    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 .

    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.

    We tried the brunch menu Saturday morning - amazing! We did the central Texas breakfast - HUGE - great portion size / can possibly be split We also ordered the sourdough pancake - my favorite - delicious! My husband got the biscuits and gravy with sausage - the best! I tried one of the strawberry basil wine cocktails - not a huge wine person so not my favorite - but still good if you like mimosas / wine! Service was great, food came out perfectly Outdoor patio seating available and looks dog friendly too! Cute / farmhouse / country decor inside

    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.

    My boyfriend and I keep coming back! One of our top restaurants in Austin, especially for top notch quality and flavorful food. Love they don't use any seed oils, support farmers and ranchers, and serve food that is produced in a fair and equitable way. Every time we come in my tastebuds taste heaven. I don't eat gluten and love they offer GF items on the menu. The staff are so nice and welcome and eating here feels like eating in a cozy cabin of sorts. Highly recommend Dai Due!

    Got lucky with a Friday night walk in and got a bar spot with no reservation! It was a busy evening, but the service was very friendly and timely! Which is rare on busy nights at many places. It is nicely decorated with a local Texas charm and eclectic details. Never been to this place before, and the first impression is actually very good. We got two apps and an entree to share. The mushroom pate was amazing, 5/5. The flavor was unique earthy but kid of had some acidity to it with a perfect creamy pate texture. The greens app (I didn't take a picture) was refreshing and had some kumquat slices for a nice citrus kick. Antelope(?) steak was perfectly tender at med-rare. The meat itself is as gamey as goat would be. Not too much, just perfect! Would definitely be interested in exploring the menu more and trying their brunch options as well!

    I've been to this place a few times and find it consistently good. This was my first time here for dinner. I kind of liked the lunch/brunch menu a bit more. The finer menu did not have too much that stuck out to me unless you wanted steak. Although on the pricier side the food was still worth it. The mushroom had a surprisingly interesting flavor to it. The elk steak was made nicely. They didn't ask how we would like for it to be cooked. We were fine with it being medium well. So if youd like something else decently bring it up. For the whole meal we got one entree and two appetizers. I still felt like I could eat more. So take that as you may. Overall one of the few places they charge on the higher side I am more okay with. Seats are quite limited here and it's almost always packed so make reservations. I did get lucky with my walk ins though.

    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.

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.

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.

Being a mail order customer isn't for the faint of wallet because it makes sense to order at least six cheeses at a time, and that's not a small amount of money. Trying to factor in the timing is also part of the experience. Some of their cheeses can be frozen, and some are recommended to not be, like the brie. They recommend consuming the cheeses within 7 days of opening. It's just my husband and me in the household, so finishing a whole package of cheese in a week's time could be daunting. Speaking of the brie, it wasn't my favorite of the selection I received, which was a curated collection of Lorie's from Shark Tank. When we first got the delivery Dear Hubby and I set up a charcuterie tray for ourselves as a late lunch / early dinner. So many wonderful tastes! It was a delightful experience to mix the cheeses with crackers, salamis, Mediterranean olives, and fruit / jam. The sweet chevre offering was divine. Might have been my favorite. We opened four of the cheeses to sample them and left two for later. It's been wonderful for me to have better vegan cheeses than what the local grocery stores tend to stock. Real flavor! Real creaminess! With the holidays approaching, I'm considering when to place another order to carry me through the time when having special cheese would add to the edible side of the season.
