I've wanted to come to Shady Llama for years, and we finally made it out yesterday. I am so…read moredisappointed in myself for not coming all the time before this, because Shady Llama is EXCELLENT! First, the staff members are very friendly and know everything there is to know about their available wine and brews. I love that almost all (if not all) are local sips - it's really great to see all of these different places in Wimberley/Dripping Springs/Spicewood support each other. Just another reason why I love Hill Country! When I saw Lazarus Rice Lager and St. Elmo, my gluten free heart skipped a beat, because both of those brews have been treated with the enzyme that makes the brews (normally) OK for those who are gluten sensitive but not for those with celiacs. I don't miss beer, but those two brews are too delicious to pass up when I see them on tap! We also tried the Spicewood wine flight, which was one of the best wine flights I've ever had, and I cannot wait to go buy bottles of each to bring home. All 3 were delicious, crisp, robust, and beautifully paired with each other in the flight. The views were beautiful. Beautiful is honestly an understatement. I love that so much of this area is still undeveloped. I'm sure it was less developed even 5 years ago, but the views from Shady Llama while sitting in a wooden porch Adirondack chair sipping some wine is perfection. I can only imagine how beautiful it is at sunset. I do wish they had a couple more tables by those chairs so I can rest my drink, but it's uneven and probably hard to do so, so I happily will sit with my brew in hand and relax. There's also plenty of seating but not overly crowded with chairs and benches which is love, and I loved the hammocks too! This place is GREAT for families. Playgrounds, slides, almost all kids areas gated so you don't have to worry about them running into the woods with critters. Fun for all ages, and they're just far enough from the seating to minimize the noise that this kiddos love to make! I loved the llamas. Some of them were so spicy and truly just wanted the food, and I feel that. No pets, just food, and I applaud it. Some of them would let you pet them, and the personalities on some of them were REAL, but give them some food and they may let you take a picture. So much fun having them there! Add on some delicious brisket in the back (I am so sad I missed the burnt ends), and all in all, the Shady Llama is GREAT! You are also able to bring outside food, but no outside beverages! Great place and cannot wait to come back!

Gorgeous sunset views. Bar was nice. Food truck was closed and no live music on a Saturday night.read more

We have gone here the last few years right before Christmas after enjoying the Pearl! It's always a…read moregood spot but not as good as years past! They used to have a great sommelier who was fun , knew his stuff and always engaging - now I almost feel like I am bothering them by dining. To be fair, it's skeleton staff which worked as we were there at lunch but as the Pearl was crowded - no clue how they would cope with a large crowd as even we came close to leaving and going somewhere else twice : One when we were handed a paired down menu - my husband has always loved their beer list as they have some rare finds and at first it appeared that was gone - but they do have a full menu and he found some good picks! And second when we almost gave up on the next round! That said is a beautiful space with so many great wines - I enjoyed their bubbles flight ( it's not on the menu but they do offer to curate flights based on your likes) , my husband found some stellar beers and we enjoyed a cheese / charcuterie plate and flatbread! Will still always love coming here and recommend it but it's not as fun or inviting as it used to be !

Salad was good - pizza good but for being prepared on the spot was okay - dough was a let down and it does not collapsed with Wild Barely or Pinthouse - good but not great!

Five food trucks, from Mexican to Asian to Cajun to Greek. Wanted to try something from each truck, but settled on a muffuletta and cajun potato salad. Folks with me went sushi and Asian. We enjoyed all of our meals. The chicken teriyaki was a huge portion; enough for 2. There were several playgrounds for kids, and a small building with restrooms, a couple tables, and they sold snacks in there (ice cream!). Will definitely return to try a gyro, some bulgogi, and a torta.

Total Wine _ Totally Awesome…read more I want to take a moment to share my heartfelt gratitude to Front End Supervisor Lori and Total Wine Associate Chris for making such a special time in my life even more memorable. As I was preparing for my upcoming wedding, I wasn't very familiar with spirits or selection, but Lori and Chris went above and beyond to guide me through the process. What truly touched me was the warmth they brought to the experience. On my second visit, Lori greeted me with the most genuine hug, something the extrovert in me absolutely loved and as stressful as this planning was, I needed it. She reassured me that she was there to support both my fiancé and me every step of the way. With their thoughtful recommendations and even spirit tastings, what could have been stressful turned into something seamless and joyful. I am deeply grateful for their kindness, patience, and care. They didn't just help me pick out drinks, they made me feel celebrated. Highly Recommended~

We drove down from Dallas to come here based on the reviews. We really wanted to love it but were…read moreextremely disappointed! I've been to hot springs all over the world and this place needs to make some improvements to say the least. First there are 2 'suites' and it was really nice if you weren't directly next to the other suite. The people had on their speaker and it was so loud. Even if they had it lower you could still hear everything they said. We had a speaker too but we would just have competed with them. It was hard to relax especially cause we didn't like their music. And the tubs. Ughh. They were black and old. And nasty. The provided shower only had cold water so not much of a shower. No soap either. They advertised food but the only thing they had was cheese. The only positive was the lady that worked there. Super nice. We booked for early afternoon and late in the evening. We are canceling our evening appointment and losing $100 because it was too late to cancel. When you spend $100 for an hour you expect more. Really disappointed. Oh and they NEVER answer the phone. Tried to reach someone for 3 days and always get vm. Can't leave a message. So we are just not showing for our evening appointment.

This place is nice. I went by myself as I travel for work. I had one last day in San Antonio and…read moredecided to do the clawfoot tub soak. Man, did I feel relaxed! Water was nice and hot. The cold shower in suite is nice to cool down and then climb back in. I like that the location has cold brews and wine available for purchase. $75.00 for an hour soak is a little steep. I have gone to geothermal pools all around the country and this is more than double some of those locations. If you want to do it, go for it and splurge a little bit. But it's a one and done thing for me. Front desk was helpful, the process to reserve was a breeze.

Apparently the chef arrives at 4:30--yet 4:30 came and went, and he didn't show up until around 4:50, casually strolling in as if nothing was wrong. For a place that opens at 4, it's confusing that the kitchen isn't actually ready to operate. The spot has a lot of potential, but the management and coordination clearly need work. That said, the bartender was extremely friendly and professional--no issues there at all.

There are 4 picnic tables outside and about 6-8 tables inside plus a bar top so it's a small little place, but totally worth the trip. We were greeted right away by a kind bartender that offered me a few samples since I wasn't sure if I wanted a kolsch or Hefeweizen. I ended up with 3 samples and was sold the second I tried all three - there was no wrong choice on that end. I'm not a hoppy beer person or even much more than a Pilsner drinker .. y'all can keep the stouts, IPA and pale ale beers :) The selection was pretty large and there are a couple of local beers available as well which was awesome since I love to support local businesses. They have a few posters for trivia and "singo" near the door so it seems like they have great ways to get involved and draw customers in to the store. The only downfall is that they don't have snacks, BUT there's a pizza place next door and Big Hops allow outside food in so the temptation to order a pizza and drink beer here all night is definitely there! We will definitely be back - I can't wait to bring my sister in law!
