I went to dinner here for the first time and I thought I'd write a review as I think its needed. Before I went, I was sent the websiteThe Link which lists it as the Austin Chronicle winner for BEST AMERICAN, BEST DESSERTS, BEST ROMANTIC SPOT, BEST SERVICE and BEST SOUP. My conclusion based on that information:
The chronicle's readers are the largest group of idiots ever to walk the earth.
We started with the friend pickles appetizer. Everyone who has had more than a couple of drinks downtown and made the journey to Katz's for fried pickles. Everyone knows that they are greatness in every level. These fried pickles were the worst I have ever eaten. They were sliced paper thin (hamburger style), breaded, and fried. They were so salty that among the three of us, all who love fried pickles, we left over half of the order in the basket. For the entrees, I ordered the Jalapeno-cornbread stuffed chicken breast. It was ok, but also really salty the chicken breast itself was very thin and small. One of my guests had the filet. It comes bacon wrapped and though she ordered it medium, it came well-done. She said due to the bacon and seasoning, it was also very salty. The last person at our table ordered the rotissarie chicken 1/2 chicken. This was actually a good entree, but its difficult to mess up a chicken which you spice and rotate. They ordered two deserts (I dont eat sweets) which were the Baviarian fruit (or something like that) cake and the creme brulee. The cake was not very good from what they said, but the creme brulee was excellent. The service was very good and he knew the menu and was not afraid to make suggestions. However, being that 2 of the 3 entrees were bad, none of us will be going back.
