Foreign & Domestic

Brunch is my favorite meal of the day and the egg sandwich here did not disappoint! I also loved the zucchini bread and popovers. Coffee was freshly brewed and vibes were impeccable. Highly recommend for a Sunday brunch with friends

Wow I’m impressed by the service and foods at this place! I agree with all other reviews that they really went extra miles to provide the best service! I had a very pleasant experience dining here with my boyfriend. This is a very unassuming place with outstanding service. It was very popular and crowded inside when we arrived at 7:30pm on a weekday. Street parking was very easy to find. We waited 15 minutes for our table so the restaurant was so nice to offer their popovers for free. Every staff we encountered was so friendly and passionate, which made the entire experience very nice. We came here particularly for the popovers but at the end I was so happy with everything else we ordered and I would say the other dishes were surprisingly good! It’s funny that at the end the popovers is my least favorite (don’t get me wrong they were still very good) because the foods were just that good here if you know what to order! We had popovers, gnocchi, pork collar, sword fish and fenugreek custard. The popovers were huge and very fluffy inside with a crispy surface. Pork collar is so tender and juicy and the creamy corns underneath were so good! My bf and I loved it so much that we were saying if we came here a second time we would get definitely get double pork collars! The swordfish was way better than I expected as I am usually not a fan of flaky fish but this one had a very firm and unique texture that I have to admit I enjoyed every bite. The curry sauce went very well with the fish. Gnocchi was very soft and cushiony yet a little crispy. Lastly the fenugreek custard was just wow! I don’t know why some reviews said it tasted weird but both of us loved it so much. It’s super creamy and not overly sweet. As someone who’s not a big fan of desserts, this one got my heart. The texture and flavor profile was just unique and excellent (it’s probably one of the best desserts I’ve had). Overall I would say the food here tend to be on the salty side but that’s not a big deal since they were so flavorful and delicious! The bill was about $85 and we both both very full at the end. It was such a great experience dining here and I would definitely come back if I visit Austin again!

We’ve now lived in Austin for 3 months and visited many times prior…this place is the best restaurant we’ve visited in the city so far! Came on a Saturday night with 2 other couples and all were throughly impressed, with EVERYTHING, except the dessert. Nose to tail is a great motto, we had some sweetbreads, excellent pâté, and even a few dishes with heart - all very impressive. No need of go into detail on any particular dishes since menu changes all the time, but you won’t be disappointed with anything. We also loved that not the whole table has to get the tasting menu, nice way to try everything if you have a larger group. Can’t wait to be back!

Simply the best. I’ve been dreaming about coming back for these gnocchi for months. Gnocchi, green beans & steak tartar + cute space, truly excellent service & nice location = perfection. Next level delish! Highly (highly) recommend!
