Grilled shrimp
Angela B.

Mouth still salivating from the food. When I say amazing, that's an understatement. Let me backtrack. Parking is limited and they sent a message stating so and to arrive early. Got a spot right up front which happens to be the entrance to the butcher/shop area. Nice sign directed me to the rear of the restaurant for the host and was sat immediately for my 6:15 reservation as I arrived early around 6pm. Jordan was the person taking care of me and they did a wonderful job. Great recommendations. Started with the grilled shrimp and they were tasty and I can't put my finger on what made it taste different. Perhaps the lime zest? Devoured those quickly. Next up was the antelope leg and y'all ain't never had it before but would order it again. Cooked amazing, easy to eat and those fries?!? Bye, just bye. I could do a whole plate of those and not bat an eye. Dessert was the basque cake and as anticipated fell inline with the rest of the meal. As you can see no plate (even the shrimp) was returned with something on it. Sooooo good. If you're looking for a new place to try, do it.

Biscuits and gravy (bottom) Dai due breakfast with sausage add-on (top)
Chelsea L.

Woah! Smells so good here. Came here for brunch with no reservation. Got the biscuits with gravy and the Dai due breakfast (adding the sausage patty for $9). The biscuits are the BEST I've ever had. Soft and fluffy in the middle with lots of layers with a nice crunch on the outside. How?? So good. Kimchi and sour vegetables in the rice made everything pop and the star of the breakfast dish was the sausage. So glad we added it on! Otherwise, it's still a decent vegetarian dish. Portions are small compared to the price but I loved trying antelope for the first time. When the food came out, I thought the antelope patties looked burnt, but they aren't burnt at all and are full of flavor. The inside was full so we opted to sit on the outside patio, which had fans and pretty lush greenery. The restrooms are gender-neutral with changing tables, perfect for people with babies. I would love to come back to try their dinner menu!

I don't know why I wanted to long to eat at Dai Due because now it will become one of my regular spots! I can really appreciate that dai due is seed oil free and source pretty much everything they use & serve from local Texas farms and vendors. It makes me feel better about what I'm putting in my body. And for the quality of those products the pricing was very fair. You can taste the different in quality and I will be recommending this place to anyone who will listen. Dai due feels rustic, relaxing and inviting. The staff is friendly and the service is great. My highlight was the beef tartar and the flautas but every dish we ordered was delicious!

I've been itching to come here for a while now and boy was it worth the wait. We had a dinner reservation (a must here) and were quickly sweated when we arrived. Our waitress walked us through the menu (love that everything is texas-sourced). we landed on the lion's mane mushrooms for starters and shared the antelope, rice, and okra for our main. everything is pretty much cooked in beef tallow giving each dish such a rich flavor. everything, and i mean everything even down to the fries were delicious; but the okra stole the show for me. the guys next to us shared a burger and I saw many others ordering the burger. I'll have to come by (during happy hour!) for their half priced burgers. excellent job dai due!

Chicken flautas and crawfish empanadas
Catalina C.

Parking: they have some parking up front with additional spaces in the back. It's limited and a tight squeeze so give yourself time. Service: Fantastic! Izzy was our server and we had a great experience. I love that for a Michelin star location it can be luxurious without being stuffy, For appetizers we had the flautas which are the best crisp, full of flavor with an amazing broth. We also ordered the craw fish (essentially empanadas) and they were... okay, too heavy and the peas just did not do anything for the dish. For entrees we went with their shrimp à la plancha and their meatballs. Both were delicious. The pickles and the sauce paired to well with the meatballs and the shrimp were full of flavor and the crisp of the potatoes added a nice touch. Instead of a cocktail I tried their local limeade a sparkling delight! They also have a very cool store front where you can get all kinds of meats and coffee and signed books by the main chef. Such an amazing experience.

Came here to very specifically try their Mead. I came right after they opened around 5p on a weekday, and sat at the bar -- the staff there were super friendly and gave great recs! I would have tried the food as well, but I had dinner plans elsewhere and it's a little pricey so I didn't get anything. That said, the guy next to me got one of their steaks and said it was one of the best he'd had, so that's high praise! I got a small glass (like 2 ounces) of the mead which is $5. It's expensive for how little you get but the flavor is just lovely -- as good as any dessert wine I've had! I could definitely drink a glass of it any time. They have lots of tables inside but the parking is a little limited outside. The day I came there was plenty because it was early and it was still pretty empty inside (just one or two other groups there), but on a busy night I imagine you'd end up having to get street parking nearby or something. Bathrooms were immaculate in here though, and the ambiance is nice! Not "super fancy," but definitelty more upscale than casual. Overall it strikes me as a nice date spot! A little expensive, but I'm sure the food is great, and can confirm the drinks are definitely very nice.

Another 5 stars after visiting again. This time for happy hour to get the $19 burger and fries and were far from disappointed. We sat at the bar where Maria was tending. She was wonderful! We loved getting to watch all the chefs do their magic. I also purchased a few pounds of wild boar chorizo verde and deer sausage that I'm looking forward to sharing with family during Labor Day weekend. Great service and ambiance, and we'll always come back.

I've been looking forward to trying out the dry aged Longhorn burgers. Maybe my expectations were set too high. The burger was decent but not the best in town. My friends tried the Grilled Quails and Mushroom Paprikash. They enjoyed their dishes. For appetizers, we shared the spicy carrot tomato cream cheese and carrot tapenade on flat bread crackers and beef fat fries. They sound yummy, but I thought they tasted rather dull. We also got the marinated beets to share with our entrees, the group liked it. For dessert, we ordered the Strawberry galette with buttermilk ice cream, and it hit the spot. The best part was probably the service. Our server was very attentive with good timing. We didn't have to wait long to order anything, and she was very nice with a sweet smile. It's a farm to table butcher restaurant. Decent casual chic ambiance. They serve beer, wine, coffee, tea, and mocktails. We got parking easily because we arrived early.

Quail (with a bite of the antelope in the back)
Sarah C.

My husband and I decided to try out Dai Due for our 8th anniversary, and unsurprisingly it was amazing! First off the reservations were pretty open mid-week; I had booked for Tuesday several weeks ahead of time but then had some plans shift and was able to change my reservation to Wednesday just a couple days ahead of time with no issues. We walked in through the front as the back entrance wasn't really obvious from the parking lot (which is quite small), but that was cool as we got to walk by the deli counter and see the meat and pickled veggies etc that were for sale. Our server was great, very helpful in suggesting items, explaining the menu, and answering any questions we had. On her suggestion we started with the sauteed mushroom appetizer but also requested the black garlic butter to be added on the side (I don't think there was an up charge) and this was a great choice! The mushrooms were tender but with a nice bite and super flavorful. We also got the grilled oysters- I forgot exactly what was in the sauce it had miso and something else, but it was so rich and flavorful! I couldn't decide what was the best between the two apps they were both amazing. The husband ordered the antelope over regular fries (as he doesn't like sweet potatoes) which they were happy to accommodate. It was delicious- tender and perfectly cooked with the chive butter on top. I had never had antelope before and found it very pleasant, not very gamey but with a slightly different flavor than beef. I got the quail over grits with a creole sauce and sauteed kale- amazing! It comes with two quail that I think were spatchcocked- the only bones were in the legs and wings so you could eat it easily. The grits were creamy and the sauce with the kale and quail was delicious. I was able to finish my whole meal but was pretty stuffed at the end! Our waitress encouraged us to get a dessert but when we declined brought us out a bowl of chai ice cream to share as she said she wasn't going to let us leave on our anniversary without a treat! All in all a great experience, only complaints are that they don't serve cocktails (there are plenty of local Texas liquors to choose from!) but we did enjoy a glass of wine, and then went next door to Vic and Als after dinner for a dessert cocktail!

Dai Due absolutely deserves 5 stars. I went for a date night dinner and every single thing we tried was phenomenal - the kind of meal you're still talking about days later. The vibe is cozy but elevated, perfect for lingering over drinks and way too much food. We love trying game meats, and this is hands-down one of the best spots for that. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared, with layers of flavor that actually make you slow down between bites just to appreciate it. But the real star of the night? The taquito starters. We still dream about those - crispy, rich, creatively flavored, and completely addictive. I'd go back for those alone, and then happily eat my way through the rest of the menu again.

Came out here on Friday for brunch at 11. The restaurant was quite empty but filled up as we were there. There are very few spots in front but a few more behind but it limited parking. The restaurant was very cozy and comfortable. Service was great. Food was great. We had the pastrami sandwich. Biscuits and gravy with Antelope sausage and sourdough pancakes. Also the lemonade and green tea. I will definitely be back again .

Miso on the make
Mike R.

Every time I'm here I think "I should come here more often." It never fails to be good. There's always some tweak to the menu. Some new ingredient, some new combination of flavors, something seasonal. It's never exactly the same, but never different enough I feel lost. Flavors? Yes. Technique? Yes. A new food pairing I'd never thought of, but isn't some over-the-top science experiment that might wow but doesn't satisfy? No. Just good food, cooked well, thought out in terms of flavor and portion, served in a place where you can sit, eat, drink, talk and enjoy. Upscale without pomp and circumstance, but homey enough to not be a wildly out of touch experience. Come here when you want to eat, come here when you want to talk over food you can munch and enjoy. Come here when you're bored with everything else and get reminded how good good can really be.

After a huge disappointment with another restaurant, we needed to find a new place for a birthday celebration and landed on Dai Due. There was a small wait... but given that it was a Saturday night, that was to be expected. Parking, kind of a nightmare. Not barely enough parking for the multiple restaurants in the strip, but after 30 min or so stalking the lot, we found a space to park. Once inside though, utter perfection. The waitstaff are extremely knowledgeable on the offerings and made great suggestions. Every morsel was balanced and delectable and definitely one of the best meat and cheese boards we've had. Stuffed after our meal, we could pass up the butterscotch pudding, so ordered it to go and enjoyed it the next night.

Marble Falls Location: We have brought in two hogs for…read moreprocessing so far. One was my father-in-law's and they did an awesome job, the sausage tasted great! The other was a hog my younger sister shot. We got a call from them saying there was an issue with the hog- I was bummed but curious since I didn't remember seeing anything really wrong when I skinned and quartered it. They explained how the backstraps were 1/4th the size they should have been and other large muscles had clearly atrophied- there were also some small odd growths in the body cavity. Two things here: 1. They could have easily just shrugged it off and processed it since we were getting mostly sausage but instead they called and explained everything. The guy on the phone said he had actually looked up what could have caused this. I was really impressed because it shows a level of professionalism that is hard to come by these days. 2. It also tells me that they are clearly knowledgeable about the anatomy and what they are doing because I missed it. Thinking back I remember there was a strange tumor like growth on it's underside but since it's a wild hog I didn't think to much about it and just kept cutting away. I didn't pay attention to the inside cavity once I pulled out the guts either. I look back at one of the photos I took and think dang, yea there is almost no shoulder muscle but again I wasn't putting any of this together at the time. Thankfully they did notice these things and let us know that something was wrong. It's too bad we won't have this hog but I cant wait to bring them the next one because I know it will be in good hands! Thank you guys so much!

Absolutely abysmal experience…read more I purchased a whole pig to roast for a charity fundraiser. Called a month in advance to secure product. Checked in weekly on pick up date but especially pick up condition, (fully thawed). A few days before pick up i was informed they picked the pig up early and there was a risk of spoilage if it wasn't refrozen. Complete shock as we had spoken twice that very week and that was never mentioned. I said if they needed to freeze the pig in the meantime to ensure quality, fine but I still needed it thawed on pick up. Pick up= associate can't locate the animal, price was not what we agreed to, and they found it "in the very back corner of the freezer". Counter associate said "I just work here, they don't tell me anything" Needless to say, working with Hudson meat market was the biggest mistake. Even with over communication on my part, they just couldn't have cared less.

I thought it was odd that they would be closed on weekends when people have the time to shop along with being closed before people get off work. But those hours make sense when you realize they produce for distribution, not dine in. There's almost 30 reviews so far, but I was surprised that not a single one of them included any photos. If you're coming to this part of town, parking is always a concern in this area. The good news is that there are about eight places to park at here, otherwise you'll have to park in the street, but at least there's no kiosks. As soon as you pull in, the air is filled with that familiar smoky aroma. However, once you step inside, you suddenly realize that this is not a place you can dine in. Basically the first 10 feet of hallway is where the customer service takes place. There is a cold case with all of their sausages on display, including a little beef jerky, and that's it. I have to admit I wish they had brisket and ribs too. They do make a tamale-based sausage for Christmas as a seasonal item. The prices are very reasonable and there is no tip screen. This is not just a grab and go operation, their sausages can be found in virtually every H-E-B. So the good news is that you can find them here or at your favorite H-E-B. Check out the nine photos included.

Ultimately, I am giving a one star review, after significant thought (I am a business owner myself and understand the impact a review can have) because I believe it's the right call for the Austin community. I have had multiple unkind and downright disrespectful interactions with Draco, the second co-owner. I am NOT someone who is a "snowflake" or identifies as politically correct-- I respect dissenting opinions and welcome direct criticism and I understand that people have bad days. (To give you an idea, I'm a polictically conservative, bigger gym bro, who practices Muay Thai) My experience with Draco was repeatedly, consistently negative and genuinely threatening at times. I witnessed him treating other former members similarly or worse especially if they weren't as physically BIG as me-- I'm tall and weigh quite a bit (you'll notice the place is mostly empty during the day). There were times he blocked me (adult male) from leaving the premsis because he wanted to continue a discussion I had respectfully opted out of repeatedly. There were two different times he persistently blamed and belittled me for leaving dishes out in the kitchen-- even after I offered to fix the issue that was caused by another client. In this and several other discussions when I have attempted to resolve misunderstandings peacefully he has raised his voice, and interrupted me repeatedly, and would not let me speak. "You and me have a problem" Ultimately, I can't recommend the Sapien Center.
