Tell me about it.

Things I can't find out on their website.

It's on 6th street.

good, but not great. it is not in my top 10 of austin restaurants. you will not have a bad meal there, but it will not really impress you that much.

It's pretty nice. It's very crowded. (They cram a lot of tables into a small space.) It can get loud.

It's good. I'd say it's a bit better than the middle tier Austin restaurants, which is to say it's better than places like Gumbo's, Chez Zee, and Carmelo's. I like it more than I like most of the 4th Street restaurants (Sullivan's, etc.)

If you want to save some money, buy a gift certificate off restaurant.com.

Good spot. I always enjoyed having dinner there then heading over to the Driskill Bar for a few drinks afterwards.

The standout item on their menu is the gazpacho. It's one of the 2-3 best I've ever had.

The rest of their menu is good, sometimes very good, and occasionally mediocre. It's a good enough middle-tier restaurant.

i haven't eaten there in years, but all i remember thinking is that they overseasoned their food.

 

[clandestine]

It's much more expensive than it used to be but the quality hasn't increased at all. The atmosphere is very good, I will give it that. It used to be worth going to, but I'm not sure I will ever go back, there are much better restaurants for the price.

 

[WhoseHouse]

So what is a restaurant that is better for the same price?

 

[scottsins]

Eddie V's. Roy's.

 

[WhoseHouse]

Yeah I have been to Eddie V's and Roy's. I have never loved Eddie V's but am aware I'm in the minority here and won't argue with anyone that thinks it's allsome. Roy's was good but not my favorite.

 

[ShadowNinja]

I haven't eaten at Louie's or Eddie V's in a few years, but I always thought Loiue's steak > Eddie V's steak

 

[UTEE]

Well, if you don't like Eddie V's and Roy's isn't your favorite, I have to ask-- what equivalent restaurants DO you like?
