine.” She turned her back as I followed her. I warmly thanked her, and she ignored me. I apologized, and again, no response. I thanked her again, and all she said was, “if your party checks in, I’ll show them to your table,” turned her back, and walked off. Our server, Kat, was divine!

    Great Cowboy Ribeye, good size and sear. Iceberg BLT was fresh and crisp and all good value. The servers were faultless

    This restaurant was great. They had valet parking at the Steven and Austin hotel for three hours for $10 which is great for downtown. The food was absolutely fabulous the service impeccable. We were going to the theater next-door and we got us out right on time overall and wonderful experience.
